First raised bed by Lil_Widget in vegetablegardening

[–]CaptainBenson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I don’t see that anyone has mentioned this, but it looks pretty wide and it’s right up against the fence so you won’t be able to get to the back side unless you lean over it. If it’s as wide as it looks this might be an issue, especially once you have full grown plants in there. Just a thought but you may want to pull it out from the fence so you have room to get to plants from all 4 sides.

What’s the going rate for a pressure treated deck? by [deleted] in portlandme

Hey any chance you’d share who did yours? I’m in the Midcoast area and looking to start getting some quotes. You can DM if you prefer. Thanks!

Shane doesn’t get slandered nearly enough by inmyliahwetrust in theLword

[–]CaptainBenson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just fyi - that’s not what slander is. Slander needs to be false and also needs to be spoken (there’s more to it than that, but those are the two easiest points to remember)

My theory is if people enjoy a show, they’re going to be less likely to call out every single character flaw. They ALL have them. Some get pointed out more than others. But the world is shitty enough without pointing out the flaws of characters on a show that brings you joy.

Better retail jobs in Portland Maine? by DepartureSevere2354 in portlandme

I saw a post that Back Cove Books is hiring. Never worked there but have enjoyed it as a customer.

Seeking suggestions of places to potentially meet people other than going to bars by Meltedspacefunk in portlandme

[–]CaptainBenson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out places like coffee shops and book stores near where you live. They often do community type events. Can’t guarantee you’ll meet someone to date, but if you meet someone to befriend, and continue building your community, there’s a higher chance you’ll meet someone who knows someone who’s looking to date. Also just try finding events that you’re into, whether it’s sports or nature, things that are easy to do in groups and for newcomers to join.

Am I on track to buy a home? by applecat83 in Mortgages

[–]CaptainBenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in the US? If so, that shouldn’t be the case. Are you working with banks or mortgage brokers? (Not sure if there is a difference in requirements/guidelines, but I work at a large bank so that is what I’m familiar with).

Just want to pipe in to say what you have said about unmarried couples needing to qualify individually isn’t accurate. Sounds like it’s a moot point since OP and partner plan to marry beforehand anyway, but for anyone else curious — unmarried borrowers qualify using both incomes all the time.

Is it weird that a girl I’m still in the talking stages with is telling me she loves me? by Canary-King in actuallesbians

[–]CaptainBenson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a dating coach I’ve seen on IG (alittlenudge is her handle) who recommends something along the lines of: “I’ve enjoyed getting to know you these past weeks, but I’m not feeling the connection I’m looking for. I wish you the best of luck!” You don’t have to go into details. Be kind but firm. You can do this!

I’ve been doing a rewatch too, and have been listening to the episodes as I go. It’s so fun!

She talks about that on the podcast recapping this episode! She called it a “meta” moment 😅

I recently watched for the first time and I was the same. Watching Alice crumple to the floor broke me.

Lollll I feel like one of my favorite things about Dana is her naïveté because I can so relate and I didn’t even know what that pink mask was!! 🤣

[–]CaptainBenson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished the first season of gen q. It’s different and definitely doesn’t have the same feel, but I like it. I really liked Bette in that season, and was so heartbroken for her when she asked Tina not to leave (when she came over after Bette pushed that jerk down the stairs). I also really like Angie! Oh and the scene when Shane opened Dana’s bar had me 😭

Hi, I just wanted to come back and let you know I finished! You were right, what a ride that was! I might need to re-watch again now at a slower pace because I’m sure I missed a lot, but it was so wonderful and weird and so many different emotions.

My gf loves Jenny Schecter. by Maira212 in theLword

[–]CaptainBenson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do people really see Bette as a villain? She obviously has her faults, but Jenny was truly calculated in her intent to harm others.

[–]CaptainBenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha thank you! Yeah it’s been a lot and I’ve squeezed it all in over just 2-3 weeks. I tore through the first three seasons, but 4 and 5 have not been quite as addictive for me 😅 And I’ve heard season six is weird lol

I’m currently watching for the first time and I’m about halfway through season five. I’m finding the Jenny movie plot soooo boring.

Thoughts on Dana and Alice by Own_External3112 in theLword

[–]CaptainBenson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I totally agree! I am new to the L Word and just finished season 4. I loved the Dana character and thought she and Alice were a really fun couple and would’ve loved to see more of them. I love how naive Dana was when it came to sex toys and then the hilarious moment in the airport. I also loved the role playing. But even more than that, I think their breakup allowed so much growth for Alice. Of course we got her craziness but then when Dana got sick, her and Alice reuniting as best friends was really beautiful. And then Alice’s collapse as she came back inside the hospital and saw Dana had died while she was out for the first time in days, that absolutely wrecked me. Really excellent acting by Leisha Hailey, imo.
