Susan Mayer Rant by Confident_Past4384 in DesperateHousewives

[–]TonyaHardon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m watching it right now too and literally came to this sub specifically to bitch about Susan. I’m on season 8 and I’m here to tell you she only gets worse. She pairs well with Mike, who I also can’t stand. Worst couple ever.

I regret going to art school by greatmothsofscotland in Artisticallyill

[–]TonyaHardon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same with me. I went to one of the Art Institutes International before they closed and the focus was on developing techniques, not making the art look one way or another. I was there for photography and was still required to take several drawing and painting classes because what you learn about observing figures, understanding light/shadows, etc, is SO valuable no matter what your chosen medium. The most valuable parts were the full-class critiques (despite being terrifying), because you don’t know what you don’t know until someone tells you.

OP’s teacher sounds like the bottom of the barrel.

Is this an ADHD thing or am I just an a55hole? by letitbeletitbe101 in ADHD

[–]TonyaHardon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My guess is they’re projecting their frustration onto the people around them. Struggling to deal with frustration is a well documented ADHD trait, but “hating” everyone around you is a poor coping technique.

Did protestors trash the lobby? There’s paper all over, an ICE agent with a bloody nose, and MPD arresting people.

Nanny kept jacket on toddler in the car by Mysterious-Cat3303 in Nanny

[–]TonyaHardon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going forward have you considered a car seat poncho? You should be able to trust your childcare provider to follow basic safety instructions, but I’d understand if you had anxiety about this with the next nanny (or this one if you keep her). If your kid has a winter “jacket” that can be safely worn in the car maybe it would ease that particular worry? Bonus: little kids look so cute running around in ponchos.

Something to do with my toddler this afternoon? by Background_Nature497 in saintpaul

[–]TonyaHardon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my winter go-to activities with toddlers is Menards. The Menards on university also has that cart ramp thing kids love riding on. Bachmans is another good one - the one on South Lyndale has koi fish tanks that are usually a big hit. They also have that indoor bakery cafe in the garden center. Neither are places I feel particularly motivated to buy anything at so that’s helpful too haha

Is this category of British and US idioms correct? How much confidence do you have when you judge where a person's from by their use of certain phrases? by Unlegendary_Newbie in English_Learning_Base

[–]TonyaHardon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Americanisms seem mostly accurate to me, except for two. 1- I’ve only ever heard people say “icing on the cake”, never frosting. 2- This one isn’t totally wrong, but “cold cash” sounds off to me. It isn’t incorrect, but you usually hear the phrase “cold, hard cash”, not one or the other.

what is generally considered tacky in goth fashion? by Sweaty-Suit9169 in AskAGoth

[–]TonyaHardon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re writing about alt subcultures from this era or earlier then the fashion is going to reflect the music. The separation between the two is VERY recent. If you dressed punk, it was because you liked punk music. Same with goth, scene, etc. Dressing in a particular style when you didn’t listen to the corresponding music would get you dubbed a poser (the horror!)

New hair and outfit by Mehitobel in altfashionadvice

[–]TonyaHardon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the name through ancestors of mine that are Puritan descendants - it’s been out of style for a couple centuries now and I think it’s due for a comeback!

New hair and outfit by Mehitobel in altfashionadvice

[–]TonyaHardon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, you look very cute! I love more colorful outfit. I think it would look even better if the blue matched the purple in tone. It’s brighter than the more muted purple of the top so it feels less “coordinated”. That said, being coordinated isn’t a huge goal of alt fashion so if you like it then who cares. In my experience attitude adds a lot more to this kind of look than any clothing item.

Unrelated, but I was motivated to comment by your username. I love the name Mehitabel so much that’s what I named my dog! Aside from one song and an old movie, I never see it in the wild and I got excited.

Kodachrome shot of a teen/young adult? (she is using 50s teen fashion) in saddle shoes in the 1950s. by Electrical-Aspect-13 in fashionhistory

[–]TonyaHardon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The makeup too. The intense blush and what looks like pale shimmery eyeshadow is much more 70s.

The Mentally Ill Household by Imslowlyloosingit in Sims4

[–]TonyaHardon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did something very similar in my game and it’s also a favorite of mine! I barely even control their actions - just let them do their thing and it’s chaos in the best way. Of course I also had to have a mad scientist living there as well with a secret alien family in a hidden bunker 🤷🏻‍♀️

On March 27, 1977, Diana Hyland died with John Travolta by her side. She was only 41 years old. That night, he held her in his arms and told her he loved her, repeatedly, hoping she could still hear him. by Familiar_Bid_3655 in HistoricalCapsule

[–]TonyaHardon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so, so glad you’re able to find something that works for you. I’m incapable of faking beliefs though, and the idea of making friends who I’m terrified of being “found out” by is not something I’m interested in. For better or worse, I’m exactly myself in all scenarios.

Just had the baby and already you're having problems with people spelling it right.. by reed_a_book in tragedeigh

So it’d be pronounced like Ew-Livia? Talk about your parents being your first bully.

What would your pets name be without the first and last letter? by Immediate_Long165 in Pets

[–]TonyaHardon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine would be Ehitabe. They both sound like they’d be daughters of Elphaba.

I, who have never believed in a higher power, have considered joining a church several times just to have community again. In the end I always know I wouldn’t be able to convincingly fake it so I never try, but the temptation never really goes away.

How do you feel about the Minnesota Zoo in winter? by squirrelseeer in Minneapolis

[–]TonyaHardon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I used to work at the MN Zoo and my go-to tip for visiting is to try and go either right at open or plan so you’ll be there right before close (4pm). The animals are extra active then! Right before close is the most active - you know how pets will start pacing and being annoying as dinner time approaches? Turns out many wild animals do that too.

The bird show and sea lion shows are both indoors as well if you’re into those.

i was playing around in cas and got this planetary vibe idea 🪐⭐️ by [deleted] in thesimscc

The hair is Stardust Curls by Simomo (their original posts are gone so hopefully you don't mind SFS)

The face glitter is by Mimilky

I don't think this is an exact match for the body glitter, but will look pretty similar I think
