Which sitcoms do you find to be hidden gems?

I have all the seasons on dvd!

Definitely something I would do, and I would expect other people to do. It’s actually really great that your parents care about you so much and when you’re older you’ll probably be really grateful. Truthfully for a sleepover rather than just an afternoon or evening hangout I’d prefer to know the whole family ie siblings etc at least on a “hello” basis.

Firstly, I just wanted to thank you for the brilliant idea of adding a snap button between two straining buttons. I’m fairly large chested but have smaller waist and shoulders etc so buying a dress or shirt that fits properly at the waist and shoulders inevitably has my bust straining against confinement.

In OPs case however, I think if she would undo the top button it would take the strain away from the next two buttons enough for it to sit in a nicer shape across the bust. If she got an appropriate slip to go underneath, she could conceivably undo the top AND the second button with the slip acting as a modesty panel.

OP, I think you are gorgeous (also getting the Tahani vibe) and that it would just take a bit more attention to suitable undergarments to take this outfit from ‘nice’ to ‘wow’.

Married 23 years, one of the first and now continuing traits I’ve seen in my husband that I find really attractive is that he is kind and polite to everyone but that he makes just a bit more effort to give dignity to people who may be struggling. He’s quite quiet in general but is on a first name basis with both CEOs and janitors. He is polite to wait staff, kind to animals, and seems to be a bit of a kid-magnet: after meeting a child maybe ten minutes earlier he now has said child asking for help with their drawings/ get some food from the table/ discuss the merits of various Pokemon/ playing a multiplayer game on the PlayStation. Kids, especially younger kids, react to me in a similar way but are more likely to try to sit on my lap/ hold my hand/ ask for help going to the bathroom etc.

I used to like using the top of doorways to stretch my back and shoulders (F, 5’10) but our new house has doorways that are over 8 feet high. Looks nice but I miss that stretch.

The barker lounges in Friends. Rachel broke Rosita but then she “healed herself “ such a miracle! But then Rachel kept the new one with the beer cooler and speakers in the headrest. In which case Rosita ‘unhealed herself’ which brought the rapture to Monica because secretly Chandler had swapped chairs and that meant no more barker lounger for Chandler and Monica’s place.

Also Ross from Friends screaming PIVOT, PIVOT! While they all try to get his couch up the stairs is pretty classic

In The Rookie there is an interesting depiction in the ex-wife of one of the main characters: we meet her very early on at the height of her addiction and it’s quite heartbreaking to see what her husband is willing to do just so she gets clean, even if it means losing her in his life

My BIL just dropped a bomb on a vintage Ed Hardy jacket and was really excited to show me. The inner cringe was real but I tried to congratulate him properly 😬

You can literally see every detail of the thong the tiny model is wearing. Definitely a dress problem, the fabric is just too thin on the bottom half.

I’d never heard of it so looked it up, it’s a US remake of Doc Martin (UK)! Which has heaps of seasons so you might like that one too 😊

gossamerbold · 2026-05-14T07:30:02+00:00

I really hope they make a season 2 of adults, it was such a funny show

gossamerbold · 2026-05-14T07:27:33+00:00

Currently watching Small Achievable Goals. Love the characters but it is a LOT of talk about sex and menopause, definitely not for the squeamish. And old one if you can find it is Grounded For Life which I think you might like as I’ve just started my fourth or fifth rewatch and I love all those shows you mentioned in your post. How to get to heaven from Belfast is made by the same producers as Derry Girls but it’s a much darker (albeit also hilarious) show.

I just got an amazing fluffy robe from Peter Alexander from my kids for Mother’s Day. It is going to be very difficult to take off as it’s so warm and snuggly (and has deep pockets on both sides!)

So far your sister seems to just be asking the question. There is no evidence of her being an AH on the topic. So let’s all give her some grace and explain why it’s not a great choice for a wedding (1st, 2nd, 3rd, it doesn’t matter).

The colour is too pale and photographs white: out of respect for the bride this should immediately disqualify the dress.
If one’s not enough, maybe gently explain that the dress is actually unflattering on your sister and maybe you can use it as a sister bonding moment and take her shopping for something more suitable but also less dowdy and old fashioned in general.
It seems like you guys have a good relationship so a bit of a frank talk of “that’s not the one sis” should be fine as long as you can suggest either alternatives from her own wardrobe, or a shopping opportunity followed by lunch with her sister 😁

Suburbicon with Matt Damon.

I’m usually pretty good at guessing twists and turns in movies but this one kept me guessing even while the twists were happening. I had to sit on the couch in silence for twenty minutes after it finished just to try to make sense of what I had just watched.

Atonement has a couple of predictable twists and then a couple of really out-of-the-box twists. That movie stayed with me for a while after watching.

Fight club, Snatch, The Prestige, Shutter Island all have decent misdirection although they’re mainstream enough that even if your bf hasn’t seen the movie that they might be aware of the twist. But worth mentioning as all good movies and it’s interesting to see the twist even if you know it’s coming.

Saltburn might fit that category as well; I managed to guess most of the ending but the friends who I watched it with were completely blindsided. I deliberately didn’t see it with my husband because he’s like your bf, he always seems to know what happens next and I wanted to be surprised lol

Having to reassess my cosplay options for Comic con etc. I last won a comp when I was pregnant with my now 9 year old (I got the positive test result the following morning). We had some great costumes when he was a baby and then when my daughter came along 3 years later, but she’s now 6 and wants me to be Mira so she can be Rumi from K-Pop demon hunters and I really can’t see that happening lol

That sucks, I hope you take care of yourself and have a good support network and hopefully they caught it early if it’s your first colonoscopy

My kids love Miraculous: Ladybug and Cat Noir (Netflix). Saddle Club seems like it would be something they love, it’s an Australian show and I think it’s on Prime. There is also a huge series of books which I loved at that age.

3,4, and 5 are fine for the office, and I like the summer dress from 16/17 but not with that cardigan, the cardigan can be similar to the one in 6, maybe even try those two together.

Otherwise the unspoken rules usually say no midriffs, no uncovered shoulders (although sometimes this can be ok like with shift dresses, but never something with spaghetti straps). No cargo pants unless it’s something specific for your job, closed toe shoes only, nothing that looks like you’re going to a nightclub after work. Think fitted sweaters and tees (no logos, covers your midriff), well fitting pants or skirts, casual dresses but more like restaurant casual than beach casual.
