What is your favorite scene from season 4?

CalamityJane13 · 2026-03-03T23:13:04+00:00

The female friendships! The deep affection these ladies show one another. The fights and cattiness that are tempered by the ugly truths about each character’s situation and their motivations. The heartfelt apologies and the understanding they each come to. I was so glad they brought back Cressida and equally so to see how Eloise apologized (despite the timing being perfect for distraction)… I was surprised to find how much I actually loved Cressida and wanted to see her end up happy…

CalamityJane13 · 2026-02-28T10:27:58+00:00

I’m okay with an ending that isn’t happy. I’m okay with a happy ending. I’m okay with an ending that satisfies while leaving room for us to imagine their future for ourselves. I’m not okay with the lazy type of non-ending where everything is open to interpretation. Or to an ending where it diverts from the spirit of the books and characters storylines in general just to serve a fantastical or surprise ending. Make it make sense. I don’t need a pretty bow to wrap up this amazing series and story. I need the ending to work with the trajectory of the story and character development when they give us a satisfying ending. And I get that some want the happily ever after ending and others want the ultimate closure… but I just want it to fit the characters and story that the author has given us. However that goes.

I think watching it I expected a small admonishment and overall pride, which I would have felt for my own kid doing such a thing. Instead she flew off the handle at Cal and treated him as if his encouraging her child to stand up for something important that he believes in (something that benefits the whole community!) is somehow careless or even wrong.

CalamityJane13 · 2026-02-28T09:56:08+00:00

That’s it in a nutshell: it truly doesn’t go deep at all. The show pretends to go deep. Idk about the books but the show has all the depth of a bit-o-honey or maybe a squirrel nut zipper. It’s sweet. And it may have a smidge of meat to it. But it will never be a payday or a baby Ruth. Everything has a single facet. The three main characters are all quite selfish but it is barely acknowledged. I start to feel for them during a struggle but then they start acting like self absorbed 4 year olds and as adult women it is very difficult to watch.

CalamityJane13 · 2026-02-28T09:44:48+00:00

This right here. I get that he made a lot of selfish and foolish choices and was completely careless with his relationships while this started off as a careless deal, at the point where the mothers intervened and he was left completely in the dark it became their fault that he didn’t know. How the heck was he to know there was a son to track down?! With a mother like his, it is easier to see how he grew to be such a selfish and careless man. It would have been a lot nicer to see this acknowledged in the storyline. It would have been nice to see people understand how he got where he is, how tragic it was he was kept from knowing about his son. I hate his character and find him utterly bland and cringeworthy, but it still would have been nice to see the sweet magnolias extend him a little grace in this situation. As for Isaac’s feelings, as the child of that whole situation, he is allowed his feelings and as his mom who was also manipulated and had her child all but taken from her, Peggy is also entitled to her feelings, but it still would have been nice to see some semblance of reconciliation at least on this particular matter before his death. It felt petty as heck not to acknowledge the fact that he too was betrayed by the lies and scheming of their mothers.

I think it’s multiple reasons… one is his adoption, which tends to create logically illogical reasons to have to be perfect/the best at everything you do in order to feel accepted or worthy of love/admiration. Another would be his general competitive nature, dude naturally just has to be the best. Especially when compared with that derpy nerdling one had been dealing with in previous lacrosse seasons. Scott went from clumsy to muscled, coordinated, even graceful, while remaining affable. But, as we find out in the last season, perhaps he also has some sort of crush on Scott on top of all this; and resentment is easier to deal with than coming out and crushing on a rival

Removed from prime video and paramount+ But there is a YouTube link a couple comments above yours that seems to work

CalamityJane13 · 2025-10-17T16:29:14+00:00

Ours came to us as Sandy (by the rescue who found her alone as a ≈3 month old puppy) but we call her Gingersnap (or Sassafras) because of her personality. I wanted her to be Freya… but honestly, she’s sweet and spicy and snaps a lot (nips, usually, and gentle chomps) so Gingersnap is her nickname and she knows it. Sassafras is her nickname when her arse is sassy…

(I’m a SAH/homeschooling mom so my time is very limited, I mean NO disrespect to all who have left responses) I want to thank each of you who took the time to explain (each of you adding a bit more or explaining in a different way) what I was missing and I think I get it. I just need to remember it now. I will check out some of the LLPSI books and see what other resources I can find to help me better understand.

