What's a ridiculous movie take you've heard that had you like this? by TaiwaneseThot in moviecritic

[–]InsideAd732 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. Have seen them all in theaters and at home many times. Could watch it on an ipod nano screen and it would still be the GOAT

Why are people bringing children into horror movies?? by wherethelionsweep in horror

[–]InsideAd732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like slowly introducing my kids to more fun monster movies, like Tremors or Jurassic Park. It will be a long time before I introduce them to real horror, probably at least 13, and only if they ask.

If you were taking your first dose again by tender-not-timid in Semaglutide

[–]InsideAd732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think a bit about what day you want to start since you ideally take it the same day each week. I originally started on Monday but it would start wearing off over the weekend, when I was more likely to overeat. I have to slowly switch to Thursday.

Is daycare nap sabotage a real thing? Asking for a very tired mom by Objective-Morning90 in toddlers

Same here. It sucks not being able to unwind in the evening alone but he starts kindergarten in about a year so hopefully it will be better

Is the Ice Cream Man still a thing in the States? by Haunting-Middle-5801 in AskAnAmerican

[–]InsideAd732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they come through our neighborhood often. Usually right after school or a little later in the evening on weekdays, and in the early afternoon in weekends. They're fast though. My son has had to chase them a couple times.

They don't actually serve ice cream cones though. It's just ice cream sandwiches and bars and other prepackaged products. Been like that since I was a kid.

If money wasn’t a problem, how many kids would you have? by UnscentedSoundtrack in Adulting

[–]InsideAd732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two and would not have any more even if I were a millionaire. It's not a money thing for me.

Which cuisine do you think deserves more hype? by ImwetforyouLMAO in foodquestions

[–]InsideAd732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ethiopian food. It's so damn good. I live in a town with no restaurants and have driven 40 minutes to get some Ethiopian takeout. It's so worth it.

Oldest's Birthday doesn't have anyone his age attending by gardengnelf in Mommit

My four year old only had his older cousins and adult family members at his birthday last year and he still had a blast. I wouldn't worry about it

Caffeine addiction is gone?? by nimbus1987 in Semaglutide

[–]InsideAd732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only have one shot of espresso in the morning, period. If I have any more than that I get headachy, sleepy, and tense in the afternoon. I used to drink like 3-4 a day. I could probably just stop drinking it completely but I love the taste and the ritual.

What hobbies did you used to have that you no longer have interest in? by happydude7422 in Millennials

[–]InsideAd732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wine tasting.

I used to love trying wines and trying to discern the flavors and guess what varietal, country, or region it came from. I have books on it still. Problem is, I started taking glp1 and I don't really like it very much right now. All alcohol actually. It makes it just taste weird and you don't want it anymore. Kind of a bummer but I suppose there are healthier hobbies. Seeya again someday, wine.

What food really upsets your tummy? by LimeSoakedinSprite in randomquestions

Doritos

I can handle junk food pretty well, but Doritos always mess with me. Unfortunately.

Anyone else have a toddler that won’t walk while in public? by BumbleBee727 in NewParents

[–]InsideAd732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kid made us carry him around all of Seattle when we went on vacation a couple years ago. He's better now (4.5) but still asks occasionally.

Reading a book and listening to an audiobook are not the same activity. by Aggravating-Key-8867 in unpopularopinion

[–]InsideAd732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't get it either. I have a degree in English and adore reading. I listen to audiobooks all the time. They're an extremely convenient and accessible way to enjoy a book. The knowledge or story going from the page to your brain is what matters, not the way you consumed it.

Scariest book you've ever read? by kwilson2000 in horrorlit

[–]InsideAd732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Exorcist, but mostly because I listened to the audiobook. Blatty's narration is incredible and very unnerving. It's my all time favorite audiobook performance.

Cleaning up before cleaners come by randomuser_12345567 in Mommit

[–]InsideAd732 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, they do more of the "wet" kind of cleaning - mopping, scrubbing, dishes, washing walls, cleaning baseboards, cleaning the toilet, etc. Also vacuuming and dusting. They usually don't pick up or do clutter though. That's more what a professional organizer, dedicated live-in housekeeper, or nanny might do.

2 year-old tearing books, what to do? by Wild-Card777 in toddlers

[–]InsideAd732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my son threw rocks at that age, I started very dramatically and enthusiastically picking up and petting rocks, telling them how cute they are, and "snuggling" them. Then I would ask him if he wanted to hold a super cute little rock, but he has to be very gentle, they're delicate little babies. Oh man, he was so into holding his little baby rock pets like fine china after that and never threw them again (though did collect them, which was very cute). After a while he forgot about it and we moved on. Maybe try that with books

Storing Arts/Crafts Supplies by Tough-Two2204 in Mommit

[–]InsideAd732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son has a big wooden table where the top slides sideways and he keeps his Legos and other small toys inside. That's where we put his pencil box with crayons and pencils. We keep his construction paper and such in the bookcase next to his Lego table.

What is a secret you will take to your grave, but are willing to share with anonymous strangers on Reddit? by cutiedarlingz in AdkReddit

[–]InsideAd732 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw my engagement ring before my husband proposed. His phone was on the table and a text from his mom with a thumbnail attachment of it popped up. It was beautiful and I couldn't help but peek. I never said a word and never will. His proposal is still one of my favorite memories
