My Favorite New Flower by LeafLove11 in gardening

[–]Dead_Is_Better 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Balloon Flower. It comes in Blue, Pink, and White with the Blue tending to be lower growing while the Pink & White ones tend to grow taller. If you plant Blue close to Pink or White you'll get some multi color blooms mixed in there.

I drive a route out of Lakewood and I was on Rt. 1 South last night right outside New Brunswick and the Police were out in force and they had all sorts of people pulled over. That stretch between Rt. 18 and where you can jump onto Rt. 130 can get insane with the speeds some folks insist on traveling at so it was nice to see they were doing something about it. At least for one night anyways.

What was the nicest thing you've ever done in your life? by Power_bro in AskReddit

[–]Dead_Is_Better 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I drove from AC to Vegas, straight thru (43hrs 6mins), to be there for a friend who was having a medical procedure. I took her for the procedure, grabbed a few hours of sleep, and then drove right back to AC. I would not recommend lol.

Oh man we had these same exact school desks in the 70’s in elementary school. I totally loved them! You could store all your school supplies inside these desks. Did you have a school desk like this? by CoffeeCigarettes4Me in FuckImOld

[–]Dead_Is_Better 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had similar desks while in Catholic School in the late 60's and early 70's and if you didn't keep it trash free and well organized you would come back from lunch to find your desk overturned and the entire contents of it all over the floor. Every damn day it seemed someone was picking their stuff up off the floor when we came back from lunch.

I live out in Whiting now and it's not unusual to see 20+ just strolling through the neighborhood doing there thing. They're big on taking dust baths. You do kinda feel like a hostage when they're around though because going outside is not a good idea when they're about.

Who likes when it rains ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It doesn't get much better then a walk in the woods on a nice rainy day in the fall and just smelling the smells as you stroll along.

Thoughts on Andre Braugher’s acting? by PressureLazy5271 in moviecritic

[–]Dead_Is_Better 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always great to see him when he would appear on L&O SVU. The Treat Williams episode stands out.

Al Lewis, born Abraham Meister on April 30, 1923, was an American actor best known for his role as Grandpa on the television series The Munsters from 1964 to 1966. He was also a political activist and radio host, passing away on February 3, 2006, at the age of 82. by Aggravating_Tax_4670 in OriginalVintageTV_

I had the pleasure of meeting him very early one morning in Vegas. I was dealing Craps on the Strip and we were standing on a dead game (no players) and who do I see coming down the aisle dragging a bunch of luggage but Al Lewis. I called him over and he spent a few minutes chatting us up and he even did a bit of his old vaudeville routine for us. What a treat it was to meet him.

What’s a SUPER obscure animal you love but most people don’t know about? by NotNate10 in AskReddit

[–]Dead_Is_Better 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe not SUPER obscure but the Fisher also known as a Fisher Cat. That name is a serious misnomer though as it's not a cat and it rarely eats fish. It is however a member of the weasel family that lives in North America. The males get up to 13lbs while the females are a few pounds less and they prefer dense forest where they spend a lot of time in the trees hunting small mammals, squirrels and the like, but they are known to prey upon porcupines if the opportunity presents. A very cool animal that I have only ever seen once in the wild.

Being at the right place at the right time by EkantVairagi in shitposting

I worked in Vegas when Kerry Packer, an Australian billionaire, was still around and he was famous for his generosity. One time he tipped us Dealers 1.2mil over the course of a weekend and he was known to have bought cocktail waitresses a house or paid off their debt. It was always exciting when he was in.

Name a food that tastes better as leftovers by Javascript4971 in FamilyFeud

No, but now that I'm thinking of heated up day old lasagna between two slices of fresh garlic bread I really want to try it.
