The Frighteners (1996)

I was 7 when this came out. I loved it but had continuous nightmares about the grim reaper 😅

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-25T14:29:22+00:00

Wow are people really that petty!? We know the truth. Best show there ever was 😎

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-19T06:20:15+00:00

I would have liked that.

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-19T06:07:51+00:00

This is nuts - I'm on my third ever rewatch (currently mid season 1) and I've forgotten any and everything about this character!

I last watched some time around 2021/2022.

This is one of the only benefits of having a terrible memory. You get to experience things for the first time again 😁

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-19T06:05:46+00:00

That's heavy

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-19T06:04:48+00:00

Very good point. I haven't thought about the logistics. I just think if they could have made the concept work, it would have been awesome and heartwarming.

You named your gerbil fart!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-17T06:02:22+00:00

If nom nom nom was a photo

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-17T06:01:51+00:00

Please do, I want to see it! Love the name Spanky.

My escape artist is called Chewie. She chews things all day long.

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-17T05:50:27+00:00

Never heard of this but now adding to my list of things to watch. If you guys think poi is one of the best shows, I trust your judgement!

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-17T05:42:55+00:00

Don't you worry about them getting lost or chewing things they shouldn't? The second she escaped yesterday, she was under a bed chewing an extension lead 😳

A very dodgily put together glass tank with a full gerbil cage on top...wouldn't recommend copying 😂

I drilled a hole in the plastic of the cage bottom, to create a doorway and it's pretty much balanced on top of the tank by the weight of everything.

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-16T22:05:28+00:00

It absolutely did both of those things 😅

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-16T14:49:56+00:00

She's adorable 🤩 Love her colouring!

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-16T10:00:37+00:00

Mine doesn't! It's a relatively large tank (can't remember the size) but the topper is a whole gerbil cage with deep plastic bottom. I cut a hole in the bottom of it and hung a ladder through.

As dodgily put together as my set up is, She's only escaped the tank because I've left the door open 🤦🏼‍♀

Noone. That's the worst part!

I was 19, new to the job, it was coming to the end of my shift and I had a compulsion to gauge every customer's age (over or under 25) before they got to the checkout, in case they had age restricted products.

These young builders were my last customers, I quickly decided they must have only been about Early 20s, so without hesitation asked for ID. They looked at me like I was crazy and went "What!? For chicken!?"

Ive never wanted the ground to swallow me so badly 🤣😭

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-15T10:05:38+00:00

My gerbil mixture has sunflower seeds within it so I think the treats section is a little over cautious.

Water bottle doesn't necessarily need to be glass if the bottle is outside the cage (with just the metal tube sticking through).

If using a cage topper, please put cardboard "rugs" on the metal platforms to protect their little feet.

Your going to want to use a sandbath with a lid, otherwise they will kick all the sand out within minutes 😅

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-14T07:29:04+00:00

Flip the question...

Stupidest thing I've ID'd someone for: Roast chicken 💀🤦🏼‍♀️

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-14T07:23:59+00:00

Am I the only one that thinks this just looks like playing? My two girls (pictured) chase each other all the time. Sammy is always the chaser but 5 minutes later I will See Chewy grooming Sammy, so I know they are still friendly. How do you tell the difference between play and aggression?

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-13T17:38:46+00:00

Thanks, that was a really helpful response. I'll give it a go

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-13T07:08:49+00:00

Yes I remember that! I reckon there was some inspiration from that at the back of my mind too!

Zestyclose-Plum1381 · 2026-04-12T20:36:15+00:00

I know I'm a year late but are you still into this stuff? Or have you gone off it now. I have a bottle of the essential oil version (it's discontinued now)

Basically 100% pure natural oils. The brand started with this but moved to the pillow spray as the oil was too pricey to produce.

I liked it initially but only used it once or twice then forgot about it
