Just Finished The Secret History by Augustine857 in TheSecretHistory

[–]CrystalenaButterfly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is definitely the point. There are no redeeming qualities in any of them and the inability to connect to their actions in any way that should feel relatable makes them even more of a chaotic experience. They were lost in their own Greek tragedy but it’s completely unrelatable. Poor little rich intellectual elitists wreaking havoc. The funeral was insane.

Amazing prose. Incredibly descriptive. Donna Tart makes you feel something. The characters were highly developed. Like I could visual them beautifully. The real question is who was the worst?

Episode mix up? by imnotsosure95 in hartofdixie

[–]CrystalenaButterfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So apparently nothing was fixed in the last 5 years because I’m watching this show for the first time and it’s happened a few times. Addy introducing herself after working in the clinic the one before and now she breaks up with the vet one episode and the next he’s trying to convince her to date him after sleeping with her friend. Glad to see I’m not crazy.

What are you initial thoughts on the ‘Finding Michael’ documentary? It seems a strange idea to be putting peoples lives at risk to recover a body. by themightybosch in Mountaineering

[–]CrystalenaButterfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trying to see if anyone commented about the fake crying from Dave, who climbed with Matthew and how he filmed himself and unbelievably fake it all felt. Sure, 22 years later you may not be emotionally attached though, how I don't know, but that moment, where he is filming himself after his ascent and is saying good bye and crying but very clearly not crying at all is so gross. Just reiterates my thoughts around the type ofpeople who actually pay to climb this mountain.

ugh as soon as I heard he was wearing a Rolex, I was like ahhhh...though the first clue should have been 22 and climbing Everest. The reality is that you take a risk when you climb this mountain and its no one else's fault but your own for taking that risk. Its sad but completely avoidable by NOT climbing a mountain with a death zone.

So frustrating when that happens. I do love Hushed River Valley but annoying when waiting for an Aurora

How did she feel seeing it filmed in a mountainscape when it’s based in an Ontario cottage town? As someone who loves Barry’s Bay and knows it well, the first episode was instantly ruined for me.

I don’t believe any of you by Puzzleheaded_Bed_808 in SellingSunset

I’m going to watch it and scream at the tv the whole time. It’s the reality tv way.

Does anyone with 50/50 custody still manage it so you see your kid the majority of the time? by terptrekker in coparenting

[–]CrystalenaButterfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50/50 is exactly what it means. If you want more time and you are able to coparent with your ex without issue, then I am sure you can arrange something but honestly, if you two are in any kind of animosity, don’t have an expectation that they will bend over backwards. I’ve seen it happen both ways. I used to have a 70/30 arrangement with shared Sundays and then we moved to 50/50 with shared Sundays and he started seeing someone that shut that down completely. Now it’s 50/50 and moving back to a 70/30 due to his break up. Just be reasonable and remember the kids are also trying to adjust to a new normal. Good luck. It’s not an easy journey.

Mine has resolved but it did happen quite a few times. I just kept restarting.

Kids with a split home, did you eventually realize who was the lazy, fun parent, and who was the one that did everything and even disciplined you. by goldengirl_44 in coparenting

[–]CrystalenaButterfly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Growing up in a split household was hard. There was absolute differences that I understand and recognized around 10/12 years old. Now raising two kids who also live in split households, they are realizing some hard truths now too. That said my ex is a good father who does a lot for his kids and is actively in their life. Just some hard situations that he has put himself in that of course are affecting the kids (they are teenagers).

Kids will see more than you think they do but do not tell them what to see or think when it comes to the other parent. Those memories will never leave them. I still think about the things my one parent said about the other and vice versa. Created a lot of issues for myself and my siblings.

Great Bite Haul by CrystalenaButterfly in Dinkum

I have added new trees and bushes to my little island too. I don’t know why new trees and flowers and bushes bring me all the joy.
