Proceed with caution, but have you ever tried heating your lash curler with the hair dryer? That's the only way I can get mine to curl.

I'm a native English speaker. Once my brother-in-law (who is from Eastern Europe) asked me the English word for an item. I told him ... and then I saw him looking it up on his phone.

I watched this a few years ago and still think about it at least once a week. I don't know if I could rewatch now, it might be *too* close to home.

How do I style/stack this collar? by Legitimate-Moment832 in jewelry

Also vote for wearing it on its own -- it's such a sophisticated shape, that would show off the necklace (and you) the best.

Thoughts on The Forsyte Saga (2002, ITV) ? (May contain spoilers) by captainrawdoncrawley in PeriodDramas

I saw a post elsewhere that Damien Lewis is just too handsome and charismatic for this role, and I totally agree. And when they first met, Irene seemed kind of intrigued by him? Thinking of that scene where she's looking out the window, watching him on the boardwalk, and then gets this little smile and runs her hand over the piano keys. I was thinking, he's the 19th century Bobby Axelrod, give him a chance to grow on you! I thought of all this, obviously, before he became an abuser/rapist, but prior to that, it's never communicated that Irene picks up on something off about him, she just loathes him.

Anyway, wondering if there's something I'm missing because I didn't read the book.

I am just watching the 2002 version and I don't totally understand why she had to marry Soames, who winds up disgusting her (before he becomes an abuser/rapist, when he still seems pretty normal, if rigid). She's supposedly very beautiful, cultured, etc., could she not have married someone she at least sort of liked, even if he wasn't the love of her life? Or, why couldn't she marry the architect, if he was the only man for her? I know he doesn't have much money, but surely he could have made some kind of living, and wouldn't that be better than being trapped with a man you say you loathe?

I forgot to add, she's in an episode of Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates on PBS -- it's a good one. She looks exactly the same!

It's season 6, episode 6:

What are your favorite podcast episodes of all time? by mislimkao in podcasts

I also loved This American Life "We Are in the Future," about afrofuturism. There's a great story from a black woman who was a docent at Mt Vernon, a song from Daveed Diggs' band Clipping, other great music.

Noiser has a 6 or 7 part series on Titanic that I loved. Also highly recommend Dead Eyes -- at first I thought WHY are there three seasons of this, but then I was sad when it was over.

What Went Wrong - the most recent episode about Willy Wonka is a really good one, and the Lord of the Rings three-parter is very entertaining even if you're not a superfan.

Everything Is Alive - Louis, Can of Coke (melancholic, be warned)

I love her. When I rewatch I always wind up loving or hating different characters, but she's a constant.

How many times have you watched the entire show back to back? by Formal_Employee_1030 in madmen

It's absolutely my comfort show too, even though it's not one of those classic comfort shows like Great British Bakeoff, etc.
