That he’s the heir, Mary was so jealous, she lost all composure. She would be shaking really lmao
Cora had to call her out🤣
Bertie did wanna marry her even after being a marquess.
She also started acting up and kept picking fights with everyone in that episode. She really couldn’t take it that Edith ends up more successful than her. Even Tom starts to hate Mary.
Mary lost all the good prospects indeed

"Well, I think she who laughs last, laughs longest."

I hated him with passion but he’s one of those characters that have shown their vulnerable side and makes him more likeable and I end up loving the trouble he makes 🤣

I also love his work ethic and he does seem responsible and deserved to be a butler. I felt a lot for him and the series did a great job in creating his story.
I didn’t feel anything for others at all except Edith, Sybil and Cora.

Someone said on here that it’s pretty inaccurate for the crawleys to treat servants so kindly.

It has lowkey ruined things for me. Like wdym Mary wouldn’t have helped Anna with the pregnancy and Robert wouldn’t look after bates and Mrs Patmore eye treatment..

Does anyone have smoothing hydrating and dewy look foundation recommendations for somebody who is patchy from tretinoin?
From Sephora perhaps?
I’m just using 0.025% retina A 3 times a week for anti-aging I have no acne.
I use the sandwhich method

Please don’t recommend L’Oréal, they test on bunnies.

I randomly remember all the ways my father mistreated me. Despite living away for some years now.

I remember how once my stepmom was away so it was just me and my dad at home. We needed groceries and we out to get them. He was in a bad mood so he proceeded to push me in frozen vegetable aisle to grab something because I wasn’t hurrying up.

He also lost it so bad that he left me at the store. He stormed out and sat in his car drove around the block or smth. People starting noticing me walking all alone in the store and pretending to shop I guess. I was visibly underage so people knew something was wrong.

It’s makes me so sad in my twenties that my father thought it was ok to do that to me? I have a nephew and now as an aunt who is almost her mom’s age, I can’t imagine being so cruel to kids. My dad also did this when I was home alone with him because it was way easier to abuse when I had no one around me? With my stepmom being away.

Mind you I had top grades in my school, was very disciplined and actually loved studying. So I was good kid and never asked for new things despite having torn clothes which I would hide with a big scarf at home.

Yesterday he texted me saying how none of his kids ask about his health. I wonder why?

I have started to lack empathy for them now. I can’t help but think of my own declining health from all the trauma so I’m not sure if I can make space in my heart when they feel sick.
It’s been 10 years since that incident but I can’t shake it off and I’m trying to improve my life already and move on but you can’t forget what your own parents did to you. You can’t deny that they can have a lasting effect on you and change the way you view kids.

Mary suddenly seems so plain.

Lavinia seems so delicate and gentle. Suits Matthew so well. It’s a shame 😭😭😭

15k steps is the way tbh. Makes weight loss very easy and guaranteed.

But how are people walking for 3 hours a day nonstop? I’m on treadmill right now and it’s feel like one hour but it’s been 45 mins and only 4500 steps…

It’s takes forever and I don’t have the liberty to split them up. If I get a 3 hr time block I have to use it up for steps but it’s insane to keep myself entertained that long lol. How’s EVERYBODY getting so many steps? 😭

Maybe the sub gets this a lot but do you instructors like to switch things up or mix different kind of exercises for a Pilates class?
How many strictly “Pilates moves” should be present for a Pilates class?

My Pilates class today was weirdly cardio based. Lots of quick movements and arm punching but no controlled core movements involving balance.

It made me quite frustrated…

I just posted yesterday about pursuing teacher training and I’m really surprised by the comments I got. Instead of giving me a proper response I instead got backlash because of a term I used which I called the boat and the correct term was called the teaser.
It is not my fault that this is how I’ve been cued during my one year experience. I did do well on my part where I looked at what certification my own instructor has and she has a BASI certification.

One specific woman with over 40 years of experience had a very condescending tone about me calling the movement the boat or the V-Sit. She could have gently just corrected me and taught me the correct terminology, but she just wanted to argue..
Her response was looked like an attack because she says “don’t know what you have even been doing”.
Lady I have over 90 hours of Mat Pilates classes with a BASI certified instructor. I’m sorry I called it a boat. It’s not that deep. I’m new and I mentioned that already in my post.

