I don't see it at all. I have mixed feelings on the show. It can be really funny, but it's often more laughing at nerds than laughing with nerds. I've also no idea what I think of Sheldon and his relationship with his friends. I'm all for complicated comedic friendships - I love Cruella and Anita - but Sheldon's friends seem to either let him be really annoying when they shouldn't or act overly harsh to him when they shouldn't. They need to pick a personality when it comes to him, or have an explanation for all the mixed signals they give him. And Sheldon himself gets on my nerves and it takes a lot for a character to get on my nerves, even though he's often the funniest part of the show. What the writers want you to think of Sheldon, I really don't know.

Aw, the Babs episode is my favorite episode of the season so far. Do you think Babs is related to her cousin Applejack's Aunt and Uncle Orange? She is from Manehattan, like the Oranges.

1) I have no idea what the theme song is saying past a point. "WE CAN BEGIN"?
2) Why is it called a pet shop when it's a pet supply store and day care?
3) Twilight Barkle is a clever fan nickname for Zoe, and I like the triple crossover in the name, but all that is Twilight Sparkle about Zoe is her hair and general color scheme. She's much more like Rarity!
4) Yes, I like the show!

Ooooooh, so that's what the apology message I received was about. Well, just so you know, I was never upset. I know this thread isn't serious, but I just don't think suicide is something to joke about. Hard enough when you've had suicidal thoughts and no one believed you because you were already seen as just an attention-seeker not to be taken seriously, and I don't think joking about suicide is a step in the right direction. I'm still not upset at anyone here. I'm just trying to explain my perspective.
All right, enough with the gloom and back on topic.

Thank you so much! I'm only six weeks along, so I have no idea about the gender yet. Nicholas Ian is the boy name I've chosen, and Lilith [Undecided Middle Name] is the girl name, so for now I'm calling the embryo Nicolith. Most of my family doesn't know yet. Only my husband, my oldest daughter, my oldest niece, and a few friends know. I don't think most of my extended relations or older relations would be supportive at all if they knew, based on past experience. I've had kids before, and every time I've been pregnant, people have (always unsuccessfully) tried to talk me out of pregnancy. I was raised to think someone (autistic, bipolar, et cetera) like me shouldn't have kids, and when I said I wanted kids, most people tried to say I shouldn't. "What if they're like you?" was the most common "reason" I "shouldn't" have children. People thought I could do things, but the last thing most wanted was more people like me. So by adulthood, my wanting children was a secret. (The ironic thing is that my sister was pressured to have kids, and her kids are, in different ways, more like what people worried my kids would be like than my own kids are. I don't think a lot of people understand genetics very well!) I had planned to eventually have kids anyway, when I felt ready. I've felt for a long time that if I give my descendants the type of love I didn't get from my parents (and aunts and uncles, and so on), then I am doing the best I can. I like to think I've so far succeeded at that. I probably have. My kids adore me and brag about being my kids, one of my nephews credits me with saving his life, my other nephew and youngest niece think I'm great, and my oldest niece... well, my oldest niece and I definitely have an Ivy and Cruella relationship, but she does love me, even if she doesn't necessarily respect me. I think she does appreciate me now that she has grown up, though she's not one bit as mushy as I am so she doesn't say so. Anyway, about having children of my own, I rather expected to be a single mother. I was wonderfully surprised to not be. My husband is awesome and loving, and he wanted the same things I wanted. (Cruella and Lars from the animated movie sequel are my favorite Cruella pairing because of us. I think they'd have worked out had Cruella not gone back to being evil. I also think the TV series version of Cruella would have appreciated Lars more, taking into account things like the Valentine's Day episode and how she obviously wanted love. Now I'm really getting off the point!) My oldest daughter has a very strong relationship with her parents and she turns eighteen tomorrow, proof that I can successfully raise children into adulthood. I could brag about her forever, and I hope I do just as well with her younger siblings and cousins. (My husband and I are the legal guardians of my sister's youngest three kids. Long story.) I'm so glad to be a mom. Being a mother was my secret ultimate dream, and it became my reality. I didn't expect to have the support of a partner, either, and I do have that. I'm one of those women who walks around with a silly grin about being pregnant. ;D Nicolith is already so loved. ♡ This is what six weeks in the womb looks like: I don't know about you, but I think that's magical!

I adored this movie!
Thank you, Disney, so freaking much for writing a disability storyline. I don't want to give away the movie for people who haven't seen it, but I'm talking about Vanellope's storyline. I'm really impressed with how they included King Candy telling Ralph he was "protecting" Vanellope when he really was against her. Especially in a kid's film, to show an antagonist having fake concern for a disabled person in the name of taking away her rights? Wow! Seriously, Disney, thank you!
There are many great things about this movie, but that really stood out to me. People are absolutely raised to think disabled folks can't make their own decisions and should be treated as Other, so for a great movie like this to address that is a huge step toward progress that personally means a lot to me.

I've avoided watching that because I want to actually not be disgusted by my food. ;D

I actually did not know that Spot was Tara Strong, because I never would have guessed! By the way, I like how April Winchell actually looks like Cruella:

There is a store right across the street from my home that is selling Hostess products for a dollar each now. I should probably take advantage of this and get rich.

To be honest, Adam Sandler usually annoys me. My husband finds him annoying, too, but he wanted me to see 50 First Dates and I did. Husband was right about it actually being sweet. We cried and kissed to that movie!
I also like Funny People.
I can't think of other Adam Sandler movies that I actually like. I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is okay, I guess. Click I have mixed feelings about. It makes me sad!
I guess my ranking is
1. 50 First Dates 2. Funny People 3. Click 4. I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry 5. I don't know, I don't really like Adam Sandler usually

I thought Crystal Empire was good, but Sombra was kind of a letdown for me. Heck, I think Gak (From those stupid commercials that ran every commercia break) got more screentime than Sombra! King Sombra looks like a Homestuck character.

Melanie and Jarrod might be siblings or a couple! Welcome!
Edit: I was wrong. Welcome anyway!

Whether you like Obama and the Democratic party or not, this was between Obama and Romney. The better choice between the two won. I don't support all the decisions Obama has made. But as a disabled woman and the mother of another disabled woman, I was terrified of Romney winning.
