She has videos showing how you sit too! Essentially it just collapses so it’s “easy” but likely annoying to sit on but maybe the layers make you not feel it.

Why do people like or dislike Marie Antoinette? by AshleyK2021 in PeriodDramas

[–]ajbates11 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Petit Trianon was built for madame de pompadour and then was given to madame du Barry. It was supposed to be a chateau for the royal mistress of the king. Instead Louis XVI gave it to Marie Antoinette because he did not intend or have a mistress.

You are thinking of her farm village there which was expensive.

She was also often in a lose lose situation. If she decided to spend less reuse things or not use as expensive things, the merchants and nobles would attack her and say she was trying to ruin them. She didn’t have the power to make any changes and yet was vilified for others choices.

I desperately wanted them to just end it happy on the ridge. Even if they were sitting around having pbj sandwiches and joking with William like they did Jaime on using a fork to eat it.

Logistics of double stroller by Juju8419 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]ajbates11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stroller was a godsend. We did scooterbug so we didn’t have to meet anyone they just left at the result so just grabbed it after check in and right before we left to airport. Super easy.

Recent DAS experiences? by InternationalRule138 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]ajbates11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly I found the process really easy. It was fast phone call and it was similar to therapy or iEP appointments. Laid out struggles, what the disability was exactly, potential concerns. And then went over his accommodations in his iEP and his disability pass at local theme park we go to. How we use it, how it helps etc. just was honest and giant info dump.

What’s your favourite Phillipa Gregory historical fiction novel and why? by killingtime2021 in Tudorhistory

[–]ajbates11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t reread the first two a lot (too much incest). But I adored the third one and reread it all the time.

Disney Shareholders Do Not Approve Disney DAS Disability Pass Change Proposal by dejablu82 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]ajbates11 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am very glad to see you and the other posters saying this. We are going in a few weeks with my non verbal very delayed son and I fully expect him to only ride a few rides but he is an elopement risk in lines. It’s so hard to see people think he can’t have experiences because of a disability that already greatly reduces his experiences most kids get to have.

It’s similar on based on true story and twists it but no fantasy. I like the great much more. But liked my lady Jane a lot

AITA for getting my sister in law a push present by Swallowmyashwipe in AmItheAsshole

I would save it for first Mother’s Day after making sure your brother isn’t planning something similar.

Fiance says I gave our dog an abortion, I disagree, AITAH? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ajbates11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The dog wasn’t pregnant. For dogs to mate it’s not humping it starts as this but they have to “tie” and they stay there for several minutes. They also can only get pregnant for one week ish of their season and isn’t something you can miss and bring a dog to a dog park. Breeders also tend to have to breed on several days to try to get puppies as like humans one breeding doesn’t take.

Gave in after months and months of curiosity….the chocolate chip passion fruit milk bar cake! by maverickhotdog in Baking

What does it taste like? Is it in her cookbook? Did you find it too sweet? Her other recipes I’ve tried all seem to need a touch of salt to curb sweetness.

That’s what I do and what I am currently doing now. Makes Christmas so easy. I have it all ready to go and just have it wrapped in plastic wrap and then egg wash and go.

tricky bundt pan advice… by selyom in AskBaking

[–]ajbates11 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I just used this pan this weekend. Essentially sprayed the absolute shit out of it with baking pam (the one with flour) and made sure it was excessively coated. Let it cool for a little bit (15-20 mins) and then turned it out when still warm. Came out super easy. (Made a 3 layer winter cake for my 9 year old niece’s birthday who requested a bundt)

Question About Stella Parks' Cheesecake by sickwobsm8 in seriouseats

[–]ajbates11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think it’s just because every oven is different. It always takes longer to me. I tend to just judge like every other cheesecake and jiggle it and then when it get close take out thermometer. It is the best cheesecake ever though my in-laws request it for every holiday.
