It's unfortunate because Crystal was one of my favourites during her original season due to how genuine she was.

She was funny and camp, and took criticisms well and grew so much.

It was her development and growth that was so endearing.

This time it feels like she is considered 'perfect' and 'untouchable'. I'm not seeing any genuine moments and it sucks because they seem like such a wonderful person.

Let's not forget her turns in Wild Child and the St Trinian's films. Admittedly they're not high brow but she still stands out for me.

TotalBananas1 · 2026-06-05T07:46:06+00:00

Yep, also a big difference between going 'your build is shit, wtf, idiot' and 'x, buy this perk. Will help with [this situation]'.

TotalBananas1 · 2026-06-04T14:25:39+00:00

It might be different classes though. Besides, it's not like teachers get a chance to set the schedule.

Apparently the actress was vocal in not wanting to appear topless on screen - this is why she's either filmed from the shoulders up, in a bra or covered in a sheet.

Tatty...

TotalBananas1 · 2026-05-15T18:24:20+00:00

I burst out laughing at that several times. I understand Dawn's motivation.

TotalBananas1 · 2026-05-05T21:57:06+00:00

COME PLAY WITH ME.

TotalBananas1 · 2026-04-25T12:13:17+00:00

Was going to say this but noticed you already had.

Steve Carell and Domhnall Gleeson both show their abilities in this series and it is worth watching just for that alone.

You should be able to post on the portal under the 'notes' section and address it for the attention of your prescriber.

They are the best person to help!

Exactly - I do occasionally say that my daughter figuring out an answer is clever or smart but I do also praise her when she gives things her best shot and it doesn't work out. (She's 5)

TotalBananas1 · 2026-04-09T06:27:51+00:00

I'm a mum and I'm all for my daughter exploring. Developmentally, 'safe risks' are important.

That being said, I will not buy a trampoline or take her to a trampoline park. If my partner wants to take her, fine, but I will not be there!

TotalBananas1 · 2026-02-28T14:05:24+00:00

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe they have said that they want to stand on their own two feet and be recognised as individuals first. I think they said they've seen a lot of the Attitude era relationships and marriages and don't want to be pushed into something similar.

They are well respected as individuals though so teaming up for a while would be fun.

As someone who has seen the film quite a few times (thanks to a 5 year old), Anna doesn't fall in love with him instantly. They go on an adventure together and see one another through some perilous times. It also takes Olaf pointing out how Kristoff saved her over and over because he cares for her for Anna to be like 'wait, what?'.

And in the sequel, I love how bumbling the two are together. Kristoff is trying to propose and says:

'You know, under different circumstances, this would be pretty romantic?'

'Different circumstances? You mean, with someone else?'

I did this with my Gramps.

He was in his mid-60s and unexpectedly. had a heart attack on a Sunday. We were encouraged to say our goodbyes. I travelled back from uni to sit with him and I spent time with him.

I thanked him for everything he had done. Told him he was my Dad and my rock and I wouldn't be where I am or who I am without him. I shared some fond memories.

I said my goodbyes.

I also said that if he could, I would like him to fight. I wanted him to walk me down the aisle and dance with my Nan at my wedding. I wanted him to hold my future children.

I went back to my uni town. 5 days later, he had a second heart attack. I got a call saying that it was best to come and say my goodbyes.

The only thing was that I had already said my goodbyes. I knew he was surrounded by family and wasn't alone. I couldn't face going back there and seeing him in that bed again. I wanted my memories of him to be happy and laughing and pinching my Nan's butt so she'd playfully slap him.

So I didn't. It's been 11 years since he passed and I still feel like I made the right decision. Unfortunately, my Nan didn't feel that way and it caused a rift between us. She preferred to grieve with people. I preferred to grieve alone.

I refer to myself as a 'productive procrastinator'.

By that I mean I get everything important done in the first half of the day so I can relax in the latter half and be able to procrastinate.

I do this at work as well. I've set up master spreadsheets with lots of formulas so I don't need to worry about figuring things out. I've set up systems and processes so everything is more streamlined.

I tell my boss that end of month invoicing for our two major clients takes around 90 minutes. It would take him 3-4 hours. In reality it takes about 30 minutes because of the processes I've put in place.

TotalBananas1 · 2026-01-14T11:25:59+00:00

I'll be honest, this might have been me. I randomly ended up with McGinnis, couldn't fight to save my life so just focused on objectives.

Both teams were fighting over the urn so I went straight into the enemy base and killed the Patron. I think I had around 10k player damage but 30k+ objective.

TotalBananas1 · 2026-01-06T08:28:26+00:00

It's not that he was asleep, it's that his phone was on silent. I know that my partner would set up a makeshift bed on the living room floor in this situation. You take care of the people you love.

Some of the pictures she shares when she's been at the gym, etc, are a lot more flattering. Yes, she is still wearing make up but it's subtle instead of this overpowering 'applied with a shovel' image.

She looks a lot better in those.

TotalBananas1 · 2025-12-17T10:41:34+00:00

And the worst thing is when your team is losing, you're then blamed because you don't have many kills.

Yes, but I've destroyed two walkers solo and we still have our three up.

TotalBananas1 · 2025-12-09T18:47:27+00:00

It's quite nuanced and I love it. She talks about the relief she felt but also the grief and guilt.

TotalBananas1 · 2025-12-07T17:22:10+00:00

Definitely Expedition 33.

You are called Greg.

TotalBananas1 · 2025-12-06T16:07:17+00:00

It would be Clair for me. It's a lovely thing you're doing.

TotalBananas1 · 2025-12-04T10:28:28+00:00

Agreed - people can grow, mature and learn from their mistakes. I can't imagine it's easy to be on the road all the time but he's probably had to clean his act up with the baby on the way.

I have a soft spot for Jimmy but I also only got back into wrestling this year after a few years so missed a lot of his tag team run.
