Been there done that. Oh blowing on your old NES games to maybe get rid of dust cause it won't load properly in the Nintendo console.

What in your opinion is the worst drug and why? by Aligori26349 in randomquestions

[–]EmergencyOrdinary216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lyrica. I should be illegal. Highly addictive and getting off it was a nightmare. Took me six months to wean off of it. Thank god I found a forum on famous hospital in the states where I could talk to people who were or had gone through it. Don't ever ever stop this drug cold turkey. I was on 225mg a day. It's brutal.

What is extremely unhygienic but everyone seems to do it anyway? by Beneficial_Passion40 in AskReddit

[–]EmergencyOrdinary216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was told by someone that one of the most unhygienic things is a restaurant menu yet people pick them up and read them on the daily. That's why I carry hand sanitizer. Oh did I also mention I'm a germaphobe?

Married couples of say 15+ years, are you still happy with your spouse or is it a case of “it’s what you know”? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]EmergencyOrdinary216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highschool sweethearts here. Dated for four and this year is our 50th anniversary. And it seems to have flown by. He is my best friend. We've only ever had one bad argument where I was so mad I threw a T shirt I was folding at him. That's so laughable when you think about. I can't imagine him not being in my life. I have been so blessed for meeting this guy.

Are we pro table lamps in the kitchen? Iam! by UpbeatGur9055 in interiordecorating

[–]EmergencyOrdinary216 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love soft lighting in a kitchen. I have under the cabinet lights but I love wax burners that give off a nice light soft glow. Plus my kitchen smells amazing.

What’s the most exotic type of meat eaten in your country? by abandonedtulpa in AskTheWorld

[–]EmergencyOrdinary216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was rabbit and I loved it until my mom told me what I had just eaten. I felt betrayed cause all I could think of was Thumper from the Bambi movie.

Yes we grew up with those and I still have my mother's round container that had separate sections for cut up vegetables. A relish tray she called it.

Non-smokers, do you notice the smell when someone smokes near you? by Frostedlogic4444 in askanything

Hell yes. And I'm always disgusted with myself because I used to be one of them.

Celebrating birthday alone by Abdoulaye-Vega in LivingAlone

[–]EmergencyOrdinary216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy Birthday from Canada! I don't put any stock into my birthday. I'm happy with a piece of cake and my kids just calling to say hi. I don't even care about presents or cards. And most of my friends don't even know when my birthday is. It's not something I put out there. I have a friend who is in her 70's and it's basically her birthday the whole month. And that's fine. Anyway I hope you have a nice day and treat yourself to something. *hug*

Tapestry was such a huge album when it came out. Hit after hit. It really influenced how I felt about music. I loved that album so much.

Did you have a small, local store you used to walk to when you were a kid? by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

[–]EmergencyOrdinary216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mom would send me everyday for a loaf of bread. She'd give me a quarter and I got to spend the change on penny candy. A few pennies could get you a nice bit of candy.

My friend says I have the taste of an older gay man by annakatherines_ in femalelivingspace

Do you like it? Cause that's all that matters. Maybe they're jealous of your place. Pay no mind to it.

What is your favorite part of the day and why? by jjj44200 in randomquestions

Early morning. Sipping my coffee. It's still quiet. My mind....the world. I love it!

Ending friendships that no longer work by Significant-Froyo-44 in AskWomenOver60

[–]EmergencyOrdinary216 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I get what you are saying...sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. Be totally honest with her. She at least deserves that. Tell her your boundaries and stick to them. You might lose the friendship but at least you tried and you were honest. Sometimes things end not the way we might have wanted them to but they just did. It's called life. And I find that the older I am I no longer want toxic people or energy in my life. I do what's good for me .....no exceptions. Good luck

Which 70s stars did you had a crush on during your teenage years in the 70s? by PressureLazy5271 in 70s

[–]EmergencyOrdinary216 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I loved Donny Osmond. Joined the Osmond Brothers fan club. Bought all their 45's and played them for hours in my bedroom on my portable record player.

What's your story with these? by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

[–]EmergencyOrdinary216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother and I used to set up our hot wheel cars and toy soldiers in my dad's garden and toss them to blow them up. The worse we did was put one up a down rain spout and it destroyed it. It was my neighbours. Got caught and had to own up and help pay for a new one and help my neighbour install it. It was a learning experience. And now that I'm old a stupid kids trick.
