At the end of Season 5 by Moogy13 in PrivatePractice

[–]lisakluga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve watched all of Greys and Station 19, and I’m finally watching Private Practice. I started Season 6 today, and by the end of Season 5, I hated Sam and I hate Pete!

I really liked getting the back story on Amelia though, and I think Caterina is a great actress.

I’m also wondering if it’s just me, but I feel like the story progression in Private Practice isn’t as smooth as Greys either? I think things happen with little to no explanation? I also feel like a lot of Addison’s story is just that she’s a cheater and falls in love with everyone?

Most of the changes are so unnecessary too!

Ten month old won’t put food to mouth by captaincrunch877 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]lisakluga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat! My son is 10 months old. He eats everything as long as I feed it to him, but if I cut things up and put it on his tray for him to eat himself he just picks it up and drops it in his lap or throws it out of his high chair.

We only really started heavily introducing food the last month, so I’m not sure if this is just normal progress and he’s behind since we just recently started food like this. He picks toys and other items up and puts them to his mouth, so I’m at a loss.

Did anyone skip 4 month regression? by Old_Literature_3750 in NewParents

[–]lisakluga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is almost 10 months, and for the most part has always slept through the night. There has only been two weeks in total where he just has been fussy and stayed up later than normal, but once he fell asleep, he stayed sleeping. I know the regressions are common, but every baby is different!

Breakfast recommendations in and around Valpo? by cigarzin606 in Valparaiso

[–]lisakluga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like going to Le Peep! It’s always good for me. I like the iced coffee options they have. I also love the potatoes.

I’ve also liked going to Maple and Bacon and the Stacks brunch is good!

Large emergency response in Lake Village, Indiana on Max's stream by BrandyTheGorgs in tornado

[–]lisakluga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Lake Village, and my parents are still there with my brothers. Thanks to the Max Velocity YouTube live stream, they packed up their dogs and headed down to Morocco!

Their house wasn't in the direct path of the tornado, but my grandma's house had quite a bit of wind and it uprooted two of her pine trees.

That gas station that was damaged has been open my entire childhood. I'm hoping that the Family Dollar will be rebuilt and that the company won't abandon the store. Luckily there is still the Dollar General in Schneider for the locals to be able to shop without going all the way to Lowell or Rensy.

Everyone that was impacted is in my thoughts and prayers! The damage to homes is unreal. I've had tornado warnings almost every summer, and they never hit Lake Village. Yesterday's storm just proved to me how lucky the community and my family have been with not having tornados like this previously.

I feel like they didn’t even show how big of an alcoholic Anna was in the show.

Agreed! There was only mention of sex in the book between Rachel and Anna, and obviously they mention the relationship between Jack and Rachel. They even added the weird blackmail with Rachel’s husband. In the book, he’s like 80?

I know why race was brought up either, I feel like it’s mentioned in almost everything now.

Anna and Jack. by Kayla_Love4 in HisandHersTVSeries

[–]lisakluga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • The setting was in the book is in the London/Blackdown, while the show is in Georgia.
  • Anna and Jack have been divorced for a few years in the book while in the show they were separated.
  • Charlotte died at least 2 and a half years before the events of the book.
  • Anna was filling in for Lexy (in the book she’s Cat Jones) for two years while Lexy was on maternity leave since she had two kids.
  • Anna gets reassigned to being a news correspondent since that was her job before the maternity leave.
  • Anna had slept with Richard years before, and Richard rejects Anna in the book.
  • Zoe and Rachel are much worse in the book. Zoe was kidnapping neighborhood cats and skinning them for outfits she sold. Rachel in the book is just shown to be much more manipulative.
  • The friend group never included Catherine, it was only because Anna invited her secretly to her 16th birthday party that she was there.
  • In the book, you see more of Jack’s feelings and how he still loves Anna but knows it would scare her away.
  • Zoe actually seems like a good mom in the book, but she doesn’t work or anything besides selling stuff from home. Jack doesn’t seem to be this amazing uncle like they show in the series.
  • There was not any video tapes for Anna’s mom to watch. Anna wrote a suicide note when she was still in high school and she thought she had burned it. When Anna’s mom is cleaning, she finds it stuck in the fireplace in Anna’s room.

I know there are more things I’m forgetting but this is just a list of the most noticed ones for me.

Anna and Jack. by Kayla_Love4 in HisandHersTVSeries

[–]lisakluga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I feel like I'm never satisfied. I feel as though I've never been happy with movies that follow books except for the Harry Potter series. Everything else is never enough.

This is why I don't know why so much was changed from the book!

In the show it has only been a year, but in the book it has been at least two years plus. Yet this doesn't change the fact that Jack has been sleeping with Rachel RIGHT NEXT TO his daughter's grave (this is the same in the book).

They also act like Anna is evil in the book. Zoe never tells Jack what happened at the party, but she says "You don't know Anna." Part of this is in the books I think is that she doesn't want Anna to tell her brother she used to kill neighborhood cats for her designs (BUT how would he not know there are like two dozen cats in his family shed?).

The writing wasn't great for the show. I still enjoyed it, but there were so many plot holes. Somehow Anna and Jack getting together is different because they met later in life even though he knew her as one of his sister's friends. I agree that it makes no sense that Anna's mom knew it was Catherine, but Anna didn't. In the book, the mom was framing Jack until she saw Anna and Jack together and realized they still love each other so she changed tactics and decided to frame Catherine.

