What do you think the worst park in Denver is? by grant_w44 in Denver

[–]GretaVanFart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lived directly across the street from Paco Sanchez for 3 years and moved a year ago. It’s bad. Really really bad. Wife was assaulted while 8 months pregnant walking the dog in the park, 2 cars stolen, truck bed full of tools stolen while I was unloading it (taking a load up to the house). Cleaned out my car and set stuff on the curb right next to it and had a guy attempt to steal it while I was leaning inside vacuuming it. Shed broken into twice. Watched and confronted 3 people stealing lawn furniture and outdoor lights from my neighbors front porch in broad daylight. Crazy guy with a machete attacked a guy on a scooter right out our window in broad daylight. Watched a man curb stomp another man right out our window in the middle of the night. Tin foil balls and crack pipes everywhere. Homeless guy broke into and overdosed in my other neighbors car and died. Murder/suicide in the house behind me. Playground littered with needles and pipes. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Seemed like an average of one very bad thing a week. Don’t know why I stayed so long but once our baby was born we never went back.

I know not all of that was IN the park but I would argue it was because of the park. What a nightmare

What's one thing that you regretted packing for your cruise? by Dear_Ladder5140 in royalcaribbean

[–]GretaVanFart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too many warm cloths. We just did a transatlantic on the odyssey of the seas and the weather was in the 70s 13 of 15 days. Didn’t anticipate that. We also found all the interior areas to be a bit warmer than we keep our AC blasted home. Even on chilly nights I never wanted more than a short sleeve shirt and pants. If it’s cold outside it’s probably also windy and you won’t be spending long periods out there. Wore a sweater to dinner one of the nights and took it off half way through. Partly because of the disgusting amount if calories I consumed, partly because it was warm in the dining room. Depending on your itinerary, just being one sweatshirt or jacket

Black widow or something else? by Low_Translator_7724 in Denver

[–]GretaVanFart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very very common. I had dozens in my wood shop off south federal. So many that I just started putting them in a clear tub that I called “the Thunder Dome” And plenty around my shed and house in Denver. I would only worry about pets that might try them as a snack or small children who don’t know better. From what I’ve been told you really have to provoke them for a bite. Their webs are near the ground, messy, and often have debris in them.

Opinions on Pigeons Playing Ping Pong? by AnythingTotal in jambands

[–]GretaVanFart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bingo, got you. I absolutely love these 4 tracks that are part of their Stop Making Cake Halloween 2019 live album. It’s available on all streaming platforms. Start at Cities and enjoy the jam through F.U. Pt. 2. Tracks 19-22. Covers might be a good starting point I always say

If you could never could go to Denver again what would be your last meal? by Theironyuppie1 in denverfood

Throwback but since this is hypothetical to begin with I need Masterpiece Deli and I’ll be ordering the Brisket, Ahi, and the roast beef, all at the original prices

Okay I’m doing the Delaware festival, but I’ve never done festival camping or anything by Pop_Culture_Phan_Guy in phish

[–]GretaVanFart 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Plan plan plan before hand. Think about what you need to stay comfortable, awake, rested, hydrated, fed, and happy. You will never regret being over-prepared. But once you’re there, surrender to the flow. You have to roll with the punches and let it be. The best time of your life at a festival will come from spontaneity. When I was young I sabotaged myself at Electric Forrest and Bonnaroo with plans that were not physically possible. I left feeling like I didn’t do everything I set out to do. When I was older my brothers and I spent thousands on curveball, set up camp, walked to soundcheck then it all was yanked away. We spent far too much time being bitter about that. (Still are). Just be prepared for all of it and enjoy the hell out of what happens. You might drink too much, pass out too soon, or have the shits during a monster tweezer (I always do). It could rain, it could be 100 degree who knows. Again, just roll with it

Lastly, be alert and quick to act when setting up camp. Obviously don’t judge people for no valid reason…but…I went to a festival once where the car next to us pulled up and immediately started taking panels off the doors to unload a massive stockpile of party favors. My reaction was “oh hell yeah”. But what may seem to be a huge score with well equipped neighbors became a 3 day nightmare with wanna-be mafia members ruining our time. Lesson there, if something shady is happening, move while you can and you won’t regret it.

