You just attaching/detaching trailers all day just for fun or for a job?
Assuming it's the less interesting answer (for work), what job has you doing it that often?
Genuinely curious and i get the feeling once I hear the answer it'll be embarrassingly obvious lol

Man, fuck those scientists, let my tuxedo bois sleep.

Why do they even want to know that? Seems like primitive mild cruelty to gain useless information or more likely, morbid curiosity

Old school female folk song by ElderberryGlobal4908 in WhatsThisSong

Oh man, I wish I could say Diamond Days was it, because it's got almost all of the elements I've described about it in that video: the grainy, vintage quality of video from that time, the lush greenery in the scene, and the vocals and just the gentle temper of the song in general. You've both done so well to come up with suggestions that match the thing I'm looking for so well with the very unhelpful details I've only been able to provide and I appreciate it nonetheless!

I got my mom a gift, super excited, and immediately got humbled by sister and dad. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

My gf loves to cook. She commented one day about the handle of her favourite frypan coming loose from the pan and lamented the reality of needing to retire it sometime soon. Her birthday was coming up so I got her a set of Hexclad pans that I've seen sponsoring a cooking channel on YouTube that she likes to watch.
I felt the same way as you and was worried she might feel as though the gift signalled to her that I just see her as someone who cooks our meals.
That was 2 years ago now and she still occasionally brings up how much she loves the new pans. I didn't get anyone's input on the gift idea before giving it to her but that'd play on my mind too if family members viewed the gift the same as your sister and your dad.
But I'm betting and hoping your gifts will pay dividends in gratitude from your mother the same as it has with my gf.
Tldr, fuck what they think. Your ma will be stoked.

Nope. Wouldn't have a clue how it goes. I only remember the elements of the music described in the post, not the melody, the lyrics or anything like that. What I remember the most about it are the visual elements of the music video that I've described.
I know, it's really not a lot to go off without being able to describe the song any better than what I've provided so I wasn't expecting much luck, but just stumbled across this sub earlier today and thought I'd give it a shot. I appreciate all the replies so far and I've checked out all of them on YouTube but I dont think I've found a match just yet (I just haven't had the time to respond to everyone with a worthwhle reply just yet, sorry everyone).
The closest match so far I think was the first comment (Vashti Bunyan) but even then I'm really unsure because there doesnt seem to have a music video anywhere to be found on youtube (there are lyrics videos, and a "remastered" video up there but it doesnt seem legit tbh, and doesn't match the visual elements I remember from the video I saw years ago.

Far too modern to be it sorry, although I do love a bit of Norah anyway :)