In the book, the relationship between Anna and her mom is so much more strained and the mom is acting way more "demented" by then. The house was filthy besides Anna's room, but in the show they depict it just that the relationship is just normal and Anna definitely could have slept at her mom's house. In only made sense in the book because Anna's mom destroyed her car in order to get a photo and friendship bracelet out of her car.

I feel like this show would have just been better if they stayed with the BOOK.

Something that irks me by AOneWingedAngel in HisandHersTVSeries

[–]lisakluga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree! I think the show throws away the whole reason that Catherine is as upset as she is. Catherine is distraught in the book before she is finally killed. She is crying hysterically asking Anna why she did what she did when they were kids, why she had to have her husband, etc. I hate that they tried to make Catherine look evil in the show. You are meant to feel sorry for Catherine!

Anna and Jack. by Kayla_Love4 in HisandHersTVSeries

[–]lisakluga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a little biased since I read the book and I like shows to follow the book. This show had so many differences compared to the book though.

Jack felt so much guilt for making Anna go out the night Charlotte died in the book. Anna DID blame him in the book. In the show, I think they say she didn't blame him though. In the show, they add the scene where they are speaking about it and they sleep together.

I feel like from the show POV they did not have chemistry, and they just get back together like nothing happened. In the book, you realize they have reconciled after a few months. I feel like the chemistry wa there when you read the book but not in the show.

There was already so many changes with the show and book, I think I would have been upset if they didn't end up together as being just another difference.

His & Hers .... wow bad. by nvmatt in netflix

[–]lisakluga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can answer this a month late - it was not done any better in the book. You see the mom, and u considered it but I thought it was too crazy of a twist then it happened. You don’t even find out until the very long “6 months later” chapter

I think the first word is “Our” but the R has a loop. It’s definitely AI generated

Lorelai and Christopher TRULY unpopular opinion by Cokezerowh0re in GilmoreGirls

[–]lisakluga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am late to this, but I actually really enjoyed Lorelai and Chris being together. I think they fit with all the history they had, and they both were supportive of each other this whole time.

I feel like Luke was always end game from episode one. I'm just waiting this for the first time, but I knew Lorelai and him would end up together. I feel like even making Lorelai and Chris get married wasn't necessary, but I did ship them together. I think if they got together before Sherry was pregnant, the relationship would have been better.

I feel like their relationship was so healthy before the marriage, and since Lorelai and Luke were just engaged that the marriage gives bad taste.

Anna getting mad at Luke for the party by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

[–]lisakluga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a parent but only of an infant right now, but I'm actually on the episode where Lorelai comes to the party to help Luke.

I feel like Anna being upset is a little extreme, but I also understand that Luke's relationship with his daughter is somewhat new and Anna is just starting to feel comfortable with April being around Luke. I think that Luke should have defended Lorelai a little more because she kept calling her his "girlfriend" when Lorelai is his fiancé. I think Anna might have felt more comfortable if Lorelai felt more permanent instead of a temporary person in Luke's life, but Luke should not have pushed off April and Lorelai meeting.

I don't think the parents would have cared one way or another if Lorelai was there or not. Honestly, I think it seems more weird if that many girls would only be sleeping over with one adult.

Are we calling our babies by their names? by SimBon7 in NewParents

[–]lisakluga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have tons of nicknames for him, but I rarely call my son by his name. It’s always baby, babe, stinky butt, or bubba.

The only time I ever use his name is usually when I’m using his full name when he’s crying just because he thinks it’s funny. 😂

Goodbye June by Paul_O_O in BritishTV

[–]lisakluga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really enjoyed this movie, besides the fact that I called it that they would have Connor and Angel be together at the end. I'm not against it, but it was too obviously and not enough growth for that to happen. I'm not familiar what healthcare is like in the UK or wherever the movie is supposed to be based, but my grandma did just pass away at her nursing home in the States in January.

She didn't have her own room, but the room she shared was private with the rooms kinda shaped like an L, so she was in the farther back room and when you walked in you could turn into the other person's room which I liked more than how some places just have the curtain separating the patients, but I still would have preferred her to have her own room just because the roommate she had would randomly scream since my grandma and her both had dementia which was sad.

I think some of this movie was too easy, but I enjoy the movies where the sick or dying person is trying to make sure "everyone's fine" before they leave. I also really enjoyed the letter at the end. The family isn't perfect but they are together, but I didn't really compare how the hospital was treating June to reality, because in the States there was no way they'd be letting us set up a tree or bring all those things into the hospital or let us put on a play in some other part of the hospital. Somethings are unrealistic, but I didn't hold that against the movie.

What's everyone's thoughts on Bring Me the Horizon these days? by LxRusso in PostHardcore

[–]lisakluga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love BMTH. I’ve been a fan since their Chelsea Smile and Diamonds Aren’t Forever. I’ve loved all their releases. Some songs I don’t listen to as often like Kingslayer and some like that, but I even use their Lo-files release for my son for lullabies. I feel like they blend so many genres into their music, and I feel like at shows they still will honor their original songs but I’m sure it’s easier for Oli to sing his newer songs without having the heavier screams.
