For me it was when Marcus mentioned Adam and the Ants.

Immediately brought back my high school obsession with “Goody two shoes” Adam Ant’s first solo single.

Every time the episode got difficult I paused and threw this on as a palate cleanser.

Curious as to what helped everyone else get through it.

So I live in an apartment building and the neighbours across the hall have a child who screams from like 6 am to 10pm.

I’m not talking a baby, I get it babies cry. this child is like 4 or 5 years old and from sunup to sundown they shriek so loud I can hear it in my bedroom (the furthest room from my front door)

I’ve had noise complaints about my dog who occasionally barks at the elevator and tends to lose his shit with excitement when I have guests. Dogs bark that’s what they do but I can understand the annoyance and the vet has given me a small dose of trazodone to give him when I work to keep him chill.

How hard is it to stop your child from actively screaming their face off at all hours of the day. It would be one thing if it was once or twice a day but it’s pretty much constant and there are times they bring the child into the hallway to run up and down the hall..while screaming.

I understand there could be an underlying behavioural issue causing this and have tried to be understanding but after 6 months of constant screaming Im starting to go a little crazy and am ready to scream myself.

I know I’m probably being a total c word complaining about this but I honestly don’t know what to do at this point. I’m not going to that person who goes to the door to tell someone how to parent their child. I’ve had someone suggest calling CPS but I feel that would be a complete over reaction and dick move.

I don’t know how to deal with neighbours like this. I have senior cat with early onset feline dementia so moving doesn’t really work for me right now.

I do feel like a dick that it bothers me but after half a year of screaming I think anyone would be a little annoyed.

Rant over.

I’ve watched some pretty messed up and upsetting shit in my time and have been able to sit through it all.

But there is one movie that made me tap out. I think I made it 10 minutes in before I said “yeah, can’t do this one”

The film in question being 2001’s August Underground.

I’ve been called a wimp for tapping out but I just couldn’t do it.

Was anyone else supremely disappointed with this one?

I love me a little Celina Myers but this was a total let down.

So many missed opportunities to make it great

Suggestions for good hairstylists in K/W?

ones good with wolfcuts/ alternative styles would be a bonus.

I will always adore The Lottery by Shirley Jackson.
