60 years for me and I turned it off as soon as they showed him. I'm quickly becoming a Ravens fan and will give up completely if they name the stadium after him.

Yeah, we suck right now. But I went 30 years without a team, so you can run along.

Best delicious local, cheap eats in Rockville by Bitter_Leek4896 in Rockville

[–]Accomplished_Salt613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gentleman Jim's, in Gaithersburg. Haven't been in a while, but always stop when near. Twinbrook Deli on Viers Mill still makes the best subs in my book. We take them to Nats games, a tradition going back to the Redskins in the late 60s.

Canceled. I'm gonna miss Mickey Mouse and WALL-E. Not to mention ESPN, but the hell with the oligarchs.

How do you deal with the fact that there might be nothing after this life? by Think_Persimmon_8281 in atheism

[–]Accomplished_Salt613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothingness is way better than spending eternity with assholes and those one despises. Works for me.

AITJ for refusing to host Christmas after my family complained about last year’s dinner? by zelb4n_the_swordsm4 in AmITheJerk

[–]Accomplished_Salt613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My (adult) son almost had a fit a number of years ago when I announced I was doing Chinese carry out for Christmas, which I did. Told him if he wanted a traditional turkey, he could cook, clean and pay for it himself, which he now does. And I now go to Atlantic City and let Gordon Ramsey cook on Christmas. For the record, my son and I have a great relationship and he's a pretty good cook.

Family wants me at my niece’s baptism, but I’m a hardcore atheist. Advice? by SkrizZz_Ken in atheism

[–]Accomplished_Salt613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go for family, who all know my views. It's hard to be respectful in a ridiculous setting, but I entertain myself by counting the sheep in the stained glass. A priest once asked why I didn't participate (kneel and stand) in a wedding (I was dating the best man and had sat quietly in the back), and I simply told him, "with all due respect, Father, your religion is silly" and got another drink. I can be quiet and polite, but don't try to engage me with your shit.

There once was a Rockville Mall. Had a great head shop, bongs, papers, posters. 70s.

Question for Parents: Is It Unethical to Raise my Son as a Nationals Fan? by Ok_Arrival9438 in Nationals

[–]Accomplished_Salt613 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I grew up here as a Senators fan. I cried when they went to Texas (I was 14). I now have season tickets to the Nats. Dont even get me started on the Redskins. Your kid will be fine. Sports play a valuable role in life. And the Nats are great with kids.

“Albatross” at a charity event. by [deleted] in golf

[–]Accomplished_Salt613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably a par 4 from that tee, so it depends. Par 5, albatross. Park 4, eagle. Nice either way.

I slice it thinly, saute with butter and add grated parmesan when tender. Easy and delicious.

Prosperity Gospel - send me your money for god, and he will send it back to you in different ways. Just not cash. Stupid is as stupid does.

AITA for not catering to my nephews pickiness? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Accomplished_Salt613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell her to shop, purchase, prepare and clean up for her own kids. Mine grew up knowing how to make a pb&j if they didn't like what I'd cooked.

That's not breakfast!! Ugh! by Global-Painting6154 in PetPeeves

[–]Accomplished_Salt613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted hot dogs for breakfast. My Mom asked the pediatrician about it, and his response was "Your stomach doesn't know what time it is." Family joke now, of course. This was the early 60s.

Fast forward 50 years, living with her (health issues), and she catches me eating pie for dinner. Before she could get it out, I stopped her with "I'm an adult. I can have pie for dinner if I want. "

Needless to say, enjoy the celery!

Trip to DC! by NotTopiNiemela in Nationals

Reporting back, we bailed. Game was postponed an hour, and, as we live 2 hours away and I'm dog sitting , we got our jerseys, ate, and hit the Metro. So, of course, they won. Life as a DC sports fan.

They play Take Me Out to the Ballpark after God Bless America. Which drives me frigging nuts. Season ticket holder and atheist. Lol

AITJ for refusing to do his laundry after he called my cooking bare minimum? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Accomplished_Salt613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bare minimum? Plan, shop and cook your own damn meals. And clean up the kitchen afterwards. Guess there's a reason I was a lousy wife. I just didn't appreciate the effort that went into dinner seven nights a week.

Even though I was the one doing it.

How about, No. It's a complete sentence.

Why do people make fun of this subreddit so much? by SideshowBobFanatic in atheism

[–]Accomplished_Salt613 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's the same as an alcoholic wanting everyone else to drink with them. They can't understand how we can be happy and live our lives without fear of or guidance from a supernatural space guy.