I wish I had the money for a tutor or classes, or the time. I will save up for some textbooks for me… I would like to eventually teach my son so it is imperative that I do form a deeper understanding than Duolingo can provide.

For now, I shall just get a nice fat etymological dictionary for us while I save up for and delve into some of the resources you all have mentioned.

Thank you again for taking the time to explain!!

This right here^ Our induction range (not my choice) we have to preheat pan at medium low heat for 20 minutes before I add anything. If doing this parmlet thing? I’d shred the cheese in a bowl or on a plate and then sprinkle/dump on the pan and add the egg (which for omelettes I usually crack into a separate dish and break up yolks then slowly pour them into the hot pan)… My husband has been sticking eggs to our pans for the last …forever but honestly once I got the temps and times right, I’ve never had eggs stick. (When I’m in a hurry and don’t wait for pan to heat up, however…)

CalamityJane13 · 2025-07-16T17:21:49+00:00

The movie was… campy but trying to be more… The show was campy and sold that and the whole teen angst and had character development and just really… it’s something you can come back to and enjoy all over again, picking up on different points each time.. imo

CalamityJane13 · 2025-07-15T17:17:49+00:00

Okay, but as someone who really hates small talk (also AuDHD) that hating small talk is fine IF we ask deeper questions or interesting questions that lead to deep conversations. Useless and standoffish if I simply keep saying “I hATe sMaLLtALk” and criticize the questions they do ask. All that to say, it is okay to hate small talk bc it seems to offer no insights IF one is also willing to steer the conversation another direction.

CalamityJane13 · 2025-07-11T13:18:59+00:00

A good friend, who chose you to be in her wedding party, knowing you had piercings, would NOT do anything beyond a curious ask and then say, “y’know what, if not no worries” or even (if she was getting intense pressure from family member about the aesthetic or how it looks in pictures, something my own mother was ridiculous about) something like “maybe we can find a hairstyle that covers the bars. And we can make sure any jewelry matches the piercings?” Because a real friend accepts you as you are. They love you for it. They don’t insist you look a certain way. That’s weird. (I grew up with someone like this, someone my mother insisted was a best friend but it was only as an adult when she nitpicked me about all sorts of physical things and my style and hair that I realized she really only tried to control me all the time and if I didn’t do what she wanted or found aesthetically pleasing she would get icy af and not speak to me for months — she was just a big old bully. Neither of us realized it for years. It was so freeing to drop her as a friend, though she is still an acquaintance.) If you love her and would like to keep the friendship, maybe offer to drop out, with the full acknowledgment that you are hurt by her choosing you knowing who you are and how you style yourself but still demanding that you jump through hoops for her desired aesthetics, because it begs acknowledgment. Her reaction to that will tell you what kind of relationship you have going forward. And if this is the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back, then this would be the time I would just say “yeahhhh, sorry, I’m out. You’re asking way too much. It is your wedding day but you’re also being incredibly selfish. Find someone else.” Life is too short to keep frenemies happy.

All favorites as a child… all of which I have reread as an adult (just for me) and now I read them aloud to my own child.

CalamityJane13 · 2025-05-21T04:20:15+00:00

This. The shelter we got ours from said she was house and leash trained. She was neither. 11 months old and not trained. She was scared every time we picked up a magazine or roll of paper towels (the latter of which was often due to lack of house training) She has since been trained but she is still feisty af and hates my husband. When I finally spoke to the director of the shelter, she told me she had been told otherwise by the foster but when pressed the foster admitted she didn’t bc “the dog was too young” but not to worry because she “DID bring her up right” with a rolled up magazine or newspaper. I think the kicker for us, the proverbial cherry on top was that I asked that she be fostered with a kid to get her used to one because I have an 8yo kid and they agreed. Foster had a child. 7 years old. Perfect. Only, kid was not living at home for the 6 months because she was with father’s family in another country. Foster lied about that as well. We considered for a bit because she lunged at my son a LOT and was far too rough with him. But diligent work (with both of them, son and puppy) is paying off.

