An Awfully Big Adventure

My name is Kate. I'm 25. I ride horses. Feel free to message me anything.

What I was actually coming here to blog about…

I was reading my witch book on break at work, and it told me to keep black obsidian with me to absorb negativity.

And I laughed because I literally have a small potato in my pocket right now for exactly that.

[lazywitchling]

idk why I think of potatoes as 'absorbent', but I do. And at work, every day there is at least one small potato that breaches containment from its cardboard box home and lands on the floor. Instead of throwing it out immediately, one day I just tucked it into my pocket and then threw it out at the end of the day. 10/10, do recommend.

[ei-len]

ok but potatoes are ABSOLUTELY magically absorbent and that is an excellent use for a spare potato.

[upthewitchypunx]

In cooking if your soup is too salty you can put potato in it, simmer it, and discard the salty potato. So, that makes since.

[ei-len]

Potat: It ABSORBS!

[thedirtwitch]

Tbh I trust the potato more than obsidian. What has obsidian ever done for me personally?? Now a potato on the other hand . . . that's an honest creature. I trust it.

THIS IS A MAGICALLY SOUND PRINCIPAL

calling myself babe when I'm talking to myself. in a pitying but loving way. like babe you gotta get up. babe why are you doing this. babe you're giving me nothing here

[frumpycunt]

so i just finished watching the extended editions of the trilogy which is nearly 13 hrs long and this meme is correct somehow. this is the only line legolas speaks to frodo in the entire series. the only other debatable line is a scene in fellowship where legolas is speaking to gimli but frodo just happens to be near them and he’s cut to for a reaction shot. i wouldn’t really count it though since it wasnt directed at him.

[frumpycunt]

someone already posted this but the kicker is at the end of return of the king where frodo sees the fellowship again and calls out to everyone by name except for legolas lmaooo

This is the full question and response in case anyone is curious. It’s awesome.

Dear Care and Feeding,

My wife and I and our 4-year-old son were out to dinner last week. It was a medium-nice restaurant, not fast food, but not super fancy either. My son is a normal, active little boy, and it’s hard for him to sit through a whole dinner, so we let him explore the restaurant a little. I noticed our waitress giving him the hairy eyeball, so we asked him to stop running. He was pretty good about it after that, but he did get underfoot when she was carrying a tray, and she spoke to him pretty sharply to go back to our table and sit down. I felt it was completely uncalled for, and she should have come and spoken to us personally instead of disciplining someone else’s child.

I tipped 5 percent and spoke briefly to her manager, who gave noncommittal replies. My wife agrees with me, but when we posted about it on Facebook, we got a lot of judgy responses.

—It’s Hard for a 4-Year-Old to Sit Still

Dear Sit Still,

Yeah, this is your fault. It’s hugely your fault. Of course it’s hard for a 4-year-old to sit still, which is why people usually stick to fast-dining establishments while working on restaurant manners. It’s why one parent usually responds to a fidgety kid who wants to “explore” by taking him outside the restaurant, where he can get his wiggles out while not taking laps around servers precariously carrying trays of (often extremely hot) food and drink.

A kid “exploring” a restaurant is not a thing. When you did intervene, it wasn’t to get him back in his seat. It was just to instruct him to “stop running.” You weren’t parenting, so a server did it for you. She was right. You were wrong.

Your son is not ready to eat at a “medium-nice” restaurant again until he is capable of behaving a little better. You can practice at home. You can practice at McDonald’s. You can try a real restaurant again with the understanding that one of you may need to take him out when he starts getting the urge to run an obstacle course.

I doubt that you will do this, but I encourage you to return the restaurant, apologize to the manager for complaining about your server, and leave her a proper tip.

Mend your wicked ways.

[fieldbears]

I’ve seen parents escort kids outside for a break. I’ve also seen parents walk with the kid around the restaurant, letting them “explore” while holding their hand and keeping them from moving too fast or going somewhere they shouldn’t be. If you don’t have enough time for either of those things, it’s just like when you don’t have enough money to tip: don’t go. :)

[swancensus]

I’ve absolutely told kids off for being in the way, being overly loud or running. They respond very well to it because little kids are always surrounded by grownups telling them what to do, at nursery, school, daycare etc. They’re usually cool with it

I’m not sure which is funnier. Stanley Tucci saying that Ryan Reynolds is a sexier bald man than Prince William when he has a full head of hair, or Stanley Tucci saying that TILDA SWINTON is a sexier bald man than Prince William.

[athena1138]

He’s correct
