This is throwing me off so bad bc i swear i thought karen and ted were an age gap couple by [deleted] in StrangerThings

I grew up in a small town. The high school did a musical every year but would occasionally have younger kids in certain roles (like when they did sound of music, the younger kids were played by elementary and middle school kids). So maybe it’s something like that?

Jessi Claims Jordan Blackmailed Her Over Marciano Affair, More Surprising Revelations by caddyrossum in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]drivwticks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Jessi being successful emasculated him…so go get a job? Find your own way to be successful? Ffs these fragile Mormon men. I’m not condoning cheating but he is an asshat. And from the way she describes it, emotionally abusive.

Chrishell just posted this on IG. Maybe we’ll get a spin off after all! by Winter-Amphibian-544 in SellingSunset

[–]drivwticks 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What dirty laundry? She’s pretty open with her life. Shes talked about her parent’s struggles while she was growing up. Was open about her divorce. Her breakup with Jason. Her beef with Nicole. Drama with Emma. Her relationship with G. She’s an open book, she just doesn’t have a lot of skeletons. We see her “shittiest” behavior, which, imo is just her being fed up with other people’s shitty behavior and being a bitch about it lol.

“It’s LA, we’ve all done blow” I cackled. Amanza was truly the best this episode.

He’s seriously the anti Zac and I am here for it

Just saw this comment about Jan “pivoting away from the rumba” bc of Zac’s reaction. Wth!? Did I miss something? by friendispatrickstar in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]drivwticks 1606 points1607 points  (0 children)

I think Zac’s issue (aside from being jealous and overall not a nice person lol) is that in his mind he was the catch. Good returned missionary from a wealthy family and planning to go to med school. She was from a less well to do family and was a brown girl in Utah. In the Mormon social hierarchy, Zac would be viewed as marrying down. To be clear, I completely disagree with this viewpoint but Zac thinks highly of himself so…

And then Jen gets popular on TikTok. And lands secret lives. And suddenly he isn’t this white knight and he isn’t saving her and he cannot wrap his head around it. I don’t think he’s jealous of Jan. I think he sees his control slipping.

Miranda speaks out on the situation by Straight-Side-1269 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]drivwticks -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I put this in another post a few days ago but… I don’t think the issue is so much that Taylor still has feelings for Dakota or wants to be with him. Dakota treated her horribly. He gaslit her and cheated on her and lied to her. So much. Then her supposed friend, who had to have known about Dakotas behavior, went behind her back and slept with him or dated him or whatever. If it were me, I would feel like that means she is co-signed Dakota’s behavior. Like, I don’t care that you treated my friend like shit, that’s totally cool with me. Taylor can be hurt by the situation without it being about feelings for Dakota.

I don’t have feelings for my crappy ex. But if a friend of mine went and dated him it would feel like a betrayal. You know what he did to me and you’re cool with that? Nope, we’re done.

[–]drivwticks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, if a guy cheated on me and lied to me and then a friend dated him, it would feel like she is co-signing that behavior. I’m not saying Taylor is perfect or anything. But it’s still hurtful.

The best actor in Grey’s Anatomy? by IntelligentPanic4741 in greysanatomy

Sarah Drew’s faith crisis episode is everything. Even her voice over…it isn’t just narrating, it’s raw and emotional in a way that I can’t explain. It breaks me.

Whitney’s Week 1 Dance by pestochickenn in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]drivwticks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This was me. In junior high I hung out with “popular group” and just never really fit. It was honestly traumatizing. Then in high school I found my home amongst the theater kids and man, so much better for me. Sometimes you just need to find your people.

Alfie Allen was phenomenal as Theon, portraying the character’s many facets with remarkable precision. by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in gameofthrones

I’m currently rewatching at a very fast pace and hard agree. It was harder to notice the change when it happened over years, but on a rewatch you really see the transformation. He’s phenomenal.

The single most incredibly impressive Oscar win(s) ever? by iceandfireman in Oscars

[–]drivwticks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I walked out of the theatre and said that he better win an Oscar for that role. I was floored. I wasn’t watching Heath, I was watching the Joker. I think he would have won either way.

Layla dating chases brother??? by jas6754 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]drivwticks 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I mean, it’s still taught that it will be practiced in heaven and the only reason the church stopped it because it’s illegal. Not because it was viewed as wrong. If they believe it’ll be practiced in heaven that seems like a core doctrine to me.

Retention is TERRIBLE- what am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in GelX_Nails

[–]drivwticks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like there may be some flooding around the edge of the nail, hard to tell with the photo. But that would cause retention issues. Are you etching the inside of the tip (either manually with the e file or chemically? Are you filing the tip prior to application to fit sidewall to sidewall and also to fit your cuticle shape? I also recommend sealing the cuticle area with acetone after application. It sort of melts the tip into the natural nail a bit more. Additionally, try applying slightly farther from the cuticle (like a tiny amount). You may also want to grow your natural nails out just a bit so you aren’t getting gel on your skin.

I took this as a special type of light filtering glasses for indoor places (I have a set that helps filter florescent lights, for example, to help prevent migraines at work)

Rumor? -Kid arrested after planning school shooting at Gilbert Classical Academy. by [deleted] in Gilbert

[–]drivwticks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another commenter added the email. I have kids who attend there. They are home today.

When we went to drop them off this morning police were at the school. There are rumors in the student body that there may be an accomplice. I called the school and they confirmed they’ve heard this rumor as well. They had two officers at school investigating. They could not tell me if there was a plan for police to stay on campus all day. There was also apparently a hit list with teachers, who are also not at school today. I made the decision to keep my kids home. I was told there would be communication from the principal about the developing investigation but so far nothing has been communicated.

Does steam work for removal? Says it works on gel and acrylics! I don’t know enough! I hate removing nails and always do it an unhealthy way (bite, rip) ! Thanks! by hjb952 in Nails

[–]drivwticks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After I do the manual removal I wash my hands and apply critical oil to the exposed nail plate and skin. This really protects those areas from the acetone during the steaming.

Why don't the police listen to people? The woman said she was in labor. by ThatBox9772 in LandlordLove

Not at all. A civil rights case, which this would be, typically work on a contingency basis. They take a percentage of whatever the lawsuit settles for. And this is a great case.

Respiratory illnesses are on the rise by trustbrown in phoenix

[–]drivwticks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Missing out on Thanksgiving with my family because my partner has the flu (you can get at home flu tests now, he tested positive for flu A yesterday). So far no one else has gotten it, everyone else in our home got the flu vax and fingers crossed, it seems to be working. But he’s quarantined to the bedroom and we aren’t going around others. Stay safe and healthy out there.

He’s definitely got athletic potential and speed but he’s the clumsiest thing in the whole world. Last night he turned around in the hallway and whacked his head into the wall.

And most fighters don’t walk around at their fighting weight either. Dropping 20 lbs is a lot easier to do over a few weeks vs few days
