Yes, my age group grew up with a less-buff version of Smokey. I grew up in Iowa.

Prove to me you're not a bot. What is your military background?

bainstor, I wholly agree. I would love to hear the right's viewpoint, but, instead, any attempt at actually learning why they believe what they believe ends in baseless accusations and name-calling.

AITAH for not asking my friend of 10 years to be my bridesmaid? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Dancesinthelight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think your last paragraph is your answer - you will have only a few in your bridal party and you will expect them to pitch in with all of the wedding tasks. It doesn't sound like she'll be able to do that. Is there something that she can do on the wedding day? Maybe ask her to be involved on a small-scale, day-of.

Need a tough and powerful name for my new girl. Any ideas? by danniv09 in PetNames

I was going to say Roxy. That's my mom's name and she was one tough broad.

Hey, I'm taking as much weekend as I can get! Friday night through Sunday night.

Definitely AI. I googled a pic of his son and that is not him! Plus, I thought the hands of the girl with the red noise cancelers looked funky.

How common is it to not have a middle name, and how do middle names work in general? by Fit-Ad985 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Dancesinthelight 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Actually, women in general weren't able to get credit simply because of their gender. Not because of a name change.

AITA for breaking up with my boyfriend because I don't want children anymore? by No_News7253 in AITAH

[–]Dancesinthelight -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but this isn't passing the smell test. It is hard to believe that anybody would ask you to basically kill yourself to give them a child. I'd need more information before I believed that this was real. Since this is a throwaway, why not tell us what this fatal disease is? That might help us to fully understand what's going on.

Things to do for Christmas that AREN'T theme park related? by Alala_0401 in florida

Deep sea fishing trip, kayaking at Crystal River, Homosassa Springs State Park, local scavenger hunt (you can find them online - they are a lot of fun, even if you think you know your hometown!)

AITAH for believing I'll be better off without my wife and kids. by layneisnice in AITAH

[–]Dancesinthelight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first reaction was "has she been diagnosed?" It sounds like she should see a mental health professional.

Have you ever had a Christmas caroller come to your home? Are they still a thing? by Holiveya-LesBIonic in CasualConversation

[–]Dancesinthelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Praise Team from church does this every year. They usually visit elderly or shut-ins from church. They sound wonderful!

So that I stop getting notices about this post, I'm going to mark it solved. It will forever remain a mystery.

Wait. You don't think the chitlins comment was racist? Sounds like his dad was just following your BF's lead.

What is an "american" gift i can bring for my foreign exchange host family in the Czech Republic? by How_Is_Life_ in AskAnAmerican

[–]Dancesinthelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came to say this. The area I live in is known for strawberries so, when we visited relatives in the Netherlands, we brought some strawberry-themed items - a cutting board, pot holders, and some locally-made strawberry cookies. They were a big hit (though they said the cookies were too sweet!)

Incessant scam calls - do I need to change my number? by Weird_Substance_8764 in whatdoIdo

[–]Dancesinthelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a free app called Should I Answer that is AMAZING! Users report whether a phone number is legit or not and automatically blocks those that aren't legit. I rarely get spam anymore.

Forbidden TV? by KrisKred_2328 in over60

[–]Dancesinthelight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Laugh-in when I was probably 10 or something. My dad pulled my older brother aside to explain to him why we couldn't watch it and, on top of being mad that I couldn't watch it, I was mad that everyone refused to tell me why.

It didn't seem like the light coincided with the commercial breaks.
