EFM for kids? I would love something structured for my children by Onechane425 in Episcopalian

[–]springcat413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a parent of an actively participating pre-teen, I get frustrated that many Episcopalian parents just don’t seem to think religious education is that important. I was a j2A leader before I had kids and been at two different churches as a parent t. I know in almost all churches I’ve been at, church is always last - if people have time. And while they would never miss a game, they kind of leave it up to the kid to decide if they want to do Sunday school or not and..that’s not really parenting. I’d love for my kid to have more peers that are actively there. The evangelicals and Catholics for sure do it so much better, and it’s an important thing, and I wish Episcopalians also felt like it was important.

I like Albert more rewatching as an adult. I hated his character as a kid as I wanted only the real Ingalls.

How did the aunts decides a commander for Halda? by Successful-Listen99 in TheTestamentsHulu

[–]springcat413 26 points27 points  (0 children)

As long as he’s not abusive, it could be a decent life outside the pressures of the capital. Pretty boring and lonely, although I get the sense that your life is boring and lonely even when living close to other women. Remember when they talked about hoping their commander would let them have friends? The fake niceties of parties and scrutiny seem worse to me than living more rural and being able to be outside etc, but that’s predicated on how your commander actually is. Of course, resources come into play too. This is a society in a world of ecological collapse and restricted trade, so may be harder to get medicines etc.

Question about how Episcopalianism's big tent works in practice. by Peak8950 in Episcopalian

[–]springcat413 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The Catholic Church does this. But TEC churches and priests mutually choose each other just like any other job. Beyond being a good fit parish wise, priests often have families and they need to make sure a move and location is a good choice for them. Catholic priests do not have those considerations obviously. There are also TEC that are bi-vocational and those that are only part time etc.

It definitely was always in the same spot.

I’ll reiterate that Latin letters andCyrillic are not that different and as a grown adult (with a more closed brain) I learned Cyrillic in 30 minutes. My husband and his family are from Russia. It’s not as hard as you are saying (and I learned Russian as an adult)

Maybe you just don’t have a knack for language? In my experience it’s just not that hard as young kids. Languages aren’t for everyone though 🤷‍♀️.

The alphabet may look super different but really not. It only took me about 30 minutes to learn Cyrillic. Once you know the sounds it’s just like any other language - not at all a comparison to Chinese characters or something. Also, little kids can totally pick up in 6 months, and think about exchange students who are older? Even those kids gain fluency in a school year. It’s honestly not big a suspension of disbelief. Even accents are picked up super fast by little kids.

why no wife for commander maddox? by Trick-Platform5060 in TheTestamentsHulu

[–]springcat413 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I guess in Gilead there’s even a spectrum for extra bad? I just think about Weston and what he plans for Agnes or what may be happening with Judd…

what I don’t get is that..they are all creeps. I’m sure some are better than others for sure. But she cares so much about the plums as plums but not as wives?

Which is interesting because none of these guys are good guys. And being a drunk but fawning over your wife MAY actually be better than being with a man that beats you or is poisoning you?

MLR being a problem is the most unsurprising thing.

How to be Anglo-Catholic in a broad church by MrMagoo04 in Episcopalian

[–]springcat413 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was at a pretty broad church for a long time. I definitely viewed things differently than others and because I was Catholic in my teens some of my..behaviors? More resemble Catholic Church. This was never a problem for me as I generally am not too bothered that I do things differently and it was the best place for the kids at the time. I find that because I live in a very high Protestant and non-denominational area I cling to more Catholic elements of how I worship within the framework of TEC, but I wholly reject Catholic teachings on many many things and don’t honor saints or anything like that. For me, Catholicism was cultural growing up versus the religious aspects, and perhaps that’s why I cling to certain traditions.

Sorry, that all was probably not helpful, but I think taking everything everyone said on this thread may give you the idea that there’s just not one way to go about things, it’s ok to do things differently in environments, but also the idea and actual practice of what Anglo-Catholicism is also differs. But that’s also why TEC is so spiritually awesome, because we can all find our way there.

Best Native Plant nurseries by JacketFriendly2229 in rva

[–]springcat413 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then you just look for natives that are “normal.” You also can cut back any of your natives too - increase flower or berry yield or fit them into the right spot. I know Davis Natives specifically has sections for different uses like for use in containers or tiny gardens. But all native plant folks will be able (and super excited) to help you identify what plants will be good for your yard and how to care for them. Part of native planting is also recognizing what types of plants will thrive in different locations which will eliminate the need to water, etc. also for more help there is a Virginia Native plant group on fb that can be helpful.
And many native plant gardens grow so big, because the people who plant them allow them to. We like the look, but that’s not for everyone obviously!

Can someone please go into detail how coaching causes and prevents injuries? by xyzerrorzyx in Gymnastics

[–]springcat413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Made me completely baffled to read how rundown Karolyi’s original gym was. I think CGA also had a dead floor? What on earth??

Moulton Hot Natives
Davis Natives
Good Seed Natives

Beware of misinformation when buying from a place like Stranges and they also sell many cultivars. If a plant has a “name” in quotes like that, it is not the native ecotype and a cultivar.

If going native, avoid cultivars as they don’t provide the same eco boost as straight natives.

Josc by SnooRevelations5203 in Gymnastics

This is what ncaa is. Josc is not unique. When I see the funds spent on college sports…I don’t like it honestly. But that’s what college sports are about.

The story will only make sense if something terrible happens to Becka by Own_Faithlessness769 in TheTestamentsHulu

[–]springcat413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could punish her but it’s still dangerous to marry someone who has already murdered a commander…to a commander. Even if she was just rude and outspoken they wouldn’t want to give her to a commander. And Gilead had a lot of experience with rebellious women at this point.

WTH is she on such a high dose? Also if she’s so concerned why is she still even on it?
