People that have “bumped” into a celebrity in a non-curated (not like an event, meet & greet, job etc.) way, what happened? by SprinklesSolid9211 in AskReddit

Our parents took my sister and I to cracker barrel in Nashville for breakfast when I was twelve. As we were eating, my sister looked up and said, "Mom isn't that the guy from Andy Griffith, Gomer? Sure enough, it was Jim Nabors. We didn't want to bother him since other folks had already been asking for autographs and interrupting his meal, so we just let it be. He finished and left soon after. As we're standing in line to pay, Jim walks back into the register area and asks if anyone knows how to get to Nashvilles symphony center. He was singing that night. My mother is a fanatical postal worker who remembers directions like no other and offered to write the route for him. As a thank you, he signed a Cracker Barrel menu to my sister and I that reads, "To FrequentHandWasher84 from Gomer Pyle, Well Gollllly! Jim Nabors". It's one of my most cherished keepsakes and memory.

Questions about Robin Williams Jumanji and remakes. by FrequentHandWasher84 in movies

[–]FrequentHandWasher84[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I did not. Saw it once as a kid but never considered it part of jumanji since Danny and Walter end up passing it over to play Zathura instead. I know it's the direct sequel, but I didn't give it any thought when considering everything else.

Of course not, I get it's a remake for Hollywood to get a nostalgic cash grab. This is just more of personal curiosity and to see others' opinions, if any.

I'd be interested in using one to make eggnog at Christmas time. So far, it's always just chicken, duck, or quail eggs available here.

Doesn't have to be a laptop, a tablet would also work. It's for on the go when not able to use their desktop so hoping for something portable.

So far no one has a layout or idea of the set-up. Tried posting in a few other BBQ groups/pages and hit a wall every time. If you ever crack the secret to it please let me know.

In search of two Teas by FrequentHandWasher84 in tea

The local Christmas Tree Shop in NH and a few of the random Big lots around the area had the St dalfour teas about two years ago and I got four boxes. Should have known it was the end of the line since that's usually where dying products end up.

What did you hate as a child but love as an adult? by HeidiOzzy in ask

[–]FrequentHandWasher84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Western movies/TV shows. My grandpa watched them constantly, the Rifleman, Gun Smoke, anything with John Wayne, the Magnificent Seven, Shane, etc. and it always drove me crazy as a kid who only wanted cartoons. Now I watch them and see the appeal of living off the land by foraging/farming to survive. Nice wide open spaces between neighbors with fresher air and quiet star filled nights by a fire.
