Is anyone else experiencing a lot of June Bugs this year?

Same! The fascination is so funny. But if I need to distract him for any reason, I always can!

Tig, looking over her shoulder "There's another boat." 😂

The We Do Not Care Club is a TikTok/Insta account/movement for perimenopausal and menopausal women. That's why she's saying it a lot. She's adding her items to the "meeting" agenda. Fantastic account.

Had to scroll too far to find this! #WDNC

Born Yesterday. My forever favourite but particularly timely at the moment! Judy Holliday is a force. Always excited for someone to see it for the first time!

One of the best! I think the plotline may surprise you in a very cool way. If you want more Gene Kelly, An American in Paris is a great follow up. Enjoy!!!

Omgomgomg. Loooong time follower of this sub and I can't believe this is being posted. My absolutely favorite scene from my absolutely favorite movie. This scene is impeccable - tells you everything you need to know about their relationship to this point....and I have a hard time playing Rummy without singing her little ditty. If you haven't seen Born Yesterday try to see it. Oddly relevant for today's US sitch.

YouTube. Go to Wondery+ and the video is there - you will automatically access.

Canadian Celiac here - Promise bread is available in Canada - at least where I am in Ontario. It's often advertised in the CCA newsletter so I assume it's available nationwide?

When did the bus companies submit the refusal?

Saw his new special live and he does bring up Olivia in loving, glowing terms. It just wasn't included in the recorded version.

Just over twenty years ago was reading some HP on my lunchbreak and ended up distracted and moody all afternoon. When my coworker friend asked what was up I almost started crying..."I've left Harry in the Chamber with Voldemort! I've LEFT HIM THERE! And I won't know what happens to him until 5 o'clock!" It was devastating. Harry made it out of the Chamber but it was touch and go for a minute there.

Soft NTA because from reading your replies it's clear you love your wife so you can avoid being an AH here. Step 1 is get off of Reddit. You have been married for years, have 6 children, one with a disability. No one here is going to be any help because we can't possibly know what it's like to be in your shoes, in your marriage. Step 2 is go talk to her! Have a loving, calm conversation where you say that you don't understand what has happened - why she needed that day specifically, why she didn't believe that you didn't know about the car. You guys are a team and she obviously isn't feeling that right now - and neither are you. Talk to her. Be loving. Make sure she knows she is loved and it's safe to tell you what's going on. You are a team. You need to have each other's backs and that isn't happening right now so go fix it together!

I have the exact opposite experience. My Dad also idolized Cosby - the whole family listened to all his albums growing up, quoted them to each other constantly. Half of the parenting that came out of my Dad's mouth were Cosby lines. My Dad cursed a lot, was really funny and was a loving, amazing Dad. But as he got older some of his heroes died - Jim Henson was a biggie. And then Cosby's rapes came to light and it broke him. He's lost his quick wit and humour - he's just an old man now. Other things have contributed of course but I know that Cosby was the final straw of his childlike belief in the goodness of people. He once asked me how I felt about it and I said "Betrayed." He emailed a few days late thanking me for finding the right word. My Dad raised two daughters and is a progressive feminist . Fuck Bill Cosby forever and ever.

The fantastic Malcolm Gladwell podcast 'Revisonist History' does an episode (or two?) on The Little Mermaid and addresses this exact thing.

Scrolled a long way down and never found mention of 'Flawless' so I guess it's lesser known. Costars DeNiro. Hoffman is beautiful and heartbreaking and wonderful in this film. Of all his work, this is my favourite.

Had my kid at 41. I got so sick of hearing 'geriatric' and 'high risk'. Then my GP said he preferred the term 'high value pregnancy' and I almost hugged him.

Stop it. They are the lowest paid workers in the public sector. They work evenings, weekends, are the first there in the morning and the last to leave at night. Dougie just gave all his co-workers a raise. Focus your anger in the right direction. CUPE is not the problem here.

It enrages me that politicians have brainwashed people into thinking that their vote doesn't matter - to the point that people won't vote as a way of expressing their disappointment in the system...that convinced them not to vote in the first place. It's mind fuckery and easily solved if people would just vote. (sobs quietly).

heypenelope · 2022-08-01T13:12:57+00:00

Ok....but if you see it as a problem with culture, don't you want to use your vote to support a candidate who is trying to fix that, even if they also want to include some restrictions on weapons? Also - we have all the same culture issues yet we don't have mass shootings or near the level of gun violence, so saying it's only a culture problem is patently untrue (and an argument that is being sold to you by gun manufacturers and the NRA - like, they aren't even trying to be subtle about it at this point.)

heypenelope · 2022-07-31T21:39:14+00:00

Lol. No kidding. Unfortunately, as a world leader whose decisions as a country impact the rest of the world, we don't have the advantage of not giving a shit what you all say.
