Ah ok. I've been getting the pineapple and lemon lime ones and both are a tad sour and I like that.

Edit: the pineapple one is the one with caffeine

A xxx & nsfw tags? Or xsfw instead of xxx? And maybe even a nsfl tag for those that are more than just not safe for work.

It definitely does. Don't use Apple products, but setting limits or bedtime alarms (on the switch) helps us all out. It cut down on the tantrums about stopping, it gives them the routine they need (we're all on the ADHD spectrum in this house), and I set it up and it's done (I have practically nil executive function).

Is it perfect? No. But it works for us.

My 2cents: Pedialyte (premade) still has that sweet taste whereas Liquid IV does not. The powdered Pedialyte contained (I haven't bought it in a few years so I'm unsure if the formula has changed) artificial sweeteners that upset our guts - which was no good when I was giving it to kids with diarrhea because it just exasperated the issue.

It may be placebo effect but I feel like it does a really good job.

*I am also biased because they make one with caffeine and it's helping me cut back on soda.

Yes to Vicar of Dibley. Local PBS affiliate would show it and my parents loved it.

I have one that will relentlessly attack anything plastic - like Ziploc, trash bags, store bought bread - until someone refills the food. Had to buy an honest to goodness bread box so she'd stop destroying the loaves.

"good morning" [+emoji] is the one I see daily. There's a few alternatives I see, but I usually end up sending the one with the coffee cup in response.

I also like seeing the options for the different emoji combination stickers (like the cyclops sobbing in your screenshot) that Gboard comes up with. :) I've found to trigger that, I either pick 2 different emojis or type the same one 2-3x to get suggestions.

Been having fun with both of these features on my Samsung phone for a while. Enjoy! Have fun!

You are very welcome! :)

I remember permanently borrowing my grandfather's copy of Reader's Digest Birds of North America guide and trying to draw them from there (this was the late 1990s).

And now I have a new community to sub to! :)

Thank you! I'm a civi (civilian) and only had it when my older sister came back from basic training.

Very nice! I recognize the blue jay, puffin, and barn (?) owl. I'm not familiar with the two birds on the left. What are they?

I can't remember what it's called, but mixing the brownie with the coffee was the best thing I've ever had from an MRE.

Chandi Chok to China (2009) - it's obviously a spoof movie (like Austin Powers), but despite going in knowing nothing of Bollywood I loved it. I'm pretty sure we rented the DVD from Netflix back in the day. It's rated 42%/31%

Mio in the Land of Faraway (1987) - very young Christian Bale in a fantasy world with Christopher Lee as the bad guy. Simultaneously recorded in both Russian and English. It's rated --%/55%

I'm sure there are others (In the Name of the King and Equilibrium have both already been mentioned), but these two are the ones that I decided to search for. I know the second one is older, but color me inspired by the mention of the 1984 Dune (love Patrick Stewart, but I don't feel like he was cast right in that movie).
