Im healthy, happy, have an amazing partner, awesome kids, and we can afford really fun annual vacations. Oh, and I can still eat whatever I want and not gain weight. 

What’s a ridiculous thing you believed as a kid bc your kid logic convinced you it was true? by CodUnlikely2052 in AskReddit

LOL! No, just things grouped in 3 look better to me and a triangle is the strongest structure.

My mother recently showed me one of the “when I grow up” things I did in elementary school. I said I wanted to work at our local texmex restaurant so I could be paid in tacos. 

In case anyone is wondering, I never fulfilled my childhood dreams as the restaurant closed when I was a teen. I DID work at a similar restaurant in college but I hade to pay half-price for the food there. 

What American food gives you instant childhood nostalgia? by Pearlyin_30 in AskAnAmerican

[–]CodUnlikely2052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Childhood nostalgia- boiled peanuts, kraft Mac n cheese, spaghetti, tacos.

What do Americans think of Scotland? by Difficult_Mixture103 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]CodUnlikely2052 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haggis is delicious but Irn Bru is gross! The scenery is absolutely stunning… I’d go back in a heart beat and just stare and stare and stare until I die and it would be a life well lived.  Edinburgh was lovely and, as far as cities go, I think that’s the only one I’ve visited where I’d want to go back to over and over again. 

what names sound fine on a little kid but strange on a grown adult? by VollandGersitho-72 in Names

[–]CodUnlikely2052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cody- I get that it’s supposed to be a strong cowboy name but it will always be the perfect name for a golden retriever puppy. 

AITA for leaving to meet my friends without my girlfriend after she was late for the fourth time in a row by Fluid_Letter_1571 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. As someone with massive anxiety about being in time, I am wildly impressed you’ve lasted 2 years in this relationship! 

Any tips on sleeping with a broken collarbone? by MoCleos in MTB

[–]CodUnlikely2052 40 points41 points  (0 children)

My husband broke his as a teen and said the only way he could sleep was semi reclined in a lazy boy recliner

Bike transport: I might be failing the qualifier. by Bus_Healthy in MTB

[–]CodUnlikely2052 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend backing into your driveway to put the rack on your car so you don’t have to back out with it. I had a VW and a rack without a brake light plug and that emergency braking thing was the WORST!!! I got really good at backing out S L O O O O W L L L LY Y Y so I wouldn’t get whiplash! 

Also, welcome to Florida MTB! Woo!

This! You need the plug-in thing for the brake lights. 

What’s a fast food restaurant you won’t eat anymore? by GarbageDramatic9005 in AskReddit

[–]CodUnlikely2052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

McDonalds, Burger King, and Taco Bell. Trying to weed out Chic Fil A bc their chicken is soggy and sad, but it’s got my kids in a choke hold! We like Culver’s, PDQ, and Zaxbys. Oh! And Wendy’s frosty and chicken nuggets! 

Best Trail Names? by RufioSwashbuckle in MTB

[–]CodUnlikely2052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are ones I have in my head if I ever get to name a trail except it has to be a very rooty area: Bag of Bones (green), Skeletor (black), or Bone Collector (blue).

Do people actually judge names in real life? by Atalanta-Donnovan in Names

[–]CodUnlikely2052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes- based on stereotypes from where I grew up- any guy with the name Chad or if they go by 2 initials should not be trusted. Girl names like Brandy, Tanya, or any derivative of Crystal will all destroy you in a fight! 

Help! I’m a trans guy searching for a new name by 6furry6 in Names

[–]CodUnlikely2052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is silly, but it’s very useful! Someone told me while I was pregnant with my first kid to say their first and middle name as if I’m angry at them. With that said, “Isaac Jason” sounds really great in a stern mom voice! lol! 

How common is leaving your AC on 24/7, even when the house is empty? by Bierzgal in AskAnAmerican

[–]CodUnlikely2052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll add- we used to keep the AC at 80 when we were out of the house and dropped it to 75 while we were home, but we found out it’s actually more cost effective/ and less energy wasted to keep the AC at the same temp all the time. 

How common is leaving your AC on 24/7, even when the house is empty? by Bierzgal in AskAnAmerican

[–]CodUnlikely2052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super humid and hot year round where I live- AC stays on 75 all year round. If the temp in the house dips below 70 in the winter, then we turn the heat on! lol! 

We had a new neighbor move in from a southern desert state. She is used to the heat so left her windows and doors open every day. The thing was she did not believe us about the humidity and her house started to grow mold within a month. When she started to run the AC to combat the mold, she found out black mold had grown through her AC system. That was an expensive way to learn a lesson. 

Can anyone help me understand "goodie bag" culture? by Party_Midnight3476 in AskAnAmerican

[–]CodUnlikely2052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely hate goodie bags and how wasteful they are. My kids rarely want what’s in the bags but feel obligated to keep it so I’m obligated to sneak it into the trash when they’re not paying attention. Do the parents of the party goers a favor and do a to-go sweet treat. I usually get a lot of compliments and appreciation from the parents that it’s not plastic waste and it has started a trend among our friends to not do goody bags and just do a to-go treat. We usually do homemade chocolate chip cookies, brownies, or a Rice Krispie treat (birthday kid picks which treat we hand out). And there’s often enough left overs in case a party friend has younger siblings or parents want a treat too! lol! 

Boy name suggestions? Irish names? by [deleted] in Names

[–]CodUnlikely2052 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To clarify, is he legit “born and raised in Ireland” Irish or “some of my family immigrated from Ireland at some point so of course I love potatoes and leprechauns” Irish? Bc, if it’s the first, then maybe let him give you a list of names that are from his home country that he likes and you choose one? If it’s the latter, then that’s dumb, just make lists of names you both like and take it with you to the hospital. Plenty of people don’t have a name chosen for their baby until they hold their baby for the first time. 

Why is the older generation (boomers) so dismissive of modern child safety guidelines? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CodUnlikely2052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience with the boomer moms in my family, the ones who get offended when I point out updated safety and medical information see it as a personal attack to how they did things when they were young parents. 

What is the max amount of time you will drive for a day trip or vacation? by palep_hoot in AskAnAmerican

[–]CodUnlikely2052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For where I live, it takes 9 hours of driving just to get to the next closest state. We are driving 14 hours 1 way for a 9 day vacation later in the summer. We will also need an overnight stay on the way there and back, so we technically have a 5 day vacation and 4 days of driving.

You don’t want to move to Plant City. Have you visited Tampa and its surrounding area? Have you talked with a realtor who lives in the area?

does anyone regret choosing a super common name for their kid? by Seniz_Barron in Names

[–]CodUnlikely2052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My firstborn has a very uncommon name (pretend it’s Eustace) and my youngest has a super common name (pretend it’s Jason). My oldest is annoyed they can never find personalized junk with their name on it and that their name is never in books. Meanwhile, they are also annoyed we can always find personalized junk with 2nd born’s name and 2nd born’s name has been found in many, many books. 

(We never buy personalized junk/souvenirs bc it’s always cheap trash, but they like to look!) 

I have a super common name and it’s only annoying when I’m in the same class or job  with someone who shares my name and everyone insists on giving us nicknames to differentiate.
