It is crazy how many actors from Dawson's Creek were on Criminal Minds and tbh, I love that.

- Meredith Monroe played Haley on CM and Andie on DC
- James Van Der Beek was Tobias on CM and Dawson on DC
- Kerr Smith was >!suspected to be "The Mad Butcher of Bakersfield" !<and Jack on DC
- Mary-Margaret Humes was that woman in prison who killed her husband and kids and whom Hotch and Rossi were asked to evaluate for battered woman syndrome annd was Gail Leery, Dawson's mother, on DC
- Jane Lynch was Spencer Reid's mother on CM and Pacey Witter's mother on Dawson's Creek (albeit many people forget she was on DC at all)

I think they were all great but JVD and MMH really stood out in their episodes and Tobias>! is still my favourite unsub!<.

I know this is not much and the collections here have plenty of watches, but I love them, I love this sub and I love watching your collections!

I have noticed that there are not a lof of women posting in here, so I told myself "why not"?

The Seiko was a gift that my maternal grandfather bought for my mother in the '80s.
I love it because it is very classy and small as well.

The Casio AQ-240E-7A was purchased by me as I wanted something classy, with a screen that allowed me to tell the time easily when working, even if holding toddlers or doing crafts - I am a kindergarten teacher - and that would work as an alarm as well.
I also appreciate it being water resistant.

My wishlist:
-Nomos Glashütte Club Automat Datum
-Red Monkey Men's Classic watch with Walnut leather strap and white dial (I have been looking for it for ages after the male character of one of my favourite movies wore it, but it seems it cannot be found anywhere online and with the brand being from the U.S. and me from Italy, it is impossible for me to look for it in shops :/ )
-Seiko Bracelet 1975 (as above) but in silver

I see everybody talking about Dawson's Creek and/or OTH, but somehow A Walk to Remember is never mentioned when talking about Wilmington used as a set.
Was AWTR less advertised than the two TV Shows? Here in Italy Dawson's Creek was pretty big, while OTH did not have so many viewers as the former teen drama, while I remember AWTR - one of my favourite movies - being advertised a lot, but many seem to forget it when it comes to Wilmington.

Has anyone met the cast and/or crew? Did the movie ever inconvenienced your daily routine? Have you ever met tourists interested in visiting the movie locations?

I also have another question: Was Landon's house near the houses of Dawson and Jen's? The area looks so familiar in the movie!

Hi everyone, I have always loved this watch worn by Landon Carter (Shane West) in the movie "A Walk to Remember" despite me being a woman.
I just have no idea what brand is that and if the leather strap comes with it or it was added by the movie stylists.
Can anyone help me finding it, please?

I was an au pair in London, Heidelberg and Sydney and just now, at the age of 31 I am on my way to get a driving license here in Italy.

I have read so many posts in this thread of hostfamilies saying their APs totaled their cars or that when they interview au pairs they immediately ask for a personal car and when I was in Sydney I remember the au pair of my hostfamily's relatives complaining because the hostparents only had one car each and sometimes she was not able to go to her second job because the hostfather needed it (mind you: we both lived in Sydney and the transport works really well over there. I was in the North-West, pretty far from the Opera House or the beach, while she was in the Inner West, so definitely a more convenient location where everything was closer compared to my location).

I understand wanting a car if the location is rural or isolated, but I see a lot of entitlement when it gets to cars.
Maybe I am biased because I hate driving, I am scared when taking lessons even with my instructor right next to me and I prefer public transport so I can read while getting to destinations and also because it is too much of a responsibily, but I do not get the appeal of it.

Why do so many au pairs want a car even when living in walkable cities or cities with good public transport? How can hostfamilies trust them so easily with their cars or with them driving their children?

Premetto che ho 30 anni e solo ora sto prendendo la patente perché mi ha sempre spaventato la guida nella mia città natale, ma anche perché ho vissuto per mooolto tempo all'estero dove i mezzi pubblici funzionavano perfettamente.

Mi sento molto negata a guidare n quanto so solo scalare le marce e dosare l'acceleratore e non riesco a dare il giusto tocco al freno, che premo sempre in maniera troppo dura.
L'altra cosa che mi riesce davvero difficile è stare sulla destra: o tendo alla sinistra oppure sembra quasi che stia per finire nel muro destro.
Non capisco come seguire la linea orizzontale che dovrebbe essermi utile per guidarmi.

Altra cosa che mi irrita è che guidando io a Napoli sembro io la scema visto che mi attengo a seguire il codice della strada: mi fermo ad ogni singolo STOP e appena mi fermo la gente dietro inizia a suonare insistentemente il clacson e a farmi sorpassi - sebbene sia obbligatorio fermarsi e l'automobile dell'autoscuola abbia un'insegna gigante con su scritto "AUTOSCUOLA".
Stessa cosa avviene quando faccio le curve in discesa, dove sebbene io rientri giusto nei limiti di velocità consentiti tutti si infastidiscono, suonano il clacson e mi sorpassano.

Come mi devo orientare con la segnaletica orizzontale per stare bene sulla destra?
Come faccio a non farmi irritare dai buzzurri che popolano la mia città, che tra l'altro guidano anche senza avere nessun tipo di patente?
Mi viene da mollare tutto e stracciare il foglio rosa.

Premetto che ho 30 anni e solo ora sto prendendo la patente perché mi ha sempre spaventato la guida nella mia città natale, ma anche perché ho vissuto per mooolto tempo all'estero dove i mezzi pubblici funzionavano perfettamente.

Da quando ho iniziato le guide con il mio istruttore non c'è un giorno in cui io non maledica me stessa e questa città e tutti gli stron*i che la popolano guidando di merda.
Io non sarò una cima a guidare, in quanto so solo scalare le marce e dosare l'acceleratore e non riesco a dare il giusto tocco al freno, ma almeno io sono solo a 5 ore di guida e porco ca**o almeno io mi fermo ad ogni cavolo di stop.
Gli stronzi dietro di me non solo pensano che il segnale STOP sia lì per bellezza, ma iniziano anche a suonare il clacson quando io mi fermo, per non parlare dei sorpassi che mi fanno in discesa in curva sebbene io abbia una velocità che vada giusto nel limite consentito.
Oltre a non conoscere il codice stradale molti di loro guidano anche senza patente e si irritano ed iniziano a suonare il clacson sebbene ci sia un'insegna gigante con su scritto "AUTOSCUOLA".
Auguro a questi stronzi di farsi sempre del male da soli, ma purtroppo questi provocano incidenti danneggiando gli altri, mentre loro restano illesi.
