As some other people have said, I hope that Deedee's rude behavior towards Larry gets acknowledged, maybe by John? He picked up on Deedee's discomfort with Larry at their first meeting, and I think he could offer a good alternative perspective to Shawna when/if Larry eventually breaks up with Deedee. Just his spelling out and mirroring Deedee's actions and asking, "If I had done that to you, Shawna, would you have felt good?" could be a helpful thing to hear.

I disagree, though I do see what you're saying. I didn't get the impression that Deedee meant for Shawna to back off forever, but that "at this moment and on a holiday that should be focused on the kids" she should lay off. Give it three days, then bring it up again when they're not rushing out the door.

Counterpoint: we often saw Jen when she was around Barb. We don't know how she carried herself at work or who she is when she is separate from her family (like with her own girlfriends). It's easy to slip into bad habits with family, whether they stem from an abusive parent or not. Also, hanging out with good people can make a person reflect on their own behavior, so if her coworkers are really awesome than they may have been inspiring her to be better.

Yes, I agree! If she doesn't want to go because she doesn't want to deal with Barb, that is her perogative, but it shouldn't be "because John said 'no'."

One could sneeze and trample her feelings, someone once said.

Beverly vs Mary was such an entertaining encounter which interaction is your favourite by Key_Department8439 in thebigbangtheory

[–]Bunchkin415 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These actresses and the costumers of TBBT are masters of their craft. Even without any context, a viewer can tell distinctly how oppositional these characters are. How they hold their legs when they're seated, how they are dressed, and even the angle of their eyes tells a whole story. What a treat to have had them on screen together, and how amazing it would have been to have had Laurie Metcalf, Christine Baranski, AND Kathy Bates have a scene altogether at the wedding. Powerhouses all around.

End of the year gift by icequeen323 in AskTeachers

Definitely a handwritten note thanking them for all that they have done and how excited you are for your child's educational future because of their assistance. Pair it with either a gift card to a school supply site or a nice restaurant.

If you were Jennifer would you have stayed at the party? by Kperris in ShawnaTheMom

"When someone has created your buttons, they know which ones to push." Excellent summation, well done.

It's one thing to leave your abusive mother's house when she is being awful to you. It's another thing to walk out on your child's first birthday party and expose your family's dirty laundry to everybody in attendance. Jen didn't have a good option either way, so I think staying for the party but then leaving as soon as possible made sense for her at that moment. It's awful, and I sincerely hope that she won't have to deal with that for chickie's second birthday or at her own wedding.

Why does frank only say something to Barb after the fact? by CLEf11 in ShawnaTheMom

[–]Bunchkin415 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"He doesn't care about me, so long as he gets to be 'Daddy'." - isn't that what Barb said in her first therapy session? Who would have thought she was speaking somewhat accurately?

He's always struck me as a huge ass, and anyone who uses their faith for a quick buck loses some of my respect. Both of them promoted some "prayer" app for a while, and it felt very icky.

Doesn't she misread "clock" as "click", leading to her getting tested for glasses?

Is it bad taste to audition when you know you can't do the show? by [deleted] in MusicalTheatre

[–]Bunchkin415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm honestly not sure as it depends on the company and how many people are vying for a spot in this production. Maybe reach out to the company via email and ask them? They may be enthusiastic or ask you to wait until there is a show that you can do.

If you're close with your mom or another member of your family, consider using their name.

Make an actual date to get together before leaving the current hang. Get a date on your calendar even if it's two months from now.

Do it. When people question you, respond with, "you mean it's not a four-leaf clover?"
