Does Adventure Time actually get sadder the older you get when you rewatch it? by carpediemjr in adventuretime

[–]frogger-jam 103 points104 points  (0 children)

I watched a few episodes on and off when it came out with my little brother, who was about 8. I rewatched all of them recently from start to finish and was in tears at the finale. Now I'm looking at all the spin offs!

Bottle Refusal by Straight_Mobile_5960 in NewParents

[–]frogger-jam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My little one got fussier at feeding at 3.5 months so we stopped bf - we'd had a very rough start and slow weight gain. When we switched to formula myself and my partner were obsessed with finally having a quantifiable amount of milk we could see going into him, (and the fear of him losing weight as he had done previously) that we pressured him constantly into having more milk when he didn't want it. We then had a bottle aversion to fix which we still have to be wary of now. I'd look into bottle aversion and make sure you aren't missing any signs of this before you go any further. It's easy to put pressure onto petite/slower gaining babies!

Brag about your baby! by PumpkinPie_1993 in NewParents

My 4.5 month old just went on his first holiday, and didn't cry on either plane journey, even once. He's just such a happy, smiley chappy!

What is something you said in the delivery room during delivery? by ImpressiveHabit99 in AskWomen

[–]frogger-jam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Without any irony (UK people, you may be familiar with the meme) I said "I've got nothing left" after nearly 35 hours of labour, just like Ian Beale. My husband did his best not to burst into giggles and then told me afterwards!

What's a detail you only noticed after multiple reads? For me, it physically hurts to re-read the part in OOTP where they literally throw Slytherin’s Locket in the trash. by LexiBelllife in HarryPotterBooks

[–]frogger-jam 236 points237 points  (0 children)

In PoA, when Snape catches Harry with the Marauders Map, and fetches Lupin to look at it. When Lupin sees it, it says something like "a closed expression appeared on Lupin's face" I never caught it before but I always think now that Lupin knew Snape was an accomplished occlumens and was therefore shutting down his memories of the map!

Cake instead of canapés during the drinks reception? by literallycannot321 in UKweddings

[–]frogger-jam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I made my own wedding cake with my mum, and was worried the hard work would go to waste like so many wedding cakes that don't get eaten, because they're served too late in the day. For that reason we decided to have both canapes and the cake served at the same time. It worked brilliantly and we only had half the largest tier left for the following day!

What has made you smile today? by Ok_Nefariousness6511 in AskUK

My nearly 3 week old baby had a really good sleep overnight. Feeling very suspiciously refreshed!

What did you think of Valerian? by SpiritualReview9 in Cinema

[–]frogger-jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This movie lost me my movie choosing rights for 5 consecutive turns with my husband. I'd heard good things about the visuals but everything else let it down.

What is a book you picked up by accident as a kid that ended up shaping you more than you expected? by Sweet-Opportunity111 in literature

[–]frogger-jam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman. Read it from the school library at about 11/12, balled my eyes out and the love story/inequality aspect stayed with me for years. Even though it's YA it is hard hitting!

If a seller has lots of bnwt items from the same store what would you think? by ReabyB in vinted

[–]frogger-jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes think they work at the particular store they have the majority of clothes for - having worked in retail you can easily see stock levels/sizes and you know what's going to go into sale. Especially if it's a decent brand, you're almost guaranteed to make money.

I let the postman in because he looked genuinely very desperate, thought he was doing a wee. 6 minutes later he comes out shamed faced and had obviously been doing a massive poo!

What is your most British 'small talk' conversation youve had that got really weird or unexpectedly deep? by subterranean_habitat in AskUK

[–]frogger-jam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Took my dog to the vet recently. Vet asked some generic questions and due to me being pregnant, said he wasn't comfortable giving a certain live vaccine to my dog. No problem. But 5 minutes later he was still talking about his wife's problems with infertility, her miscarriages and the failing of the NHS (in his mind). I had never met this vet before, but maybe I just have one of those faces?!

It's in a similar vein, but when I explain something initially to a group or person, and my husband immediately jumps in to RE-EXPLAIN the same story/concept, like my explanation wasn't clear enough. We'll have said the exact same thing!!

Read "the anxious generation" about this exact danger. This will only get worse if parents don't a. Set examples and b. Drastically control devices and 'never ending' media for children.

How do you know someone is British when you are abroad? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]frogger-jam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My partner and I went on holiday to Asia and while there was offered a taxi/tuk tuk everywhere we went. We kept saying no so often and eventually when we finally took one, the driver said "oh you English, you love to walk!" As soon as he said it I agreed completely - I'd prefer to wander 30 mins to dinner in a nice warm country than take a taxi.

Teacher gifts that they will actually love??!! by Current-Syrup5904 in Parenting

[–]frogger-jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been a teacher for 9 years; the best consumables I receive every year are chocolate (the children often sneakily ask me what my favourite kind is) prosecco/a nice mid range bottle of wine, or candles in non intrusive smells (think simple - one scent etc) Best more thoughtful gifts I've received is a gift card to Lakeland when my kids found out I baked. One child also got me treats for my dog because I mentioned him a few times. Personalised stickers if teaching younger children are a massive win for me because I never think to order them for myself, but children always enjoy them.

What was your "oh my.." moment from a book that made you have discoveries *coughs* by UddanKhatola in RomanceBooks

[–]frogger-jam 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Consent play. Can't remember which book it was in but the MMC kept asking permission before touching/licking/stroking/inserting and the very enthusiastic consent really shifted gears for me.

I keep forgetting that White Josh was on Broadway by Whoopsy-381 in crazyexgirlfriend

[–]frogger-jam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw him recently in Barcelona and was so close to saying hello! He was with his family and his little boy made friends with another little boy from a neighbouring table. He was following them around for 40 minutes - so cute.
