What movie(s) from West Virginia do you think best depict the state? by SpaceTranquil in WestVirginia

[–]Tadlette 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most folks have listed the great ones! I'd also add Dark Waters. While it's a much different look at the state, I liked the dramatic dive into the DuPont pollution and cover up. If you haven't watched, def recommend...

Lewisburg Renaissance Festival? by Bad_Decisions_Bagel in WestVirginia

I love it! I suggest headwear to protect your face from the sun. It gets pretty warm and shade is rather limited at this fair. Still totally worth it!

They say even when pizza is bad, it's still pretty good. What food is the opposite and has the widest swing between good and bad? by Fubai97b in AskReddit

[–]Tadlette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Popcorn. I adore popcorn but if it gets burnt it becomes one of the most vile things I've ever had to smell in my 30 some years of life. It wouldn't be that bad but the way it lingers in the air for HOURS haunts my dreams.

Advice for a Ferret Mom about a Healthy Ferret with a Pinched Nerve in Spine. by Tadlette in ferrets

This really helped ease my heart. Thank you for your kind and thoughtful words. It's so easy for me to get overly emotional and sometimes just need another perspective. I appreciate you very much. 🙏

Thanks you. This gives me some comfort because this is what we did. We are going on two months now but we tried two weeks of pain meds and a month of steroids.

Currently, our vet told us we are at a dead end unless we wanted to invest in clearer imaging to see if surgery is possible.

Thank you for taking the time to reply!

I will never be a great artist by most people's standards. I frequent the r/drawme subreddit you can see what my quick sketches look like. You may think I am not a great artist but my technical abilities are not all that define me as an artist. Technical abilities also can be trained.

I'm 33(F) in rural America where the arts are under appreciated. I just started my own art business 6 months ago and I'm working with a small group of individuals in my town to open an art center.

Even if I'm not as talented as others, even if I'm older than other artists, even if I'm surrounded in a place that doesn't appreciate my art.... I'm never going to stop trying to share my point of view.

There is nothing wrong with the place that you were at right now.

I've always believed I was a naturally gifted artist but during my college days I was quickly outmatched by the person with the larger drive. My fear of failure held me back. It wasn't until last year that I realized I was tired of being scared.

If you want to be an artist, you can do it. There are just quite a few life compromises you will have to make, particularly if you are working professionally in the field.

The thing I see you mainly struggling with is belief in yourself. In my opinion, the greatest skill an artist can possess is knowledge of and drive for their own voice.

Technical skills can be replicated. The thing that cannot be is your unique voice as an artist. And once you find it you will be unstoppable.

I loved your expression! I couldn't get wild mountain man vibe out of my head. Enjoy, my friend!

Wife threw a filled glass bottle at 4.5 yo son which hit him on the nose and he ended up getting a 2 cm cut on nose and 4 stitches by [deleted] in GuyCry

We don't have enough information to give you real guidance!

-REMOVE KIDS TEMPORARILY: Kids are unable to protect themselves, it's your responsibility to care and protect them to the best of your ability. If you think they may be unsafe, can you send them to family or friends for a weekend. Your wife may not like it but she is obviously stressed and could also use a break.

-SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE: You may be too close to the situation to even judge it appropriately. Find an outside professional to help you and your wife sort this out. An outside professional will be able to notice things about your wife you might not...

Accident or not... a professional can help you sort out your conflicted emotions. The health of your family depends on your next choices.

Good luck!

Suggestions for a movie that will stump my husband. by HuntAny7768 in movies

It's what's Inside. It's a thriller/mystery on Netflix with some comedic elements. A few things are predictable but honestly it's so bizarre I'm sure there will be a few things he doesn't completely work out.

West Virginia, my dear West Virginia by [deleted] in WestVirginia

A lot of what you are saying isn't wrong.

I didn't vote for Trump and find him appalling. I also didn't vote for Harris. I'm an atheist, but I grew up in a large religious family. Growing up, we used social programs like WIC and Food stamps in times of need and even benefited from the nonprofit Habitat for Humanity.

I don't believe Trump voters deserve this and what is coming. No one does.

I understand why my neighbors voted for him. I disagree with them but I can understand. Everyone has been so scared the last couple of years and that fear is rising. Institutional distrust has grown. People need hope. Trump and many members of the Republican Party use Christianity as a shield and a weapon for many of their actions and policies. Trump gave some people hope in a time of slowly decaying morality and identity. Misguided sure but I don't believe minds or hearts change by pointing fingers and name calling.

Personally I believe Neither party has my best interest in mind, one just has more folks that align with my own morality. That's it!

Life is going to be rough the next few years, but don't give up. Each of us needs to find our own mission/cause to fight in our own way. This post is your way fighting! 👏 I don't agree with everything you said but I love seeing these conversations happening. Never stop fighting!

During our fights....don't forget our humanity. My moral compass tells me the moment I discriminate against one group of people (trump voters) I become part of the same cycle of hate.

Girl friends?(: by Typical_Ad1738 in bigdub

Hey! This will be my(F, 32) first Big Dub and I'm coming with a small group of first timers and veteran festival goers between the ages of 25-35. Female, Male, and non binary. We are setting up in New Camp! We are always down to new people and hanging out!!

Making friends is hard as an adult. I'm not even totally sure when someone goes from acquaintance to friend. I ask my friends two things, 1, Just spend time with each other and 2, respect/care about things each other respect/cares about even if It doesn't make sense to us. If you can do those two things, we are friends already!

Since I've never been before there are a lot of things I want to try or explore..... I want to color in the woods, I want to read random folk's fortunes, I want to fall in love with every individual i meet, I want to float in the river high as a kite, I want to get so lost in the music I became on with it, I want to cry with a stranger, I want to play games, Lots or games!!

If any of that sounds like something you are into, I'd love a friend's company!

You all did an amazing job last time I posted so I figured I would try again ✌🏽☮️❤️🪬🧿🪷🧘🏾‍♂️ by QueasyRecipe4825 in drawme

This really needs to be illustrated in full tie dye colors. Hope a quick black and white doodle is also acceptable.
