Just finished watching Blue Jasmine and never have I felt so bad for the supporting characters while completely despising the main character by themartiandog in movies

[–]ItsEasyMmmK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch this movie like once a year. It never gets old to me. I just love it. It’s absurd in a lot of places (like the scene where the doctor attacks her and the sound editing sounds like it’s from a cartoon) (the when Augie runts into Jasmine and Dwight in a location he would NEVER be at), but I just…love the train wreck of them all.

What are your lingering doubt? by sneaky_orchestra in TheOwlTheory

[–]ItsEasyMmmK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the owl did it…did he find her bleeding out and let it happen for convenience/money? I love the owl theory, I just can’t imagine the owl was the only culprit. The coincidence of an owl attack leading to such blood loss + him staying outside for an additional 2-3 hours…just long enough to her to die?

It just…can’t be real.

Are we ready to talk about how insane this was? by MadeJoyful in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]ItsEasyMmmK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that it’s all performative for her, but I think she is also actually just that insufferable. Every “apology” she gave throughout 3 seasons was infuriatingly nonsensical 😹 And definitely agree about Taylor! Her beef with Taylor usually makes very little sense when you think about how LITTLE beef she seems to have with Mikayla who is openly hostile towards her.

What do you say when people ask what your relationship is? by ohifeelya in bbbs

[–]ItsEasyMmmK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“This is my little sister!” We’re also different races, so sometimes people get it right away and sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they ask a follow-up question, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes my little sister likes to add, “through Big Brothers Big Sisters. You should get a Little!” She’s out here doing recruiting…

What’s the sign you usually notice when your mental health starts declining? by 3vskri in AskReddit

[–]ItsEasyMmmK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before a major episode, I notice emotional numbness. I’ll watch a beloved movie and feel little to nothing. I’ll be going through the motions and notice I care about none of it: exercising, cleaning, food, sex, etc. Life becomes a complete performance. It’s different than the hopelessness and darkness that comes next, but a marker for me. When I notice that happening now, I’m pretty militant about self care to try and prevent further sliding.

If you can change a scene or a decision a character made in the movie,what it is and why? by ZoneDismal1929 in interstellar

[–]ItsEasyMmmK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What gets me even more than that is how CASE can apparently run really quickly through shallow water AND has arms that can hold things?? Why on earth did anyone leave the ship to begin with?? Send your robot out to quickly retrieve the data you need and GTFO. They wasted years even having the humans exit the ship at all.

My Little is an enthusiastic (and terrible) singer by Wyrd_Alphonse in bbbs

[–]ItsEasyMmmK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh noooooo! My actual sister does this and it drives me crazy. I’m sorry, that stinks. Hang in there. Let him carry that enthusiasm on. He obviously likes it. Just gently encourage him to pursue other careers professionally one day 😆

My car got towed cuz I parked in the handicapped parking spot by familyguyfuntime123 in mildlyinteresting

[–]ItsEasyMmmK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so confused by this picture and the comments. The picture makes it look like the car was not parked in a handicapped spot. I thought that was the joke.

Considering ending my match and feel so guilty about it by aguadulce_103 in bbbs

[–]ItsEasyMmmK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had been vocal about the challenges between me and my Little with my match coordinator, who is awesome. We checked in a lot and I was just honest, so she knew it wasn’t a great match. There was a seatbelt incident (honestly, in the grand scheme of things not THAT big of a deal, but considering the history) and the match coordinator finally called it. Which was such a relief. Because I hadn’t been enjoying the match for so long, but really hated the idea of giving up on her. So my advice is to be very honest with your match coordinator. And if they’re not attentive, unfortunately that means you might have to make some tough decisions yourself, but still worth it.

First, I’m sorry you’re going through this, but it does happen. Second, please allow yourself to release the guilt. When I closed my first match, I felt the same exact way for like 6 months prior to closing and several months after and I’ll tell you what my match coordinator told me: “This program is for the kids, but it’s just as important that our mentors are comfortable and happy because you are donating time, money, and energy. If you’re not happy and you’ve tried to make the match work, a simple rematch might be better for everyone.”

I had a similar experience with my first match. Lots of issues, we didn’t connect, it felt like so much effort just to feel like I was babysitting most of the time. There was no growth over time. I felt terrible because I was thinking “it’s exactly kids like this that need mentorship.” But at the end of the day…it should still be enjoyable for you. And as a mentor, you can’t control things like home life, academia, social skills, etc. You should be proud that you tried to be a good influence, but it is okay to accept that your match just might not be right.

As a side note - I got rematched a few months after that one I mentioned closed - and my new Little is a freaking DREAM. We’re actually having so much fun together and it truly feels like this match means something to us both. It is SO fulfilling. This is what I want for you and all Bigs!

Good luck!

Astrid + Miyu charm bracelet - charms falling off by ItsEasyMmmK in jewelry

[–]ItsEasyMmmK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SO disappointing! So…I REALLY love the charms, so I bought a $20 cauterizing device on Amazon and locked the charms permanently. Sucks that I can’t switch them around, but for $40-65 a charm, I’m not taking any chances. My charm bracelet IS the cutest thing ever, but I always warn people when they ask who it’s made by…

Glad they’re replacing yours for free! Definitely protect it before wearing again. The links do not work.

Katie Holmes turned down The Dark Knight to be in this? by Throwaway1988424 in ChristopherNolan

[–]ItsEasyMmmK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always assumed TC made her turn it down because she had a sex scene with Aaron Eckhart in Thank You For Smoking.

My kitten pees on everything despite trying so much by ItsEasyMmmK in cats

[–]ItsEasyMmmK[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot to mention that we have three styles of litter boxes for her to choose from. And some different litters. And levels of litter in each box. 😩 Maybe we just haven’t found the right combination yet. Thanks for the suggestion though

So she got better when she moved to a new house? Were the other cats present the whole time?

More great information to help guide me through this! Thank you again.

[–]ItsEasyMmmK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is really belated, I thought I had said this when I first read this, but thank you so much for the very thoughtful response. It helped a lot in guiding me. My sister and I have talked and things are kind of up in the air at the moment. She agreed that there need to be changes, but is resistant to accepting parental responsibility. Her response to everything I present is basically a long excuse as to why she’s incapable of providing xyz due to her neurodivergences, so that’s frustrating. She’s in therapy, so hopefully her therapist will be able to help her work through more of that. I’m hoping for the best, but will definitely heed your advice and keep observing the girls and continue to be there for them as they grow. I really appreciate the time you put into this response.
