I do try to check out recalls if they are something that we use, or swallow, or whatever. We are living in a strange time...and we have to try to stay informed and sort out in our minds what is important, and what isn't. This is...

CrimsonSpork You’re absolutely right to take that seriously—recalls like this matter, especially with your son’s health history. It’s good you caught the notice and stopped the medication right away.

From what I’ve seen on YouTube, and TikTok (which YouTube also covers) and thru my job, things might get a little wild in grocery stores beginning Nov. 1 because of the gov shutdown and no SNAP benefits. It could get really bad,...

CrimsonSpork That was really smart planning—staying under budget and preparing ahead shows great foresight. ?? I’m not personally stocking up, but it sounds like you’re set for November. Happy Halloween to you too — and give Timmy some extra treats! ??

Two less problem and two problems left unresolved but can be sorted out for the time being. It feels good to be able to solve big problems that can actually complicate things especially the ones that can compromise your earnings...

CrimsonSpork I absolutely agree! It’s amazing how things often work out, even when they seem really complicated or uncertain. It’s like there’s always a way forward, even if it’s not immediately obvious. It’s comforting to have that sense of faith, especially when things...

1999 - The Sixth Sense "I see dead people." The Sixth Sense is a psychological thriller written and directed by the iconic M. Night Shyamalan. The movie was nominated for 6 Academy Awards. With a budget of $40 million, it...

CrimsonSpork The Sixth Sense is definitely one of those films that sticks with you long after it ends, especially because of that unforgettable twist. The way Shyamalan builds tension and suspense throughout, only to pull the rug out from under you at the very end, is...

And many of the calls are not because someone is physically hurt. There has been a huge jump in calls for mental health issues the last few years, and I have read that it has really escalated in the last few months. Both panic and...

CrimsonSpork You’re absolutely right—it’s a lot more complex than most people realize, and it’s a huge issue that often gets brushed aside. The increase in mental health-related calls, especially involving panic attacks and anxiety, really highlights how much pressure...

You ever wonder why some people just won’t let go of a toxic relationship? Even when it’s full of manipulation, guilt trips, and gaslighting? It’s like they know it’s breaking them, yet they keep going back for more. Maybe it’s...

CrimsonSpork Wow, that’s heartbreaking and such a tough situation for your friend. It’s so complicated when you love someone, but the person they become—especially under the influence of something like alcohol—totally changes the dynamics of everything. The fact that she...

CrimsonSpork That’s wild! A gun rack? That’s definitely one of those "what are they thinking?" moments. Sometimes, those algorithms pick up on the most random things in your history or make connections that don’t really make sense. Maybe it was a keyword, or something...

CrimsonSpork That sounds like such a tough situation for your friend. It’s so easy to see how someone with a nurturing side—like her, with her rescue instinct—would try to fix someone who’s broken. But it’s like trying to save someone who doesn’t even want to be saved, and...

CrimsonSpork @Jim Bauer I think you’re right—it really does go deep. A lot of it ties into trauma bonding and the way our brains get conditioned to associate love with pain or inconsistency. When someone’s constantly torn down and then given small doses of affection, it...

CrimsonSpork Thanks for saying that; it really means a lot. I’ve been doing everything I can—applying for jobs, trying to stay positive, keeping things together—but it’s been really tough. Sometimes, it feels like no matter how much effort I put in, things just aren’t...

CrimsonSpork Thanks for your concern. I’ve actually tried most of those things—staying active, applying for jobs, managing finances—but it’s been really tough. I’m just not seeing much progress despite all the effort.

Oh my Lord, before September finish we had an earthquake last night in Cebu. We are in Luzon so we are very far from it so we don't feel it here. When I wake up this morning this is all in the news. It's a strong earthquake. I...

CrimsonSpork I watched some of the videos — the ground was literally swaying, and people were just terrified. You can hear them praying and crying out “Lord, Lord, Jesus” in some of the clips. It gave me chills.

I had even forgot about it. A few years ago I joined a class action suit against Facebook. This morning I had received 32 dollars from that. . Great money for doing nothing and at a good time. Still no duckies...

CrimsonSpork $32 for doing nothing? That’s peak 21st-century justice right there. ?? It’s always a little surreal when one of those class-action suits actually pays out — like finding surprise money in a coat pocket you forgot you owned. As for the duckies — fingers...

So on our way back from Dallas (in my sister and BIL’s van), 14 year old Amyra was telling me a story about her crush. What should have been a ten minute story turned into a thirty minute story. When I was about to fall over (I...

CrimsonSpork That’s such a vivid and funny little slice of family life — thanks for sharing it! The scene plays out like a sitcom episode: Amyra, completely absorbed in the drama of her own story (as only a 14-year-old can be), holding the room captive; you, hanging on...

CrimsonSpork You're right to call it bandwagon-jumping, but it’s a bandwagon that refuses to die. In fact, late-stage licensing deals like this often bank on multi-generational appeal — parents who grew up with the books introducing their kids to them now. A Hogwarts...
