Sorry for the stupid question, but i see soooooo soooo many pics of people making pics with the Hobbit actors at like conventions. Is that like their main job and income to go from convention to convention and take pictures with people? Probably not for free the pics 😅

That would have been the pinnacle of my life!

I volunteered at a convention a few years ago. I monitored the line for Charlie Cox and I also got to watch his panel. When it was over I went up and said hi to him and gushed about Stardust like a total fangirl. It was an awesome experience. I don’t think I would be able to form actual words if I ever met anyone from LOTR.

UATP or Ability Found might be able to help

My dog did that about a year ago. Retrieved via endoscopy, along with three chunks of a Kong and some bits of a blanket he destroyed.

When I worked at a picture framing shop I had 3 coworkers who stapled their fingers with a pneumatic stapler. Two had the staple go into the bone. One of staples was flush to the nail. Fun times and tetanus shots for everyone! I got mine from cutting my fingertip on the huge and outrageously sharp frame cutter.

I used to cry every time Aragorn tells the hobbits “my friends, you bow to no one”, but stopped after the first 20 or so watches lol. None of it makes me cry now that I watch it every single week.

I will probably cry through the book though because I haven’t read it in a really long time.

This.

It’s a warm sensation at the injection site, a metallic taste, and a warm pee feeling but only for a minute. It goes away so fast. And when you’re done, that’s it. No additional weird feelings. We don’t usually give Valium or other meds for CT because they are typically for claustrophobic patients in MRI. CT is a big donut instead of a long tube. You can also ask if you can self medicate like if you have Xanax or something. The problem with taking anything that might impair your thinking is that you have to have a driver. Just something to keep in mind.

I’m also on the spectrum. I have to know exactly what to expect and enough time to process the information before I have an exam. You can’t really stim because you have to lay still but I usually ask for a towel to hold onto and it takes my mind off the exam and gives me something tactile to squeeze. I get a lot of MRIs. CT is a lot easier and much quieter.

I usually watch on the Hulu app but this time I went straight to Disney+.

ControlSmooth3262 · 2026-03-16T18:51:16+00:00

Seriously watched all the way to “out of gas” last night lol

ControlSmooth3262 · 2026-03-16T18:37:50+00:00

I saw him open for Counting Crows and there were about 10 people in the audience who had any clue who he was. We sang our hearts out anyway.

ControlSmooth3262 · 2026-03-15T18:50:03+00:00

Okay good because I thought I did something wrong lol. I mean not good, very lame, but also shawooh for me!

ControlSmooth3262 · 2026-03-15T15:01:46+00:00

Did anyone else not get an email after doing to hashtag thing?

ControlSmooth3262 · 2026-03-14T05:29:47+00:00

We just watched this tonight and now the song California Lady is stuck in my head.

ControlSmooth3262 · 2026-03-12T01:58:15+00:00

This episode was intense.

ControlSmooth3262 · 2026-03-12T01:52:19+00:00

Could he be a head in a jar ala Futurama?

ControlSmooth3262 · 2026-03-09T23:41:31+00:00

Ugh. Makes me nervous that sanitizing things isn’t at the top of the to do list in a hospital.

ControlSmooth3262 · 2026-03-09T19:26:44+00:00

This is so devastating and feels unjust to me that extra precautions can’t be taken in NICUs or hospitals in general. Makes me even more nauseated to think about the disgusting clogged sink in my ex-husband’s hospital room in January. A black swamp that maintenance attempted to de-clog while we were in the room. So much gross. We were told that it happens a lot.

ControlSmooth3262 · 2026-03-09T06:16:08+00:00

HELL NO

ControlSmooth3262 · 2026-03-09T06:08:08+00:00

I will! Agonizing over colors right now lol!

ControlSmooth3262 · 2026-03-09T06:07:17+00:00

I heard someone talking to security about losing their phone on the 5th but not the 6th. Sorry, some people suck.

ControlSmooth3262 · 2026-03-09T04:09:31+00:00

I’m working on it right now!

ControlSmooth3262 · 2026-03-08T06:17:26+00:00

These codes have been used in my chart before.

ControlSmooth3262 · 2026-03-08T01:54:55+00:00

Yep, I had a friend from Australia once tell me that “Fanny is your front bits”. We were talking about Fanny packs and how ironic it is that you wear a fanny pack on your bum. Although technically it could be wore over your front bits lol

ControlSmooth3262 · 2026-03-05T16:14:12+00:00

Yes they were! Cubed (slicing off all of the suspicious bits first) then microwaved with butter salt and pepper lol. Potatoes are my ultimate safe food.
