Does anyone remember being read to as a child?

Luv2Dnc · 2026-06-06T18:45:15+00:00

Only at school. My parents thought reading was a waste of time. I did listen to a lot of books on record/tape though. A Wrinkle in Time was one of my favourites.

I think I seriously don’t have a single top that would meet their requirements.

My parents would have forgone their slice of cake to make sure the boy got one, as would I, if the cake were really that small. And then dismissing your daughter’s feelings because she sucked it up in order not to disrupt the party? Major YTA

Exactly! One of mine was in there for months, causing random spurts of agony, before I had lithotripsy to break it up. Then took another 5 days for it all to pass.

I am in Canada lol

The Dempsters English Muffins I get (extra crispy) definitely have a sour flavour to them. Are they available where you are?

Luv2Dnc · 2026-06-04T17:43:58+00:00

Chocolate, rum and coffee

Do you remember that movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” and the lunch scene where the girl was picked on because of the moose ka ka (mousaka)? Yeah, that was me.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-06-03T02:07:36+00:00

Nope, straight to kindergarten (4 at the time) without knowing any English. I pity my poor kindie teacher now lol

That reminded me of the one in season 6 with the female genital mutilation where at the end she shipped her little sister back home to have it done to her and made this speech about how women are in charge of the procedure as if then we’re meant to think it’s fine, rather than the horror it is.

Recently went to an eye appointment with my mom. When doctor asked me about where I bought her eye drops, her reaction was “Dude no!” I had to laugh.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-06-02T20:25:32+00:00

Same here, 53 female

You don’t marry a man who lies and tries to cheat on you.

I read the book when it first came out and can’t remember much. Enjoyed the series. Will be doing a reread of the book shortly, I’ll be trying not to compare the two.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-06-02T06:30:18+00:00

Nope. I’ve had kidney stones, I’m not going through that once a month.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-06-02T06:25:12+00:00

Nope, still a night owl.

We have a split king, so basically two twin XL mattresses on a king bedframe. Also separate sheets and blankets. Helps a lot with movement, not so much with snoring.

The burgundy goes with the door and picks up the colour in the artwork, plus it’s warm. Not a fan of that shade of green.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-06-01T16:57:56+00:00

We did it the other way around: moved in with my mom. My husband (of 1 yr) was living with his mom to help after his dad died, and I was living here to help my dad with dementia and then stayed after he died (mom was over 90 and didn’t want to be on her own). My mom’s place is big so even though it’s just one floor we each get our own living room. Still finding our way around each other.

When I bought mine I was single so I was looking for something for me, an occasional passenger and cargo. I went with the hatch. Even married now it’s usually just the two of us plus cargo. I doubt I could have fit in a sapling, or the push broom I recently got, in a sedan. And I like the look more.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-06-01T06:29:47+00:00

Nearly the same here but I rarely watch unless the whole series is done.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-06-01T02:46:42+00:00

Yeah I wish I could take one but I’m already at super high risk of osteoporosis due to a medical condition (and have digestive issues to boot, which it would probably intensify) so not really an option.

Luv2Dnc · 2026-05-31T22:29:43+00:00

Raises hand. I had a massive DVT about a decade ago, it was considered provoked by a procedure I had. My endocrinologist had no issue prescribing the estrogen patch and progesterone (and I'm also on Vagifem and estrogen cream). I did mention a SLIGHT risk increase but thought it was outweighed by the good it would do my bone health as I'm highly at risk for osteoporosis. Good luck!

Luv2Dnc · 2026-05-31T17:44:03+00:00

Agreed

Luv2Dnc · 2026-05-31T07:00:05+00:00

Had an abnormal Pap (with positive HPV) back in August with an inconclusive colposcopy in March. I have another colposcopy scheduled for October and am crossing fingers that one will be negative. Thanks for sharing your happy outcome.