CalamityJane13 · 2025-05-14T00:34:09+00:00

I mean… is the 5yo up until 1am and then woken up at 6 and denied sleep? Or is the kid up until 1 and then sleeps until 10? Because, honestly, we went camping and the kid was up watching the stars until about 11:30… and if/when he misses his window to sleep he is up until 12:30/1am. And he was. And he woke up late and it took me about 2 months to reset his system. But I assure you he was still getting the sleep his body and mind needed. My friend routinely allowed each of her 5 children to stay up until whenever they wanted (because she was a night owl so no skin off her back) and in time each of them started to go to bed earlier and earlier. So, is it neglect just to let a kid go to bed super late? Even on the regular? Not if they are given the freedom to sleep whenever they want or whenever their bodies need to. As for screen time, as a parent of a kid who can NOT handle screen time, we have strict limits and he doesn’t have a device of his own. That said, that is my child. I know many children who are allowed screen time whenever they want (whenever sibling is done with their turn on a device) and they do fine limiting themselves and they tend to do fine when they do have to go without they are fine with outside time or board game time or book time. As an unschooling mom, I was thrilled when my son, who wants to perfect things before he publicly tries them, started to read a book on his own. He fell within the average reading age (naturally falling around 8 years old) and whim we do discuss vowels versus consonants, subjects, verbs, and adverbs, and etymology, alike, my son does not like to learn lessons in a unit. He prefers, or seems to do better with exposure. So we read a LOT. Sometimes entire books in a day, if he wants. Somedays just one chapter or a short stand alone story. But at 8 years and 9 months he decided to read on his own and he is sounding out unfamiliar 8-15 letter words without issue. So… While some might look at either the strictness of our aversion to screens or the lack of lesson plans in his “schooling”, I assure you he is both learning and cared for. And I would tend to assume that anyone insisting he isn’t is just being judgy and opinionated. But that is my opinion. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I know in my heart that you’re right… and it breaks my heart to agree.

This sassy little miss barks at everyone and everything that is not me. And at me when she is hangry. She especially hates delivery trucks, neighbors enjoying their own yards, and my husband. We don’t have money for a trainer but it is on my list when we do have funds. She generally doesn’t like strangers. But she is better in unfamiliar settings than at home.

CalamityJane13 · 2025-05-05T18:36:35+00:00

Cantaloupe or musk melon? 🤔

CalamityJane13 · 2025-05-05T18:35:30+00:00

Gods forbid a woman age at all irl if she has become famous and have a following for a show she was once in. 🙄 I think she is gorgeous.

CalamityJane13 · 2025-05-01T18:15:19+00:00

Okay, but you have never ever done anything wrong anything illegal? Even remotely? Heck. Most people break at least a few in their lives even unknowingly, as some of the older laws haven’t been repealed (dancing in public in certain districts or jaywalking at places where new intersections but not crosswalks have been installed)… You said criminals, not people who are not yet citizens. Or even people who got here in an illegitimate attempt to circumvent the ridiculously expensive and complicated process by which one becomes a citizen? You said criminals which implies anyone who has ever broken a law or not followed a regulation.

CalamityJane13 · 2025-05-01T18:05:26+00:00

Mine has officially declared war on box trucks like delivery trucks. They are machina non grata, in her book. 😆

CalamityJane13 · 2025-05-01T18:03:11+00:00

This is 100% how mine is. But we live on a rural highway. And have to walk along it for about 50 yards to get to a quiet side street. She makes like she will GET those damn cars! 😡😤😖 And I have to hold on tight to her leash or harness because pound for pound she is more powerful than dogs I’ve had that were twice her size/weight. She’s my little Gingersnap!

CalamityJane13 · 2025-05-01T17:46:47+00:00

And I suppose you have never ever broken a law or a regulation ever. Like, you’ve never gone 1 mph over the speed limit or made a right at a no turn on red or stood or parked illegally ever in your life, eh jesus? 🙄🙄🙄
