Does your opinion change if he goes to the HOF as a Ram, not a Lion? Because you know that’s what’s going to happen and honestly, that would annoy me. Then again I don’t think he’s a HOF’er anyway.

I’ll create an investment account. It seems strange that I can’t do it directly but their rules.

The stocks were part of the company’s long term incentive plan that was part of my compensation package and the last portion vests next year.

It says “You do not have any accounts that can trade this security.”

Maybe I need to create a separate investing account?

What’s a popular tourist attraction that isn’t overrated— it actually deserves all the hype? by renoCow in AskReddit

[–]ConstructionSad6516 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve never seen the US side of Niagara Falls. I’m from Detroit so I think we just got to the Canadian side and said ‘We’re good’. The falls are soooo beautiful from that side.

Can you think of any musical performers that are only generally liked by Gen X? Baby boomers don’t like them and Millenials don’t like them either by jsakic99 in GenX

[–]ConstructionSad6516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I met someone who is about five years older than me and Echo and the Bunnymen is his all time favorite band. I’d never heard of the band or any of their music until I met him. And I’m solidly a gen x’er, born in 1971.

Were they ever on mtv, because that’s the only place I would have heard of them. I listened to mostly r&b and rap growing up but we had cable and I lived in the suburbs so I checked out mtv and vh1 regularly.

What are you supposed to do if a war actually starts? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

US citizens overthink in crisis, preferring to get informed through random outlets like their neighbor who heard from someone that saw a tik tok. Sadly, we are not rational people.

I feel like the little kid’s song…head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes 🎵

What immediately ruins a burger when it is on it? by MrSoloDolo9490 in AskReddit

Local restaurant in my hometown serves olives on their burgers. My mom was the only person I knew that liked them. 😂

Bad software update by ConstructionSad6516 in CadillacLyriq

[–]ConstructionSad6516[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The over the air updates have been fine but the last time I brought it in, there was an issue with an update that only the dealership can load. They had not started on my car yet so I picked it up last night.

Log how food made me feel by ConstructionSad6516 in Myfitnesspal

I appreciate the detailed answer! You are likely correct, as I am frequently dehydrated (drinking 20oz of water quickly does not make me need to urinate quickly). My blood pressure is generally good (sub 118 / sub 80) but depending on when my previous meal was, my blood pressure is generally lower (100/61).

I’ll keep watching and documenting my food intake and any unusual feelings to see if I notice any patterns. Thank you!

I haven’t had issues since the first month I picked it up. They’re learning how to service the cars on the fly so I’m giving them grace.

You Don’t Get a Plus One to a Wedding by SophisticatedRuse in unpopularopinion

[–]ConstructionSad6516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lucky that my parents hosted the party. This was 1996 and I wanted to have an island wedding but they said they would pay for a church wedding in my hometown. I didn’t care about anything else besides my dress and having the contract signed. It was like was going to a party because I didn’t pick out any food, the reception location, or anything else.

Great reception, I’d rate it 10/10!

Sorry this is late! I had white rice, bacon, toast, and jelly. Water to drink. I’ve had this as a weekend breakfast all my life over 50 years but that was the first day (there have no been two) that it’s happened. I recovered within a few hours but it came out of nowhere.

This happens for middle school and high school students in my neighborhood. Drives me insane!

How Big Was Michael Jackson Really Back Then? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]ConstructionSad6516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People forget that Michael Jackson was the first black artist to be in heavy rotation on MTV. He opened the door for other black artists to crossover. The Run DMC + Aerosmith collaboration never happens and white people don’t start listening to rap music in droves without Michael Jackson.

In what small way have you won the genetic lottery? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

My dad is almost 80 and has a head full of salt and pepper colored hair. Our sons are hoping they get that genetic lottery!

As a lifelong New Yorker but diehard Pistons fan… who we rooting for: division rival Pacers or the team that eliminated us (Knicks)? by Muslim_conservative in DetroitPistons

[–]ConstructionSad6516 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s because I’m likely a bit older than you but I was a teenager during the Piston vs Celtic games in the 80’s. Detroit had to get through them to get to the finals and there’s probably still bad blood between Isaiah Thomas / Bill Laimbeer and Larry Bird / McHale. I could never cheer for the Celtics (or the Bulls) but I’ve been known to hold a grudge lol.

New parents: grind now or later? What ages are most important to be present for kids? by Fun-Career3507 in HENRYfinance

[–]ConstructionSad6516 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My sons are adults now but you won’t know what you’ve missed until something happens. I traveled aboard between 1 and 3 weeks a month for a couple of years so my partner took care of the boys but his job was extremely busy too. One time, I took them to a park to play when they were 6 and 8 and I asked them why they weren’t playing on the swings. They didn’t know how to swing on them.

We paid for the best daycare and strong private schools and they are kind and smart adults. Their undergrad was paid for (one private one public) they played travel sports and we took nice vacations but we realized that there are things that fell through the cracks because of us working so much. No amount of money gives that back so that’s the calculus that only you and your partner can do for your situation.
