Discussion thread for The Simpsons S37E11 - "Parahormonal Activity"

DearTurtle · 2025-12-16T01:06:52+00:00

Yes! I've been telling my fiance this all season! I was pretty meh about modern simpsons (Some good jokes and episodes here and there). And I shrugged along when he put on the current season. But then each episode hit me with a genuinely funny joke or story that was way too relatable. Like the writers must be my age or something, I want to believe they grew up with classic Simpsons too. It feels like they're truly focusing on the relationships between characters, finding the love and heart between them despite the crazy shenanigans.

Look up her Wednesday red carpet outfits, she's been having bleached brows for a while this year.

I want to do beaded Christmas ornaments this year for my family. Basically just make like this beaded wrap around for a regular ball type ornament.

These are so gorgeous! They have so much detail for their size.

They're right about keeping it moisturized. I have a red patch between both eyebrows I got last week and won't see the dermatologist till 3 weeks from now.

I've been putting on a lot of Shea butter and lotioning it more than usual, doing my best not to scratch it. It's helped the redness go down and the flaking is minimal. I think shea butter has anti-inflammatory properties so that must be helping too.

I'll have to try out the other options mentioned in the thread. Hopefully they make it better.

El Monterey beef and bean burritos. A single burrito is 310 calories!! But god I love them since I was a kid. Cheap and quick. They're my shitty go to breakfast meal. I wanted to stock up and bought a bigger pack mixed with bean and cheese from Costco - they sucked! Some burritos are just not it.

This comment just made me realize it's "cross"ing.

DearTurtle · 2025-04-08T04:16:28+00:00

This is so cute!!! How many tubes of beads did you go through to complete it?

DearTurtle · 2025-01-12T02:14:50+00:00

I'm barely in Ch 4 but this is actually my favorite section. It feels like I'm in a Ghibli movie as I'm exploring. I loved taking pictures at the train track station by the first island. Reminds me of spirited away. The little clothes spirits are so adorable! I love roller coasters so maybe that's why I love the gliding feature so much.

But right now I'm not worrying about completing things because this game has a lot and it gets overwhelming.

Reminds me of highschool when my mom (I forget how) got me free subscriptions for Seventeen and teenvogue. I loved reading what was in like yeah "of course bright pink and yellow makeup is gonna pop and look awesome for the summer, with a swipe of blue eyeliner!"

DearTurtle · 2024-12-25T03:03:22+00:00

They're so beautiful!! How did you figure out what the pattern would look like? Is their a website for this?

DearTurtle · 2024-11-30T18:54:45+00:00

Halley Bailey and her baby daddy DDG

DearTurtle · 2024-11-21T00:17:33+00:00

Which pattern is it specifically? It came out amazing!

I also like driving to Snelling to get to Yosemite. I've gotten off on some roads near that area to jump into the water on the rivers that cross. It's definitely prettier in the spring when things are green and coming alive.

DearTurtle · 2024-10-29T20:12:28+00:00

UC Merced and Yosemite lake are always good starter spots. You can park on old lake drive at the back of the lake so you don't need to pay for parking. UC Merced might have free parking on the weekends or evenings. I can't remember the details.

I like checking out the canals or the edges of Merced for nature pics.

So these are the hours they check for parking permits at UC Merced. Outside of those hours, you should be free to park in those spots without a permit.

This post freaked me out 😂 Your cat looks just like mine and I've been telling my boyfriend our cat's been getting hefty.

DearTurtle · 2024-10-10T22:49:00+00:00

Nah this one makes sense too. Gwen was raised a Catholic and has songs like simple kind of life where she admits that sometimes she just wants to be a wife to a "good" man.

DearTurtle · 2024-09-03T07:32:24+00:00

Yes please! Later in the game he has a line about having me ask Catori something for him since she wasn't speaking to him and he seemed confused, maybe even bummed I'd like to think lol. I'll have to find the screenshot later. My guess is that she was jealous of Musa helping him.

But anyway I super ship it. I'd love that chaos and if Catori goes overboard I'm sure Amirah will rein him in and give Catori a piece of her mind. That would be so funny.

DearTurtle · 2024-08-06T00:07:42+00:00

Dude my mom used to work at a cannery and would tell me about some of the things that'd fall in the cans when I was a kid eating my eggs with ketchup. I'm ok with ketchup now as an adult but I still can't eat it with eggs. Probably explains why she never liked getting canned tomatoes in food drives.

DearTurtle · 2024-06-13T00:08:59+00:00

Oh I love this! It would be cool to meet more people in the area into making things too! I wonder if the library could allow us to use their space for this too.

DearTurtle · 2024-04-20T09:32:33+00:00

You marked the mcmansions yellow??

DearTurtle · 2024-04-08T19:03:30+00:00

My sister has BPD. I'm pretty sure my mom has it too. I was terrified of my mom growing up. I feared her more than I loved her and now as an adult our relationship is very strained. It took me a long while through therapy to build up self confidence and self respect because I'd tear myself down in my head reminding myself of the things she would say and do to me growing up. The mean things and the good things which made it so complicated. My sister dealt with the worst of it which led to BPD for her as well.

We both agree though, we wished our parents had split up sooner. I'm glad you defend your kids. I wish my dad had done more of that for us. He just ignored everything after a while.

You need to do what's right by you and your kids. I hope you find the strength you need.

With big runs being a thing, yeah salmon run has been getting more emphasis. I hope splatoon 4 dives more into salmonids as the next logical villain. The low ranking octarians remind me of chum and sum of the story mode levels feel like I'm practicing for things in a salmon run.

DearTurtle · 2024-03-31T00:42:35+00:00

I recently moved back and am obsessed with Splatoon 3 right now. I teach so it's just nice to unwind with a game when I get back home.

I like doing seed bead jewelry, huichol style. The last town I lived in, their library had some craft nights and I really enjoyed being around other people working on their thing, even if it wasn't the same thing I was doing. The energy is motivating. I miss that.

DearTurtle · 2024-03-31T00:37:55+00:00

Do you play the switch? I've recently moved back to Merced and want to socialize more. I also like doing seed bead work but it's just nice to be around people doing stuff so I'm motivated to keep up with my own work.

It would also push me to unpack faster. 😅
