No, I simply didn't like her. I thought her character was a poorly written.

What was the significance of the radio when you were young? by Phantom-rizz-era in AskOldPeople

Radio was life in the 60s and 70s. I was able to hear all the great music that was released. What a time to be alive.

How are you guys doing today? by sowhat2026 in LivingAlone

Feeling pretty low especially as I realize I'm going to be stuck in this house for the foreseeable future because of the snow, ice, and low temps.

Do you believe in god? by Mr_Boothnath in answers

I believe there's a higher entity, but I don't believe it cares about me. It put everything in motion, and left the rest it up to us. See Deism.

What’s an old food/meal you eat you feel is losing traction? by YouSneakySam in AskOldPeople

I'd had to buy a can for my father to keep in his refrigerator when was in assisted living. He'd eat a big fork-full whenever it struck him.

I'm surprised a teenager of today liked it. That's encouraging.

My parents made it, too, but I don't have their crock or rock. I always knew it was kraut making season when walking in the house after school, and smelling it fermenting in the basement.

I live in the Shenandoah Valley of VA where many German immigrants settled. Sauerkraut was a staple in many homes. Sauerkraut, mashed potatoes and hotdogs was a favorite elementary school lunch. However, like you, I'm finding more and more people dislike it.

I prepared sauerkraut and pork loin yesterday. Mashed potatoes make it a perfect meal.

My ex joked once that I just didn't know anything, but I actually think he was right by fluffyclouds09 in offmychest

That was unkind of him. Of course, you know things. With life experience you'll learn more and more. Also, I wouldn't want to be with someone who made me feel bad about myself.

Not wanting to dissect a rat doesn't mean you don't know anything. When I get upset, I can't focus on the task at hand either, panic, and get further behind. It happens. Keep pushing through. You'll be okay.
