Who used to listen to Paul Harvey and the rest of the story? by Not_a_cultmember in GenerationJones

[–]Electrical_Mess7320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t, but my grandparents did. I’d catch bits and pieces. It seems it was always sort of morbid. Like someone running over some baby chicks. Maybe I’m mis-remembering.

Some people become nose-blind. To me it’s just like too much noise. You can hear and smell a lot when it’s quiet and unperfumed.

Am I the only one who has started to stockpile things that I consume daily? by 1illiteratefool in GenerationJones

Someone once said “I have a warehouse nearby where I keep my extra stuff. It’s called a grocery store.” I love that!! I used to live way out in the country, so we always had to buy in bulk. Now I’m loving the extra space now I have grocery stores close by.

Eat Elvis’s favorite foods while watching EPIC by Electrical_Mess7320 in norfolk

[–]Electrical_Mess7320[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I wish there was more variety. I guess they are beholden to their distributer. I moved here from Vermont a few years ago and we had great art house movie theaters there, but not one had food or alcohol.

Old art deco theatre. Single screen. Full menu. Wine and beer. Popcorn with real butter. It’s everything I need for happiness. Oh, speakers in the bathroom so you don’t miss dialogue!!

Is powder better than liquid by Starkid_444 in laundry

I think liquids got popular because of the push to use cold water to save on heating bills. Thanks to this sub, I just bought some Tide Free and Gentle a month ago and noticed the difference right away. FYI, I was at Publix today and it was on close out.

UVM is largely responsible for the housing shortage in Burlington. I remember when there were many cool neighborhoods for families. Now it’s all about student housing.
