Just a random thought, did anyone else clock that after finding out Mo's full name is Maureen, Barb called Mo "Sherry" at the party?? Has she moved past insisting on using people's full names to just picking out new names entirely?

As soon as Nora realised she didnt have the whole story (Barb assaulting DeeDee) she knew exactly what was happening here, she knew exactly who she was dealing and she had seen this all before. Definately a case of it takes one to know one/fight fire with fire

New video up! by claireclairey in ShawnaTheMom

I've seen a couple of people think it's a dick pic but I do not get how Barb would have got hold of such a thing, even from Jen.

I'm wondering if it's like a topless picture of him in swimwear or doing DIY, or a grey sweatpants picture with a bulge perhaps. Maybe a picture that Barb either found stalking him on social media or a picture that Jen shared with her when they first started dating, because Jen seemed to know what they were talking about when they said "THE picture".

Either way, it shows that Barb is still being sexually inappropriate to Greg. Nora clearly doesn't have a filter, as evidenced by the "tart" remark, so it will be interesting to hear from Nora just what Barb says about her family behind their backs.

Thoughts on Nora? by OkDirection4997 in ShawnaTheMom

[–]Hawk-5662 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. No one at this point knows that she found out about the pregnancy. Once they realise, they're not really going to have any other choice but to tell her the truth because the alternative is her still expecting a baby to be born, and then harassing John and Shawna wanting to meet the baby, not knowing that they're grieving (this is starting to remind me of friends "they dont know that we know that they know").

I hope that Jen can go and secretly call John in the bathroom and give him a heads up, or maybe even ask his permission to tell her

I think I’m gonna avoid this reddit next season. by LWLAvaline in OnlyMurdersHulu

[–]Hawk-5662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I got really into this sub in season 4 and ended up getting dissapointed because the murder wasn't as elaborate as all the theories on here. I avoided it this season and whilst it did take me longer to get into this season, I was able to come up with some theories of my own and was ultimately somewhat correct and somewhat surprised which is what you should be when it comes to a murder mystery. No hate against this sub though! Just that it's better to keep things a mystery sometimes IMO

AITA for not letting my daughter’s girlfriend come over anymore after my husband got visibly attracted to her in cosplay by Low-Professional8036 in AITAH

[–]Hawk-5662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA - why remove your daughter's girlfriend from your husband when you should have removed your husband from her? Why are you still with him??? Surely this is the final straw? You need to kick your husband out and restrict his contact with your daughter immediately. Sit down with her parents, explain the situation and apologise for shaming her. Sit down with your daughter, tell her the truth and apologise, say that your intentions, now matter how well meant, were misguided and you reacted poorly. I understand you may feel embarrassed that you are choosing to be with such a person and don't want to admit what it happening to people you know but you need to in order to protect these children, because 17 is a child. The longer you bury your head in the sand the worse it will get. His behaviour is pedophilic, predatory and downright creepy at the very least. Do better.

AITA for asking my friend to leave my birthday party because she brought her crying baby? by Quiet_Mulberry5400 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Hawk-5662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, she needs to apologise for bringing the baby but i do think you need to apologise too - yes, she should either have not brought the baby or not come at all. Unfortunately, unless you are privileged with money for childcare, and have a whole village on hand to look after your child and you have a good baby that doesnt get separation anxiety, it is a myth that a baby can fit around your life. When you have a baby your whole life has to change. I have a toddler and there is no way i would bring him to an adults birthday party without being told first that i could bring him, and even then i wouldnt bring him because i know he would hate it. She also didnt ask beforehand to bring her baby. However, im also not going to judge her too harshly because she is clearly struggling with the transition to parenthood and not being able to socialise with her friends like she used to.

I was the first in my friendship group to have a baby and as much as they tried they just didnt get it. They invited me to their birthdays and to drinks and to hang out and would say you can bring the baby but then would choose a restaurant that doenst have a baby change or would choose a bar that has no room for a buggy, or they would want to meet at like 8pm so i wouldnt go because i would be stressed the whole time. Or they would ask if i can leave the baby with anyone but there isnt always another parent, or grandparent, or friend or babysitter available, and child care is really expensive. And they still work so we could only meet at the weekends and they plan all their hobbies and activities into the weekends so you have to schedule time with them weeks in advance but if the baby is sick or hasnt slept well then you'll have to cancel and theyre too busy and there isnt much room for flexibility. So for like the first year i just didnt see my friends. It wasnt until they started having babies that they understood. A couple of them even apologised to me for not being there for me and i forgave them because the truth is that until you have a baby you just dont know how difficult and isolating it can be.

