Well, to be fair, Europe, and the Netherlands in particular are a lot more relaxed. The US is known for being prude/conservative, so what we consider inappropriate and what Europeans consider inappropriate don't always match up. But if you are wanting to market to the US, you have to pay attention to what the average consumer there wants.

Yep, it’s actually still a big world, and everything doesn’t fit/work everywhere.

Is K your daughter or hers? Was she saying that if her daughter couldn't do the skill, no one could? Or was she pointing out that your daughter missed the skill and assumed that her missing it one time meant that she couldn't do it at all? Either way, :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:. DS used to have a classmate whose mom drove me nuts. She was always putting me down while trying to make herself out to be perfect. She'd say "I noticed A doesn't have a large vocabulary.....you should have him hang out with Tim. Tim has a very extensive vocabulary and can teach A a lot." or "Yes, I spoke English with A because I know he's bilingual and I speak English really well. A probably felt comfortable speaking to me in English because I'm very open with kids, and they sense that about me. People are always telling me their kid opened up to me, even when they don't usually open to people they don't know well." Or "I don't understand why Tim wasn't allowed to skip a grade. I know he missed the cut off with his birthday, but he's very bright and they should have made an exception for him." (A was a year younger than Tim, and had been allowed to move up with Tim's class because his birthday was in December and the cut off was the end of December. So he made the cut off, and if Tim had made the cut off, he would have been a year ahead of A, and she was upset that A was allowed to move up a grade when Tim wasn't.) She's also the one I'm sure I mentioned once that I watched him one afternoon and he ran off on me and ran into the street without looking, and she thought it was so cute and said "Yes, he's very independent! He walked out the other day and walked to school by himself without even telling me! I was looking all over the house for him and finally went to check the school and there he was!" and she thought that showed that he was wise beyond his years. There are just parents out there who I guess think that they need to prove they are better parents and so they have to promote their own children and try to make everyone else look bad in comparison.

This is the skill.
360159
Now she has to do that while holding one girls hand and being held up by 3 other girls. She goes from standing on both legs and then she kicks up the other leg and grabs it. If the other girl who she holds hands with is not close enough, she loses a little leverage and she misses. But you can plainly see she has this skill. The other girl has this skill as well but is not flexible and her leg is off angle when she does it. The other girl is a great tumbler and I have mentioned to this parent that her daughter has her back handspring and that my dd is still working on hers. I said everyone has their strengths when she said her daughter wasn’t as flexible as mine. I didn’t put down her daughter. I don’t think she realizes what she says. Anyway so you can see why my daughter may miss pulling that skill in a pyramid. Even a kid doing it for 10 years can miss. I see it all the time in competitions with older level kids. Everything needs to line up perfectly with all kids. If a hand grip is wrong a stunt can fall. It was wrong for her to say that the coach should take it out. The coach is trying to amp up the routine in terms of maxing out possible points. I know she knows what she is doing. I think she is just so competitive with her kid that she doesn’t see the forest for the trees.

1. That's what we've been debating. You can't take anything at face value with JK, and we know Grindelwald will lie to get what he wants, and what he wants is Credence. We don't know for sure that he's a Dumbledore or that he's not. I've seen theories about it. People think Kendra had an affair when her husband was in prison for torturing the muggle boys who tortured Ariana, and that Credence is a result of that affair and therefore a half sibling. I have my doubts about that, but until JK confirms it, I'm not convinced.

2. He was nursing a baby phoenix...that doesn't necessarily mean he's a Dumbledore. Even if Dumbledores DO have a connection with phoenixes, phoenixes are magical creatures and he could have just found one. Remember Harry was able to call Fawks in the chamber of secrets, and Harry is not a Dumbledore. Perhaps Grindelwald was able to get ahold of one and plant it near Credence, knowing it would strengthen his claim that Credence is a DD. Hagrid has a 3-headed dog, and had a dragon for a time....owning a magical pet doesn't say a whole lot in most cases.

3. I'm not sure what you mean by needed a security person to leave. Newt had a travel ban, so he couldn't go through the normal channels of international travel. But when he came back, he had sort of cleared his name to an extent and had done a great service to the ministry by helping in the aftermath of the Grindelwald rally. He came back with that whole group of Aurors...so technically he had several security people when he entered. If that's not what you are referring to, then I'm not sure what you mean.

I saw a theory about Credence being a dark twin. Look on Youtube Super Carlin Brothers []

Thnx it's the pound cake of pasta. 3 pounds of sausage steamed, then saute 3 pounds of mushroom with 3 lg onions and garlic in the steaming water. Add small can tomato paste, red wine and enough water to make sauce to cover pasta thicken with slurry of tapioca or corn starch add 3lbs frozen spinach. Pour over 3 pounds pasta and 3 pounds steamed broccoli. Salt pepper and ped pepper flakes to taste.

My goodness, it would be enough to feed my family for a few days. I know it wouldn’t last for more than a few hours at your house.

IKEA doesn't take their growth lightly. If they were interested, that mall missed out. They grow smartly and don't over saturate so they're always packed

They certainly haven't over saturated here. NC is big state and the nearest one is in Charlotte, 165 miles away. Here is Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill are in a huge triangle. Not only a huge people population of a little over two million people, but three major colleges, UNC in Chapel Hill, Duke in Durham and North Carolina State in Raleigh just about 6 miles from where they were thinking of coming in. That's not to mention about a gazillion smaller colleges in the area. Raleigh is about half way between Charlotte and the Coast of NC. Why they haven't been here already is an absolute mystery to me. It seems like an absolute no brainer.

Dear Harry Potter geeks:

I watched Crimes of Grindewald and I have two questions.

1. Why is Credence a Dumbledore? Doesn't make sense.

2. Why does he have a phoenix?

3. Why do you need to go through a security person (Dover!!!) to leave the country but you can come back in anytime?
Click to expand...
  1. I wonder why, they explain that there was a weird swap in the first parts of the movie. Remember that the parents of Dumbledore were extremely conservative and of the levels of Malfoy. It was years later that Dumbledore opened his heart to a more heartwarming behavior towards non wizards and magicless or ill aflicted wizard-born people.
  2. All Dumbledores seem to be connected to Phoenixes. I wonder if that is actually Fawkes before he moved to Dumbledore's office. The Phoenix also appeared to Aberforth ( Dumbledores's other brother) in the harry potter saga if I remember correctly.
  3. Probably a security measure, scan and authorization. Its magic after all. Once they are authorized their magic probably thinks they're safe. There are a lot of things that baffled me on Crimes on Grindeswald. I still find Credence to be invented on the spot for this movie to cause emotional effects. Because there is obvious the possibility considering the dirt in Dumbledore's family (his anti muggle views when he was with Grindenwald) and also his sister Ariana's problems.
  4. Also as far I remember, the Fantastical Beasts was written lightly at first and wasn't supposed to be all related to Harry Potter at first and was also a sort of "collaboration" (like how I remember JK claimed that "the cursed child" was.. ) I think JK is feeling a ton of pressure now to get good things and sometimes overblows her own books despite wanting to do something a bit more lightly. (the Harry potter books didnt go that dark that fast as the Fantastic beasts.. and fantastic felt was lighter than HP1 )

Tell that to the lady who won that lawsuit from McD’s because they dared serve hot coffee hot. :rolleyes:

Good thing she, didn't have to deal with my mom's late aunt's coffee because she would've sued her too. My mom's late late aunt made her coffee Mcdonald's style from the microwave despite being in her 80s at the time.

My mom's aunt was interested in technology. She was a senior citizen when I was born, but if she sees newer technology, she wanted to try it out.
