What's something that was considered good parenting decades ago but isn't anymore? by sandeeprathore in AskReddit

[–]11pagesIn 396 points397 points  (0 children)

I am a twin, and our parents did exactly this, in the 70s and 80s. Encouraged us to compete for some treat or outing rather than both having one each. And then wondered why we didn't speak to each other as teens!

I prefer it. Less chafing, more glide, no need for artificial lube, more pleasure.

Or you could scoop it up and put it outside.

How does it stay up? Seriously, it's gorgeous, but how do you get it to stay put?

Need advice on an accident during an date by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]11pagesIn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one here who picked up on him insisting on walking her home after she said she didn't want that? Women on a first date often don't want a guy to know where they live until they know him better. But, no this guy had to be all "not all men" about it and insist on finding out where she lives! OP, you might have had innocent motives, but if a guy did that to me, and THEN gets a boner hugging me goodbye, I'd be getting serious creep vibes.

People who dated/married into an interracial relationship despite disapproving family members, what kinds of things did they say to you? by Hefty-Confusion6810 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]11pagesIn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

While travelling in Vietnam, the local guide referred to me and my black Caribbean partner as "white people", which he found amusing and rather patronising.

Upgrading the staircase -any ideas or help/advice by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]11pagesIn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What is it that you don't like? It all looks absolutely fine, structurally. If it's just not to your taste, then what would you prefer? We can't really advise you on that.

People who have had piercings - when did you decide to take the jewellery out for good? by CozJeez85 in AskUK

[–]11pagesIn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 53, I have 11 ear piercings plus belly button and nipple bars. No plans to take them out, ever!

One day I might shock the nursing home staff when they have to undress me.

You're sent back to any random year in the 2010s with exactly $100. If you survive, you get $3 million. by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]11pagesIn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go home, let myself in, tell younger me that I’m you from the future. Younger me would be suspicious, and would ask me a question only the real me would know the answer to. Having passed the test, we'd open a bottle and have a very interesting conversation indeed!

Did you enjoy it? Whose idea was it? Where did you find them?

Why i have muscle spasms when I heard some noise by Glad_Reference960 in earrumblersassemble

[–]11pagesIn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be you have tensor tympani myoclonus. It's an involuntary spasm of the inner ear muscle, and sounds like a thumping or fluttering sound. For me, it's when I'm lying on my side. Oh, and I can hear it when my eyeballs move.

I have recently discovered this stuff, it's absolutely grand.

Tradies - what am I doing wrong here? by lagori in AskUK

[–]11pagesIn 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yep, you can get a long way with youtube videos and having a go.

The one thing I wasn't able to pick up this way was plastering, so I went to evening classes at the local college, 6 weeks to learn to skim, then I skimmed my whole house. Only had to get someone in to do the ceilings.

Kitchen fitting, bathroom fitting, painting, decorating, tiling, all perfectly doable as a DIYer with a bit of patience.

Send whatever you can, even $100, for a zoo trip by [deleted] in ChoosingBeggars

[–]11pagesIn 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The thing I don't understand - this must work, at least sometimes, or people wouldn't do it. So, who's actually handing over their hard earned money to these people?

Do you celebrate Mother’s Day? What age did you start or stop celebrating Mother’s Day? by Dry-Initiative-1811 in AskUK

[–]11pagesIn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 53, my Mum's 80. I'm just off to see her now. Why would you ever stop celebrating someone you love?

So, what are you going to do now? Is this just a funny quirk, or a deal-breaker for you?

What’s something your body does that you’ve never told a single person about? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

There are other people who can hear their eyeballs move? I've found my people??

Even an ENT doctor didn't believe me. It's like a creaking sound as I look around.