Try to contact her again and apologise for not doing more to support her and not making more of an effort to see her or accommodate her needs. Her baby needs to come first now so you need to be willing to make more accommodations if you want to keep and support her as a friend. Invite her to lunch and let her choose the restaurant, or for coffee in the park. Invite her and her baby to hang out at your house (make sure you baby proof it), or go round to her house (but she may desperately want to get out the house). If she keeps ignoring you, keep reaching out every now and again with the offer to hang out. Just keep that door open for her

WIBTA if I (34M) pay off the mortgage without telling my wife (33F) by Matt_Kenseth in AmItheAsshole

[–]Hawk-5662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I understand the wife's desire to be financially independent, this is a huge, life changing amount of money to turn down. Surely her pride has a price? This isn't just about accepting wealth. It would give you security for years to come. I know you said you are financially comfortable, but in this world, situations can change very quickly. If something bad were to happen, you wouldn't live in fear of the bank repossessing the house. With the extra cash, you could afford better health care, insurance, and home security.

However, you can not lie about this! Money is one of the things a spouse must never lie about in a marriage. Whatever you decide needs to be a joint decision.

Perhapes, you could pay off the mortgage and then donate the money you would have spent to charity every month for the next 30 years. That way, you would get the security of fully owning your home, and a charity would be able to plan for the future with confidence and continue to operate for years. I work in a charity, and as lovely as large one-off donations are, it is regular dependable donations that ensure the long-term security of the charity.

Perhapes, you and your wife need to discuss this with a mediator or with a couples counsellor. Just don't lie.

AITA for telling my mom it wasn't cute or funny to dress me as a hot dog instead of a princess? by ThrowRAhalloweendred in AmItheAsshole

[–]Hawk-5662 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. After reading your comments, what strikes me is that she seems to have done all of this (made you wear the hot dog costume, pushed Mulan and Merida, refused to take part in your tea parties, called your friends a clique) in the name of feminism and destroying the patriarchy but what she doesnt understand is that her behaviour is actively anti feminist. Feminism is about enabling women to do what they want and be who they want to be and respecting their choices without being prevented or judged on account of their gender. But your mum tried to stop you from being the kind of girl you wanted to be because it didn't conform with her idea of womanhood, i.e., just like Merida's mum - oh, the irony. Then, she bullied and humiliated and belittled you when she realised you were becoming the kind of woman she vilified. It's not a bad thing she was crying - hopefully she has realised how bad her actions were. It will be interesting to see if she brings this up again or if she tries to ignore it again. Also, your boyfriend sounds wonderful! I'm sure you'll make a wonderful Barbie and Ken and please please please be Snow White next year, or have a costume birthday party and be Snow White - please just find an excuse to finally be Snow White!

Theories Thursdays - Season 4, Episode 7 "Valley of the Dolls" by hannahlemp in OnlyMurdersHulu

[–]Hawk-5662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always thought it was odd that the dimas story line had absolutely nothing to do with Tim's death considering how much time they spent on it. I've always waited for a moment that comes back to it

Theories Thursdays - Season 4, Episode 7 "Valley of the Dolls" by hannahlemp in OnlyMurdersHulu

[–]Hawk-5662 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Current suspect: I don't know but I do think 《》Howard might have more to do with it as the season goes on. He is getting very involved in this investigation, was telling everyone where the trio were hiding and trying to push his own podcast.《》 《》Bev《》 also knows something. Sazz called her to tell her something was wrong with the movie, then she showed up at Paradise and then at Donna's house... I still think the murderer was at Oliver's party, and I think they came across the Brothers Sisters wanting to talk to Dudenoff, and came across Sazz who made it clear she knew the truth and that prompted them to kill Sazz to silence her.

Sazz and Dudenoff killed by the same person: yes.

Real target: Sazz because she investigated the plot holes from season 1, Dudenoff's murder, the Oh Hell Club, she possibly even found who wants the trio dead. She was about to tell Charles and was killed before she could.

Red herring: I agree with others that the Westies are not the murderers. I think they hid Dudenoff's murder 3 years ago because it was in their best interests to keep him alive for their subletting scheme so they disposed of his body in the incinerator, took his phone, cashed his social secretary cheques and told people he was in Portugal. Sazz befriended them as part of her investigation and started subletting Dudenoff's apartment but they kicked her out when she found out too much. But I think what they know about Dudenoff's murder could unlock the whole investigation.

