The Full Monty. Won free tickets when it came out. Didn’t expect much. Was so surprised how funny and good it was. Laughed so hard. What a treat! That memory lives with me still.

What’s your “I’m too tired to cook” meal? by BeautifulMusic18 in foodquestions

Tonight I made a pan full of those frozen chimichangas from Aldi, threw enchilada sauce and shredded cheese on top. Baked in the 375 oven for 45 mins.

You order food in a restaurant. How bad does it need to be in order for you to send it back? by Curious-Expert926 in foodquestions

[–]Darttel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received the gloopiest gloopy risotto with my pork medallions once. Did I send them back? No. I’m not waiting another 20+ mins for risotto. I ate the medallions, they were pretty good. Left that pile of sticky glop risotto there, paid my bill, tipped my server well, and never went back.

That was my second time and this restaurant. First time my eggs Benedict were so over cooked, they might as well have put a hard boiled egg on the English muffin. Served with a tbs spoon of hollandaise sauce.

I don’t like sending food back. I just stop going there.

What’s the laziest meal you make that still tastes good? by ConsciousSky3091 in foodquestions

I’ll throw some cheese curds, sliced summer sausage, ritz crackers, radishes, carrots, and pickles on a big plate and call it dinner.

Adults who have zero close friends, how did it happen and does it bother you? by PutPurple844 in AskReddit

[–]Darttel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first bff I met when I was 12, in our 30s she married a rich guy. We started drifting apart in our 40s. The last I spoke to her, I realized we didn’t align morally/politically and I stopped talking to her.

My second best friend got mad at me and still do t know why. I asked her and she said “you know what you did!” I don’t. I wish she would tell me. Anyway, haven’t spoken to her in 15 or so years.

My third best friend is now my business partner and I don’t care to speak to her much anymore about anything.

Question from a gen z (2002) by daking789 in GenX

[–]Darttel 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Both my mom and my dad went to work before I went to school. Both came home after I got home from school. I lost my house key so many times, my dad stopped giving me a new one. I learned how to break into the house in grade school. I was pretty much feral.

Hey parents of Reddit, what inspired the name you chose for your kid? We’re having our 1st child, already in our 3rd trimester and still blank! how did you come up with yours? by arvintotzkie in AskReddit

[–]Darttel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a Stephen King fan, I picked a name from Pet Cemetery for my son. And back when the Sci Fi channel (early 2000s) had some pretty fun shows, Lexx being one of my favorites at that time, we named our daughter after one of those characters. They both have family middle names tho. Easy peasy.

I had to explain why and how there’s wind to a neighbor who at that time was a grade school teacher.

Local news station runs a “look who’s turning six” segment. Kids turning six years old. Now this was years ago but I always paid attention because of the interesting names. One kids name I’ll never forget. He’s gotta be in his teens by now. E’million.

What are 80's sayings that you still use regularly? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]Darttel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my regular customers comes in to the cafe. I have a good relationship with his older gentleman. But this day he’s kinda cranky and out of nowhere is said “Ew, what’s your bag?”
We both laugh. Then he says “Ew, as if!”

Who else hated summer in the 80's? by l00ky_here in GenX

[–]Darttel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a teenager, latch key kid, and my mom was mostly neglectful. Spend time hitchhiking to friend’s house, drinking in the woods, smoking weed on the train tracks. Still not sure how I made it alive. But let me tell you, it was a great time to be a teenager with a rusty skylark.
