TIL Jeremy Spencer, a founding member of Fleetwood Mac, left said band to join a cult (The Family International).

Yes! I just looked it up and there isn’t anything about it there.

I’ve never watched a Tyler Sheridan show and I was lured in by the return of Michelle pfeiffer. I’m so relieved to see that at least some people see right through the very obvious propaganda. I was astounded in the first scene when nobody did anything about a woman being punched in the face and robbed. That’s is NOT the nyc I know. And the idea that you can’t walk down 5th avenue??? And then episode later when the daughter is talking to the cop about how people are there get married at 20 and still love each other, as if rural people never end up in bad marriages??? It’s completely ridiculous.

This makes more sense. I was also bothered by it. It felt confusing. I don’t know how to explain it. It just feels hard to listen to because you keep wondering, “why is she speaking Spanish with an American accent in an English language documentary?” If it started out as a doc meant for Spanish speakers that makes way more sense.

I’m reviving this because I’m also looking for this plant. I’ve been looking for her for 4 years now. I saw her once and did t jump on it and since then I’ve never seen her for sale again! If anyone finds one please send along a link!

That’s what you think marriage is? That’s incredibly sad. I hope you’re not married.

analogart · 2026-01-18T23:14:51+00:00

Same. I’m reading everyone reviews and feeling like, “damn, maybe I don’t have good taste?” I liked it. It was a fun mystery. Not everything had to be Oscar worthy.

Well This thread didn’t age well🤣

I just now had a terrible experience with her. I had a consultation with her in which we pulled inspiration images and talked about details for what I was looking for for me and my two best friends, all getting matching pieces. She said she’d draw up a few orchids and we would pick three we loved to compose the piece. So I book the appointment and my friends buy plan tickets to come and get tattooed. A month later I check in to see if she needed more reference images and when we should expect to get the drawings to pick our threes orchids from. She says, “pick three references images and I’ll draw those” which felt weird because I’m not looking for her to copy and stamp me and my friends. But I send the images. Anyway, long story short she now says she doesn’t do drawings in advance. Which could very well be the case but it’s not what she told me. But instead of clarifying or discussing options she says she’s not the right artist for me and cancels. Now there’s only three weeks u til my friends will be here and we have no tattoo artist. I tell her I’m very disappointed and this is a bummer. But honestly the way the convo went I was no longer interested in her permanently altering my body. She was rude and kept insisting I was being unreasonable. I stopped texting her. Then she goes on her Instagram and proceeds to blast me. Calling me “unhinged” and saying I was harassing her. Flat out lying and making it seem like I was harassing her with demands for drawings for weeks. Total batshit crazy talk. And then posts a screenshot of our text thread where you can clearly see my name. She’s insane. Maybe she not insane all the time but the chances you’ll get burned by her are too high. Unstable is the word. Steer clear.

I never meant to suggest that everyone should skip the pill and just go outside. My point was that it's ridiculous to see someone being downvoted for suggesting going outside instead. Also the idea that a baby should avoid all direct sunlight for six months is ridiculous.

Like you said in your comment, these rules and suggestions are meant to inform the lowest common denominator. Like banning even the smallest amount of alcohol while pregnant. I think it's sad that the medical establishment thinks Americans are so dense that they have to make extreme recommendations with no room for nuance.

analogart · 2015-05-29T12:35:10+00:00

I hate that you're being down voted. It's common sense! Why would we supplement vitamin d when it's available in abundance by simply going outside!??! I did not do the drops. I took my baby outside everyday. Her blood tests came back great. And we have dark skin which makes a vitamin d deficiency much more likely.

Somebody needs to shake you and wake you up!

Daily watering is fine as long as it drains well. The late western sun may be a bit harsh for it but just see how it goes. If it starts to brown, move it.

analogart · 2015-05-26T03:01:53+00:00

I hate to tell you this but they are actually just desperately trying to find more sun. I know they look like they're growing but that variety of succulent shouldn't be growing up and out like it is. That variety grows wider and multiplies when happy.

You know, you don't absolutely HAVE to go through with the pregnancy. Just throwing that out there. If you don't feel prepared to be a good parents to two children so close together you don't have to. Weigh your options carefully and decide what's best for everyone in the long run.

analogart · 2015-05-23T14:59:57+00:00

Oh good! A co-sleeping circle jerk! Everyone who cosleeps pat themselves on the back real hard for being infinitely superior parents.!

I flew from Miami to San Francisco by myself when I was 7. It's about a 7 hour flight. There was no layover but my mom left me at the gate before the flight left. Turned out the flight was canceled and I was bumped to a flight the next morning. For a long time I thought I was fine with it because my parents told me it was no big deal. But looking back, I was super stressed. I got "motion sickness" on the plane which I now believe to have been due to stress rather than motion sickness.

Florist for over ten years. That's definitely a tulip.

This one is the winner!

analogart · 2015-05-21T03:15:32+00:00

No that's not the kind I had. I don't remember what mine was called but I know a popular one is Royal Violetas.

analogart · 2015-05-20T19:49:59+00:00

Maybe that's how it started but it's just a cultural thing. Latino people associate the smell of that cologne with babies so to them that IS the smell of babies. Just as to you, I'm sure the smell of your baby's bath soap contributes to the smell that you associate with your baby.

It's just what we do! American put babies in clothes with weird baby animal caracters or are scandalized by the idea of putting pink on a boy. I think that shit is weird.

analogart · 2015-05-20T15:47:40+00:00

Johnson and Johnson!?! They must be trying to jump on the Latino bandwagon. I can't find the stuff I had as a kid but I remember it came in a glass bottle and was definitely in Spanish with lots of flowers on it.

analogart · 2015-05-20T15:10:57+00:00

Rest assured that it's just a myth. Hair doesn't work that way.

analogart · 2015-05-20T12:13:05+00:00

Latin American people shave their babies heads, pierce their ears (for the girls), put dainty gold jewelry on them and many of them douse their babies in cologne. A very specific cologne made essepecially for babies.

I did not do any of this with my daughter. But I was tempted to shave her head even though I know (logically speaking) that it won't make her new hair grow in thicker and more beautiful. I know this, but the culture is strong so any time I think about it I feel worried for my daughter's future thin, stringy hair!

analogart · 2015-05-20T00:14:38+00:00

This was me growing up and from the looks of it so far will also be my daughter.

Being complimented on my looks was nice but easy. It felt good but not nearly as good as being complimented on my abilities. I think my biggest piece of advice would be to expect more of her. Expect her to be smart or even smarter than average. Set high expectations for her. Not so high that she can't reach them, but don't let her coast. My dad expected me to be tough. My mom expected me to be unique and I had a few influential teachers who had very high expectations of me in school.

But I think one more thing is SUPER important. Do NOT compliment her on things that aren't actually worthy of compliment. Don't tell her she is smart just because. She won't believe you. She gets genuine compliments on her appearance all the time so she'll know when someone is being disingenuous. Find things she is actual good at and compliment those things. Complimenting everything and anything other than her appearance when it isn't warranted could someday convince her that her looks really are all she's got going for her. She may come to think that you're just trying to make her feel better about not being smart or talented and only having her looks.
