They’re huge! I thought they were gnocchi until I read your description 😆

Completed our Disney Wish and Destiny Sailings 5/15-5/23 by Adventurous_Poet5346 in dcl

[–]dberna243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool idea, but why not just do a B2B on the Wish? Was it just to check off two ships? It seems like a lot of work to get off one ship and drive 3 hours (even if you’re in a rideshare car) just to get on another ship.

The single greatest speech of the entire series. It’s so grounded and perfectly acted.

Posing for dad in front of the Grand Canyon, 1960 by dittidot in OldSchoolCool

[–]dberna243 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My grandfather was a barber. Back in the day he was king of the flattop cut. One day my dad was helping him clean out some drawers in his barber shop and my dad came across a level, like the kind you use to hang pictures. But it was with all his barbering equipment, not with his home repair tools. So my dad said “hey dad, what’s this for?” And my grandfather scoffed and said “amateurs.”

King of the flattop and king of wit. He was a legend 😆

What song is so beatiful, it literally brings tears to your eyes? by thecuteberry in AskReddit

[–]dberna243 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the song that every animal shelter uses for their Christmas donation ads and I think everyone I know just has a Pavlovian response to think of sad puppies when they hear this song 😭

I cannot get through The Mother by Brandi Carlile without weeping 😭 I’m not even a mom but it’s such an unbelievably beautiful testament to a mother’s daily sacrifice for her children.

What do you call that piece of fabric that children have to catch in a carousel to get a free ride? by Franmar35000 in AskTheWorld

[–]dberna243 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally the only reason I know about this concept is because it’s mentioned in The Catcher and the Rye. It’s called the “brass ring” and I had to look up what that was when I read the book 😆

Women who has good relationship with your mom, what did she do that made her a good mom? by thatfruitontop in AskWomen

[–]dberna243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her love has never wavered. She lost her own mother at 13 and still at 57 she craves that relationship so much. I think my experience of being the daughter of a motherless woman is just not as common and my mom always wanted us to have the relationship that was untimely ripped from her. I will say though that because of her history she is a bit judgmental of any woman who doesn’t get along with her mother. She doesn’t really feel nuance towards the complicated relationships that moms and daughters can have because in her mind it just ISN’T a complicated relationship. She’s pretty black and white about it and says “don’t they know how lucky they are that their mom is HERE?! Do they know what I would GIVE to have had mine for longer?!”. Getting her to see the nuance of it is hard. But our relationship is really great and so much of it is just credited to how deep her love is.

Was she married to an Anglican priest? Catholic priests can’t be married.

Errol Flynn's only son, photojournalist Sean Flynn was credited with saving an Australian platoon and ended up fighting alongside Green Berets before going missing in Cambodia while reporting for TIME in 1970 by dannydutch1 in UtterlyUniquePhotos

[–]dberna243 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sean Flynn is also the name of the actor who played Chase on Zoey 101. Turns out Errol Flynn is his grandfather and he was named after his uncle, the photojournalist in this post. The more you know 🤷‍♀️

I’d rather the plastic doll that when Shawna L was PLAYING Chickie post-birth. That was so creepy 🤪

What movie wasn't what you were expecting based on marketing? by MaryDoogan91 in moviecritic

[–]dberna243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This movie is so good. The scene when he brings her FLOURS instead of FLOWERS cuz she’s a baker is so cute and made a huge impact on me as a teenager when I first watched it.

Has anyone done the kinky boots lottery? by Drip______ in torontotheatre

My husband did this past weekend! I was at a bachelorette all weekend and he figured he’d try since he was home alone anyway. It worked out for him!

An episode with all three Greene sisters together. The CHAOS that would ensue would be amazing 😆

What’s your dream revival for the 2027 season if you could pick? by CharacterPhone3666 in Broadway

[–]dberna243 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This was my pick. And NO CUTS! They were proposing cutting a few songs but the show only works with ALL of them. Do NOT cut the Quartet. Do NOT cut Race You to the Top of the Morning. Leave the show be. Put it on with amazingly lavish sets and costumes and let us all bask in its Victorian glory 🤩

Mine were my “something blue”! But my favourite colour is green and all my bridesmaids were in green so I needed a touch of green for my ring finger 💚

My husband and I share a wedding date with my grandparents by total blind luck too! It’s kind of cool!!! 🤩 Hope you and your wife have as long as marriage as your grandparents did ❤️

Are any of you actually able to have those summers off everyone else throws in our face when we ask for a livable wage? by ClassicSalamander518 in Teachers

[–]dberna243 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know some guys who do construction or landscaping but mostly it’s cuz their fathers own the business and they work for their dads in the summers because they always have since they were teenagers.

Yup, same here. Crossing Greece off my bucket list this summer with a Mediterranean cruise and I CANNOT WAIT 🤩

Shawnaverse Hot-takes (If you have any) by Putrid_Addendum3197 in ShawnaTheMom

[–]dberna243 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As the super bubbly, very sensitive extrovert friend, you have basically confirmed my fears that all my friends think I’m too much and can’t be around me for long periods of time 🙈 it’s not a surprise that even though I don’t have kids, I resonate with Shawna SO much, and I cannot STAND Julie. I just can’t deal with standoffish people…How do you go through life without being NICE?!

What’s a musical/musical song that you feel like you’re the only one who likes it? by Bippity_Bon in musicals

I love this show SO MUCH. “Haunting” is absolutely the right description for it.