What matters is I showed up all those hours and learnt something. That beloved teaser pose is done as a finisher for an added challenge.

Another person was like oh you can’t even do the “boat”, save your money girl.

It was my fault to go on Reddit and ask a simple question.
So I asked my instructor who has been teaching me for a year and have over 90 hours of classes with her. She said I have amazing form and she notices how I do most movements in perfect alignment. And she sees the potential in me to deepen my practice. She said it doesn’t necessarily have to be this certification, but I qualify for it if I choose to start this month.

Again I should have just asked her instead of a group of judgemental arrogant instructors.

I just want to say my post showed me that when I finish this certification and deepen my practice and continue my journey of learning the method better. I will not be like that 50 something-year-old Pilates instructor who is condescending and arrogant.

It showed me that I should be kind and welcoming to the new young generation of instructors. I will gently guide them with the correct terminology, and encourage them to take steps to be better and practice, even when you don’t feel confident 💗
We never know what we are capable of.

I don’t know what’s happening but im suddenly sweating while doing nothing and it smells bad.
I was one of those that only sweat water and don’t really smell. Also because I shower twice a day.
But im showering twice a day still, same deodorant, laundry detergent and clothes and still have smelly armpits.

What could be happening? I’m 25F

I have been practicing Pilates 2x a week only for the past year.

I found a studio giving us a 6 month certification course on Mat Pilates and it’s a good deal. But I have noticed I’m still so weak and can’t even hold a 30 second boat.
I don’t know if I’m physically fit to get a certification.
How much stamina do you need to be able to get a certification?

I’m just worried completing 50 classes in 4 months will be too much for me on top of my job. I’m struggling in my luteal phase classes like crazy. I also had thyroid issues so I working on being better nourished too but I love Pilates and would love to know the practice well and perhaps be able to help someone in the future.

My studio has very experienced hot instructors 😂 I’m worried I wouldn’t be able to keep up.

I don’t know what’s the point of marriage when he doesn’t even do anything. I’m going crazy all day making mayo, cloth, fermenting, harvesting, fishing mining and building and he’s just starting at the chair. Dumbo.
And at the Fairview valley he has the nerve to say I’m so excited about OUR display? What? You didn’t do shit.
Thinking of dating Kent or smth 🤣

Why did she seem so know-it-all in season 2 😅
Also her passiveness towards Edwina all the time? I just felt she was kind of off.
I’m just happy she was advocating for a true love match for Anthony and being honest with Edwina.

We are 3 sisters, 2 married and I studied abroad and working now for two ish years. I wanted to move abroad to be independent and away, I was physically and verbally abused all my life. So this was the safest option.
Not to mention we have a lot of illnesses in my family and I feel like it’s because of the toxic environment.

Now that I’m looking to marry soon, and move to the next stage of my life. I wonder what my responsibility was towards my dad.
He treats me very unkindly over the phone whenever I call him because I do not support him.
I don’t make a lot and can only support myself. He’s bitter about paying my tution fee abroad and not getting a return, everyday I feel guilty but I don’t know what to do. I have an eye disease as well and other health issues and I don’t know if I’ll be able to work long term either.
I have supported myself fully for the last 5 years. I also paid part tution and never took time off and have been working during uni and right after as well.
Am in the wrong? And who is suppose to take care of him? My sisters are married with babies and don’t work

In 2023 my TSH was 1.64 even with ferritin pretty low at 27
In 2025 TSH was 2.4 and I had extreme iron deficiency anemia.
Now this month I have healthy hemoglobin but ferritin is still 27 and TSH is now 3.2, T4 is 15.

Few notes : first two tests were late afternoon while the most recent one was early morning at 7 after a very bad night sleep.
I’m 25F
TSH is trending upwards so I’m worried and my symptoms are mostly a very very slow weight gain and other symptoms have been happening for years cuz of anemia like fatigue hair loss etc.
