    I ugly cry at the end. It's a brilliant film. I definitely recommend tbh

    It's based on a true story. 
    It's the director of the film...story to adopting 3 kids

    I made a terrible decision watching long lost family the other night. That show gets me every single time!

    I watched Hachiko (10/10 btw) and I tried so hard to keep my tears in, I had a lump in my throat and then I sobbed omg so many tears and my heart hurt for the rest of the night 😆
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,996 Supreme Poster
    @Liam what's hachiko? don't think I've heard of it.

    Ambulance, which is one of my favourite shows, is sometimes really really sad. Some of the stories in that are really truely heartbreaking.

    It’s about a dog who was sooo loyal to his owner. Based on a true story. So sweet but so sad 😭
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,996 Supreme Poster
    @Liam awwwww that does sound sweet! 

    Now the only kind of programme I really can't watch are ones which show the things some cruel humans do to animals. Like the shows about vets. I like seeing the end when they're all better and happy again but seeing them that way is not worth watching it. I can't.

    Decided to wash my hair
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,996 Supreme Poster
    Yeah exactly I just can't handle seeing animals getting hurt / hearing about how some owners can be so cruel. Vets do a fantastic job. 

    I haven't watched a good horror in ages!!

    Yeah, I just dunno what they've been told if anything so I have no idea lol. It could go horrendous but thank you

    @Liam oh my goodness I remember being so nervous the first time I went into chat too, and even more so the first time I posted on the boards. I used to be even more weird than I am now so I was really nervous what people would think of me lol, my first chat was the women only chat and I was so confused until I found out it was like an emotional support chat lol.

    @Mellyy99 aww yeah I get you appointments are scary.

    Awww hahaha it’s not scary anymore now I feel like I know everyone in there 😆 
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,996 Supreme Poster
    @Liam aha yeah I was the same after a few weeks. ACtually returning to chats after a year of not going was perhaps a even scarier lol. I don't understand how I didn't go to chat for a year, what did I do with my evenings!!??!!

    Oh i've not even tried GC yet lol I'm not that brave
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 592 Incredible Poster
    And i still feel way too new to use this forum, I don't post that much lol
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,996 Supreme Poster
    @Mellyy99 GC is great!! You should try it. I'm in there most nights and sometimes SC too. I'm not sure if we've spoken in SC chat before. 

    You're never too new, and this thread is a great place to start when it comes to posting a few of the newer members have made most of their comments on this thread (in fact some of th long time members like myself have too aha).

    haha maybe when I'm in a better mental state as at the minute I don't think I can go a day without themix support chat lol. I'll try to come in on a better day when I can though. Yeah, I'm not sure we've spoken there either.

    and aha I never know what to post so normally its just my problems in that one threat lol.
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,996 Supreme Poster
    @Mellyy99 I'm Elle in chat, so if you've seen that name that'd have been me. It's ok to come in and not stay for the whole chat, or even to come to GC for a little while then go to SC for the rest of the chat time. 

    Yeah that's fair enough there's a lot of threads on here it can be difficult sometimes especially when you're new but you're doing really well here and you're always welcome to post in here :):)
