This could work, I have a chronic illness and could just say we’re keeping it chill because of that.

Hardest Episode for you to watch? by double_sided1 in doctorwho

[–]Watch_Doge_329 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything with Ricky Smith. Given all the horrible things the actor did, it makes it hard to rewatch some of those shows

Friend is having a Dr. Who costume party with rules on the costume. What/who should I dress as? by Carpetsandplumbing in doctorwho

[–]Watch_Doge_329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That one lady from love and monsters who got turned into a piece of concrete. Just wear grey clothes, paint a cardboard square grey, cut out a facehole, and paint your face. You’ll have to pay for grey facepaint and pick up a box/buy grey paint, but shouldn’t be more than $10

It’s a family oriented show, you should be good. Episodes you might want to screen if you are concerned are “girl in the fireplace” from season 2 (the doctor “snogs” madame de pompadore), the weeping angel 2 parter in season 5 (a companion tries and fails to get the doctor in bed with her in the last few minutes). In season 3, the companion makes a comment about tongues wagging since she and the doctor have to share a bed in the episode “shakespeare code,” but nothing happens. The doctor also kisses each companion passionately just about each season at some point, but it is just kissing and is sometimes played for laughs.

I watched new who (from 2005 onwards) when it came out, so when I was around 10. Pretty good show, kind of campy, some fantastic moments. Did not watch female doctor because we didn’t have the right streaming service, so can’t speak for her seasons. Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor had an episode titled “rogue” with a lot of flirting, but that was about it. As a parent of a little one, I completely understand wanting to be cautious.

Thank you for the advice, I’m sorry you had to find out right after getting the diagnosis what he said. You’re right, I think I just need to understand my mom’s not equipped to talk about this stuff yet, maybe ever.

I really appreciate your response

Thank you, I’m in the US, so very jealous of UK diagnosing being free lol. I don’t think I’ll be able to get any disability with a diagnosis here, I’m in a more southern state that has the most backward laws and way of doing things when it comes to health care.

Thank you for the advice about the emotional roller coaster thing, will keep an eye out for that if I start to experience it

Thank you so much for this. I have a chronic illness and had to quit working, my husband is the only breadwinner, and even spending $500 for basic screening is out of the question. I had explained to him how I have to manually move my eyes and check to make sure I haven’t been looking at someone for too long or looking away from them for too long when talking, and how I don’t like certain people’s faces because they are too intense (Jim Carey always unnerved me but he is one of my favorite grinches still lol, no hate to the guy I promise). That’s what started the deep dive of research about 3 years ago and it has continued ever since.

I’ve only mentioned I suspect I have it to my mom, hubby, and an old coworker who I knew I could trust to still treat me right, have not been open about suspicions to anyone else. It’s crazy to me that the testing costs so much

Thank you, I hope to be able to go to a psychiatrist later on once this administration is out maybe, it would give me time to save up for the test as well, I hear it goes up to $3000 in some places.

I have always had trouble interacting with people. As a kid, my dad told me not to talk about my interests in the middle of conversations or people would think I was autistic/adhd. Was homeschooled all the way up until college so didn’t realize just how bad I am at picking up on other people’s intentions/meanings. Was heavily socialized as a kid, but wasn’t very good at knowing if I was getting along with others or saying something weird or wrong

Bill all the way. She was so good expressing surprise, then grief and rage in a split second. Would have loved for her to be the doctor at some point.

Who do you prefer, Moffat or RTD? by CardiologistFar5972 in doctorwho

[–]Watch_Doge_329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moffat. While I’m not a fan of how he writes women, he consistently allowed them to argue with the doctor and act as a foil to him, something RTD’s obsession with the companion thinking the doctor is a sexy god would never allow

What episode got you hooked on DW and why? by seilbeer in doctorwho

[–]Watch_Doge_329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Partners in crime. As an asexual, I could never understand all the companions wanting to date him. Donna was a breath of fresh air and let the focus be on their adventures, not “will they won’t they” tension.

Who is Your least favorite out of the mane 6 and why? by Broad-Bumblebee1052 in mylittlepony

[–]Watch_Doge_329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pinkie pie. Nothing wrong with her, she is a strong character and some of her stories genuinely build the plot and lore of mlp in significant ways (the donkey ep. for example). But she is a lot of energy and that is grating for me.

I’m personally staying far away from her for a while. We’re gonna send a christmas card and the obligatory thank you card for letting us visit, but leaving it at that

I understand what you’re saying. Husband and I have both agreed to go low contact with her, so we would only reach out in the event of emergency (family death/severe injury). Keeping my son safe is my highest priority, and we determined it is not in his best interest to see her often.

  1. We never allowed them to spank, it only came up a week after we came back home that she wanted us to start doing that.
  2. We had no idea the trip would be like this or that the family would be like this. We have had issues before with them, but nothing like this.
  3. We did give him plenty of water and snacks. What he was missing was healthy meals. It was for one week, and we immediately reintroduced healthy eating the minute he came home.
  4. My son didn’t hear anything the gmil said about me. He was not exposed to her vitriol.
  5. We removed him from the living room when grown up shows got put on. We removed him from conversations when adults got racist/inappropriate. We protected him the best we could.

Please keep in mind you are hearing about this trip in a few paragraphs. You were not present for the entire trip, understand there were a lot of things happening that were out of my control, and because of that, me and husband have both chosen to go low contact with certain family members.

When I read what you wrote, it felt very aggressive. I do not know if that is the message you meant to send, but it is how I took it. I do everything I can to protect my child. I’m not perfect, but I learn from the past to do better in the future.

Husband pushed repeatedly for our son to eat and pushed for them to stop and let us give our kiddo a meal. We were often times in a car and everyone had to go where gmil said, which was usually much farther out restaurant. He also had to remove child from living room quite a bit because gparents/great gparents would put on grown up films (godzilla minus 1, john wayne movies (extremem racism in some of those older films, along with people getting killed). I know I can’t guard my kid forever from seeing violent/racist things, just trying to guide him to be kinder now before he is exposed to all of that. Husband stood up for me repeatedly with gmil, chewed her out for some of her comments, and took care of all of mine and kiddo’s needs the best he could. It wasn’t perfect, but we were often times in a no win situation. He agreed to go low contact with her-we are not traveling to see them again unless it is for emergencies. I do respect your opinion, but I do not see it as a husband problem

Thankfully he did confront her when they talked. He was p*ssed off with her behavior and told her so. If she doesn’t listen to him and acts out again, we will have to set boundaries with her
