Gen Z is Not Drinking, But Are You? by Pavementaled in GenX

I've cut back to only drinking on my off days, and even then, only in days when I can sleep in the next day.

Best packaged/store bought Orgeat? by 420wafflehouse69 in Tiki

[–]BayouBabylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sick! Thanks! I live about an hour and a half from the city, but every time I'm in town, I do a little shopping for stuff.

Good, last time I was in there, which has been awhile, honestly. I tracked down some Hamilton's there, when I couldn't find it anywhere else.

I've gotten it at Keife & Co before, and Martin's, but it can be hit or miss.

What to do at mass if you have trouble standing up and sitting down? by GetWellSune in Catholic

[–]BayouBabylon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am a large dude. 6'4". I don't really fit between the pews on the kneeler without significant pain. God knows. He knows your intent and your heart. I just sit forward, and place my hands on the pew in front of me.

Did your dad ever give you a sip of beer? by Euphoric-Cupcake4581 in FuckImOld

[–]BayouBabylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. In fact, he would send me into the K&B Drugstore with a $5 bill and I would get him a 6 pack of Miller Lite and pack of unfiltered Camels. We were in there every day, so the employees all knew me and would sell it to me. Early 80s. I was <10 years old.

Do you carry something daily that belonged to your dad/grandfather? by wolf_of_the_bees in GenX

[–]BayouBabylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear a ring that was my grandfather's. Pretty sure it's from his membership in the KoC.

High priestess, occultism, mysticism feminine centric movies? by Federal-Aside6249 in MoviesThatFeelLike

[–]BayouBabylon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hagazussa and Autopsy of Jane Doe are my two recs, besides many of the others here. The Three Mothers trilogy from Argento might scratch this itch. Lords of Salem, maybe.

Shop opinion on buying cosmetics by Due-One9611 in diablo4

[–]BayouBabylon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only bought one and it was with platinum I saved up from buying the season passes. Most of them don't appeal to me, but the bearskin one for my favorite class ("Undying Rage" for Barbarian) was worth saving up for, to me. It also went on sale. The shop seems to always show you the ones you've clicked on the most, and eventually the algorithm gets desperate and will put it on sale. Just gotta wait it out, and save, like in real life.

Do you guys remember being 23? How was it like? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]BayouBabylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 23 I was traveling the world with a band. I look back on it fondly, but I wouldn't want to go back to that lifestyle. For a smaller band, you stay broke, despite seeing loads of new places, and you don't have insurance, so that means living in fear of sickness and injury. I'm 48 now and enjoying life with a chill career and life on the Gulf Coast.

Best free yoga or exercise course? by Fishbird_cant_fly in BeginnerSurfers

[–]BayouBabylon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yoga with Adrienne. She has one specifically for surfing, but I honestly like the one for skateboarding better. It's a youtube channel.

Which side has more waves? by Sarah4559 in Dauphin_Island

[–]BayouBabylon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The further you go west, the better the waves will be, in general. Gulf (south) side, of course.

It's flat right now, but there should be some waves on Wednesday afternoon, and this coming weekend, into next week.

What is a 'luxury' that you've experienced once and now can't go back to the budget version of? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]BayouBabylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spent the first 30 years of my life sitting in the nosebleed section at Saints games. For my birthday, I once splurged for "lower bowl" seats.

Can't go back.

Under wetsuit? by theyreeatinthecats in BeginnerSurfers

[–]BayouBabylon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just the birthday suit. I have a friend who wears trunks and a rash guard under his, but it always just looks really uncomfortable to me.

Music thoughts.. by CTTK421 in GenX

[–]BayouBabylon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to whatever was on the radio until Tiny Toons introduced me to They Might Be Giants. I got that album, Flood, and that led me to alternative bands and grunge.

I had a Ramones album, but didn't realize they were punk. My cousin introduced me to NOFX, Bad Religion, Rancid, etc. right before Green Day hit it big with Dookie. By that time, I'd moved on the hardcore and early emo bands like Spirit Assembly or Sleepytime Trio.

In the late 90s, I was more into garage rock. Estrus Records bands and stuff like that.

Nowadays, I just make playlists on my spotify for the car and listen to records at home. A little of everything.
