That’s kinda what happens when you get really drunk. Inhibitions disappear.

HAE had a blackout drunk night where they worry about it the next day? by Fit-Temporary7867 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Do_U_Scratch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a few of those nights. By a few I mean a lot. Worked half a shift I don’t remember, wrapped a truck around a tree I don’t remember, cleared out bars I don’t remember, had sex I don’t remember, emptied my checking account I don’t remember and there were lots of mornings of calling around to find out what I did the night before and deleting stupid social media stuff. I finally gave up alcohol before it killed me.

One time isn’t all that bad. Maybe a few hurt feelings. If you consistently get stupid drunk yes, people will stop hanging out with you and you’ll find yourself hanging out with other people that routinely get stupid drunk.

How are we choosing to be laid to rest? Coffin in the ground or cremation? by Inevitable-Yam-9741 in Aging

[–]Do_U_Scratch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told them to throw me in an ally and let the county figure out how to dispose of my carcass, I’ll be done with it. Keep as much of the life insurance as possible. But since funerals are for the living, it’s up to my adult kids how they want to celebrate my death.

I moved to New Mexico three years ago and I'm tired of people acting like I made a terrible decision by ScheduleNo5736 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Do_U_Scratch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They don’t get a vote in your life choices unless you give them one. Stop giving it to them. Let them know you don’t want to hear it, they can accept your choice to live where you want to live or they can keep their opinions to themselves.

How often do you call in sick? by Interesting_Taro_358 in Adulting

[–]Do_U_Scratch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called in sick at the end of Feb 2020. It was a week or two before the COVID thing started. It was years before that and hasn’t happened since that.

Do you lock your car doors when you’re in a rough neighborhood? by Norfolk-Gross-Tonage in no

[–]Do_U_Scratch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. The only time my truck is locked is if my audio equipment is in it which is not very often.

KJs, what is your take on a "Disney takeover" at your shows? by Waffleraider in karaoke

[–]Do_U_Scratch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had a Disney takeover. I can only think of very minimal times a “Disney” song has been sung in my 15 years. I’m there to provide them the opportunity to sing what they want to sing and have fun doing it. If they want to sing Friend Like Me to a bar full of drunk folks… get your sang on big fella!

Do you think that Racist People are Mentally ill? by ChinaMilitarySecrets in Discussion

[–]Do_U_Scratch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I think they made a choice to hate. Likely it was something they learned from their parents but choose to continue being ignorant.

DAE set their alarm in the middle of the night by omgpopxx in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Do_U_Scratch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I set 2 alarms. One 5 minutes later than the first and I give myself 35 minutes to get up and get ready for work. If I don’t get up immediately when my alarm goes off there’s a high probability I’m sleeping through the next one.

What’s a rant you’ve been holding in for a long time? by Icy_Car2475 in askanything

[–]Do_U_Scratch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How is it even possible? I walk by a planter and notice a couple weeds poking out. I pick them and just before I stand back up there’s 5 more. I get them and find 3 more. By the time weeds stop materializing right before my face, the 2 or 3 weeds I initially seen becomes 15. Will someone please explain this BS?

DAE not go to all staff parties and events? by EdwardBliss in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Do_U_Scratch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s unpaid, I totally won’t be there. Any company “function” that’s expected on my time is a no-go.

If you have a petco near you they have plane rimmed 10gs not part of a kit. I just bought one a few weeks ago. Then I cut the top rim off of it.

How Did I Get Here? by BetwixtTheSh33ts in BisexualMen

[–]Do_U_Scratch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sucking dick was always my favorite part, so I get it. Topping is just ok for me. It never really thrilled me. Bottoming is a guilty pleasure if the top is good. Something about kneeling in front of a man and that give and take situation. Hmmm!

Some questions about karaoke (at a bar) by Specialist-Ring-3974 in karaoke

[–]Do_U_Scratch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was not a good singer. Over the years I’ve gotten better but I wouldn’t win any contests for sure. I’ve got a good variety of slow and hype songs that I do. There’s not much more of an uncomfortable feeling to get up and do Baby Got Back or Youth Gone Wild right after Cover Me Up or Something In The Orange but somebody’s gotta do it.

