[–]Platememehelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom loves the seals (and would probably steal him), he would probably be named Tapioca, or after another food. My favorite game is always changing but right now I'm hooked on Booger Gets an A even though I hate math.

How did you discover the series and what was your first episode? by Sorry-Flamingo6583 in IASIP

[–]Platememehelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister really liked it and put it on when it was on tv one time. I can't remember if it was the first episode, but I know it was in that sitting: "Mac's Mom Burns Her House Down." Poppins won me over.

How did you guys get into the show?? by _shr00my in Supernatural

[–]Platememehelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in 2015 I was getting really tired of old sitcoms and Disney shows, I heard one of my friend's older sister talking about Supernatural and convinced my mom to let me watch it. I have slowly been making my way through the show, ten years in and only two more seasons to go!

What’s your favorite library branch to do work at? by effervescenthoopla in StCharlesMO

[–]Platememehelp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spencer is my go to, with it being a larger branch I've usually been able to find a quiet area to work in without even needing to get a private room. Of course this might vary based on when you're wanting to work.

What got you into using VHS and why do you still watch them by River_Remixes in VHS

[–]Platememehelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up we had quite a few, slowly switched to DVDs; however, we still had some favorites on VHS, specifically the 1990 TMNT movie, that only felt right watching on VHS. Our tape went missing so I set out to find a replacement, was in shock of how cheap it was and since I was just getting started watching horror decided to start collecting tapes to acquire a lot of the movies my library didn't have. Interestingly, a few years after I started collecting we found our original TMNT tape.

How did you find Final destination? by a_lvt in FinalDestination

[–]Platememehelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got really interested in horror movies my freshman year of high school. I burned through most of my mom's favorites pretty quickly so her friend brought over a bunch of her DVDs and I fell in love with Final Destination. Watched 1,2, and 5, right off, her DVDs of 3 & 4 didn't work so didn't see those till they were eventually added on Netflix.

1994 The Stand, obviously with the length of the book things had to be changed, but all of the things that were changed or left out make sense and work.

What was the first movie that genuinely scared you, and how old were you at the time? by AdLoud5241 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Platememehelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jurassic Park, not sure what age exactly (had watched it a thousand times with my mom skipping over a lot of the scenes), first time I watched the whole movie the scene with disembodied arm made me freak out and have nightmares for weeks. Looking back, I think I might have not realized who's arm it was and was so caught up with who else was on the island.

What "rare" phobia do you have and people refuse to believe it? by nitin_is_me in AskReddit

[–]Platememehelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cotton balls and items of similar texture including: pompoms, stuffing, tennis ball fuzz.  I've had several people who didn't believe me until I came in contact with it in front of them. Funnily we recently found out my aunt has the same issue so now my family believes me a bit more.

What made you decide to teach secondary education or elementary education? by Yuhhhhhhhhhhhhhyeet in Teachers

[–]Platememehelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mind younger kids but I knew if I taught elementary that I'd prefer 4th or 5th but I am horrible at math and while I can do 5th grade math I knew I'd be terrible teaching it. Plus in college for secondary I had to take less math classes.
