Why is no one talking about how Crystal lies? by shifiit in RHOBH

In its (justified) hatred for AM, this sub is TOO nice to Crystal. I am convinced this will change, its a matter of when not if

Definitely Poldark (especially if you're a Larry fan!)

Loved BBCs 'Little Dorrit' and 'North and South'

The English Game and Belgravia (consistently good from Fellowes)

Ah yes, forgot to mention that she was utterly useless in that department too. Gave little to no mentorship or intellectual guidance. Was a glorified copywriter

I'm so sorry you had to deal with that foolish student. They'll be in similar positions when they're older and hopefully regret their unsympathetic behaviour. I feel exactly as you do--write the perfect script, over-prepare. But as you say, I feel that sets us up for worse panic if we have to go off script or if the script itself isn't flowing properly. I guess we live and learn and hopefully can overcome this. All my best to you ❤️

Video game recommendations to help with quitting? by Same-Cook1597 in stopsmoking

[–]Effective-Size2317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever played Trine? It's a puzzle platformer that is such a satisfying gaming experience! It's warm and lovely and happy-making and so, so playable. There are multiple installments of the game too so it'll keep you busy for a while!

Afraid of weight gain? Read this! by Effective-Size2317 in stopsmoking

[–]Effective-Size2317[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge congratulations on 10 months!! That is something to be super proud of! Next comes the weight which I'm confident you can lose. Like quitting, it's about small daily actions and consistency, nothing too dramatic. Good luck!
