No, advertisements, I don't want to "Get DISH Now". I had to pretend to sell it for a job test and I couldn't even convince myself.

This feels like lying, lol since I didn't actually provide any voices.

It did feel small! Parts of it felt more like an episode of a follow-up series to itself than a full-length movie.

Thank you all! Ah, so you have kids. I wonder, how old are you? 47. My birthday is in January, like April Winchell's (Cruella's voice actress in the series).

What sucks is the commercial where everyone has ugly hair and someone says, "Have you ever had déjà, déjà, déjà, déjà, déjà vu?" because you can't skip that part. All right, some of these other things suck more.

In May of 2012, I moved over a day's nonstop journey away from where I'd last been living for years before. I moved from the southern United States to right across a lake from Canada. I've lived a number of places, but I didn't really expect as much culture shock as I got. The north sees the south as a monolith of stupid people, and folks here like to discredit me by discrediting my few successes by saying, "No offense, but everything is easier in the south" despite their never having been to the south and having no way of knowing that. I think they get the impression that I walked into a one-room barnhouse and said, "YEEHAW, I DRESS FANCY, PUT ME IN CHARGE Y'ALL 'CAUSE I'M REAL PURDY" and some half-asleep drunk guy said, "Yup".
What happened was that I stopped working, I got sick while pregnant in 2011, my husband took time off his work to take care of me, two healthy baby girls were born, my husband got fired, and then my husband got a new offers in Texas and Ontario. My husband was born a dual citizen of the United States and Canada. We thought our whole family could get to Canada easily enough, and they did... except for me. Ironically, I was the reason we chose Ontario over Texas. I'm disabled, chronically ill, and uninsured, and Canada's healthcare is why we opted for Canada. Well, Canada isn't letting me become a citizen because I am a disabled and chronically ill adult. My husband has to cross the lake border to get to his work.
Everything is more expensive here than in the south. Boo to that.
People keep telling me to "LOOK OUT FOR LAKE EFFECT IN THE WINTER". The way I'm imagining it is the lake exploding like a volcano of snow, ice, and water, blowing everywhere, and flooding itself over buildings. I doubt it's actually like that, but that's how it sounds like.
I think we should have gone to Texas. Hopefully this area grows more likable.

Well welcome to the forum "Cruella" I'm Chels, one of the admins, artists, and rp'ers on here. If you need anything don't hesitate to ask! <3 You have 11 kids??? Wow.. that's a lot o.o Hey, Chels! Thanks! Yep, 11! Don't ask how I do it, because I don't even know how. I home school most of them, too, and no, we're not religious although we've met a lot of religious people because of this. Welcome to the forum "Cruella" Thank you! And thank you for putting up with my talking to you so much the other night/early morning/whatever it was for you! Y'all can call me Cruella, or Ella. I don't like to publicly give out my real name online, since it is unusual and I want to be anonymous online.

You know? You're like the third person to come to this board and name themselves after Cruella. Makes me wonder how many Cruella fans there really are out there. There's a good number, although I see more around Halloween than most times of the year. I am surprised this name was available.

As one who is autistic, I don't see how this could effect me, but I do find it rather interesting nonetheless. Oh, I think autism is definitely something that is effected by this language. There's so much variety in autism. It's not fair, for instance, for some autistic people to say autism is a difference and not a disability when it is both. That's not fair to other autistic people or even to the people who say that, because abilities can be inconsistent. Yes, I'm autistic. So is my husband. So are four of our children (at least, the youngest two are too young to tell) and one of my nephews. We're all very different in how we present, though we have some things in common. I'm surprised with Toys 'R' Us' current line-up of toys for autistic children, I have to say. I still don't agree with the concept, as I said before, but at least Toys 'R' Us isn't listening to the stereotype that autistic people can't be creative. Or maybe they do believe the stereotype and recommended some of the toys they did to teach creativity, although I don't think natural creativity can be taught. Still, at least this year's line-up does have actual fun toys instead of fifty million puzzles and LEARN TO TALK LIKE A NORMAL PERSON things, although there are those, too.

I tend to laugh at bad laughter.
My kids have this ridiculous running joke that really doesn't make any sense.
Knock, knock. Who's there? Daddy. Daddy who? DADDY, SAVE ME FROM MY TONSILS/LEGS/EYEBALLS/FINGERNAILS/[ANYTHING]!
This is comic gold to them.

Why are there no replies in this thread?
Gravity Falls is hilarious! The characters are great, complicated yet really funny, and the premise is awesome. The only character I can't stand is Pacifica, because I've been in Mabel's position with Pacifica-type rivals since around their ages. Har har. But that among other things gives the show some interesting realism.
I thought April Winchell was Lazy Susan, and found out Jennifer Coolidge voices her instead.
