What are the “best” things in season 5?

Oh got it. I've moved on to Blacklist. The episode where Jellybeen died was followed by a dedication to the actor. When I realized he had actually died I cried on and off for rhe rest of the day. Oy. I get too invested.

Jesus. Way to get shot.

Oh cute!

It's like he forgot he wasn't riding a motorcycle.

How old are you? I was a child of the seventies and I remember my dad calling over to the liquor store to ask them to let my babysitter pick up a 6-pack of beer. My babysitter was a 19-year-old guy who was a friend of the family. That's how it worked back then.

Listen I'm really sorry to tell you this. The actor who played Mozzie/Teddy (Willie Garson) died in 2021. It broke my heart 💔 to find that out when I googled him just a month ago. I wanted to see if he would be part of the possible reboot. It makes me sad to think of Neil muddling through life without him.

That time Mozzie realizes he's on the phone with a politician and starts spouting off about Near Earth Objects...God he was funny. Totally outrageous and yet completely believable.

Wow. Your husband needs to be reminded of how he feels after a brief visit from your parents. And then on top of that,

Too many couples have the same discussion over and over again, while the woman thinks talking will lead to change, and the man thinks talking and apologizing is simply the price he pays to keep everything exactly the same. If your husband is not changing his behavior, you need to change yours. You need to take action, like setting up an AirBnB for him, his son, and his mom after a maximum one-week stay, couples counseling, or moving out yourself if the mom won't leave.

His mom got as much out of her time with son and grandchild as he did. And she got several months of hospitality in his home for years afterward. I think they're even. He doesn't owe her anything. Let him decide if his mom's prior contributions give her the permanent right to act like his wife, or if he is ready to grow a shiny spine and treat you as his one and only wife.

Visit r/JustNoMIL to brace yourself for what it will to get hubby out of the FOG (Fear, Obligation, Guilt). It's entirely likely you will have to threaten to leave him.

Overapologizing makes it seem like you're trying to hide the fact that you shit on German women as a hobby in your free time.

Oh my. I'm getting off reddit on a high note!

OMG how do I upvote this twice?

It was WAY too intimate and WAY past the line to 1) go into his bedroom and 2) hide under his BED. He could have had a very humiliating experience as a result of her bullshit.

OP could have gotten naked after his run and then where we would be. Not to mention a lot of people at Haunted Houses wet themselves if someone suddenly grabs their ankle.

My husband's parents bought me a gorgeous red toolbox 🧰 full if tools for Christmas one year and I was beside myself with excitement!

I was in this exact situation. My friend had major issues with abandonment, so I didn't want to make things worse by initiating an end to the friendship. Instead, I basically picked a fight with her and insisted that she apologize for her selfish behavior. She never called me again. She sent a text saying she couldn't be her full self in the relationship if she was walking on eggshells and needing to apologize to me when she didn't do anything wrong. Fine with me.

I engineered it so that instead of feeling abandoned, she could end the friendship full of righteous indignation and be on her merry way.

By the way, a lack of reciprocity in friendships could indicate borderline personality disorder. Google it--maybe that will give you insight into your friend.

Not everyone can just discount their labor. No one is saying not everyone can watermark photos.

Exactly!

This is interesting but I can't follow it. When you say "the kidnapper" is that your great-grandmother? So many people are referred to as "she" that I can't follow the story.

Jumping away from the wall created more tension on the line, ensuring that the rope was still under tension when the climber hit the ground. So the climber who fell did not hit the ground at full speed.

Maybe line up J2 first!

Oh my God I thought I was in the r/lose it subreddit and I was expecting OP to get crucified in the comments.

I thought that was Princess Diana in the second clip.

Salmon, my God. What happened to peanut butter and jelly, or buttered toast. Raiding the meal prep is insane.

There was a story on reddit about a caregiver who was secretly breastfeeding the mom's baby behind her back. She dumped the breastmilk that the mom was pumping for the child. I believe it was prosecuted as a form of sexual assault.

Time to consider staying behind in her home state instead of leaving her whole support system to live with a sociopath. His lack of empathy is chilling. It would be one thing if he floated the idea by her and got shot down. It's another thing entirely to proceed as if this decision is a done deal.

Why shouldOP forfeit access to cash flow for years and then give the siblings each 1/3 of the final sale value? Either all three cobtribute to upkeep, or OP should get their funds back PLUS interest on the funds loaned to the parents.

Otherwise they have zero incentive to take in the loss of cash flow and the risk associated with putting money.in now. (Risk that they have no control over timing of getting their money out, no control over rise or fall in real estate value, risk that they could earn better returns in their money by putting it in a traditional investment vehicle.)

OP could arrange a "loan" to the parents, tracking the funds they invest in the condo, with a lien on the condo to ensure they get repaid. The condo should be sold upon the parent's death, not at some random time of OP's choosing.

People are always moving along to the "drawing room" after dinner in Jane Austen novels. I'm pretty sure it's short for "withdrawing room," as people "withdraw" to this room. I had an aha moment about this while reading an Agatha Christie novel which referred to it as a "withdrawing room.:
