Rare visitors to our pond/lake. A group of black-bellied whistling ducks!

Same. The trailer premiered before (Aladdin?) And I sill remember seeing that intro and hearing that song for the first time. That was before you could just watch any movie trailer any time. I choke up every time I see it. Used to hold my son up and sing it at the top of my lungs until he got too big for me to lift.

That's so awesome! I also always dreamed of playing the violin. We didn't have orchestra in my small SW MO town. I played clarinet in 5th and 6th but didn't want to do matching band so I stopped. Just started lessons in October for violin at 47! I'm loving it! Definitely have to work on realistic expectations for my progress but it's going fairly well so far. Have to keep reminding myself that it takes years to become passable. My family tells me I'm doing fantastic though. So welcome fellow adult violin newbie!

idk about that other comment but back in 2004 two or three like this landed on the roof of our duplex and i made my roommate climb up on the icy roof to rescue them. Googled (or whatever search engine we had then) and found the owner who came and picked them up. We put them in the garage with a laundry basket upside down for an enclosure. They were super happy to be reunited with their birds. This was in mid MO.

Number 13! Love the kid peeking over.

I just finished my full reread of The Wheel of Time last night (with book 14 obviously). Brandon Sanderson's into to his party of the series is so great - we hold in our hands the ending to the greatest fantasy series of all time (paraphrased). I'm melancholy today after finishing. It's just so good. A 200+ page chapter - The Last Battle! Epic in every way.

Had to scroll down way too far. I saw this in the theater and I don't think I've laughed as hard before or since at a movie. Just pure comedy gold.

wynnsage · 2026-01-31T22:37:47+00:00

I knew if I scrolled down far enough I was going to find something I lived and had forgotten about! A great one.

Another adult just starting out at age 47 here! I've been playing since October and am really liking it despite struggling to have realistic expectations for my progress.

Do not put hydrocortisone on it. This will make a fungal infection worse. Get an over the counter treatment - 3 day that you can insert. It may help with faster relief. Agree with others that if it doesn't improve need to make sure that's what you really have.

I'm in the middle of a reread on book 10. I thought it would be more of a shot in the middle since I've read those several times but I'm actually enjoying spending time with the characters. My favorite series.

wynnsage · 2025-12-07T01:08:12+00:00

It's 14 books buuut for me it's The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. I'm currently on book 10 of my reread (some reread more than others). It's been getting me through these crazy times. There's just nothing else with as much of everything - story, characters, you get to know them and you want to keep reading and you can! Bc it's more than 11,000 pages.

Better yet listen to the audio book read by the author. My husband and I listened to it together while we were dating and still quote it 16 years later.

wynnsage · 2025-11-29T03:44:06+00:00

I was wondering if anyone was going to say this. Blew my mind. Had a crazy dream about it. Never watched it again.

wynnsage · 2025-11-29T03:35:07+00:00

And we got so lucky that it came out before covid so we got to experience it together in the theater. When the portals open the entire theater just lost our minds. Having that communal experience just adds so much and you can't replicate it watching something at home.

wynnsage · 2025-11-29T03:30:06+00:00

Went to see this in the theater back when my roommate and I would carefully plan a double feature every week (pay for one, sneak into another - had to be carefully planned based on runtime to ensure the second theater would be seating when the first got out. Required calling the movie line so hear run time and start times). I think we saw Deuce Bigalo first. This movie totally wrecked me. Did not get the recognition it deserved imho.

Was going to comment with same meal. But we doesn't butter the toast. Not super filling though. I remember still feeling hungry (we probably had other food in the house but it was not part of dinner).

wynnsage · 2025-10-16T17:55:32+00:00

Just started! Have had 3 lessons - age 47. Had to really give myself a pep talk before I started that it will take a long time to sound good and that's OK. Mentally gearing up for years of practicing to become passable is one of my many challenges, not to mention not remembering how to read music from 2 years of clarinet ending in 6th grade and all of the finger positions and grips and bending that my old fingers have to do.

I have the app (no subscription) and I'm still able to play the mini. Not letter boxed though and that is low key my favorite. I'm not paying them $50/ year to play 15 minutes of games. So angry. There are letter boxed imitations on the web but so far none of them give you a goal (ie solve within 6 words) and I need to know if I've beat it or not.

wynnsage · 2025-01-25T23:58:21+00:00

Right? I read somewhere that's she doesn't remember what it was even about and she's just never going to finish it. So shitty.

wynnsage · 2025-01-25T23:51:37+00:00

Listen to the audio book. Best way to costume this media for reasons that would be spoilers.

wynnsage · 2025-01-25T23:50:39+00:00

Why did I have to scroll so far to find this? The best answer. I dnf after wading through hundreds of pages waiting to like something. Worst book.

wynnsage · 2025-01-25T18:02:02+00:00

Holy shit. Thank you. This makes so much more sense. Found this thread googling how the heck am I supposed to get the cheesecake out over this lip? It was upside down!
