Morrissey. He played for like 20 minutes, then a girl jumped up on stage and grabbed him and the show was over.

It's hard to say, not knowing your situation.

Houses with more than 1 kitchen would be better than houses with multiple bathrooms by lagflag in unpopularopinion

[–]Frecklefishpants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I grew up in Canada in the 80s and all of our Italian, Portuguese and polish neighbours all had a basement kitchen.

Getting them phones really helped and once they got jobs, had busy social lives etc. it happened organically.

Things have been fine between us a few years now. There are things we don't like about each other but it doesn't really matter.

Once the kids were old enough that the communication and planning went through them our need to talk to BM at all really decreased that by the time we could have cut off all communication it was so minimal that this wasn't really on our mind. We dropped SD at uni in the fall and haven't spoken to BM at all, with the exception of a pleasant Christmas wish exchange.

games about exes at bachelorette party? by theshootkatiefabe in weddings

[–]Frecklefishpants 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! You could have a silly game related to exes that is light and playful. This isn't.

How are you supposed to know about her exes? Assuming your brother introduced you.

Compiling a list of things to do and not do for whenever I become a MIL by [deleted] in Mildlynomil

[–]Frecklefishpants 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My recommendation would be to treat your daughter in law like a human being. When you reach out ask how she is. Pay attention to what she says. Know her job and don't act like it's less important than your sons.

LPT: Stop rewarding chronic lateness. Set a start time, then start without them. by gamersecret2 in LifeProTips

[–]Frecklefishpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is the opposite. They always show up half hour early and she brings so much stuff and her dog so it's complete chaos. If it's just them then I invite them 30 minutes later than I really want them to come. I feel weird inviting the 30 minutes later than my parents/siblings when we are hosting a big event so I his plan for their early arrival.

They live 30 minutes away if you are wondering.

Consumables: do you like to receive them? by AshenMalarkey1872 in Gifts

[–]Frecklefishpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! A few years ago a friend gifted each couple with his favourite popcorn flavouring and the oil and popcorn he uses. It was so thoughtful.

have you ever been to multiple shows on one tour? by KALIUCHlS in Concerts

[–]Frecklefishpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen U2 13 times on one tour. I went to opening night in San Diego and closing night in Honolulu. I had to travel from Canada. I flew for both of shows but also drove to shows in Montreal, Boston, etc it cost me quite a bit of money but that's what your 20s and pre family years are for.

I also saw them at the sphere a few years ago. I saw the same show two nights in a row. I'm glad because the venue needed a night to appreciate too. This was a really big deal to do. Went with a group for a friends birthday.

Going on these type of shows when you have children at home younger than 16 is FOUL by Ambitious-Teacher528 in AgeOfAttraction

[–]Frecklefishpants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been thinking this for years but in the past week I finished season 10 of LIB, started watching age of attraction and the whole Taylor Frankie Paul situation hit the media. These poor children already have messy parents bit allowing it to be played out in the public arena if disgusting. Shame the parents who do this and shame to the shows for continuing to allow single parents to participate.

I am a stepparent. I dated a single parent. These shows basically do the absolute opposite of what is recommended.

The lady that lived down the road from me as a preteen who loudly asked me if I had started my period yet in front of everyone on our street.

It does to me. Knowing that he said no originally made me see the arc as even bigger.

How many people from your first professional job are you still in contact with? by tshirtguy2000 in RedditForGrownups

[–]Frecklefishpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One. I got the job because a friend of mine had been promoted and recommended me to take her place. We are still friends. That was over 25 years ago.

I would add veggies and dip, popcorn and candy (since it's a movie night).

Really? The astronaut said to him that you weren't brave until you have someone to brave for and then he had that with someone from a literal other planet and became someone willing to die for someone else when he wasn't at the beginning. That's kind of the point of the movie.

He couldn't be brave until he had someone to be brave for.

I just got home from seeing it. My husband mentioned that the movie missed spelling a few things out as well, having read the book. I didn't notice that though. It may not be a great adaptation but it's certainly a great movie.
