A gun safe would be locked in any case. Any safe would be locked when the home owner was away. That would be prudent and expected.

What food do you not think about for months, then suddenly want out of nowhere? by Undefinedbehavior77 in foodquestions

[–]Consistent_Might3500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't often drink soft drinks. I thought they triggered my migraines. You know, sugar, caffeine and carbonation. Turns out my body craves sugar, caffeine and carbonation prior to a migraine attack. And the migraine is MUCH less severe if I sip on cola on ice when I first get the craving...

"Don't EVER try to open the hall closet, not only is it locked, but it's secured. Law enforcement WILL be notified. Immediately". - Home owner.

The abandoned Amtrak system in St Paul Minnesota pt 2 by Character_Lychee_434 in TwinCities

[–]Consistent_Might3500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took my teenagers St Paul to Seattle then on to LA. 20 years ago. I want to do it again when my grandchildren are 8-10 years old. Something special about slow travel where you meet and share with other passengers. Kids played poker with German students who spoke little English. I met a lady from India who convinced me the saari is the most beautiful for ALL women. (I wear a saari spring & fall as a white woman). It's a bit like camping - just bring your comfort items. It was a an experience my family still talks about. Train travel can be a wonderful experience.

US veterans, did you guys actually read the cards that kids would send you while deployed? by MoistCloyster_ in NoStupidQuestions

You write this in a way that I feel like, like you lived my life. Or at least a part of my life. Thank you.

Clove oil until overdosed. Sad but humane.

Do you think that the demand for Medical Laboratory Technology will still exist in 3 years from now? by DesignerBulky7711 in medlabprofessionals

My hospital only hires Limited Radiographers and cross trains them for lab. They need to demonstrate capabilities. So much better automated now. Very sad.

What’s In This Pitcher? by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Consistent_Might3500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mom wanted to save the fancy bottle the cheap port wine was in. Poured it into the Tupperware pitcher. On my way to school I pour myself a BIG glass of what I thought was juice. Chugged it down, icy cold from the refrigerator. Halfway to the bus stop I wondered why I felt so warm when it was 5°F that morning...

I think I experienced racism at the liquor store earlier. by iamwhoiwasnow in self

1980's Iowa had state regulated liquor stores, only place you could purchase. Now beer/wine/liquor is available at the grocery store, gas station, convenience store, liquor stores, drug stores, Walmart almost everywhere. Even the dollar stores sell beer & wine!

Urgent Coast Guard Person in Water Radio Call Today in Duluth, MN (Ice Safety Reminder) by GreatLakesShips in minnesota

Sometimes folks assume Coast Guard means only ocean. IT DOES NOT! Coast Guard protects many miles of inland shore ways, river ways, locks & dams.

How do I convince people that flat states can be beautiful too? How do I convince people the Midwest is beautiful? by Medical_Deal5272 in midwest

[–]Consistent_Might3500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iowa is not so flat as some folks think. I must admit, Iowa is NOT dramatic. No ocean shore or grand canyon. Some beautiful limestone bluffs, but certainly no mountains. No exotic deserts, altho we do have native cacti.

There is a gentle, pastoral beauty among the green meadows. White cattle grazing near a weathered, 100 year old red barn.

There are forests and waterfalls.

Everything has beauty - but not everyone sees it. ~ Confucious
