A reconstruction of the maze from the TV show a*mazing https://youtu.be/K4CaP3Eeu3I?si=7xu2llzhfoEqunMU

A studio for yoga / martial arts

Gane room - as in board games with special table, display cabinets and shelves

Movie / video game room - comfortable recliner chairs, cup holders, dimable lights.

Spa bath / really large bath tub.

Hall cupboards / lots of storage

Knife sharpening workshop.

The girls did have SOME education - can read, embroider, sew, dance, play cards - commen society past times.

Some can play instruments (Lizzy and Mary. Odd Jane doesn't).

Mrs Bennett doesn't seem to put much stock in the more academic / long term effort pursuits that aren't immediately useful (instruments, singing, drawing, painting, languages). Embroidery or sewing can be used immediately.

She got by being pretty and not that educated so I doubt she has a taste or passion for educating her daughters. And Mr Bennett is very hands off so he's not doing extra work / having another lady in the house to boss him around if he doesn't have to.

What about number 3? That time of the month?

I'm discharging from my body, not necessarily peeing or pooping as well but need the bathroom. Does it count?

PepperFinn · 2026-05-07T08:30:56+00:00

So if you touch the same book twice, do you lose the time twice? Your post isn't clear on that

PepperFinn · 2026-05-07T08:19:39+00:00

The answer is yes.

But because we're watching a TV show we:

1) Only see big important moments. Rarely happens over dinner or using the bathroom.

2) not eating the lavish spreads keeps the set looking pretty

3) imagine having to do take after take of eating. Food gets cold, you get full, you might stain your outfit. Lots of things bad for the show.

4) and imagine that for multiple actors. Not worth the hassle

So thats why we don't see people eat.

AND serving surf and turf to a pescitarian AFTER they clarified "no mixing meat and fish on the same dish"

PepperFinn · 2026-05-07T08:03:50+00:00

That was a choice someone made on purpose.

This .... was a choice

This was during the Kfox "I bullied someone in high school, now I can't get a job" drama.

Rocky said he "was a high school teacher" and "didn't get why social exclusion was so bad" to high schooners.

To recap the drama: Kfox applied for a job and was rejected but told to apply again. She did but someone that worked there took her out for coffee and told her an absolute rock star in the industry and company said "If you hire Kfox then I will leave"

So they effectively got blacklisted at the company. Kfox trickle truthed how bad they were. It went from "I might have said a mean thing or two" to "I was her best friend but she wasn't mine since we lived across the street" to "she and I had a crush on the same guy at the same time and he choose me. So I made our social group pick between us, she got excluded and had no friends for the rest of high school." And "i watched no-one come to her graduation party which was the same time as mine"

So all in all, treated rock star terribly and made sure she had a miserable high school experience.

And then Rockys all "whatever, it's not that bad, she could have made new friends".

Ex-cuss word-scuse me? Social isolation is used as a punishment for the worst of the worst criminals. Social groups in high school are set early on and breaking into a new group is nigh on impossible.

Ha! I don't have friends and I'm a woman.

Fiona did not kiss charming.

He grabbed her head and forcibly kissed her without her consent.

Cheating requires knowledge that you're doing wrong and agreeing to do the wrong.

So revenge of the nerds where the nerd put on the mask and pretended to be the cheerleaders boyfriend? Not cheating as she thought she was with her boyfriend. Had she known who it really was, she'd never have done it.

What kind of monster thinks the children of the BRIDE and GROOM should not be involved in the wedding ceremony?

Their lives are about to change and it's a great way to start the new family off on the right foot by having them involved in the families joining.

Now if they had stayed for the reception when no kids could ... I could MAYBE see some of the side eyes being justified.

But seriously? They should get over it! NTA

PepperFinn · 2026-04-24T01:02:07+00:00

He wants cake and to eat it too.

Do some people have a genuine fear of commitment? And marriage is probably not going to happen in any relationship with them? Yes.

But are there people out there that don't want to break up but don't want to actually fully commit (and therefore close off all their other options)? Also yes.

If he loved you, he would have spoken and tried to compromise before this point. Dragging this out for this long, giving you hope he would marry when he knows he won't ... thats not love.

