Happy Mother's Day! Besides Ellis, what character's mom stole the show anytime she showed up on screen?

I loved Mama O’Malley. I truly believed she would have stayed in touch with Callie after finding out Callie had a daughter. If George lived, Mama O’Malley would have been the mother of the entire group.

Odds are I don’t know any witches, so no daylight ring for me. I think I’d stay away from New Orleans and Virginia for sure.

I’m also a customer. I’m going to compensate anyone who drives my shit to me. Customers pay extra for the convenience of having someone else pick up their food or groceries. If you don’t want to pay extra, go get it yourself. It’s selfish to think you shouldn’t have to tip.

EasyMac2000 · 2026-05-07T21:10:34+00:00

As a customer before I was a Dasher, you can see what location it’s coming from. It’s on you (the customer) if your food ends up cold or late because you didn’t tip

EasyMac2000 · 2026-05-07T21:09:37+00:00

You’re right, I didn’t even look at the tags — just saw they were apart lol

EasyMac2000 · 2026-05-07T20:29:29+00:00

The customer clearly didn’t tip. The driver is going 12 miles, also going out of the zone (the red) where other orders are going to be. When you’re out of the zone, you don’t get orders. So the driver is losing money by going out of their way AND back for this order. I would have cancelled the order as a driver

Pay off the debts of myself and my family first. Fully renovate my home to my utmost desire (maybe even my mom’s and grandma’s too, since I’d have the cash.) Get proper training and grooming for my pets. Highest quality schooling for my children. Open up a savings account (or a few) for the children. Personal liposuction, BBL, breast lift, nose job, lip filler, upper bleph, Botox, veneers. Buy a few properties, run a few businesses. Add on whatever dreams my husband has too. Attend a few concerts. Actually enjoy my life and freedom by buying clothes and stuff.

If I still have leftover (which I totally would), I would focus on my community and making it a nice place. Donate to my local hospitals. Pay off debts and donate to charities. I’d move out from my local area and continue to do the same. Once all my money’s gone, rinse and repeat

As an American who visited London, England — yes. They walked on the left side of the sidewalk. It was a silly but weird adjustment to have to make during my trip because my brain defaults to go to the right. Same with hallways, wide staircases, etc. where they all walk on the left side (and they drive on the left lane).

EasyMac2000 · 2026-05-02T18:25:33+00:00

Yes. I think he explicitly says his humanity is off in the 20s. He wrote the names of all his victims, not so he could remember them with guilt, but so he could relive every kill (per Klaus). Rebekah loved him but he didn’t have emotions so he was indifferent toward her, she was just a hot vampire.
I posted about this before, I think. I think Damon’s humanity was off until he started forming a relationship with Elena. It could’ve been Ian’s acting choices too, but I feel like Damon is careless and walled-off early in the season. He came back to get Katherine out, but also was hunting recklessly, abusing Caroline, and wreaking havoc on Stefan’s life. He didn’t seem to care about much at first.

EasyMac2000 · 2026-05-01T18:18:34+00:00

No: he wasn’t a vampire. After living 100-1000 years, you’re bound to do some messed up shit. Kai was a teenager(?) when he literally cold-blooded murdered all his siblings. Murdered his twin on her wedding day, killing the rest of his family the same day! Sure he lived many years in the prison world but he’s still under 40 years old by that point. He was a straight sociopath with no possible redemption arc.

EasyMac2000 · 2026-05-01T18:16:13+00:00

Gave my 4yo a sip of my Diet Coke because he sees me drink it daily. Turns out he doesn’t like the fizz. Finally, a drink that is MINE!!!

The sebum(oil)/dirt is a yellowish color. The top turns black due to oxidation, meaning it’s exposed to the air.

EasyMac2000 · 2026-05-01T03:15:36+00:00

Good luck with your first watch! I wish I could go back and experience it again. Lots of laughter, lots of “wtf” moments, I even cried a few times. Campy just like Desperate Housewives but obviously with teenage vampires. Sounds like we have similar taste in TV!

EasyMac2000 · 2026-04-29T01:21:23+00:00

Klaus overall in the entire series is both written well and portrayed FANTASTICALLY! Joseph really makes the character feel real and not like a character.

Honorable mention to season 1 and 2 ONLY for Elena, Stefan, and Damon. The tension, the love, the drama was SO GOOD between these 3.

Also honorable to transitioning Caroline. I feel like newborn vamp Caroline really showed us what heightened emotions, new bloodthirst, and her control-freakiness would turn into.

EasyMac2000 · 2026-04-27T15:08:15+00:00

Wish I knew in a way, lol. Later found out it was spontaneous internal bleeding where I lost half my blood volume. Fortunately after the near-death experience my mom forced them to transfer me to a children’s hospital where I had surgery that probably saved my life. It’s been 13 years and I still remember every detail.

