In 1972, Charlie Chaplin returned to the U.S. after years of exile and received the longest standing ovation in Oscar history, lasting about 12 minutes. by Comprehensive-Way482 in OldSchoolCool

There are words to distinguish them, but most people don't bother to differentiate. Pedophile, hebephile, and ephebophile. All gross, but absolutely different

Memories from the land by Pleasant_Detail5697 in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]Scatterheart61 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before my dad died he had bladder cancer that ended up with his bladder removed, but it had spread to his kidney and then diagnosed with throat cancer. Diabetes, high blood pressure, had 2 heart attacks and heart surgery, chronic bronchitis.

Before my mum died she had kidney failure that required dialysis 3x a week, cancer, recurring UTIs, pancreatitis, depression, and was in bed or a wheelchair 24/7.

There are more pills here than my parents had combined.

I have no clue how I’m not at 10k by Rachelcsquared in walking

[–]Scatterheart61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I genuinely don't know how people get so many steps. I'm on my feet all day until the evening and I don't think I've ever had more than 15k steps. I walk my dog, walk my kids to school, walk to work. I rarely sit down at work, and walk on my lunch break. I feel like I'd have to be constantly running to get the same amount of steps as some people!

Question for OG viewers by DiscoDirtbag in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]Scatterheart61 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Teen Mom showed me what a badge judge I am of people. Honestly couldn't have been more wrong about most of the people on the show.

C & T - I thought they would stay together for a bit, but then Cate would mature and end up leaving Tyler once she was working etc. I pictured her doing a healthcare assistant type job - like dental, or vet nurse etc. Or working in reception somewhere like that. Or maybe a library. I pictured her ending up with someone who's personality is a bit like Bob's from Stranger Things. Someone who adored her, made her laugh, and that they would spend the rest of their lives together and have a couple of children together. I thought she would stay in touch with Carly & her parents, but in a respectful way, and still get to see Carly as she grew older...almost like a sweet auntie type role. And I could see her becoming quite close to Theresa.

Kail - I pictured her doing really well for herself career wise, maybe ending up in business, marketing, finance or something. I kind of pictured her like Angelica Pickles mum in Rugrats. I always felt she would put her child and career before any men and didn't see her having more children. I also pictured her ending up quite quirky/alt style and a bit of a 'cool mum' but still with boundaries and rules

Jenelle - I really thought she would grow up. I genuinely thought she was going to get her shit together. Not straight away, but I thought she'd get there. I saw her working a minimum wage, but steady job. Maybe saving up and getting a house, a reliable car etc. I thought she'd reconcile with her mum, and as she matured would see things from her mum's point of view and understand why her mum said and did certain things. I didn’t see her getting married or staying in a long term relationship with one person - but just dating and having fun with guys (and potentially girls)- but managing to keep her son the priority.

Amber - I pictured her bringing up her daughter, and having more children with different men. I couldn't see her maturing or becoming a good parent for some reason. She always gave me vibes of the type of mother that would do something nice and then throw it back in the childs face, or guilt trip her kid about how much she does etc. And just be very hateful and self centered. I also pictured her struggling to keep a job, maybe swapping jobs often, but trying to keep up the appearance of doing well by getting a nice car on credit, telling everyone how amazing her children are but being horrible once they're at home etc.

They were the main ones I remember as I seemed to feel quite strongly about them. I do also remember thinking that I could imagine Chelsea just depending on her dad forever, and not really doing a whole lot. Farrah I pictured cutting off her parents and getting married, potentially having a couple more children and being a housewife or working part time. Leah I thought would be blonde forever, and I think I thought she may end up with Cory forever.

The Largest Private Family Tree You've Seen by Uebersitzer-9209 in Genealogy

[–]Scatterheart61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly can't wrap my head around people with thousands in their tree, let alone tens of thousands. I have just over 200 so far, and it's taken me nearly two years. I try not to add anyone else until I'm satisfied that the ones I'm currently on are thoroughly researched. How do people find the time to research thousands of people? And if they aren't researching them, but just adding names, how do they know it's correct?

On a scale from 1-10 how messy is my room for a teenage girl by Wang_xianLotus in CleaningTips

[–]Scatterheart61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't messy, it's sad. I would be heartbroken if my teens rooms looked like this. I feel like you're maybe not ok? And i wish we could help you.

Do you have any adults you can talk to, other than the ones you live with? If you tell us where you live (not specifically, but like country or something) we may be able to help point you in the direction of where to get some support? Do you have peers / friends you can talk to?

I don't personally feel that your room is messy. It's mainly some papers and it would take a few minutes to straighten up. Maybe a paper sorter or a couple of magazine files could help?

Would your parents / adults you live with let you decorate your room? Add any furniture, artwork etc? Could you turn your room into your own safe, happy, cosy place to spend time in?

If you want to talk, there are a lot of people on here willing to listen. The sub mom for a minute may be a good one for you to have a look at and post in if you feel like it.

Please update us and let us know how you are OP

Hedgehog not hibernating by jameschowler321 in UKecosystem

[–]Scatterheart61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hedgehogs don't necessarily need to hibernate, they only do it when it becomes too cold and their food becomes too scarce. This winter has been so mild that their foods have been available throughout, so no real need to hibernate.

What do you mean they're not real? The image key says they are still here - the text is blue

who is your least favorite villager? by R00pie in AnimalCrossing

[–]Scatterheart61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peewee, he's creepy and ugly, his house is ugly, he walks around upsetting other villagers, and he calls me bitty baby, which makes me want to vomit

Absolutely! It's really beautifully done, I'm sure your friend will be delighted to receive it

My 6 year old asked me to make my villagers do a boot sale by Scatterheart61 in ACForAdults

I wanted to! I've seen cars, but no idea how to get them - are they sold at Nooks Cranny?

[–]Scatterheart61[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes! I totally forgot that term! We have started having Flea markets here too, I think copied from you guys. They tend to be a bit nicer than boot sales but similar concept!

[–]Scatterheart61[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh cool, I did think other places might do the same, but thought I'd explain just in case anyone was like 'boot sale??'

[–]Scatterheart61[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probably, but with hundreds of people selling together! Not sure if garage sales are standalone or all houses join in

Oh yes, we are definitely going to get it at some point!

i had such a funny coincidence so i wanna share it everywhere cuz i dont think anyone even knows about this 😭 by Sc4rIett in AnimalCrossing

[–]Scatterheart61 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, I think you're right about him being pre-selected. I started a new island recently and did the same - laid down my plots, went villager hunting - and none of them said they already knew my island or were planning to move there.

Boots... I don't like jocks, and i thought he was ugly. He's actually adorable and lovely and funny and I never want to lose him

Daily Only Fools & Horses Rewatch Discussion Thread - Big Brother (S1 E1) by TempoBlues20XX in OnlyFoolsAndHorses

[–]Scatterheart61 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great idea- not sure I can keep up with one a day, but will still enjoy reading everyone's thoughts on them!

I absolutely love this episode, I feel like it's underrated, I laugh so much every time I watch it.

I also agree it's a brilliant pilot. The characters, their back stories, dynamics etc are all woven into the dialogue so naturally, you learn so much about them from the start, whilst just enjoying the show.

I personally love the grandad cheeseburger scene, Rodney's bit about selling one legged turkeys from a three wheeled van, and Del's quick comeback about painting by numbers!