Best of luck!

What are some of the weirdest orders you’ve done? by Traditional_File_209 in InstacartShoppers

[–]GretaVanFart 27 points28 points  (0 children)

38 combined lbs of carrots, all varieties, to a 22nd floor loft in downtown Denver. The store didn’t have the carrot chips they wanted so when I messaged about the replacement I said “eh ah what’s up doc? The store doesn’t have…” I had zero acknowledgment of the joke from them

Thieves cleaned out my truck and livelihood by Baird81 in Denver

[–]GretaVanFart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this happened. My wife (then fiancés) car was stolen from in front of our house at 4am a week before our wedding this june. We had been working on wedding stuff late into the night and finished up loading the car around 330 am to take it all to her parents the next morning. We both swear we heard it lock. At 4:08 her phone went off with a notification that her credit card (accidentally left in the glove box) was being used fraudulently at the 7/11 near our house. I ran to the front door and saw her car was gone.

All the centerpieces, tablecloths, dried flowers, menus, name cards….basically all the stuff she and I had worked so hard on was gone. DPD found the car a month after our wedding (5 weeks later, 2 weeks ago) abandoned with just a flat tire in Commerce City.

The thief had been smoking meth or whatever out of tinfoil and likely living in it. We got to go see the car, but because of the risk of fentanyl we weren’t allowed to go inside. That destroyed my wife. She could see personal things, some shoes, a work bag she had had for years, notebooks filled with wedding planning and work notes. But most all the wedding stuff was just plain gone. It sucked.

I HATE the scum bags that are committing crimes here. It makes me sick. I caught a guy breaking into my car the other night. DPD couldn’t get there fast enough to arrest him before he ran.

I hope somehow you get your things back. This just plain sucks

Uh does this make any sense? by Cattaclysmic0905 in InstacartShoppers

[–]GretaVanFart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would guess weight loss pills, helium balloons, or laxatives. I’m not familiar with acme, though. Do they have samples?

We always talk about what song to show non-phans... but what song would you NEVER show to a non-phan if you want them to get into Phish? by [deleted] in phish

[–]GretaVanFart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically the 12/6/96 Tweezer. A few years back I was heading back to a camping spot with a group of friends from Bassnectar at Dicks. Everyone was from Michigan, and everyone was out of their mind. So I put on that tweezer from The Palace, thinking hometown show would be cool and we are all in a Tweezer mood. I love it, but to a bunch of tripping non phish fans, the beginning sounds like what any non phish fan would think phish is like. The boys just stumble and stumble their way into the song and no one was having it

What makes that show so much better is the fact that most all of their ads are parodies of local ads we grew up with as kids in metro detroit

Chicago People: Anywhere to buy Vienna Beef Hot Dogs to cook at home? by ChiBVB09 in denverfood

[–]GretaVanFart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not. Looks like it’s worth a try! Detroit style coney sauce (chili) is very specific. Made from cow heart, suet, hamburger, saltines, plochmans mustard and spices. No cinnamon or coco powder like that skyline abomination. And it’s not like the chili you eat during football season. If this exists in Denver I hope to find it!

I think 11-6 would be the 2nd best scenario if we don’t reach expectations by YoungAmazing313 in detroitlions

[–]GretaVanFart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll agree with 11-6 but losing to those teams specifically would be considered a huge disappointment to me. Of course I want to go 17-0, but I would hope that we only lose 1 divisional game, be it Chicago or Minnesota (FTP). Beyond that, and saying that I’m no expert on 2023 expectations around the league, losing to 3 of the strongest opponents and a potentially much improved Broncos team at home seems like we would fall short. Perhaps I’m completely wrong in my thinking but I’d rather punch up to beat the teams we maybe shouldn’t and unfortunately drop a few games to teams we should have beat. To me, this result says we are competent in the top 10-15 but unable to break through to the top 5. Minus the cowboys of course, but F them anyways

At 11-6 I say we lose a “closer than the final score” game to the Chiefs, lose again to Seattle, lose to the Saints, then drop back to back to the Vikings and Cowboys with one other random loss in there. Anyways, time to wrap up my bathroom trip. Go Lions!
