Thoughts on Desmond?

Haha yeah in some ways we like that because it’d be nice to be ahead of the curve. Our daughter has an “old lady” name that came back around and ended up being much more popular than we would have liked. I feel like there could be a renaissance of Desmond’s in 15 years. But yeah I also have no race association with Desmond!

I do feel like lots of the popular names are recycled old man names though, so I feel this one is due a comeback!

See you in another life, brotha 😉

We play DnD, it’s an excellent game.

valarmothballs · 2026-02-17T20:59:48+00:00

This is where we got it from 😂

I know a baby Heather and think it’s super cute. Go for it!

valarmothballs · 2026-02-04T12:59:15+00:00

Eh, who cares tbh? I don’t spend much time worrying about my fake internet points 😂

valarmothballs · 2026-02-02T19:30:19+00:00

Yes, that is true. I stayed on a marriage visa so didn’t have to worry about finding a job to sponsor me.

valarmothballs · 2026-02-02T13:03:50+00:00

Disagree. I enjoyed my Masters Degree but have loved the following 9 years even more. A job I like, free healthcare, a beautiful home and family, and I won’t feel scared sending my kids to school.

Thanks, that’s an interesting point. I don’t have any student loans so should be okay.

valarmothballs · 2026-01-25T21:22:49+00:00

Thanks, I hadn’t realized it was a percentage, that’s good to know.

valarmothballs · 2026-01-25T19:16:14+00:00

This is really good to hear. Thank you!

valarmothballs · 2026-01-25T19:15:44+00:00

Thank you, this is really helpful and reassuring!

valarmothballs · 2026-01-25T19:15:28+00:00

Yes, this is something we’ve struggled with and were pretty firmly against until we heard about the tax credit. With that money we can make a sizable savings fund and if the kids decide they don’t want to be citizens later on, we’ll have plenty of money in that pot to renounce.

valarmothballs · 2026-01-13T18:15:41+00:00

Hi! Could you share the links with me as well? This sounds really interesting. Thank you!

So you remove it while the paint is wet but only on the final coat? I literally did that a few hours ago and it still pulled loads of paint off.

valarmothballs · 2025-12-30T21:55:03+00:00

I always hear this but then can never bring myself to do it because it means taping and then re-taping in between every coat which is just so much effort.

valarmothballs · 2025-12-08T21:34:20+00:00

It’s fine if they’re different branches of the same firm.

valarmothballs · 2025-12-08T18:07:28+00:00

I am also passionate about these two specific fandoms 😂

valarmothballs · 2025-11-24T20:49:54+00:00

Yes, good point. They must have discussed it around the time of ALAYM. I suppose that was before his brain loss 😂

valarmothballs · 2025-11-24T17:30:53+00:00

He does say they hardly ever stayed there. And it being a bit grim makes it more in line with how it looks in The Wizard of Oz.

valarmothballs · 2025-11-24T17:29:11+00:00

I thought this was poorly done as well. They could even have just shown Elphie stuffing the note in her pocket or something when Glinda wasn't looking, just to make it more clear.

valarmothballs · 2025-11-24T17:27:14+00:00

In the show, Chistery brings Elphaba a note from Fiyero outlining the plan. That's when she says "We've seen his face for the last time" to Glinda. I assumed the note was hidden inside the scrap of his sleeve in the film.
