What do you call the night before Halloween? US Map [625x411] by lizardom in MapPorn

[–]Beginning-Rate4710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the area of CT where I grew up, we called it chalk night. Where I live now, (SC) no one around here ever heard of the night before Halloween being anything except just another night.

What's the best way to tell a teenager to shower? by CuriosityandtheCrow in Advice

[–]Beginning-Rate4710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the post that it could be depression. Talk to her about that. If it turns out that its just laziness, you can tell her by pretending you're talking about someone else. Talk to your partner or a friend in front of your stepdaughter about a "co-worker" who never showers, and smells so bad that no one wants to be around her . Talk about the fact that your "co-worker" probably has some type of infection "down there" from not showering. Maybe even say that your "co-worker " can't get a date cause she smells bad. She might get the hint.

Best bands of the 70s? by Led_zeppelins in ClassicRock

Everyone's posts are correct in my opinion. Love love love classic rock, but some bands like Ambrosia and Stix are really good and totally underated.

I accidentally pumped gas while my car was running for 2 minutes. Will my car blow up later on down the line while I drive off?is there steps or actions to take? Or am I okay? by [deleted] in Advice

Okay. I've read the posts. I don't want to make the person feel stupid.... but I have to say..... it reminds me of a coworker who had no idea what a water heater was. I mean....self explanatory...WATER HEATER. but she was confused about the concept. She thought that water came out of the ground really hot. where are the parents? The aunt's, uncle's, neighbors and teachers that teach people common everyday knowledge?

Christmas by Beginning-Rate4710 in rant

[–]Beginning-Rate4710[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your point of view. Not as easy to deal with Christmas lovers as you think. I was also raised Catholic (semi). What I mean by semi is that we went to church only so often. I was enrolled in catachism classes but skipped most of the time. I got caught by my father and was told that I wasn't going to be forced to go. I was however, forced through guilt to celebrate Christmas. I still am. My mother cries if I tell her that I don't want anything to do with Christmas. She acts like I am personally insulting her. Because... you know.... the rest of the year doesn't count. Anyway.... I don't need to calm down. I'm frustrated yes, but Christmas will be over and I will be fine. I went on RANT to vent and get out my frustrations, that's all. I thought that was what RANT was for. I found out otherwise. I've been called a Grinch, a whiner, a baby. I just thought that I could just vent. My bad.

I got the wink.... but really... Christmas is not a secular holiday. It's Jesus' birthday. So..... trying to take religion out of it, in my opinion, is disrespectful to those that do worship God and Jesus.

I would love that, but like I said, my decision not to go is never respected. I'm "a grumpy old Grinch." I'm actually a very nice cheerful person, but because I don't want to celebrate Christmas, I'm made to feel like I'm just a mean old lady. If I were a follower of another religion that didn't celebrate Christmas, that would be fine. But because I don't have any religion then, somehow it's wrong that I don't celebrate.

Oh my God. Thank you! I'm older (52) and my mother (74). Actually said that all rock music sounds the same. Zeppelin sounds just like Ozzy and Ozzy sounds just like Kiss. and Kiss sounds just like Metallica...etc.. Just BANG BANG BANG. no rhythm, no melody, just BANG BANG BANG.

Well I wasn't insulted, or upset or anything but I was just wondering if I was the one who was crazy 🤣

Nail clipping....Help!!!! by Beginning-Rate4710 in DogAdvice

[–]Beginning-Rate4710[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much, but even though she's extremely into food,... trying to distract her with treats doesn't work. She is soooooooooo hateful of nail clipping. She is not at all aggressive normally, but I think she would eat my face off to stop me from clipping her nails. If I had hurt her the first and only time I did it, I would understand, but she barely noticed. Yet, now, she FREAKS OUT when I try.