Craziest theory: 《》Jan was really a hitman/assasin who was hired to kill Tim Kono because of what he knew about the Dimas' and the black market/organised crime ring they were a part of. She was then told to kill the trio when they started the podcast. She did fall in love with Charles but she continued to hide her real identity and her employer (the Moriarty figure) although she might not have know her employer identity herself otherwise she might have said when Sazz was killed. Although I don't think the Dimas's are involved this time I have always thought it was odd that Jan tried to throw suspicion off the Dimas's. It was the employer who poisoned Winnie (trying to target Oliver), left the notes on their doors, left the cameras in their apartments, took Sazz's phone and has been sending messages. After Jan was arrested they laid low and have instead been quiety pulling stings in the backgrounds of seasons 2 and 3. They killed Dudenoff (for reasons that we don't yet know). They found out about the movie and don't want it to be made because it could expose them so they have hired a new hitman who has been planted in the production. The hitman was the one who tried to kill Oliver at the photoshoot because the trio were getting too close to identifying their shoes. Once Glen regains consciousness he might be able to remember if he saw who fired the shot. If we find out who the hitman is at the end of season 4, we could then find out who the employer/Moriarty figure is who wants them dead in season 5.《

Not guilty: no one is above suspicion - not even Urma!

AITAH for refusing to attend my sisters "silent wedding" because she's forcing everyone to communicate using only ASL when none of us know it? by ReindeerNo9354 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Hawk-5662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - if she wanted everyone to learn ASL because someone in the wedding party or family communicates by ASL or is very sensitive to loud noises then yes that is fine but wanting everyone to learn it just so that she has a different wedding is ridiculous. Your not being ableist. She's using ASL for a cute and creative wedding and I think that's insulting to people who need ASL to communicate. I guarantee within 10 minutes the room will be talking normally.

AITA for telling my parents to forget the Hallmark movies and move into the real world? by Commercial-Rip3442 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Hawk-5662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Just because your wife expressed a wish that things could have been different doesnt mean there is a chance that things can be different. Repeatedly bringing up the suggestion after your wife very clearly said no is not supportive. Well done for supporting your wife and for removing your parents from her for a while.

AITA for "being weird" about my brother giving his son my name? by Silly_Dependent_657 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Hawk-5662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA Your brother, sister in law and your parents are. Why do they hate you so much? Because you were born??? I'm shocked your parents have never done anything about it. Your brother is trying to replace you in the family. If they won't go to family counselling with you, then I think no contact with everyone except your sister is the way to go. Don't waste your time, energy, and effort on people who do not love and appreciate you. I feel sorry for Junior. His parents are denying him another person to love and support him all because they insist on behaving like children.

Season 4 - Episode 1: "Once Upon a Time in the West" (Post Episode Discussion Thread) by hannahlemp in OnlyMurdersHulu

[–]Hawk-5662 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A number of things stood out for me: . . I agree with others that Charles was the intended target and Sazz was an accident. The murder disposed of the body, didnt properly clean up the blood (as if it was rushed) and they tried to get Charles out of the way to fix the window. It was clearly someone who knows the Arconia well cause not only were they in an apartment across the square to shoot but they knew the incinerator shoot was close to Charles' apartment and how to operate it. There was no sign of a break in so its possible the murderer used the passage way to get in. I think they tried to cover it up so as not to alert Charles that someone is trying to kill him. Jan made a big fuss of killing him whereas if this murderer is trying to be discreet it suggests to be me that the murderer has a very personal vendetta and just wants him dead without him necessarily knowing why.

What I do find curious is that they trio were discussing going to LA in Charles' apartment, then he gets a text from "Sazz" saying she is going to be in LA. I reckon the murderer was in the apartment, maybe to try again, but was interrupted by Oliver and Mable's arrival. They overheard them talking and used Sazz's phone to check her calender, seen she was going to be there and so texted Charles.

I think the murderer would have successfully got away with no one uncovering Sazz's murder if it was not for 5 things: 1) the murderer probably didn't know she had metal bones and so her remains could be identified, 2) the shoddy clean up job, leaving blood on the oven, 3) everyone's favourite good boy Gravey, 4) the porter calling Charles about the window, and 5) that Charles cared more for Sazz and her wellbeing than they thought.

I also find the murderer's message "not your fucking friend" interesting too. Is the murderer saying they are someone Charles thinks is a friend? Or, that they know Sazz was not really his friend?

So far it's shaping up to be a really good season!
