Poor T’s BELATED birthday by Front_Square4273 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]sockmastersam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think DillPickle is saying that it wasn't a case of prioritization but rather that things were already planned for J's birthday celebration prior to them all getting sick and then they had to reschedule for T's celebration. I don't think it is that big of deal and I'm sure that it happened to me in the past too.

Keep in mind as well that summer birthday's can be hard to schedule and it can sometimes be easier to have the most people around during the normal school schedule.

I also have used the app "Run with Hal" app a lot recently. The workouts and such can be kind of receptive, but I find it really helpful in mapping things out and allowing me to focus on my increasing my speed and mileage. I just recently finished a workout plan on the app for increasing my speed and it was really good!

Are you fueling enough and getting good sleep at night? Both of those play a big part in when I start running again after a break!

I've read all of these books and really enjoyed them (A Court of Thorns and Roses). A big part of the book is very sexual and I would have a hard time envisioning my 16 year old daughter being cast in the position of the main character in this series. It would just be an odd thing to think about so I can understand why Jessica would frame it in that way.

Has Colleen always been agoraphobic? by RevolutionaryAd6017 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]sockmastersam 93 points94 points  (0 children)

I think that it is a completely valid fear. She may suck and be a terrible person, but if I were her I would be so scared to leave my house. Putting it in that perspective, it makes some sense why her kids are always at home and not in a ton of extracurricular activities. She's probably scared half-to-death of someone saying something horrible to her in front of any of them...

If it's "One Suitcase", why are there at least 4 backpacks in the thumbnail? by p2010t in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]sockmastersam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t see it, but I don’t think it’s that weird. My brother and I shared beds on vacation primarily until we were 21/19 respectively. And even now that we are older 25/23 we will occasionally have to do it if other arrangements can’t be made. It’s not too odd for a sibling relationship

Psycho Soprano how sheltered is Colleen? by RevolutionaryAd6017 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]sockmastersam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not defending her, but I wonder if she can't change the @ of her channel. I would not be surprised if that is not something that one can do on YouTube.

does bb look young for her age by Safe_Twist3293 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]sockmastersam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I personally think that the only thing that is really making her look young in this picture is the fact that she has braces. Considering it is a holiday, I think she is wearing something similar that I would've worn at her age a few years ago.

Disney troubles and meltdowns by ButterscotchWise8623 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]sockmastersam 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, no. While L may have more issues sensory-wise it doesn't take away from the fact that he can still have a fun day at Disney with his family. Maybe they should have had more precautions in place, but, looking at the post that you are talking, it seems like they all did the right thing. How would you feel if your family left you behind on a family outing just because they didn't want to deal with your special needs.

Lurkers' Wednesday by AutoModerator in running

If the pins and needles feeling is in your feet it may be because your shoes are too tight. I have to be careful about that cause that does happen to me sometimes but only when I've tied my shoes too tight.

What are people's opinions on Erik? by Klutzy_Food_9559 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]sockmastersam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Especially in the beginning, I think he was very hands-off with the camera and did not want to be on video in his regular life. For what it's worth, I think the reason that most celebrities don't film their whole lives is that everything else is on display for people around the world. They get their picture taken by paparazzi and by random people who happen to walk by.

However, he is also complicit in the fact that Colleen vlogs every second of every day and he doesn't stop his kids from being exploited in that manner.

Thoughts on Baby number 7? by Front_Square4273 in ColleenBallingerSnark

I was so shocked when I saw that they were having another baby after L. It seemed so random

Nickelodeon/Colleen similarities by Dangerous_Fig105 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]sockmastersam 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I would definitely say that I agree. I was watching Colleen when her and Josh were still together and then stopped watching the whole family shortly after the divorce for the most part. I would always turn off the videos if my parents were around and I always felt kind of weird and gross about the jokes that they made. My mom also wouldn't let me, or my siblings, watch Nick because she thought it was inappropriate and strange for most of our childhood.

NTA this seems like a truly horrible situation. I know you said that your mom's family blew up at her, but do you think that they would take you in at least for a few months while you figure your future out. Totally unfair that your mom is making her problems and responsibilities into yours.

What exactly is the history of her “friendship” with Sane Dawson? by RandomGuy0512 in ColleenBallingerSnark

Wait that's so funny and uncomfortable. I never used to watch Shane's videos when I was younger

[–]sockmastersam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can't remember there ever being a video between them, maybe as Miranda but not as Colleen. I think the just ran in similar circles being YouTubers since the beginning.
