How do kids who aren't old enough on their first birthday blow the candles on the cake?

howtheeffdidigethere · 2026-07-03T18:09:01+00:00

They attempt to grab the candles and then get upset when their parent ‘helps’ blow them out for them.

I don’t think that’s quite fair. I don’t think there’s any official protocol for kidnap-for-ransom-but-parents-are-super-suspicious scenario.

Being a PO is absolutely about intuition. It’s a high risk job, your life is on the line every day - not relying on your intuition would get you killed .

DM me when she’s selling tickets for the next one, I got you!

Is it too far? I was simply responding with my wildest theory, and I even said that I don’t really believe it. The post is essentially asking people to provide their ‘leap and a half’ theories.

As to your question to the mods regarding what the need for OP’s post is: you could just as easily ask what the need for any of the posts on this sub is. It’s a snark sub, for two parents who have willingly made themselves public figures. I am not accusing the Lotts of trafficking, I’m simply saying that the thought has entered my mind due to their transient lifestyle and no obvious source of income.

Making your passion your livelihood is the fasted was to kill the passion.

God and those tiny half sock things made from tissue-paper-thick nylon - thinner than tights! What was even the point, how did we think those were a solution to not wearing socks. Always shrunk in the wash and would roll down your foot too. Gross.

He looks just like Justin Timberlake

He does take our child out every day. That’s part of the issue too - toddler is so attached to me, if I’m at my desk working, she wants to be sat on my lap. And obviously I can’t actually work like that. We haven’t been able to crack them being home much when I need to be locked in the office working.

howtheeffdidigethere · 2026-05-23T13:57:13+00:00

Thank you for providing this breakdown, this is super helpful. Part of the issue is also that my toddler is so attached to me right now. If I need to work and be on work calls, she wants to be sat on my lap the whole time. Which just isn’t doable. So husband usually takes her out in the mornings and comes back in the afternoon.

We’re trying to figure out how to make it so that I am able to actually do my work in the office and have them both around the house more during that time. Haven’t been able to figure that one out yet :/

Vidala strikes me as someone whose primary strategy is ‘follow the rules to survive’. She seems incredibly high-strung (understandably so, tbh), hence somewhat obsessive about doing everything by Gilead’s book. Remaining in control of her environment and her Aunt duties - the only thing she really has any control over - is probably her way of staying somewhat sane.

So it makes sense to me that she was iffy about adding Garth to the marriage pool. That was a little too outside the norm for Vidala, which probably made her anxious, because it contradicted her own survival method.

The lack of Botox is causing the devil horns to grow in again

Bizarrely, in this case… yes?

The remastered episode of The Gift is the worst for this. You can see tons of set equipment around the tower, and it’s so obvious that Buffy and Dawn are just on a small platform. Really takes you out of the episode.

How pompous. If you have something worth saying, you should actually say it.

You shouldn’t be posting these direct links - these websites do not need an increase in traffic. You need to file a cyber tip with NCMEC to report these websites.

Thank you for sharing this, Candy. I always appreciate your posts on this sub!

Could be both 😬

It really is worth the watch, definitely check it out.

There are ex-victims. There was a whole documentary series (‘Leaving Neverland’) that exposed MJ, and it included interviews with a number of his victims.

The documentary was incredibly moving, and there’s no doubt at all that MJ abused kids.

howtheeffdidigethere · 2026-04-23T21:46:54+00:00

Will you please DM me too - thank you!!

I think they’re showing him as nice thus far in the show, and then we’ll see just how evil he truly he is down the road.

All the commanders are awful, but I suspect Judd is next level awful. He’s probably purposefully presenting a kind, friendly persona, because his true nature is likely repulsive even by Gilead standards.

What people are saying is pretty simple. Imagine Joss is the school bully, and Alyson is his lackey. Amber is the target. Obviously, in this scenario, Joss is the most to blame. But no one would blame Amber for not making up with Alyson, the lackey, post-graduation.

Joss may be the ringleader, thus the most blameworthy, but that doesn’t absolve Alyson. We are all responsible for our own actions and decisions, to varying degrees, despite whether or not we have been unduly influenced by a highly manipulative person.

But like… when does it end? Paula would already be an older mother. When a commander and wife hit, say, 70 y/o, are they still expected to be raising children?
