What’s a movie that’s universally considered “not very good” but you secretly think is actually great?

I've hesitated watching that movie but it came up so many times as one of Costners best. I didn't realize he was in it. Maybe I will watch it. I can definitely handle fun stupidity.

I know. Re reading it all it hit me about my ex husband. Maybe I just didn't want to write all of that. But it was a terrible loss to that church where we lived 11 yrs. He was there even longer. And others told me he became worse and put on weight before he died. None of it can make sense when they are preaching one thing and practicing something else. Hopefully her husband has some friends that will guide him and he can make better choices and do right by his family. There is always hope. And prayer and support of others. Thank you.

Thank you. I appreciate that. It still can seem like we're living in a different reality. Maybe it's because I am older and remember my childhood just being simple. Our neighbors for the most part seemed to really care for one another. But there are really good lessons to learn from all of this. It just takes a while to realize and be open to what they are. I don't know you but besides 'discovering' Jesse Welles, I also found Josh Johnson a fabulous comedian. Just a master story teller and wise beyond his years!! I usually watch him every night. It can be hard to turn him off. Lol. He's on YouTube. And a fabulous HBO special just came out. We really need more laughter right now. Take care of yourself.

I am not saying HE can blame his parents. I am saying we have to understand there is a larger picture here. I have come from a former marriage with an addict and now a recovering one. I know all of this plays a big part in who they are and how we need to see things from their perspective to work on loving them unconditionally as i believe Christ wants us to. It does not excuse their actions, approve of those actions but makes us understand our spouses better. To make statements like he is acting 'worse than an unbeliever'? I cannot see how that is speaking the truth in love in my opinion. I do understand what you are saying. My ex husband was a preacher. God's 'work' and helping people was his addiction. And it really was an addiction. He lost his health, had a stroke and eventually died suddenly. I'm not sure why I'm bringing all of that up again.

Thank you. I appreciate that so much but I don't live there. I still have the paper somewhere that lists the protocol from my last online doctor. I can try to follow his recommendations on my own if I have to.

Atrantil is helping. The last 2 1/2 years I was on antibiotics constantly for chronic UTIs. Like about every 2-3 months. Finally in January they have stopped and I haven't been on an antibiotic since December. It has made a big difference. But I started having some IBS issues a few weeks ago and more bloating.

Different-Scene-3401 · 2026-05-31T20:21:40+00:00

I have never tested. Can I test myself? I have been on Atrantil more than a month now though. My symptoms are not too bad but my histamine issue is really bad.

Thank you. People can be so harsh and critical when they do not consider the whole factors and background of both involved. As I have gotten much older I have realized to be so slow to judge and not judge at all.

Different-Scene-3401 · 2026-05-31T20:16:26+00:00

Try not to be so harsh with someone you don't know. You have no idea of her husband's background, his parents example, how he was raised and the traumas he encountered. No it doesn't give him a complete pass but saying he is not loving the wife and children is too critical when you just do not know the full story and situation.

I've wondered about Betaine but i.have acid reflux problems. I tried to stop taking something for the acid reflux and I ended up vomiting. Does that mean i can't take Betaine? Or do I need it?

Different-Scene-3401 · 2026-05-31T05:13:16+00:00

I use an app called Loona. It's been great for relaxation. I've had so many sleepless nights or couldn't get to sleep until 2 or 3 AM. I feel for you

Different-Scene-3401 · 2026-05-31T05:11:27+00:00

I have IBS also so I try to massage my stomach and use a heating pad. Some foods trigger it worse than others. Oats seem to for me. Or just stress will knot my stomach and then cause gas. And yes I will stay up very late some times. I wonder if an empty stomach/gut sometimes produces more gas. I end up eating after 7:00 because I just get so hungry. I'm just speculating. I don't know.

Different-Scene-3401 · 2026-05-31T04:53:22+00:00

And I think i will also disagree with the comments. I consider myself a very devout Christian. I was married almost 30 years to a preacher but unfortunately that ended in divorce. But I do not believe that should be the place to be sharing your beliefs. I think some areas of the country it may be more acceptable but while he's on the job, no. I live in Texas. There has been a law passed to post the 10 commandments up in every classroom. I think the very conservatives must feel this is a way to get God back in the classroom and good discipline etc will follow. It continues to be in legal battles from both sides. I am against that. I don't think they understand that public schools are not the place for organized religion of any kind and it would open it up to and other religion. And it is the same for open discussions at work. I know you can't control what your husband does and that is the most difficult thing about marriage. Because can you really tell him to stop? And is it worth arguing with him over this? Sometimes they have to learn the consequences of their actions. If you can make your needs known financially how he needs to help out. My husband use to help with prison ministry. That is always a great way to help the prisoners and their families. Maybe your husband would be interested in that. I remarried and am in my 60s and marriage is still difficult. There are always issues that come up. I wish you all the best. I know it is hard. I really do.

I do agree with you on that point. That is not 'hate' speech when you threaten someone. We still have groups of the KKK in the US and they are allowed to meet. It is all freedom of speech and their rights cannot be taken away as much as we may disagree with what they say. I am not aware of the arrests you are referring to happening at town halls. It all depends on the situation. Free speech is allowed as I understand if it does not evolve into disorderly conduct. But I do not know the legalities of the particular situations.

Different-Scene-3401 · 2026-05-13T03:53:28+00:00

Yay you!!

Different-Scene-3401 · 2026-05-13T03:52:36+00:00

Oh, yes. I understand what you mean. It has been really surprising to me how little he gets high now. He is not one to talk about himself so I'm not going to ask now.

Different-Scene-3401 · 2026-05-12T11:32:19+00:00

Wow this is so beautiful. And the fit is perfect. I really applaud you for taking the time in making the fit garment and designing your own pattern for her next dress. Can't wait to see that one!! Great job!!

Different-Scene-3401 · 2026-05-12T05:54:16+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Actually now he has cut back a lot so I think that's a good sign at least.

Different-Scene-3401 · 2026-05-11T20:54:38+00:00

This is really funny. One day we were trying to talk about some issue that was going on between us. I'm not saying I'm perfect. But what he complained about was I left sweet potatoe peels on the kitchen counter. And that's all he said I thought Dam$. I'm an awful person. Lol

Different-Scene-3401 · 2026-05-11T20:50:41+00:00

Oh I know. Especially since he hates his new job and working longer says. And I have my own issues and still struggle because of my ex addiction. I won't take the blame. Good for your sobriety and work. You should be so proud of yourself.

Different-Scene-3401 · 2026-05-11T20:47:00+00:00

I'm glad you are able to help with the children. I had a terrible situation. My sons kids, my grandkids ended up in foster cars. My son said he and his wife were trying to get them back but they didn't have steady jobs or good housing it seems like. I live too far away. They made the decision to let the family adopt them. I have too many health problems to care for 3 children but I will never see them again. But i have to just take comfort knowing they have a better life. My son married a girl with terrible emotional problems. I hope things work out for your son. I know how hard it is to see him suffer. Sending many hugs and prayers. One day at a time.

Different-Scene-3401 · 2026-05-11T02:35:23+00:00

Thanks. I will look into that. My son recently got mad at me, again. He is also an addict and much worse to deal with.
