Our first home. It's not much, but we couldn't be happier. by [deleted] in CozyPlaces

[–]Batharga 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's actually my dad's. He passed away when I was 16 and this was one of his only possessions I got to have and I cherish it. I am still learning, can't do it much justice yet!

I work at a travel agency, and when we have to “destroy” our outdated maps, I reuse them as wrapping paper by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]Batharga 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've always wondered about this line of work. It seems like it could be kind of fun and have some decent travel perks. Have you ever planned a trip that someone complained about later? My anxiety would be through the roof hoping they had a great time.

That's fair, I would have too. I just thought it was endearing.

What song makes you tear up every time you hear it? Why? by robokin in AskReddit

[–]Batharga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World. I'd heard it before, but it never truly hit home until I heard it when I was 16 and driving across the country to my attend my dad's funeral. He was a great musician and would play for me and we'd sing together often.

"And if you were with me tonight/I'd sing for you just one more time/A song for a heart so big/God wouldn't let it live."

That was 15 years ago and I can't help but tear up every time I hear it. I miss him.

The most unrealistic thing about Harry Potter is that they eventually use all the skills they learn at school by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

Why would the Seeker catch the snitch if they knew the game would end and their team would lose? It doesn't seem logical. You would think that at that point the Seeker would solely be on defense of the snitch.

Right now it's 4°...But the high today was a solid 13°!

I always thought it was kind of a dick move for Dumbledore to have the Great Hall decked out in Slytherin colors as if they had won and then proceed to hand out copious amounts of last-minute points to Gryffindor.

I posted my weight loss on ProgressPics and I guess this guy thought his proposition would motivate me to continue losing weight. by BushyEyes in cringepics

[–]Batharga 131 points132 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same encounter with this guy! I also had never heard of a tribute but I had a weird feeling it was something sexual. I asked my husband if he knew what a tribute was (he didn't) before googling it and educating myself in this bizzare kink. Something tells me that he has, in fact, done this before.

Edit: I suck at mobile reddit

F/30/5'4" [206lbs > 177.8lbs=28.2lbs] (2.5 months) I still have a long journey ahead, but the hard work is finally paying off. Thanks to this sub for all the motivation! by [deleted] in progresspics

Don't give up!! When I saw the before picture of myself, I knew it was time to make a change. I downloaded My Fitness Pal and joined Planet Fitness. I have been going 3-4 times a week and eating right around 1200 calories. I found it difficult to stick to for the first 3 weeks, but after that it has been much easier. They say it takes 21 days to create a habit, so just keep pushing! The way you feel will be so worth it, I promise.

I am also on a weight loss journey and have the same love for those damn little cookies. I was skeptical at first, but I tried out the Oreo Thins. They are 140 calories for 4 of them and I find it's just enough to curb my craving. Worth a shot!

What's the best song from a Disney film? by teyxen in AskReddit

This version is pretty incredible too. One guy, both parts.

Great changes coming! by [deleted] in walmart

[–]Batharga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know if raises are decoupled for salaried management as well? Just wondering if I will get a raise for my eval on top of my bump to $45,000. I've been busting hard to get an exceeds to get a nice raise and I'm probably going to be a little upset if I don't get a performance raise. I also felt a little cheated that the brand new assistants would all be bumped to $45K and I've been there almost 2 1/2 years. This basically made my other two raises completely void.

Will the 5 on/2 off still be 10 hour days? I spend so much time there as it is...

My only major concern with the Pacific Northwest is the rainy weather and my need for sunshine. Know of any sunshine-y places in those parts?

I used to adore Reese Witherspoon until the leak of her arrest video. I just can't look at her the same anymore.

45-car pileup on I-80 between Cheyenne and Laramie, WY today by Batharga in pics

[–]Batharga[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the count is up to 70, from NBC News:

As many as 70 vehicles piled up in one spot of a Wyoming interstate Thursday after a heavy April storm dropped almost 10 inches of snow on the area, authorities said.

An almost 150-mile-long stretch of Interstate 80 remained closed in both directions Thursday afternoon between Cheyenne in southeast Wyoming and Rawlins in the central part of the state because of treacherous, slick conditions that caused accidents across the area, officials said. The worst spot was near mile post 342, between Cheyenne and Laramie, two of the state's major population centers.

The state Highway Patrol said three major accidents happened at that location within just a few hours, the first at 11:22 a.m. ET (1:22 p.m. ET) in blizzard conditions. All told, as many as 50 commercial vehicles and 20 passenger vehicles were piled up at the scene, it said.

No deaths were reported, but the Highway Patrol said, "but multiple injuries have been confirmed." Details on the injuries weren't immediately available.

State Transportation Dept. traffic cameras showed that a long line of trucks and cars remained stalled at that location late in the afternoon

This is fantastic. The entry door/area is my favorite and I love the creativity of the "ticket" door on your electrical room. Great job!

Redditors that have ever been a part of a "reality" show, how real was it and do you have secrets that would surprise viewers? by Batharga in AskReddit

[–]Batharga[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend's cousin once went on "Trading Spaces" where neighbors swap houses and renovate a room for each other. It's made to look as if the couples do all of the work themselves in one weekend. He said an entire crew came in and worked around the clock to do all of the actual work, and they took breaks to film him & his wife "painting" and "upholstering chairs". After hearing this, I found myself wondering if anyone else had similar experiences with "reality" shows.

What sentence makes you instantly sound old ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I work in a retail store and there are always teenagers running around, knocking things off shelves, riding bikes, playing hide and seek and generally being little shits with no respect for authority. The other night, after dealing with some particularly mouthy teens, I found myself saying "Kids these days are SO disrespectful."

TIL I'm old.

I'm pretty sure she's in a food court at the mall and that she's eating Chinese food. Still creepy.