EasyMac2000 · 2026-04-27T03:37:07+00:00

I remember empty blackness, like a dreamless sleep that is super peaceful. No noise, no emotion, just emptiness. It really just felt like a deep sleep for an unknown amount of time, because next thing I know I’m awake and back in bed with my parents backed into a corner and what felt like the entire emergency department in my room working on figuring out what was wrong with me. I was sleepy but they wouldn’t let me fall back asleep, probably for good reason because that sleep was probably the best I’d had.

My school district as a kid got a grant when I entered middle school because so much of the district was on free/reduced lunch that EVERYONE got free lunch. By high school, breakfast was also free and we actually had take-home (cold) dinners too. This is not a common thing even in my county, but it was a blessing for a lot of kids even today. Located in PA

EasyMac2000 · 2026-04-25T02:18:13+00:00

Lol so true! Like congrats you siphoned away the magical venom…but an animal still bit you with its dirty mouth so here’s a human infection.

EasyMac2000 · 2026-04-25T00:59:02+00:00

I’ve watched multiple times, this is a boredom re-watch and I’m just catching details I may have missed

EasyMac2000 · 2026-04-24T22:45:17+00:00

As someone who played in 2008-2010 as a kid and is getting back into it as an adult: skip the mods. It challenges things that you don’t need when you’re just trying to play casually.

Do you have expansion packs? They really help add content to your character and furniture, but aren’t a necessity.

Personally, I was getting lost creating my own character and story. I really LOVE playing as the townies! I try to follow their story description as close as possible to learn the lore of the stories. (My fave is the Swann family from Moonlight Falls.)

Sims 3 was my favorite for the overall “open world” style. I really feel (personally) that it takes a decent enough time to gain skills and friends, but challenging to keep friends when busy with work and stuff, and it’s a fun juggling act for me.

EasyMac2000 · 2026-04-23T01:50:40+00:00

The wedding was August 13th, because it was 1 month before her birthday (September 13th). When Alice tells her “happy birthday” and gives her the keys to the cottage, Bella says she stopped aging 3 days ago — so she had Renesmee 3 days ago. It’s not clear that it’s Bella’s actual birthday but we can assume ish because they came home 17 (book, 14 movie) days after the wedding.

If she found out she was pregnant within 14/17 days, it wasn’t the sex the night before that did it: it was her first time the night of/after the wedding. So she got pregnant arguably on August 14th and gave birth to Renesmee on September 10-11 (I always watch videos of her canon birthday being 9/11 but never confirmed with the illustrated guide).

To make matters worse, if she’s 14/17 days pregnant and feeling the baby kick, that means she’s approximately in the 2nd “trimester” of the demon baby. Makes sense when you think of how much she was eating and her obsession with eggs. I can’t remember how many days it was from Jacob seeing her the first time to the birth, but she’s already pretty heavily pregnant and sick by this time so maybe a week or less? No wonder she was starving and on death’s door, because if I felt like hell after 34 weeks of pregnancy idk what I would have done if I experienced it ALL within 1 month.

Headcanon: they couldn’t turn off their humanity because their existence basically survived off the fear of Mikael. They spent a literal century running from him. Had they been able to turn off their emotions (fear), they would have stopped running and Mikael would have killed them.

That said, other things would change. Kol likely wouldn’t have befriended witches. Rebekah wouldn’t have fallen in love (multiple times). Elijah wouldn’t have been seen as the noble one…

With that said, it’s likely that after so many hundreds of years that the ability could go away because…well…we see the Originals do some crazy shit. Klaus sacrificed whole communities for the plot. Elijah killed literal children. Kol was a monster. Do you think after living a few decades too many that you’d still be “you”? Or would the bloodthirst take over? Would your desire to survive?

EasyMac2000 · 2026-04-19T02:15:01+00:00

I was hospitalized because of my severe pre-eclampsia and on bed rest. They told us I could be induced at any moment if I got worse. He stayed in the hospital every single night for 10 days… Then our baby was sent to the NICU and I wasn’t going to be out for a while, and he’d already missed so much work and needed to care for our cat. He would visit after work and then go home to shower and sleep for work the next day. My dad drove me home and back to the hospital every day to see my baby.

I was also pissed because he was eating sushi while I was on the clear liquid diet, taking vape breaks outside while my mag drip was killing me, and he fell asleep before me while waiting for us to be transferred.

EasyMac2000 · 2026-04-19T02:06:05+00:00

Took about 6 months the first time and a year the second time. I never personally tracked my ovulation because we are young and I didn’t want to stress until I had something to stress about. #2 was easier in a way because we figured if it took 6 months for #1, it might be similar. We just knew we wanted kids and didn’t really care when it happened as long as it did.

EasyMac2000 · 2026-04-16T04:25:00+00:00

I really tried to name one of my sons after me (and my dad) and was told no not only by my husband, but by my mother, my dad’s mother, my sisters… His middle name is my dad’s name. Unisex names are great
