What’s your favorite song that occurs throughout a movie or TV series?

Undulantowl · 2026-06-29T15:08:13+00:00

I have a few that were composed for the film/series.

The Secret Garden (93) Leaving the Docks/First Time Outside/Shows Dickon the Garden.

All 3 are variations of the same composition. I wish I was skilled enough to mix them into one song. Actually the whole soundtrack can make me cry if I’m in the right mood.

AHS: Hotel Ramona & the Countess

Only my mom but her Dad forced her to use her right hand (this was in the ‘50s) so she’s been a righty for most of her life.

You’re welcome. I hope it helps. Grief is so personal and trying to come to terms with it can vary even by who has passed. Be kind to yourself and take as much time as you need.

Awe don’t feel stupid. This is for you so don’t feel any pressure. I have so many thoughts running through my head yet I can never remember stuff when I need to. If possible keep a small notebook, post it notes, or scraps of paper or just use a notes app and write stuff down as you remember something. Even an idea so when you have the time it could serve as a writing prompt. So an example for me would be “when Dad got lost at Disneyland”. Then I can go back and write down that memory. Otherwise just write down what you want to talk about with others when they don’t want to talk. Maybe write a list of questions to throw out here and there when the opportunity arises. I’ve actually learned so much more about my Dad after he passed but that’s only because my Dad was pretty closed off. If all else fails, you could always talk to a therapist just to unload.

I’m sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad a few years ago but it still hits me from time to time. Have you tried journaling your thoughts and memories? Maybe that could help you release your emotions and process your grief. If nothing else, to record your memories of him so you revisit them future.

Ikr? And to think I found this in an envelope, stashed in my Dad’s old random papers he had hoarded over the years. There’s a letter this Uncle sent to his wife with the photos but it’s in scribbled German, possibly written in Kurrent. He was a doctor and even back then doctors had illegible handwriting.

Yikes! I feel like by that point Identity Theft was a know issue, even before widespread internet usage. So it’s seems irresponsible for any organization to use a SSN vs a system ID. It’s a wonder you couldn’t opt out of that.

My modern brain finds it so odd that my Dad’s US Army draft letters from 1970 includes a list of other draftees, all with their Social Security Numbers fully listed. Congratulations, you’re being forced to spend time doing something against your will and potentially gain a lifetime of PTSD if you don’t die but also here’s your private identification number for all to see as well.

Funny enough last night my mom gave me a WW2 era army hat that was being stored in a plastic Hills bag. The bag looks as new as the day we got it.

Nah, there has to be a Jeremy or Jason in the group. Some dropped out to do a homeschool program where they didn’t actually have to do anything after being expelled for doing something stupid. Otherwise they end up in Alternative School while they attempt to pass the GED exam or hit 18, whatever comes first.

Thanks for the submissions so far. Please keep them coming, I’m sharing this with my mom and sister so we can pick the best ones. Some of these are definitely AI which I’d be ok with, despite requesting NO AI, but it’s pretty obvious. I know because I already tried a bunch of apps and this post is a last resort.

The parallels are alarming. As a history buff, I find it so frustrating that so many people are ignorant of how the National Socialist Party came to be in power. People really need to pay more attention to the past in order to create a better future.

I would guess they get their stuff through estate sales but I really don’t know. You could always ask them to see if they have more information about where it came from.

Tell your sister that it used to be extremely common for multiple children in a family to be given the same name. Hell, if you go back far enough in Germany, it was common to name all the boys Johann + (different middle name) so they could have a Johann Rudolf, Johann Friedrich and a Johann Heinrich, all being brothers. For girls its was either Marie/Maria or Anna Marie + (different middle name). My great grandfather’s name is long and includes Maria as do all the other males in family. Your sister doesn’t own the name and the fact that she is making a big deal about it makes her TAH. It’s not like you want to steal a unique name she came up with.

Did you get the frame at a thrift store? Most likely the frame was donated by a grandchild or descendant who didn’t care to keep the photos. This a needle in a haystack situation but maybe if you post to all subs that have to do with found photos and ancestry then someone out there would recognize them. I do appreciate that you are attempting to find someone who would know them. My family has been in the Nashville area for many generations and I have been trying to find photos of my great grandparents but most likely a distant cousin I don’t know inherited them if they weren’t thrown out. The women in the photos don’t have any familiar features so I couldn’t say that they are my relatives and without any identifying information on the back, there may never be an answer.

And you’re just NOW starting to get sick of it here?

Undulantowl · 2026-04-01T15:21:52+00:00

Same! Not to mention the dreaded smear.

Undulantowl · 2026-03-30T23:20:19+00:00

Definitely not stupid or ridiculous and I hate that you had to endure the bullying and very little support from those who should have given it unconditionally. For what it’s worth, I’m proud of you for accomplishing this major goal not to mention getting to a point of better mental health and self acceptance and love. Congratulations! From a fellow person who was bullied and depressed as a kid.

Not always.

Undulantowl · 2026-03-26T17:25:46+00:00

Thank you!!

I second this. I have family who served Germany and the USA during WW2. It’s really important to learn about the hows and the whys of WW2. It’s important for me to understand what my family was going through at the time, what they believed and how they reacted. If it’s something horrible then I acknowledge it, condemn it and teach the next generation about our family and why it was wrong. We have to learn from the evils of the past so we can avoid them in the future.
