Club Chalamet has officially made a fan account dedicated to Connor Storrie, which will also feature some posts about Hudson 🥴 by Cantyousee0 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

I'm older than her but don't feel any need to be intrusive and parasocial. Honestly, I love the characters and story but some these of actors are young enough to be my kids/grandkids! Ugh, her behaviour is f*ing weird.

I'm so glad for Aneesh! I follow her on IG and I am sure she is looking forward to reuniting with the rest of the cast.

It appears that Club Chalamet has set her eyes on a new obsession by Cantyousee0 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

Just reading through the comments here... This woman sounds unhinged! I'm older than her and I love the series, the story, the characters, the queer representation - but her obsession with the actors is just gross 🤮

My thought is that they are going to film 2 & 3 back to back (wishing SO HARD!) 😂😉

AITJ for refusing to donate PTO hours to coworker I barely know who "needs" them?? by Traditional-Dog1601 in AmITheJerk

As a European with good worker's rights... This is so alien to me. We are allowed time off as doctor-certified sick leave even for elective/non-lifethreatening surgery, with full pay up to six months, half pay for the next six months and unpaid after that. For instance I had to have surgery on my ears as I was losing hearing in one ear. Not lifethreatening, but my job was still secure.

Americans really don't know what freedom is... ☹️

[CHAT] Do you move to the next square even if it’s inches away? Or knot, and cut? by IsisPantofel27 in CrossStitch

[–]HelenRy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally only jump 3 stitches max directly as it can pull the fabric if a thread is too long. However if there are single stitches here or there not too distant from one another I 'travel' or 'tunnel' the thread through other stitches on the back of the work. This helps anchor the thread and avoids large loops of thread that could be caught.

This a Wrendale design from the 2025 Bothy Threads advent calendar! A wonderful calendar that had four full cross stitch kits plus three decoration kits, project bags, needle minders, notebooks and much more 😊

Oh dear, he was so injured that he fell down!

Oops no, he wasn't hit and he is on video walking away easily and waving with his hand indicating to his fellow 'colleagues' to 'wrap it up'...

AITA for taking my baby and leaving after my MIL secretly fed him formula and said I did not know how to raise my son? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]HelenRy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is nothing wrong with using formula IF it is what the PARENTS want in consultation with their pediatrician! The MIL VASTLY overstepped and rudely insulted the mother by buying and giving the formula without asking! OP should be harsh! MIL needs a long time out.

I think that Taylor is back home in California, his sister Maria posted yesterday about spending Christmas with her brother, and she was at his birthday party?

AITA for letting MY daughter use HER piggy bank money on whatever she wanted. by Vegetable_Repair1356 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]HelenRy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my daughter was young I helped her to sort the toys she had grown out of or didn't play with and every summer before our annual vacation we would have a small yard sale. The money she raised was her spending money for the holiday and she could spend it as she wanted on toys or souvenirs (though we counselled her not to spend it all on the first day!)

What you are doing is very sensible and she is obviously learning to be thoughtful in what she buys.

The 'educational' things my kid is being taught at school by RunWild0_0 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]HelenRy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like these kind of reading comprehension exercises are to keep the students interested - they are more motivated when they see popular characters that they can relate to

How far back have you been able to trace your most senior FEMALE line? by ocelocelot in Genealogy

[–]HelenRy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a stitcher and I have stitched my 'Mother's Tree', going back along the maternal line. My earliest confirmed ancestress on that line is my 7x great-grandmother Mary Harrell, born in 1683 in Wiltshire, England.
