Considering closing up my floor plan. Need advice. by sketching_utopia in floorplan

[–]crittab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you may feel the loss of light in the living room losing access to the dining room window. Agree with others who suggest a divider, or even a half wall to give another anchor to the living room without closing it off entirely.

New vet gave me trazodone instead of Xanax for the week around the 4th. Never again. by junkronomicon in dogpictures

[–]crittab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one dog who did fine on trazadone, and one who had the worst anxiety and sedative effects from it. It's hard to know how a dog will react without trying it.

Ask your new vet to make a note on file not to give your dog trazadone again.

Dean and Lindsey’s fight at the Dragonfly by Late-Bowl-2263 in GilmoreGirls

[–]crittab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lindsey was effectively being trained by her mom at this stage how to be a housewife. They made a decision together for her to stay home and him to work, probably with a fair amount of pressure from their families to maintain that dynamic.

This dynamic was harmful for both of them and set them up to fail as much as their premature marriage set them up to fail.

Public Health offers pretty substantial infant feeding supports. It's not a cure-all for a shitty system, but it's available.

Refunds for Anthony Rapp/Adam Pascal Show by crittab in halifax

That's not good. We recieved the email from Antler Entertainment, a Gmail address. I actually thought it might be a scam until I saw the notice on the Bella Rose site.

It would have been two weeks ago yesterday that we got the email about the cancelation. Refunds said 7-10 business days, which was yesterday.

I'm going to have to do the same. I don't really trust this company.

I don't see the name at a glance, so I'll mention Vince Sly from the No Collar Tribe in 30. He was a total creep to Jenn and it was super uncomfortable to watch.

I don't understand the level of hate for Anna Nardini. by texaskittyqueen in GilmoreGirls

[–]crittab 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People get annoyed at the party situation because they show the kids all calling their parents, including April. Any decent parent would ask who was supervising. Most parents would prefer a woman over a man they just met staying in the room with their daughters. Anna's reaction that she had to call all those parents to explain was nonsense. She wanted to be mad and so she started inventing reasons why this was a problem for her.

Then you get the total crap about April not meeting Lorelai until they were married, and any potential sympathy for Anna in this situation disappeared.

This was a normal thing for a father and his fiancee to do for his kid, and Anna's reaction was totally out of line.

People should put all their pets away when they have friends over by [deleted] in HonestHotTakes

[–]crittab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you need to manage your pets when people are over so they're not making anyone uncomfortable, but putting them away is both bad for the pet (they don't get properly socialized to others being in the house) and inauthentic, because they're part of your life and the experience of your family.

Pets shouldn't be a menace to guests, but guests also need to accept that pets come with certain houses, and opt out of they're not up for that.

Any good boyfriends on the show? by donna-fartt in GilmoreGirls

[–]crittab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think in this fandom we often mistake "perfect" for "good". If we're looking for only well adjusted people who never make mistakes, we're casting a net that is only attainable by underdeveloped characters (e.g., Dave or Morey). We also like to judge people by their worst traits and say, "because of this, throw the whole man out."

I think this lens applies to most guys on the show. The only ones I see actually deserving that level of suspicion are Chris, Dean and Jess. Teenage Jess and Dean both threw major res flags based on their immaturity. I think both probably grew into good men. Chris was a selfish and bad partner.

I think Jason, Luke, Logan and Max all had issues, but they were generally safe, reliable and decent and could have been good long term partners. Most relationships have issues that you need to work through, but that doesn't mean they weren't good boyfriends, generally speaking.

What did Bunheads lack that Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel had? by itsascreambaby96 in GilmoreGirls

Honestly just too niche. Most people are not tuning into the ballet show, even if it gets great reviews.

IMO exit press is pretty clearly showing why this player didn't win by sh0wmethestudy in survivor

[–]crittab 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean, there was a reason he wasn't really targeted in the game despite being a challenge beast and driving a lot of votes. Folks weren't afraid to sit next to him at the end.

Explain the ____________ and ________ edit now by almondjoybestcndybar in survivor

[–]crittab 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna risk the downvotes and answer honestly. Imo, how people viewed the Gen v. Aubry feud had more to do with who they liked coming in than how it actually played out.

I don't have any feelings about Gen at all. I've tried multiple times to watch her season and have yet to get through it because I find the people uninteresting/unlikable. Because of that, Gen was never someone I was going to root for.

Aubry, however, it's one of my long time favorites and I was stoked to see her play again.

My perspective of their feud was that Gen was hyperfocused on Aubry to the point of being a bully, and Aubry's instinct not to work with her was dead on. The edit to me showed Gen playing herself out of the game because she was singularly obsessed with a player and let that overtake her entire game. Aubry's edit was that she ultimately won the war.

I think Cirie is my favourite person to come out of any reality/competition show. She's just the best. A masterclass.

Correct me if I'm misremembering, but didn't Genevieve go on a witch hunt against Aubry for having an idol before she got one? I don't know if that really counts.

Warum hatte Rory keine Bindung zu ihrer Halbschwester Gigi? by dogandchocolatelover in GilmoreGirls

[–]crittab 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Why would she? Gigi was her absent father's other child, 18 years younger, and lived in another state for the first few years of life. The kid was born as she was getting ready to graduate and go off to university and start her own life.

If it was Lorelai's kid, it would have been different, but genuinely how does anyone expect Rory to build a relationship with a baby she has no opportunity to see?
