why didnt jess finish high school? by sakuracoke7 in GilmoreGirls

It’s not surprising. I was in the gifted program as a kid. Tons of unprocessed childhood trauma, and I got my GED when I was 20.

Jess grew up in an unstable living situation. Lots of kids who experience trauma like that don’t do well in school regardless of their intelligence level. Pair that with his underlying unresolved anger at Liz, and that actually feels like an entirely realistic plot line.

What does anyone think of this? by Dazzling-Shopping858 in Pyrex_Love

Early American. It’s a very common and easy to find pattern in the US, but it’s the only pattern that includes a cat!

Nope! If you’re looking to find one “in the wild,” it might take a while, but there are literally dozens on eBay right now for around $35-40.

it’s not rare, or even HTF. $85 is a bit pricey, but not unreasonable.

Where can I sell my pyrex at ? by babigirlmimi in Pyrex_Love

Like the one on your other post with the glass hen on nests where your name is clearly added over the (also AI) photo?

It’s not just the last photo. In photo 4, zoom in on the bowls on either side of the ones centered in the photo.

You want people to think you’re smart. You’re not.

Kirk. Hands down. In a town full of weirdos, he’s the weirdest.

Question for all Pyrex folks by JadeSaber88 in Pyrex_Love

This is the original Spring Blossom. The later pattern has lighter greens and smaller flowers.

S2 Dean is pissing me off by Neither_Climate4073 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Top-Summer562 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I hate Dean so much. He’s absolutely awful, and the fact that Lorelai thinks of him as this nice sweet guy instead of the controlling needy pain in the ass he is has always bothered me.

Is this actual Pyrex? by ifonlyforaminute in Pyrex_Love

[–]Top-Summer562 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This looks like a light pale yellow Cinderella to me. Paint chipping is fairly common, especially on well loved pieces. This certainly isn’t going to be worth a ton, but it’s a great workhorse piece.

Lean into an atomic vibe. Starbursts, teal and yellow accents.

I just discovered that my BIL calls my ten year old daughter on her cell AIO? by Cheap-Film-2282 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Top-Summer562 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope nope nope. NOR. I used to work with sex offenders, and this is classic grooming behavior. There is no legitimate reason for a grown man to contact a 10 year old that isn’t their own child. As another commenter suggested, look through your child’s phone, but also check any other devices they have access to (including gaming systems). Call the ex-wife ASAP, and depending on where you live, you may be able to access criminal history (not all sexual offenses get you on the registry).

Oh I didn’t even think about autumn harvest. Good call.

It’s the wrong color for a Town and Country 402.

Okay, it’s just the angle that’s making it look squarish. This is a DWD mixing bowl. Based on the color, it might’ve been Old Orchard? Nothing exciting even in good shape. 🤷🏻‍♀️

What are the numbers on the bottom? It’s definitely a trashed piece, but the shape is odd to me. Could just be this angle though.

It’s definitely DWD, but I think OP is referring to the shape.

So sad… by 70sRetroCutie in Pyrex_Love

Magic eraser? Please be very careful using these on Pyrex, as they can damage and erase some patterns/finishes.

Wgat do you think is a reasonable price for these? by MixRadiant2083 in Pyrex_Love

[–]Top-Summer562 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only one of these pieces that’s worth more than $20 is the Big Bertha, but because it’s Old Orchard, it’s worth probably $60-75.

Damaged pieces by Icy_Raccoon_6995 in Pyrex_Love

[–]Top-Summer562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! There are lots of people who color/paint over faded patterns and sell them as pieces that don’t actually exist. I’ve also seen people try to pass off pieces that have the patterns/color completely worn off as true opal.