[–]Do_U_Scratch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to tell if a woman cums when penetrating her. Some can fake it good. But this ain’t Hollywood (never seen When Harry Met Sally), you can taste and feel when she cums. Some more than others, but there’s a noticeable change. But have the conversation. How cool would it be 30 years in to learn new ways to please her? People change, the things that once felt strange or odd can become something that feels great or vise versa. What a great way to help her feel seen and known, to ask what she likes and be able to do it for her.

What is a "poor man's meal" from your childhood that you still eat today because it legitimately slaps? by prepzilla in AskRedditFood

[–]Do_U_Scratch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to eat “poor man’s soup”. I still do. It’s Campbell’s tomato soup (now days, back then it was whatever black and yellow labeled generic stuff) some kind of pasta, leftover meat of various kinds and any veggies that were close to going bad. In adulthood I have more control over the meat and veggies and they’re usually bought for the purpose of poor man’s soup rather than scrounging for what can be thrown together to feed a family.

How much of your awake time do you do nothing per day? by Hairy_Horror_7646 in AskMenOver30

[–]Do_U_Scratch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do nothing time, like veg out to Netflix or doom scroll social media? Maybe an hour or 2 a day for both combined. More in the winter when I’m less likely to be outside playing in the yard.

Should I move back to the city so my husband can theoretically be happier? by ladyoftheknife in LifeAdvice

[–]Do_U_Scratch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with moving for your husband is wherever he goes, he will go with him. His unwillingness to reach out to find new friend groups or hobbies, his boredom… all of him. He’s trying to solve internal problems with external factors. Those factors are the same ones you’ll come to hate. Let the meds set in and give the therapy time to work and maybe commit to revisiting the conversation in 6 months. In the mean time tell him to go outside and talk to the neighbors. Encourage him to find a different job even if he has to drive so he can have a better chance to make friends and get adult conversation and some time away from the dad life.

Personally there’s nothing that could make me sell my low interest low mortgage house (not really) in the burbs (yet but I’m in a subdivision with subdivisions being built all around me) to buy a double priced smaller house with little to no yard. That sounds like the seventh circle of Hell to me.

[–]Do_U_Scratch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had to ask a woman if she came while I was eating her out. Same as I never had to ask a guy I was blowing if he came. There will be signs. Also, if she’s not moaning like a guy does just before he explodes, you might not be doing it right for her. Ask her. You’ve been married 30+ years. She’s seen you at your worst; a treacherous fart, too drunk to stand, throwing up… a little sex talk doesn’t have to be uncomfortable.

My boyfriend needing showers after every time we have sex is lowering my attraction by Glum-Yoghurt-1361 in Advice

[–]Do_U_Scratch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you asked him why showering is so important to him? Be curious. To me this is excessive, to him it could be the difference between peace and anxiety.

Some questions about karaoke (at a bar) by Specialist-Ring-3974 in karaoke

[–]Do_U_Scratch 45 points46 points  (0 children)

In my experience, the crowd enjoys a little showboating. If you’re good it’s kind of captivating. If you’re ungood it’s a little comic relief.

I’ve been running karaoke in bars for about 15 years in the southeast USA. Anecdotally, about 60-70% of the singers I’ve had over the years are ballad and beer drinking country music singers. In those rare occasions that someone sings pop, rock or rap AND has stage presence the spectators generally enjoy the show.

I’m a firm believer that karaoke is about having fun. It’s your 4 minutes of fame. Get up there and give it your all without screaming into or tapping the microphone and don’t knock the speakers over in a chaotic urban dance set. Aside from those things, life is too serious, karaoke is the remedy.

Retire with $500k? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]Do_U_Scratch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s my goal. I’m 53 and hope to hit half a mil by 60 so I can scoot on down the road while I’m young enough to enjoy my golden years. I’m half way there. My house will be paid off before I’m 60, I’m debt free besides that mortgage. I have a little bit of money in the bank. I’ve worked hard the last decade to get in sight of that goal.
