I’m so sorry for your loss, losing loved ones is so hard.

I’m so sorry for your loss, and for poor V. She was so adorable with her markings. Losing a loved one suddenly can be traumatic, I am really feeling for you.

One of the cinemas in my town had a viewing of this film as well. It’s one of my favorite horror films of all time! I think since Sam Neill died recently a lot of cinemas are showing films he starred in.

Hard agree with your comment. Another phrase I keep reading when any women’s issue comes up: ‘Sounds like gender war bullshit to me’, or some other expression of the same idea, and I absolutely hate it.

Same! I loved it when I was young.

The ‘Flowers in the Attic’ series by V.C. Andrews is full of incestuous relationships. Actually, incest seems to be a theme in many of her books.

Was hoping to see at least one Odyssey joke here 😄

I think you’re confusing Aeolus and the Laestrygonians. Odysseus first meets Aeolus in Aeolia, where he’s given the gift of wind, then he goes to Telepylus where he meets the young girl, Antiphates’ daughter. That’s where they are attacked by the Laestrygonians.

Hard agree, so many good songs on West End Girl!

Those look great! And the peanut butter sauce is an absolute must!

And here we have another aspect of rape culture on display: dehumanization through sexual objectification.

I will always choose to take a train over a plane when traveling. The check-in and boarding is easier and less time-consuming, there’s more personal space in the seating, and I get to check out the views on the journey.

That one is not a family film😅

‘That’ can be an acceptable relative pronoun to refer to people, depending on the sentence structure and context.

Those both sound like they’d be great summer snacks!

Every recipe I’ve tried from this site has been an absolute banger; the cornbread is my jam!

Cool! I’ll have to look for some the next time I hit up the Asian supermarket.

Nice! There’s always green beans around here, so I’ll have to give it a go

A bit of honey sounds interesting!

This is a good recipe to get started; it’s for fridge pickles, so it’s a bit simple than doing the whole canning process and the result is delicious!
