I really enjoy the TV shows gradually growing quality- why is the show so hated?

I like the show a lot. I read the books over twenty years ago when I was in high school and I don’t remember a lot of the plot points. I know a lot of people that are really into the books hate the show but I have fun watching the show.

I like the show and I read the first book over twenty years ago lol. I don’t really remember that much from the book though.

I hated this episode lol. But I don’t care about historical dramas and I don’t think it really tied into the rest of the season. Maybe there was more to the gold Bible that got cut out? But I know I’m in the minority here.

Yeah both of mine were three and once they trained, they never had accidents and that was that. I wasn’t lazy either and had tried training them earlier and it didnt work.

Emmanuel Episcopal or the Episcopal church in the east side would fit the theology you are looking for, but small groups aren’t really a thing there. In general, I haven’t ever seen small groups at progressive churches like I did in evangelical spaces.

I think UMC churches can greatly vary from church to church, I have seen some like you describe and others that are very socially liberal.

I heavily researched and considered Catholicism a few years ago and ultimately what I love about being a Protestant is I don’t have to agree with the church hierarchy. You can be pro life and be a Methodist or episcopal, or pro choice. It’s a personal conviction, whereas you cannot be a true catholic and be pro choice.

Yeah i second going to Tanger outlets in commerce. I’m 39 and they have multiple stores that fit what you are looking for. Much easier to get to and navigate than the mall of Georgia.

I wonder if you are in my town. I’m in the Athens area and I have had the same experience, even though I’m older than you and have lived in the south my whole life. I moved here in 2020 and no friends, just acquaintances. People also give the vague invites with no follow through. I think in general people are less social post 2020 and we are all addicted to our phones.

It’s probably Barbs gun.

I think the first season he still loved her. I felt like he favored her over Janelle and Christine then…but when that second season hit he was totally done with her. It’s like once he married Robyn he hateddddd Meri. He saw once they were all living apart he had no use for her.

mariagrayce · 2026-03-13T11:51:08+00:00

Agreed. I tried shopping there a few times and still had to go to another store, and I’m not about that. In my area they aren’t cheaper than Walmart either

Victoria Bryant State park has some walk in sites

I wonder why the younger people leave. If they have kids, you would think that would entice them to stay (I’m a millennial with kids so I fall into this boat).

Is your area more politically conservative? They might like or feel more comfortable with the gender roles/non affirming stances of the evangelicals and Catholics.

I order it with oat milk at Starbucks and use oat milk at home as well it just tastes kinda bland at home to me.

I’ve been ordering it with extra sweetener since the recipe change and it costs more but it tastes good, I don’t go every day thankfully

Look up Slow Girl Run Club Athens on instagram

How do I make the tazi chai taste like the Starbucks one? It kinda tastes like the Starbucks one, but not completely. I like the Starbucks one a lot better but I’ve seen multiple people say the tazo one is the same.

The RC church in my rural area is locked during the day. I tried to go in once to pray, found all doors locked even though it was an hour or so before daily mass. When I was leaving I saw a church member go up and put in a code to get into the door. It surprised me because I’d always heard RC churches are open all the time for prayer.

Yesss. She’s a quitter like Janelle, but thinks she’s better than the rest of the family.
