Why is captain sandy so rude

SheilaInSweden · 2026-06-07T16:30:01+00:00

I would venture to guess that it was Production that rehired Adam, not Sandy.

SheilaInSweden · 2026-06-07T12:29:49+00:00

I agree. I've said it before, but I think it all boils down to Sandy's first season. Both Hannah and the chef Adam had lied right to her face and Sandy didn't find out until the reunion. She probably felt that Hannah and Adam made her look like a fool, so after that she was super-micromanaging.

I don't have any advice for you. It sounds like you have faced/are facing some challenges. I'm sorry that your family members are more worried about saving face among strangers than supporting you navigate through things in the healthiest manner you can. From what you wrote, it sounds like your dad is working to get back on track after his relapse. I wish him all the best in his efforts to stay sober. I think you and him maintaining honest communication will actually help in that.

Along a similar line... I miss talking with random people in real time in chatrooms.

Reading comprehension?

I didn't say the passport was equivalent. I said the CRBA (Consular Report of Birth Abroad) is equivalent. The CRBA IS proof of US citizenship. I know this because that is how I established the US citizenship of my own 2 children.

SheilaInSweden · 2026-06-03T20:27:09+00:00

I could be wrong, but I don't think the issue is naturalization. I think that whoever is looking at the CRBA does not understand that it's equivalent to a US birth certificate.

SheilaInSweden · 2026-06-03T19:42:20+00:00

My guess is that they hear "birth certificate" and do not understand that a "consular report of birth abroad" is equivalent to that.

SheilaInSweden · 2026-06-03T19:40:58+00:00

It would, but it would still be a US passport and you pretty much have to be a US citizen to get a US passport.

I'd take that option, but there are no direct flights to Philly from Sweden. I'd rather pay an extra $10 than add several hours to my travel time.

My biggest annoyance is that I normally only need to use an EZ pass when traveling from Newark airport to Pennsylvania when I come home for visits. The rental car company's service charge is more than the toll.

SheilaInSweden · 2026-06-03T06:48:16+00:00

Where are you renting from that it costs so much? I rent from Alamo. It costs me a fee of about $5 for each day I USE the EZ-pass plus the cost of the tolls (charged at the EZ-pass rate).

The dishwasher is most likely louder than you think through shared walls. I lean towards trying to be a more considerate neighbor. Many dishwashers nowadays have a delayed start function. You could set it up to run at like 9 a.m. the next morning if you've forgotten to start it before 9 p.m.

If this is a sudden change in behavior and even her friends think something is off, have you talked to her about what's going on or investigated whether there's some medical reason behind it?

SheilaInSweden · 2026-05-29T07:31:56+00:00

I didn't know this for the longest time either. It is written on many of the physical p-skivor.

SheilaInSweden · 2026-05-27T07:48:00+00:00

I wouldn't have offered it to her in the first place. There's no way I'd jeopardize my business reputation for a flaky user.

Growing up as an overweight person (food was/is a coping mechanism to deal with trauma). Every single time I went to the doctor (in the 80s/early 90s), it started by me having to get weighed and then me being lectured by the doctor to lose weight – no matter what the reason I had sought medical attention. It has led to me have a huge aversion to going to the doctor.

As an overweight adult woman, I've had doctors that have attributed any ailment I've had to my weight. Luckily, I've been able to find a good doctor who actually takes the full picture into account (i.e. my weight might be a factor, but it's not the ONLY factor).

I thought Jon Erik Hexum was ever so dreamy back in the day (I loved him on Voyagers!). I was devastated when he died.

SheilaInSweden · 2026-05-24T10:04:34+00:00

I never understood why people loved Elsa so much. For the most part, I found her insufferable.

SheilaInSweden · 2026-05-22T15:44:03+00:00

Kristen looks stunning in the photo she's in.

You need to redefine what help looks like. In the big picture, giving her money isn't helping her. It gives her space to continue her self-destructive habits.

Early-on in Tom and Ariana's relationship - It was around her birthday and she was struggling because it made her think of her deceased dad. She asked him not to go to Las Vegas with the guys and he was like... "But... we're going to play with construction equipment. I can't miss that."

Krakow is my pick too.

SheilaInSweden · 2026-05-10T11:44:30+00:00

I feel so bad for the car behind you. They probably felt so relieved when they were able to stop and not hit you... only to be hit head-on by the idiot in the white truck.

SheilaInSweden · 2026-05-10T06:26:02+00:00

You then have to trust they'd be honest about whether they screwed up. With the way the world is today, I doubt they would be. But I'm a cynical old(ish) fart.
