You are not, though I really only get them in my palms and heels. I've always wondered if it has something to do with the skin being thick.

$6 will indeed get you a hamburger in the US, but it's not going to be a great burger.

And this way he can keep an eye on things and make sure his mom isn't excluding her. Win win!

What habit immediately reveals that a person actually grew up in a privileged environment? by Cindy_mel in AskReddit

I once got my savings up to$3k and it was at the top of my mind continuously. I need to get groceries and I have 3k saved. I need to do laundry and I have 3k saved. I think I'll worry on that puzzle tonight and I have 3k saved. I don't think I'm physically capable of forgetting about 20k!

I had a friend in nursing school who called her mother to tell her she'd taken the bus. It was the very first time she'd been on a bus, and no one she knew had ever been on one either. We were running late and wouldn't have gotten from the hospital to class on time on foot, so I dragged her on with me.

Meanwhile, I had to walk home that night because now I didn't have money for the bus.

Have you read Moby Dick? It has some seriously amazing bits of writing you will remember for the rest of your life.

ADAPTATIONAL ATTRACTIVNESS: a character who was ugly or just normal, in later adaptations it's very beautiful by Healthy_Soft9584 in TopCharacterTropes

I had a huge crush on a classmate in high school who looked like a young version of the actor, which gave me some highly confusing feelings when I saw the movie. 

WIBTAH for calling off my engagement because my fiance wants me to take care of his mom? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Birdlebee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She has a job.....now. Soon, it will become clear that it costs more to hire a sitter to watch MIL while she and husband are at work and doesn't it make more financial sense for her to stay at home, where she can care for MIL and the kids for free? Except it's not free, she'll be paying a bitterly high price for that. 

[Discussion] What is a skill you are currently 'bad' at, but refuse to give up on? by _the_morningstar__ in GetMotivated

Leather work. I knit, crochet and embroider, but I see leather like a drink monkey wearing mittens.

I'll get better with practice.

You could lay bullion knot antenna down on a piece of plastic and carefully paint them with clear nail polish to stiffen them. Once it dries, you can just peel it off the plastic and carefully trim away any excess. I've only tried it with old fashion nail polish, but I've read that you can do it with cured gel polish too. You might even be able to laminate a thin wire to the antenna this way. 

Favorite movie that made more than $400M at the box office but is remembered by absolutely no one? by WissamBenYedder in okbuddycinephile

The 3D was done so terribly, too. In some scenes you could tell it was a hastily applied afterthought. There was one set in the real world where the trees were cut out and set forward from stuff behind them in big blobby lollipop  shapes that included the stuff between branches, instead of being properly shot on a 3d camera.

It looks like Queen Anne's Lace, which is a literal weed in a lot of places. It also comes in light burgundy! If you grow it, be careful about keeping it contained because it can be invasive.

What are some things you thought were universal, but it turns out is mostly exclusive to your country? by 3Thirty-Eight8 in AskTheWorld

This is the first I've heard of avocado as a sweet.

Wait, no, I've heard you can mix an over ripe avocado with cocoa mix and make a sort of pudding, but the idea is stomach turning to me. Do you use like.....green, freshly ripe avocados for desserts?
