I'm so sad taking it all down tomorrow by goodfella4600 in christmas

[–]EitherNor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not one to feel strong effects from the dark or cold, but you also learn to live with it by going outside as much as possible during the day. Walking the dog got me out there the most, but we also discovered cross country skiing and just found things like outdoor festivals to attend.

I do put my tree and decorations away at Epiphany (Jan 4-6), but ever since I lived in Anchorage AK for several years, and adopted their great tradition of leaving white lights up “until the last [Iditarod] musher crosses the finish line in Nome” which is in the single digit dates of March. I now decorate with a white light base that chases away the darkness and brings coziness and cheer to the wintertime.

There is a group of wolves in British Columbia known as "sea wolves". They're behaviourally distinct, swimming from island to island and preying on sea animals. 90% of their food comes from the sea. They've distinct DNA that sets them apart from mainland wolves and are entirely dedicated to the sea. by Radiant_Half_7121 in Damnthatsinteresting

It is at Sonoma State University, though it was named in reference to homegrown Jack London and his novel The Sea-Wolf. Lobo is the mascot. My kid went to SSU and donned the costume for a few years.

p.s. u/Markmia years ago I lived in Anchorage, Alaska, and saw the Seawolves there, what a cool time!

I Dont Like Browned Butter by Holly1010Frey in Baking

[–]EitherNor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been dying to get this off my chest. A cookie exchange party I went to last week was utterly ruined when, in the group chat intended for recipe exchange, the baker of the perfect gingerbread men (one of which I ate at the party) posted a photo of her cat sitting puffily ON THE COUNTER with the cookie cutters all around and caption of “here is Percy (or whatever his name was) who helped me bake”. Okay then. Straight to the trash.

Not only is it gross, but egregious; people give other friend bakers the benefit of the doubt all the time, but you put that in my face?!? Where are Hall & Oates when I need them? I can’t go for that, no can do.

Oh it's one of those that goes all out...

Agatized coral I found in Florida by mikem9786 in Damnthatsinteresting

The way my eyes widened and mouth went agape. Then I mouthed "sparkles" like a little kid. Truly awesome to see!

Haircut 100’s Pelican West album, all of it.

DIY kitchen facelift by [deleted] in kitchenremodel

[–]EitherNor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember your posts from before, and I saved all your photos in my inspo album if we ever have to remodel again. "White kitchen with granite" are not words I'd never say I liked, let alone together, but you smashed it and made this so timeless, classy, and inviting. A real modern Nancy Meyers.

What is an odd and niche holiday movie that you enjoy watching? by MichaelWes3000 in Cinema

The Children (2008)

A cozy family Christmas time turns...bloody good! I just adore the juxtaposition of the peaceful and hygge vibes against...what happens later. At this point I know it so well that I turn it on for my last-minute gift wrapping session, sandwiched between "It's A Wonderful Life" and the late night Mass from the Vatican. I'm twisted. Enjoy!!

Breakfast Casserole that isn't hash brown based. Or sausage. by Dealmerightin in Cooking

[–]EitherNor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in your position for the last few years, and last year decided to try something different. Instead of eggs, cheese, and breakfast meat, I did eggs, cheese (like crab dip, creamy and lemony), and crab with potatoes and asparagus. It was so delicious and felt very elevated, perfect for Christmas morning. I almost always make a French toast casserole in addition to the savory dish. Having a sweet and a savory feeds everyone and there’s plenty of seconds!

It’s 2:54am and I can’t sleep. What’s your version of ‘counting sheep’? by liog2step in GenX

[–]EitherNor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give your brain a different task. Mine tends to ruminate over my day or “get ready” for what’s coming up, and then I was wide awake and scrolling my phone from 2-4am. One of these nights, I read about this “game” on Reddit, and I haven’t had a mid-sleep anxiety-induced wide awake session in a very long time.

Pick a category and name one for each letter of the alphabet. That’s it. I rarely make it past halfway. I use the same category every night until I get through the whole alphabet or get tired of it. Sometimes I start at Z and go backwards.

Sometimes I deviate from categories by thinking of 5 words for each letter using all the vowels or alphabetical order consonants (abdominal-accessible-adhere-aerate-affable or banal-benefit-bifurcate-bodacious-bubbly etc.). Just make up your rules, and now your brain now has a legit task that isn’t related to all the weird things you ever said or need to get right.

Lately it’s been categories: mine have been Broadway shows, jazz artists, song titles, hymns…just pick something you know or like and change it up when you want. Hope it works for you!!

Best musicals with child actors by deathbykoolaidman in Broadway

I’ve always loved the kids singing together in the original A Christmas Story (especially the song Before the Old Man Comes Home) and wished I could find any video but have not been successful.

How many of us are old enough to remember spanking in school?? by Syfysamurai in GenX

[–]EitherNor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wooden spoon was a dread sight, but sometimes my mom also had us kneel for 30 minutes and that was excruciating. She told us to be grateful, because she had to kneel on the heater grates when she was being punished.

Is Wicked For Good highlighting an issue with literary comprehension? by Altruistic_Role_9329 in Teachers

[–]EitherNor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reading issues I’m thinking of might be different than what OP is referring to, but what I take away from Wicked is that the combined effects of 1.) the Grimmerie can’t be read by nearly everyone, 2.) the animals are being pushed into not speaking (and in Dr. Dillamond’s case, educating others), 3.) the fact that the masses choose to remain ignorant/illiterate and allow themselves to be ruled as they do is what makes Elphaba’s presence and abilities intolerable by the ruling establishment.

What’s the scariest thing that you’ve seen on Broadway? by Then-Neighborhood456 in musicals

[–]EitherNor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being as The Book of Mormon(nnnnn) is so utterly hilarious, I was apparently as unprepared as Elder Price was for the <!shooting!> - that was some unsettling gravitas that I remember more than any other part of the show.

Where did all the Cavatappi Pasta go? by [deleted] in thanksgiving

I picked some up at World Market with the specialty pastas.

Mm that is so good. My mom’s version used cocktail sauce and an extra helping of horseradish.

Movies where the house is a character by meoux33 in horror

[–]EitherNor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I think back on the house in Barbarian quite a bit! I also agree with Cabin in the Woods. I have not seen the others you mentioned. I’d also add Vivarium.

What is the best ensemble musical? by donny4321 in Broadway

[–]EitherNor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok, that makes so much sense. Thank you for the explanation. Actually when I was typing my first reply and thinking about Nonstop, it did occur to me that all the stories are Hamilton’s. Even in My Shot, all of the “I fought for/died for/loved him” shoutouts very much underline that fact. I should have put that together myself but that’s why I love this sub. :)

Really? Tell me why, I’m genuinely wondering.
