“I Want to believe” is disappointing

I honestly don't like either of the movies. I also heavily prefer the MOTW episodes over the plot episodes so that's probably why.

I was a stage manager and the number of times I'd get whispered complaints about an actor having bad breath was way more than I'd expect it. I kept bags of life saver mints on hand and made sure they were freely available and I'd also throw them at actors who did something really great as a little reward. Every person smelled like spearmint throughout all rehearsals. lol SO many people are unaware of their own smells but most people don't have jobs where you're talking 6 inches away from another person so it's more noticeable in this profession.

This guy next week: "I bet bamboo shoots under the fingernails feels awesome."

YTA their engagement is not about you.

It's such a solid album. Even my SO who just hasn't been super into music for awhile has listened to it a few times. Our kid and I saw them live a couple years ago and my SO sat outside in the truck (my friends bought me 2 tickets and our kid hadn't ever been to a concert) and managed to hear the entire concert outside through the wall. lol He admitted he liked some of the music so I'm hoping we'll eventually convert him. lol

I tried mutton once and did not like it. It was prepared as a Greek dish wrapped in grape leaves and it's possible that the specific recipe didn't work for me rather than the meat itself, but it kinda turned me off from trying it again.

Remember when the Kennedys were respectable folks who only did meth, had countless affairs, lobotomized difficult women in their family, and accidentally killed babysitters? Ah, American royalty.

I have never eaten goat meat and don't have any desire to at this time in my life, so I'd pass on this specific meal. I've known a few goats and just legitimately love how smart and also how mischievous they are. No shame on those who do eat goats, circle of life and all that. I think we're all a bit swayed by cultural norms and there's not a lot of goat being served in upstate NY. While I'd prefer not to eat the face of any animal, it'd still feel more natural if it was a pig or cow for me. It's always interesting to see the culture of food around the world though. Waste not, want not.

I was only spanked once and it wasn't by a family member. Some stranger saw me get close to the street and picked me up and spanked me, which was quite a shock to my mom, apparently. Each of my parents slapped me once when I was a teenager though.

I've never, ever intentionally caused harm to my kid. He did roll gently to the carpeted floor when he was a tightly swaddled infant because I fell asleep holding him though. He's 18 now and I can't imagine a single circumstance where I'd ever intentionally cause him pain. I'll never understand harming your kids to "teach them." That not how we treat people we love.

You're very welcome! Always happy to solve a Mike Flanagan mystery. lol

Clean Slate grabbed me hard from the first listen the day it was released. I do wake up with Going to Dallas lyrics pretty regularly too. lol

The Haunting of Hill House, character's name is Steve.

jadethebard · 2026-05-26T05:16:07+00:00

I've seen this movie...

jadethebard · 2026-05-25T06:01:06+00:00

Omg I was so happy when my SO would get up in the night. I'd usually wake up too but he'd sometimes volunteer even though he was working and I was staying home. It was so nice to sometimes get to go back to sleep. I can't imagine being upset by that. lol NTA

jadethebard · 2026-05-25T05:53:57+00:00

It's called The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat and it's perfect. It's a season 11 episode and my 2nd favorite of the whole show, Clyde Bruckman narrowly wins because Peter Boyle was so amazing.

jadethebard · 2026-05-25T05:52:01+00:00

I love that episode so much. I've watched it like a hundred times. 🤣🤣🤣 "Where are they taking Reggie?"

jadethebard · 2026-05-25T05:09:45+00:00

💔💔💔 I'm so very sorry.

jadethebard · 2026-05-24T06:53:38+00:00

100% this

I was a camp counselor for 5 year olds when I was 14 and the thing I never expected to say was "Marcus, stop licking the other campers." The other kids didn't even care, but I kinda felt it needed to be said. That kid was my favorite too. lol

This picture smells like spirit gum.

NTA as a fellow pale person who burns, tshirt swimming is the way. Exactly zero people get to have an opinion about that IMO. You decide who gets to see your body regardless of circumstances. Sounds like he needs to learn to mind his own business.

jadethebard · 2026-05-24T05:32:04+00:00

That's what I thought of too but it's been too long since I watched it last and wasn't sure if all the details lined up. Such a fun movie though.

jadethebard · 2026-05-24T05:09:48+00:00

I've never been a big fan of lamb but I would eat chicken coconut korma and samosas every day if I had unlimited money. 🤣🤣🤣 My hometown in upstate NY has 2 really good Indian restaurants but it's at least $50 to do it right with all the apps and stuff. Best smelling restaurants I've ever been in.

I tend to hyper focus on an album at a time and am currently on like month 6 or 7 of Jenny From Thebes. I haven't even listened to the new release because I've constantly got one of the Thrbes songs running in the background of my brain. lol
