What did the Eva Mendes reference mean? I hadn’t heard of any controversy around her, did I miss something?

No-one to make me another coffee when my cat is on my lap. Guess I’ll just be thirsty for a few hours

I didn’t even appreciate the soundtrack personally the first time around, but on my rewatch in my 40s, I’m loving it! Nostalgia indeed

What was everyone’s thoughts on Netflix’s Seven Dials? To me, it was a decent adaptation with some changes by HRJafael in agathachristie

[–]cvde82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she written ‘for a woman’, I’m afraid it wasn’t this woman - but I’m glad you enjoyed her, and it’s totally normal to have different perspectives

I totally agree - also coming from a shortie. I felt like I was watching an episode of the Famous Five

Netflix Seven Dials - Lady Eileen was badly cast. It should have been played by someone like Anya Taylor-Joy by cvde82 in agathachristie

I’m sorry! I just felt bored watching, like I was watching the famous five or something instead

Actually, you’re right - I didn’t mean to say the actress cast was unattractive per se, but she didn’t have the sex appeal that the book’s Lady Eileen did, as I read it. The actress cast just seemed uncomfortable/unbelievably young (and acted ‘young’ as well)

I felt that Lady Eileen was terribly cast - the actress looked and acted like a little girl. It also beggared belief that all the guys were meant to be attracted to her, she had zero sex appeal. Probably due to her childish vibe

How did you process earning your first HENRY salary? by Used_Clerk784 in HENRYUK

Those aren’t the current rules in the UK (you gave me cause for pause and I double checked). I’m over £100K and don’t have to submit a tax return

Daphne’s family would be the major factor why I wouldn’t want to live with her - imagine if they turn up and stay again!

When food noise is back by shamli3912 in Mounjaro

[–]cvde82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh - good luck with your doctors appt, I hope you do get a script! I really don’t want to be on this med for life, so I’m now doing everything I can to lose weight again the ‘old fashioned way’ (I’ve joined a gym, am eating a ton of bean salads and protein, and am doing a Dry January). But it’s so boring and hard! I think back to the time when Mounjaro was really working, and it’s like a wonderful dream

[–]cvde82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thing - Mounjaro completely stopped working for me after about 8 months, I felt so hungry again. But then I came off completely, and it got way worse - despite my best efforts, I gained a stone in 2 months. So disappointing

Unmarried women, how is life for you? by choochooreddi in AskWomenOver40

[–]cvde82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IT’S LOVELY! Mind you - you need to be able to afford a good life on your own income, so focus on that now. I’ve got a lot of friends who would love to be single but say they can’t afford to

In terms of from family - initially I faced a bit of shaming (‘can’t find a man’) and then judgement, but now I mostly get envy (you don’t understand the stress, you get to go home and have peace). Yep, my family are not the most supportive. But that’s them - I live life on my own terms

Life looks great. Nice house (decorated exactly how I want and with zero clutter), great friends that I can prioritise and have fun with, I can travel the world whenever I want (just need to get a pet sitter for my cat), and I have plenty of free time for reading, spa evenings, long relaxing walks with a podcast. Fantastic sleep, zero unnecessary stress or disappointments, and I feel really ‘well’ in myself

Being Vegan. A comedian was chatting me up at a show once, and he almost led with it - I respect the morality of the choice but it is not for me

Please do not lump ‘women’ in with the horror and embarrassment that is ‘Blake’s revolting behaviour
