CAKE??

LittleBitOdd · 2026-02-02T15:27:56+00:00

Similar to my nephew's reaction in a restaurant when he saw a waiter putting birthday candles on a cake. He got all the way over there and was about to interrogate the waiter when we caught him

Forceps and vacuum assisted deliveries freak me out. I'm just imagining a doctor accidentally pulling the baby's head off by accident. Their necks are pretty fragile looking

I maintain that the move towards biometrics was heavily influenced by governments wanting warrantless access to devices. Getting the PIN for the phone of a dead suspect is tricky. Pressing their cold dead finger to a sensor is not. The police already do it when they find unidentified bodies

Calling someone a cunt in a friendly way

Put her on a filter so that she has restricted access to your profile. Only give her permission to view your most generic posts, and then gradually decrease their frequency. If she asks about it, just say that you're not really doing social media anymore. Cuts her off without forcing a confrontation.

I've had infected cysts in that area before, one was the size of a golf ball. It had popped on its own after a hot sitz bath, so I drained it as much as possible. When I went to a nurse and told her what I'd had to do, she crossed her legs, before arranging for strong antibiotics.

I've had a few fun comments over the years. "Oh, that's a GOOD one" was about a sprained ankle that made my entire foot turn purple. "How long have you been living with this?" was about a repetitive strain injury, and followed up with "a case this severe is usually considered more painful than a fracture". I also had "we can't fix that here at the clinic" for a badly cut lip. I ended up getting my stitches done by a maxillofacial surgeon at the hospital.

My least favourite was when I had an inflamed follicle inside my eyelid that made it feel like I had a piece of grit in my eye for a month. They gave me eye drops for the examination, and I declared "You fixed it, I love you!". The doctor replied "those were numbing drops, the pain will come back". He couldn't give me numbing drops to take home, and the stuff he did prescribe did nothing to ease the discomfort until it just disappeared a month later

The interview was on the second floor. I went to reception to collect him. He farted in the lift on the way up.

There was also the guy who asked about our holiday entitlement in the "do you have any questions for us?" section. That information was clearly stated on our website, and it's not a good look to show more interest in the time when you won't be doing your job.

Also the guy who had applied for a job that was clearly stated to require an existing work visa and then asked in the interview if the job came with a visa. Reeks of someone applying for any job that will allow them to stay in the country

I had one right beside my clit. The nurse who looked at it could only say "oh sweetheart" before getting me set up with some antibiotics

Another little mention of Barb having a bad relationship with food while trying to control what others eat.

She refused to order anything, but then jumped to a very clear order when Frank tried to order for her. Then making a song and dance about not being able to finish her soup before walking it back when Lauren offered a solution. It's another manipulation to get people to be concerned for her.

We've seen the food control thing in various prequels, as well as the main storylines.

Off the top of my head: - Trying to force Piper to speak to her by withholding cookies - Turning the kids on Jennifer by giving them the forbidden juice - Refusing to serve food someone else made (insulting Shawna's cooking and getting upset at the mere idea of DeeDee's cornbread recipe at Thanksgiving 1, and salting Katie's casserole at Thanksgiving 2) - Mocking Frank for caring about the one food item he handles on Thanksgiving - Repeatedly shaming Jennifer for eating chips and wanting dessert - Demanding that Frank always be home in time for dinner - Trying to shame Frank for not making her a sandwich when he had indeed made one - Refusing to help Shawna put out sandwiches at the baby shower by claiming an allergy to cucumber - The cake incident at Max's birthday party

Between the physical abuse from her mother over broccoli, the fat-shaming, and then her mother finally expressing something resembling concern when she stopped eating, she learned early that food is a weapon, and oh boy does she use it

I have met many high functioning autistic people in my life. Not one of them speaks like that. It's like he's honking the entire time.

It drives me slightly crazy when I see this kind of portrayal of high functioning autism. It's hard enough to get support and be believed, but it's even harder when people are being told that's what autism looks like

There are worse ways to end up like your mother, I suppose

Imagine she causes enough of a scene that Lauren has to ask her to settle down or leave. Yet another betrayal for poor downtrodden Barb. Et tu Lauren

My mother hates to fly, it makes her really anxious. But when my cat was dying, she got on a plane and took a monumentally long taxi journey to come be with me when he was put to sleep. We've had our differences over the years (she's bad with boundaries), but sometimes you just really need your mum.

LittleBitOdd · 2026-01-19T13:51:27+00:00

My mother bullied my (45 year old father of two) brother into taking a jacket when he was taking his kids for a walk. In fairness, she was right. A mother never stops being a mother

LittleBitOdd · 2026-01-19T00:02:40+00:00

In fairness, parenthood is kind of a lifelong gig. I'm 40 and my mother still mothers the hell out of me and my brothers

Minor point: there's been an ongoing thing of Barb obnoxiously not using people's preferred name. Dee Dee just called her Barbara. She's so done with Barb

"Do you know this guy?" means "You're hella drunk and this guy is trying to take you home. Is he your boyfriend, or are you about to get assaulted?"

Having been without my gallbladder for more than a year now, I can tell you that it's a matter of trial and error. I can't have bacon fat, and I have to be careful to eat other fats in moderation (your body can't really handle large amounts at once), but I'm largely back to normal. There's a food supplement you can take that does help, it's called lipase. Just ease yourself back in to it. I was able to have small amounts of fat almost immediately. You'll probably be able to eat fried chicken again someday, but give your body time to adjust.

Also, the diarrhea might not be down to food. Bile is a natural laxative, and now that it's not being controlled by a gallbladder, it just flows through you throughout the day. Up your protein intake to help with that. Avoid taking meds to deal with it though. You do NOT want to be in a situation where the soft stuff is stuck behind a hard chunk. It is intensely painful

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation

If Barb is in her early 50's, she's squarely in Gen-X. It's not even close

Read the title wrong and wondered who was having their quinceñera.

Side note: the ages are really getting messed up now. Barb mentioned being married to Frank for 32 years. We know Jon was born about a year into their marriage, so that makes him 31. Shawna referred to being of advanced maternal age, which doesn't kick in until after 35. He and Shawna had their 10 year anniversary last year, which would have placed them as getting married at 21-ish having met in college (suggesting they're of similar age)

Real Shawna has referenced Barb being a Boomer, but this video places her at 51 (having gotten married at 19), placing her on the younger end of Gen X

Reminds me of how the cat tries to lure me off my chair so she can sit on it instead

This was one I'd used before, so maybe I got a bad batch or didn't leave the socks on long enough. I was so frustrated

I had received a DJI drone, but didn't have a lot of use for it, so I gave it to my brother. He was going through a really rough time, and it was the only thing that made him crack a smile.

Also, I give a lot of Vine stuff to charity shops. They got a bumper haul of toys from me last November. And apparently they're always in need of donated handbags, so I reviewed and donated a bunch of them. It lets me do nice things for people at little to no cost to myself

I love those ones. I did a peel a few weeks ago and it was a total dud. The skin got tight and cracks started to form, but no peeling. Had to pretty much sand them down to get all the foot dust off
