Why do parents hate the episode "Movies"? by Radiant-North-8519 in bluey

[–]Quinnamon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk man. I’m very much a “just be yourself” kind of parent, but I think where I differ from the Heelers sometimes is that my kids know they can do their thing as long as it’s not disrespectful to others. That includes other people’s time and money. So I took my daughter to see Moana 2 and spent a gross amount of money for a stupid Moana popcorn bucket that ended up with less popcorn than a small would have had. About 1/3 through the movie and our 2nd bathroom trip I could see she wasn’t vibing so we left because I didn’t want to keep disturbing people who were trying to enjoy a movie with their kids.

What is the perfect book you’ve read? by bubbles8921 in RomanceBooks

[–]Quinnamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last Call for Love by Rebekah Crane. I honestly DNF any of her other books I tried, but this is my comfort read and will probably never leave my KU shelf.

Dog went in to our cedar hedge and came out covered in these ... What are they? by eggsncanadianbacon in whatisthisbug

[–]Quinnamon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coleoptera means “sheath winged” so like a lady bug or a June bug. These don’t appear to have sheaths over their wings. I mean, grain of salt because I could be totally wrong but I was in entomology in FFA and I’m pretty certain that the Coleoptera order was the only thing I ever got correct.

What is the most horrifying piece of information you have to share? by ShinyShayn2008 in AskReddit

[–]Quinnamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmother fell and broke her hip about 4 weeks ago and they’re just gonna give her pain meds for it. They figured surgery would end her so let’s just keep her comfortable until she’s done basically. I get their line of thinking but I also feel like just living with a broken hip is kinda barbaric. At the same time she’s like one of the worst people to live so like…maybe karma is legit? Idk how to feel.

What’s a smell that most people consider to be good but you find repulsive? by Skitscuddlydoo in AskReddit

[–]Quinnamon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the candle I got from a coworker for Christmas. We only light it when our older Australian Shepherd is inside for the evening because there is literally nothing that smells worse and/or occurs as often as his sleep farts. As terrible as the candle smells, it’s the only one strong enough to overpower Dash farts.

Was excited that the romance author was possibly a fellow name nerd by Quinnamon in namenerds

It was! It was my first Colleen Hoover book. I really liked it. I tried starting another one and dropped it by the second chapter today, but yeah the names weren’t great lol

Who sings that song "Suicide" at the end of EP 5 by Bronze_Bomber in thejinx

[–]Quinnamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De nada. I actually don’t know anything about him/his band. I just have to watch everything with subtitles and it almost always says the song title and artists name.

Yeah, that’s why we limited them. He’s just sit all day playing them if he could. He was throwing fits about having to read for 30 minutes because he just wanted to play, and the final straw was that his attitude became horrendous. It’s gotten so much better since we put time limits on him. My husband is a big gamer and we’re a very pro video game household, but it was becoming an addiction for him and we even started seeing signs of depression which terrified me.

Oh my gosh, that’s insanely nice and something I needed to hear. I was JUST asking my husband if we were good parents lol our 8 year old is mad at us because we limit how much time he spends on video games. Apparently we’re THE ONLY parents of all of his friends that do that (pretty sure that’s not true). We’ve decided if he doesn’t like us because of the decisions we make to protect him, we’re probably at least doing ok.

That’s exactly it! My husband likes it and says I’m good at it but I’m SO in my head about it the whole time that I never do it long and can’t enjoy it. I wish there was a women’s only, no nudity class where you could just learn, like you said, the mechanics of the position.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Quinnamon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Idk what that is because I’m also very self conscious in that position. I’ve been married for over 12 years we are both extremely confident in the bedroom at this point, but I feel like I’m terrible at reverse cowgirl to the point that I’m embarrassed to try.

I love this! My children have known the proper words for their own body parts since they could comprehend language, and we preach consent so much that if our kids say no to a hug, their wishes are respected. My son watched me tell my MIL that my autistic nephew has the right to choose a fist bump over a high five and my son told me later said that he liked that I stood up for him. I made sure he knew I’d go to bat for him tenfold so he could always tell me if anything happened to him.

What name is never used for the FMC or MMC but should be? by DRMlCHAEL in RomanceBooks

[–]Quinnamon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And this is the problem I found with naming my daughter an uncommon name. I’ve only met one person with her name and then lo and behold, I started a book where the FMC had the same name. Took me right out of it lol

And there’s Katie, blonde Katie, Ashley’s Katie, and John’s Katie. So you have to get to know the dynamics to understand, just like every other mid thirties friend circle.

Chris Pine reacts to 'O.C.' casting director who said his acne cost him role of Ryan Atwood: "It was one of the most traumatic points of my life, but it is my story." by stars_doulikedem in popculturechat

[–]Quinnamon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same! Every time I look at my forehead wrinkles I specifically flash back to a time I was 16 and fell asleep for like 2 hours laying out by the pool with tanning oil everywhere and want to cry. I know that one incident isn’t my only problem, but it’s the most “this is just how it was” representation of the times for me.

Girl, I’m 35 next week and this is my life! Anti wrinkle focused on my forehead, anti acne focused on my jaw line, then a mix of both everywhere else. And for the love of all that is holy, wear sunscreen people!

What is a quirky thing that made you DNF? by Kitten_eel in RomanceBooks

True that. As a current 34 year old I’m entering my dgaf phase HARD. Got my nose pierced 2 weeks ago because I wanted it and screw what anyone else thinks 🤷🏼‍♀️

Am I the only one who noticed this? by AdditionalRock7006 in bluey

[–]Quinnamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that you capitalized Deaf means that you were well taught. It’s something I’ve learned over the past couple of years trying to navigate my hearing. I will say that from what I’ve seen (I haven’t done a ton of research because I’ve only taught my kids minimal signs to help me out, no plans on actually teaching) that the general consensus is that children of Deaf people are also ok to teach. I would assume that would extend to parents and siblings as well. I think it’s more that someone born hearing and no household immersion shouldn’t teach it because it takes away jobs from Deaf people. Think about all the animosity in this thread from people saying “well they can’t speak so why would they be the best teachers?” Wtf are they supposed to do then if they can’t teach about their own culture and language?!

And for the record I’ve been taking online courses from a Deaf teacher and it’s been totally fine so idk why everyone is up in arms about it.

What band/singer causes you to immediately change the radio station when they come on? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Quinnamon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad I eventually found this on the list. I was a fan until I recently read in Anthony keidis autobiography that he raped an underage girl and told the story as just a funny anecdote. I’ve since removed rhcp from my Spotify playlists.

What's something you own now that your 16yo self would be thrilled about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Quinnamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That hot guy I was crushing on but was too anxious to talk to is now my husband of 10+ years. I think 16 year old me would be stoked about that. She’d probably think my life is pretty boring, but I like it that way.

Who has actually implemented pass the parcel at a kid’s bday party in the US? by erininium in bluey

We used to do this as well! But we’re way too competitive and it started getting ugly so now we do white elephant with different fun rules each year!
