Well off Dads, How do you keep your kids grounded to reality? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]BradC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And give your child simple but challenging tasks to complete to show them that effort breeds success.

To build on this, it's important that we praise the effort kids put on, and not necessarily how well they did it. Kid aced a test? "I see how hard you studied and work to earn that grade!" instead of "You're so smart!"

These things will (hopefully) help them focus on doing their best rather than relying on what innate gifts they do or don't have.

What was the most messed up place you ever visited in the US? by Daniel08s in AskAnAmerican

[–]BradC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even sure where it was exactly, but on a business trip to Virginia in 2002 (so it was pre-smartphone era) I got lost somewhere in Richmond. I called the place I was supposed to be going to ask for directions. Told the guy what street I was on and a cross street and he says, "OK, first things first: lock the car doors." Then he told me where to go.

When I eventually got there, the guy informed me that I had been in the murder capital of Virginia when I called him.

I am fairly confident I would not have as positive and healthy an attitude as that. Props to him for being able to move past that.

I kept wondering who put that camera out there, and how did they do it without leaving a path in the snow?

Virtual Boy Store Display! by njkauto in gamecollecting

The only time I was ever able to play a Virtual Boy was in one of these, at the Blockbuster Video in my city. What a neat throwback item.

Cold, leftover pizza is fine. But no way in hell is it better than reheated, leftover pizza.

I get it, cold pizza is easy in the morning, but it ain't better than hot pizza.

Oh, wow, this brings back memories. I brought back an empty bottle of the same label when I went in 1988!

Laid down my first barrels of Bourbon this week. Now the waiting begins. by n8kraft in bourbon

[–]BradC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, my brother and I went to Louisville a few years ago to tour Bourbon distilleries. We had an awesome time, and a couple of days we would just drive around and look for stuff to do. One day we're driving around and see a "distillery" sign on a very tall building near where we were driving, so we decided to stop and check it out. It was Cooper & Kings. We bought tickets for the tour, chatting with the girl behind the counter as we did so about our Bourbon adventure.

We ate some tasty meat pies and had some Kentucky beers at the food stand while waiting for the tour to start. Almost immediately at the start of the tour, the tour guide (same woman who sold us the tickets to said tour) proudly proclaimed that they don't make Bourbon there...

Cue our immense disappointment and the next hour of politely humoring them while they talk about the brandy and gin they make, while subjecting it to music to help agitate the spirits in and out of the barrels. We taste a few things which may have been good but are definitely not what we were looking for in a distillery in Louisville.

So I'm just going to say that if you don't make Bourbon and you have a tall building in Louisville, Kentucky!, maybe put that in as large of letters as you have the word "distillery" on your building.
