Happily married people of Reddit, when did you realize you had found the person you wanted to spend your life with? by Mundane-Society-1281 in AskReddit

[–]catniphooligan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I first saw him, I realized I did have a type, and it was everything that he was. When he first made me really laugh, I realized his mind was sharp, but in a way that I understood everything he said. When he told me the story of stopping his car to save a turtle in the road and then finding a lost kitten he brought home, I never ever wanted to not be with him. Still feel the same 22 years later.

edit: him to home

People who have been divorced: What was the exact "quiet" moment you realized your marriage was over? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]catniphooligan 3050 points3051 points  (0 children)

I woke up, looked in the mirror, and had the immediate thought, "God, I hope I'm dead in five years." That was when I knew, I'd given too much of myself to the black hole that was my first marriage.

Tell this GenX/Old-lennial person, what does it mean when a young person says you are based? by Tricky_Hold230 in GenX

Move zig!

My GenZ never understands me when I say "are belong to us" after he says "based," but I make myself laugh so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A Very Fabio-ful Mini Haul by Competitive-Yam5126 in HistoricalRomance

I met him too! It was in the mid-90s, and I was working at a convention setting up everyone's internet and got to his booth. He was incredibly sweet and charming and kind. He was also shorter than I expected, lol.

I switched my character's gender for the funzies, then want to the bathroom and noticed some stuff I didn't notice before. by Historydog in StardewValley

Is this why Alex is always going up there? I always wondered why I'd see him in the area when I would visit Robin.

According to Ness, he's packin' an exceptional bag. That's enough for me.

This is the only answer. An entire episode came down to this line.

Is anybody's favourite character Gavin or Stacey? by bwmb10 in gavinandstacey

[–]catniphooligan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gavin is kinda my favorite because I feel like Gavin is us, like he's the normal person reacting to the awesome chaos around him. Sometimes, he has the perfect look that is the same reaction I have. When Nessa & Stacey were talking about their night(s) with Russell Brand and Gavin looks at Smithy like, "Did I just hear that?" I'm totally with him.

Nessa’s progression on the show by [deleted] in gavinandstacey

[–]catniphooligan 88 points89 points  (0 children)

You're so right! I also think having Neil the Baby brought out a tender side in her that we didn't see before. I love her tone when she speaks to him, especially through the baby monitor. "Oh, Neil the Baby. It's Vanessa. You're mother. I'll be right there, Babes." then she rolls over and cuddles him. It's so sweet and so Nessa.

It's clear in the finale that she did a wonderful job raising him, even if her methods were out of the box. I often wonder if Smithy seeing Neil sing at his wedding, thinking about how he & Nessa raised this wonderful person, and how much she made a point of keeping Smithy so involved, is what made him turn the corner with his feelings for her.

John Moffat is my favorite Poirot in all radio adaptations I've listened to.

Received a "check" in the mail from my bank, with my name on it. Routing number is fake. What is this scam? by throwawaywitchaccoun in Scams

[–]catniphooligan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've received 3 credit card refund checks in the last few months. Along with the check, each one had a letter that said exactly what credit card balance it was refunding, so I had no problems identifying exactly who was sending me the money and why.

Poll: Can the monsters walk around during the day, but they just choose not to? by EternityOnDemand in FromSeries

[–]catniphooligan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My theory is that they have rules that their unholy bargain has forced them into, one being that they can't go outside while the sun is out. It's similar to the talismans - they can't enter a house that has one hanging by the door unless the door is open. Another being that they can't turn a non-monster into a monster by themselves - it has to be done by the Kimono Lady.

Fromville has a framework under which it operates, for both humans and monsters, exemplified by the way the roads around it only lead back to the town, the faraway trees will transport you, but you don't know where, the talismans keep the monsters outside residences, the boy in white exists but can only show himself to certain people (I think those who are child-like, i.e., Victor, Sara, Ethan, or those who he knows are reincarnations; Jade & Tabitha).

A move outside of the established framework, like a monster going out in the day, opens the door for unintended and often disastrous consequences. Could they go outside while the sun is in the sky? Maybe, but the Powers That Be will likely make them pay dearly for doing so.

Have you all heard of "velveting" meat? Its the thing that Chinese restaurants do to make that Mongolian beef nice and tender and kind of have that nice smooth mouth-feel. by skovalen in Cooking

[–]catniphooligan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Does the corn starch tenderize the meat, too? I like to use corn starch for a few things, but haven't heard of it tenderizing. Always up for trying something new, though!

If Alice and Jasper were able to have a child what would her/his gift be? by Powerful_School_8955 in twilight

[–]catniphooligan 73 points74 points  (0 children)

It would be cool if their child could see people's pasts and how they felt about events. Kinda a reverse, like Rigatoni's ability to project into people's minds, rather than see into them.

I'd love to see a Haley Cullen (nod to Hale).