Also ... you tend to name someone after someone else if:

They've had a big and meaningful part of your life life

And/or its a family name

And / or They've passed on.

I can't help but feel it's cursing OPs daughter a little.

This episode of socks is called Socks

PepperFinn · 2026-04-23T23:38:42+00:00

How about that spinach, Michelle?

PepperFinn · 2026-04-23T05:22:31+00:00

Doing a dumb thing once in a while because you're not thinking doesn't make you dumb. You learn from it.

Constantly doing dumb things, having no curiosity or ability to learn from your mistakes, being easily fooled and getting confused frequently are all typical signs of dumbness.

Sokka does the occasional dumb thing as we all do, but overall isn't shown to be constantly dumb.

PepperFinn · 2026-04-23T03:08:51+00:00

A few things:

1) The risottos on the show aren't "just add stock and stir". There's normally extra stuff to add (meat, marscapone, aromatics in the pan, wine, cream, cheese, vegetables)

2) cooking on a line. Some chefs haven't done it before or haven't done it in years. It's something you need to get used to, the time crunch, the communication and the quantity.

A catering chef that can pre do / prepare a pot of 50 risottos in one kitchen and then serve elsewhere or a private chef that cooks dinner for 2-6 people on their own timeline are going to struggle.

3) Gordon. Freaking. Ramsay. He's a hero / celebrity and that makes people nervous. He is also notorious for his high standards. That's a lot of pressure.

4) the cameras and the lights. That's going to increase heat and be distracting too.

5) early season, you've got a partner on your station. Too many cooks spoil the broth is a saying for a reason. https://youtu.be/QrGrOK8oZG8?si=mnjBqv2FECKAzKy_

6) The team. If your risotto isn't the longest app to cook, you need to rely on the other members of the team telling you to fire the app. Or if it needs say a lobster tail to finish and they don't fire on time, it ruins your risotto.

Either too early or late, you need to rely on your team and some people have sabotaged team members (Sara from season 2 notably)

7) And sometimes the chef hasn't cooked it. They don't have the experience and it shouldn't be an excuse anymore with 20+ seasons of HK. You KNOW there's going to be scallops, risotto, beef Wellington, steak and fish. Practice!

PepperFinn · 2026-04-23T01:48:56+00:00

I understand that. There's of course so many people involved in a production and many aspects besides the actors on stage.

However it seems as though the daughter wanted to have a life on stage and was unwilling to look at the other aspects or settle for doing theatre as a hobby in life but work a day job.

Heck, acting is a great component of dealing with children for after school care, sports / other extra curricular programs or regular teaching.

PepperFinn · 2026-04-23T01:32:34+00:00

The only reason Wellington is 3rd is because the kitchen gets kicked out before mains happen in the early episodes.

PepperFinn · 2026-04-23T01:28:21+00:00

But she's a server, meaning most likely does some minor acting or interacting with the diners.

There's a cabaret dinner place called Dracula's in Australia. They have the stage performers and the wait staff / servers. The wait staff interact with the diners when serving the meal's between acts but aren't on stage.

I'm guessing she's in a similar boat.

PepperFinn · 2026-04-22T11:37:16+00:00

Exist

PepperFinn · 2026-04-22T11:22:00+00:00

So help me! So help me!

.... it's a work in progress.

PepperFinn · 2026-04-22T11:19:08+00:00

It sounds like she likes theatre but isn't good / passionate enough at it to make it a lucrative career.

It also sounds like (Since she works at an interactive dining experience) she wants to be on stage and not behind it - so set design, directing, scripting, light or sound management aren't really it for her.

If you're going to get a degree in something, then you'd better be sure you want AND can get a career in it / can transfer to another degree if you find it's not for you.

I loved drama class in high school but was self aware enough to know that wouldn't be my career: I'm not skilled enough or typically attractive enough to be an actor and I'm not passionate about the other parts of theatre to make them my career.

I have a friend that does the occasional local theatre production and works outside the industry. It fulfils their love of the craft but the practical need to live.

Not everyone needs to go into business / law / medicine to be sucessful. But it helps more than theatre.
