Wasn’t sure how to tag this, but I wanted to bring awareness to options for those that will be struggling to pay for groceries during the shutdown.

I was at the Weavers Way Co-Op in Ambler yesterday and they have a fund to support members who are unable to access their SNAP, WIC, or TANF benefits right now. There’s no cost to become a member if you aren’t one already. I found the information on their website, in case anyone is interested: https://cooperativefoodfund.square.site

Is anyone aware of any other local initiatives, food drives, or places that are accepting donations? I’m interested in finding other ways to support the community!

The story about the daycare worker in Oaks has me spiraling as we’re looking at options for our first baby. We’re not anywhere near that area, but it really brought home how careful you need to be when entrusting your child to someone else.

We’re looking at places providing infant daycare to start early next year near Spring House/Ambler, Horsham, etc. Does anyone have any experience with the Malvern School Horsham, Goddard school in Horsham or Spring House, or Kid-Doodles? Any other places that you would recommend or that we should avoid? Would really appreciate any help!

Just need to vent today and see if anyone else is going through this.

I love my baby so much, but I didn’t realize I would feel so bad about myself postpartum. I had a pretty traumatic birth which was immediately preceded by a horrible day at work (feeling like I can’t go back there after my maternity leave is up). I bounced back pretty quickly, but it seems like there are so many nasty surprises even after you give birth.

I knew the stretch marks would be there, I just didn’t expect them to be so purple. I knew my body wouldn’t look the same, but I wasn’t prepared for how extreme the mom pooch would look. I knew pregnancy could mess with your teeth, but I didn’t realize the discoloration

I accidentally gave my variation of this dress to a villager and would like another. Unfortunately, the Pascal glitch means he will not give duplicates of anything you've already cataloged. If you have one of these that you really don't want/need or will not use, please let me know!

Edit: the last two words of the post title were supposed to be “character arc.” I got distracted and forgot to finish typing it. Sorry!

The chapter Jaime II of AFfC ends on this ominous note when Jaime and Loras are discussing entries in the White Book:

"The best and the worst." So one of us is like to live in song. "And a few who were a bit of both. Like him." He tapped the page he had been reading.

"They belonged to Criston Cole, who served the first Viserys and the second Aegon." Jaime closed the White Book. "They called him Kingmaker."

Criston Cole, as we know, was wholly dedicated to Princess Rhaenyra until something happened that caused one of them to spurn

Title says it all! If you had a hundred ASoIaF readers in a room, you’d have a hundred totally different takes on the series. Yet somehow there are still those opinions that you’d think would set at 3/4 of the fan base against you.

Here’s mine:

Ned failed his daughters. He should never have shown his cards to Cersei until those girls were well out of the city. He knew not to trust the Queen and yet he went and told her his exact plan anyway. A lot of people, and characters like Cersei and Tyrion, call Sansa a traitor for telling the queen when her father planned to sneak them out of the city. Sansa was an 11-year old girl that believed in fairytales and her handsome prince, Ned was a gr

Gentle reminder to all: please keep Rule #1 of the sub in mind when posting. I don’t want to see anyone banned.

I get the impression that, regardless of having had advisors like Jorah or Barristan, Dany is wildly unprepared for the reception she’s likely to get in Westeros.

As of the end of ADWD, Dany has finally accepted that her place is not in Meereen. She’s a foreigner and an outsider there. I don’t think she recognizes that in Westeros, she’ll still be that.

Unlike [f]Aegon, she hasn’t had the benefit of a septa, Maester, master at arms, etc. She’ll have to contend with him and, regardless of her dragons, he has the better claim. If she goes to Westeros, she goes with an army of Unsu
