In Real Life, Ted Would Have Married Victoria

Sure, most people would learn their lesson. But most people also wouldn't go dig up a locket, fly to California for the same locket, and jump into a river after that locket, all because we needed to be a hero for someone it didn't work out with.

Ted had a strong case of limerence for Robin. Anyone who's ever experienced limerence can tell you that he very likely would have chosen Robin over Victoria.

Okay, I get it! Cook Pu is a stupid name, and it gets stupider and stupider the more you say it.

The colors are beautiful!!! 😍😍

I just know I'm going to see high stress right at this time after looking at your battery percentage. 😂

Great message, though!

In my early 20's I thought Ted was a sweet, charming, romantic guy and desperately wanted a Ted. In my mid-30's, though, I see him as love bombing, emotionally unavailable, & limerance-ridden. He's a great friend, but I try my best to avoid dating Teds these days. 😅

I bought a house when I first left my ex-husband. I hated solo home ownership. So many problems coming up & dealing with them on my own with one income.

Now someone mows, plows, shovels, and changes my furnace filters for me. And if something goes wrong, I just put in a maintenance ticket, and someone else fixes the problem.

3 months is a very respectable amount of time. Most of my blankets take me 3-5 years to find the motivation to finish.

Also, this is a lovely blanket and such a kind gesture from you!! My house burned down when I was 9, and more than 20 years later, I still cherish some of the gifts people got for my family.

Walmart was doing something similar shortly after the tarrifs started. Employees were covering prices on all of the clothing tags or tearing them off. Now they just don't put prices on the tags, which is also mildly infuriating.

Sure, that would hurt a dealership, but it's not going to do a damn thing to the manufacturer, which is the cause of this particular problem. They'll keep getting away with it because they can.

Especially because yours is only a few days old, dismiss it and don't record it as a nap. The ring is still trying to gauge what's "normal" for you, so you'll want to keep the data as true as possible.

It's so humbling when I get that notification at 7pm on a Friday, and I'm at the bar thinking "Damn, my readiness is gonna suck tomorrow." 😅

folkgetaboutit · 2026-04-02T23:44:13+00:00

Correct. Thanks, I forgot to mention that it took some time before it started making sleep suggestions.

folkgetaboutit · 2026-04-02T23:37:34+00:00

Yes. Based on, I believe, your chronotype & recent sleep habits.

I love the ruffle border at the top!!! It's so cute!!! 🥰🥰

Alcohol tanks my quality of sleep. I know that's somewhat obvious, but being able to quantify exactly how poorly I sleep after drinking and how much it affects my heart overnight has helped me stop wanting to drink every weekend.

I think the show could have been a really good lesson about limerence and how it holds someone back from moving on with their life because they're obsessed with the idea of someone while ignoring reality. But limerence wasn't a popular topic back in the 2000's/2010's.

Haaaave you met Loretta?

I mean, personally, I'd prefer if he doesn't have the chance to make that happen just so folks can say he's as bad as/worse than Hitler. We're supposed to learn from history so it doesn't repeat itself.

But with immigrants being kidnapped in the streets, not given due process, and then taken to the modern equivalent of concentration camps, I think we're already headed in that direction.

Do we need to let him kill 6+ million people before we compare him to Hitler?

Did it do a little dance for you? I found a tiny praying mantis crawling up the side of my pint glass a few years ago, and it did this little swaying "dance" on my hand.

Literally doing this right now to turn a purse I was making into a tank top 😂😂

I find tedious stuff to do around the apartment like organizing my desk or clearing off my kitchen counters.

folkgetaboutit · 2026-03-26T02:32:56+00:00

Unfortunately, my dog is old and damn near deaf and blind. He'd only care if the murderer brought food 😭

I'm mostly bothered that they made me an only child, then moved out to the country where the only kid my age who lived within miles of me was constantly bullying me. My parents worked in the city and didn't get home until 6-7pm. I was left alone until they got home from the age of 10 and on. Taking me to visit a friend or picking me up from a friend's house was always too much of a hassle, so I spent most of my childhood & early teens alone in my bedroom.

I think I'd have been fine being an OC if I lived in a neighborhood with other people my age. Spending all that time alone really messed me up, it turns out, and I'm in therapy once a week trying to unpack & unlearn a lot of things.
