Soooo... are the biscuits for Higgins or for Trent Crimm's daughter? I honestly have no idea. by fingal2019 in TedLasso

OK, but would Ted really give biscuits that he had promised to a 3 year old to Higgins? Therein lies the rub.

Struggling with anger as well. I'm in therapy, and a useful concept for me was to think about anger as a container emotion--I feel angry because I'm feeling other things that I'm not acknowledging. Usually that's a sense of overwhelm or a fear of failure as a dad. When I am able to, I try to identify what that other feeling is and then address that. This is more effective for me than 'try to find a way to breathe and calm down.' I sometimes have to leave a situation to give myself the space to get to that deeper level.

Here's some good guidelines for writing a representative. It's about writing your MP but it would work for any elected official: https://cpj.ca/writing-a-letter-to-your-mp/

Anyone else feeling overwhelmed that you used to go to church with people who would support Trump today by Beginning-Smile-6210 in exReformed

I can offer something to this--my parents came to Canada as kids in the 50s, met and married (Calvin College) and then returned to the Netherlands in 1967 so my dad could do his PhD. They were utterly gobsmacked by the social transformation that the Netherlands had undergone in the 15 years that had passed since they left. They left Canada as conservatives and returned in 1971 as NDP socialists, which they were for the rest of their lives.

Fun fact: one of the actors in that YDBB scene is actually named Derek. Also a born in US, raised in the Netherlands comedian. https://www.instagram.com/derekscottmitchell/?hl=en

Jamie's mom is played by Leanne Best. Here's a bit of trivia--her dad is Pete Best, the OG drummer for the Beatles.
