Food & Drink #8 I like ALL the things

[MarmiteExtract]

I’m a proper crier. Snot bubbles, open weeping, that noise Emma Thompson makes in Sense & Sensibility. Mostly cry in frustration and have been known to gargle non-words at my boss in the worst bits. Like others I take a chemical cocktail to stave off the worst but songs and films and tv and nice vignettes can all set me off.

Worst offenders: Charlotte’s Web, the NE Story, the title credits to the Sound of Music, any death in film or tv expected or unexpected, the Notebook, last year’s Blinded by the Light film, JoJo Rabbit... and songs can be ANYTHING but guaranteed Both Sides Now by Joni, anything by The Verve or Echo and the Bunnymen if I’m in the right mood, Evanescence always, and Golden Slumbers by the Beatles.

Am human waterfall.

Sound of Music and Joni Mitchell

The end of The Railway Children - 'Daddy! My Daddy!' - every single time.

Mind you, I'm bad at the moment, yesterday I was catching up with some stuff I hadn't got round to watching on the Sky box because we're running out of space, and cried my way through Princess Anne at 70 and the first episode of The Highland Vet!

omg the railway children! I saw it when I was very young and really didn't understand the story or why the dad was away, but it is so sad!

I always cry (with happiness) at the end of (the film) Pride, just love it. When I was younger I never understood "happy crying" now I am an emotional wreck at almost everything. I blame my mum

Omg this is making me think I have big chaotic energy as both an extreme cryer and laugher - I once laughed so much I pulled a tummy muscle and had to go home from work for the pain.

We had a spontaneous picnic in the park with baby for lunch, it was so lovely! I’m a bit scared of dogs after an incident last year so still feeling really anxious after being sat there tense w fear

I’m not generally frightened of dogs, because I have had dogs and walked other people’s but I am surprised by the amount of terrible dog owners with no control that I have encountered in London parks. This includes dogs who have attacked my dog and other dogs and dogs who chase joggers and cyclists. Some of these people have been supposed professional dog walkers.

I can normally contain my crying unless the actor starts crying too then I’m gone. Or if it involves animals.
“Oh Daddy my Daddy” and “I can ride dad, I can really ride” at the end of Goodnight Mister Tom always has me crying though

I made my daughter watch this as part of home schooling back in April. It ended with her sitting there side eyeing me while I was sobbing uncontrollable tears...

I cannot take the ending of Coco! When the grandma starts to sing..I’m choking up just thinking about it

 

[Readingismyhobby]

I cried when reading “The little Princess” to my daughter, the scene where she is on her own in the attic.
Also cried when reading Harry Potter to my son, when Dobby died. There are lots more examples.

I’d forgotten Goodnight Mister Tom. The bit in the cupboard, when Zach dies, any time William is gruff and/or kind

Oh god yes, Little Princess -on her own in the attic, when she gets the bread roll, when thingie finds her at the end

 

[Mustard]

Yes, Goodnight Mr. Tom.

 

[Fenella]

I get a lump in my throat at the cinema no matter what I go to see- comedy, drama, kids film. I can only think it must be the music being loud and in surround sound having some kind of emotional reaction for me (I love loud music and love the tingly feeling it gives me but I don’t cry with my earphones in or anything!)

Oh God, Goodnight Mister Tom!! That book scarred me for life!!
The thought of that poor little boy trapped under the stairs with a dead baby....

 

[veryfondoftea]

I always cry at the last page of The Polar Express when I’m reading it with my daughter. She thinks I’m crazy

i cannot believe that it is a children's book... that part scarred me for life and i read it as a teenager...

 

[Alansbigplate]

To cheer us all up - I just heard the Buckles advert for Ramble Book ‘there are books in this house there are books in this house...you can read it with your wet arse pussy’ I almost soiled myself

 

[Badlyplatedflapjacks]

Artist's rendition of me watching; sad adverts, tv programmes where an animal dies, tv programmes where an animal might die, tv programmes where an animal doesn't die but then that means the hunting animal goes hungry and may starve, Christmas adverts, Up, Toy story bleeping 4, Hollywood movies where someone, usually old, nobly sacrifices themselves for the greater good (the greater good)...

I once gave myself petechiae watching kids gogglebox when some elephants nearly drowned. They were fine in the end. I was a mess.

I avoid as many of the above situations as possible now to keep myself calm.

Something a little more cheerful, my husband made these for dinner tonight and they were so delicious! Highly recommend

 

[Fenella]

You guys, I actually have a food contribution today- I made double sausage and egg McMuffins for tea and they were bloody amazing!

 

[Silver Linings]

I hope @help i need some help! is ok.

 

[SoulRebel]

Oh you soppy lot. Do not, under any circumstances watch this: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109120/
We used to watch Andre every year and even thinking about it makes me get misty eyed, that and War Horse and Black Beauty.

I have a little bit of positive news after so long of not being able to work, I've been plugging away at my mosaics and putting them on Facebook and have a massive commission! A woman that the current Mr. Rebel did some building work for is buying a house near here and wants some massive Gaudi-inspired work done, it's just the sort of thing that I love.

 

[help i need some help!]

I hope @help i need some help! is ok.

Bless you. I am OK thank you. I won't be on the mother thread but will call back here. I have diverted my attention to my family tree... turns out we are not just peasants, criminals and drunks, we have the only fisherman that gets sea sick ...
