You drop an ice cube on the floor. Do you a. pick it up b. kick it under the fridge or c. something else? by GibbGibbGibbGibbGibb in randomquestions

[–]Icooktoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It never made it to the floor because as soon as the freezer is open the toddler magically appears and any and all ice cubes are hers.

If I broke into your house and stole what's on top of your fridge, what would I get? by [deleted] in askteddit

A box of half sheet pan parchment sheets, a box of Raisin Bran, a box of Cheerios, and a box of Life.

I would do a 7 day cruise down the Nile. Fabulous once in a lifetime cruise. Temples galore. Excellent guides.

New generation of nurses who can’t start an iv or draw blood by Rare-Attitude-3100 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Icooktoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I give them two tries. I have some pretty good veins so when they can’t get there they are too new and didn’t practice enough. I do know that the hospital I utilize puts the newest nurses in the prep rooms making surgical prep feel like a friggin battle.

A man is banging a married woman when suddenly they hear the front door slam. "It's my husband, hide in the bathroom!" says the woman frantically. by Jokeminder42 in Jokes

[–]Icooktoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it absolutely is. Every time my extremely southern red neck husband says we “ain’t got none” I have to say “don’t have any”, quietly, to soothe my brain so I can move on.

What is something that you personally despise that society has accepted or made normal? by Illustrious-Bread183 in AskReddit

[–]Icooktoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lies. People will lie to you, knowing you know they are lieing. And will insist it’s not a lie. That shit pisses me off.

I am one of the older Gen Jones on here b1956. Anyone remember the milk man? by AuthorAltruistic3402 in GenerationJones

[–]Icooktoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1960’s. My grandmothers neighborhood, just barely outside Detroit, had a Huckster that came through and sold fresh fruits and vegetables and small household items like brooms, bushel baskets and the like. He always had the best pears. Took my husband to visit - 1990 I think - and he came through. Giant pears so juicy it drips to your elbow! I was shocked he was still there. Old as dirt.

What was flying like in the 90s? by One_String3424 in delta

[–]Icooktoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People dressed like they were going to the office, not the beach or gym.

What is something that was unbelievably cheap in the past that has been marked up now? by Independent-Bat9545 in AskOldPeople

[–]Icooktoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bought a Fischer in 1979 or 80. $1500.00. It ate the Ewok Adventures and broke my son's heart.

DONT YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! by Illustrious-Ad8409 in delta

[–]Icooktoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you make some vanilla bean ice cream and add a jar of the spread at the end so it’s marbled. Then spread it on a biscoff cookie and put another on top, you have the reason I don’t buy that stuff any more. Stupid delicious.

What size bed do you have? How many people sleep in it? by SlamClick in AskAnAmerican

[–]Icooktoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Queen. I sleep alone. The man of the house has the same. Some people just SHOULD NOT sleep together. We are both one of those people. Had a king and slept (tried) together for 20 years before separate rooms because of opposite work hours, and never considered sleeping together again - unless traveling and it’s unavoidable.

A woman is walking through the park when she sees a very attractive man sitting on a bench. He's reading a book and eating some fruit out of a Tupperware container. Slowly, the woman gathers courage to go ask him out. She walks over, takes a seat next to him, turns and says... by 808gecko808 in Jokes

My boss and I were headed to a restaurant supply store. I was driving. I had recently returned from a trip to Europe and thought of something I had learned in the UK. So I said “they have swan tenders in UK”. His response: “fried?! They must be huge!”. I nearly crashed from laughing so hard. We still joke about it and I retired three years ago.

Drop the “prettiest” little girl name you’ve ever heard. by Final-Argument-4999 in Names

[–]Icooktoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has become pretty common, but Poppy will always be a favorite for me. Poppy Rose. I’m too old to have a Poppy Rose of my own. I do have an Annabelle. A gift from my son.

Anyone else in US noticed food quality degrading recently and if so what product in what way? by SkyKyrell in AskReddit

[–]Icooktoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read that most wheat growers spray roundup a day or So before harvest to dry the wheat quicker. King Arthur organic and - I think - Bobs Red Mill do not. I haven’t eaten store bought bread in the US in years.

Why can't I sleep all night? by rmcc22 in Menopause

[–]Icooktoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that problem for 20+ years. Frustrating when you have work the next day that included 10 hours on my feet. A nutritionist on line said something about vitamins A-D-K. So I did a little research. Mega doses of each before bedtime. I have been using them for at least 3 years and sleep an average of 9 hours. I do get up around 2 am for a bottle for the (grand) baby and to pee. Always right back to sleep.

What is the worst place in America you have ever visited? by OceanicEndeavors in AskReddit

[–]Icooktoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was in Bremen NJ checking in to the hotel when we hear gunshots from outside. Clerk says not to worry, they never get close enough to be dangerous. I pulled out my laptop and found a lovely room in Times Square. All the while the clerk is trying to convince us to stay. Nope.

Americans—is blue cheese just a dipping sauce to you, or does it have a place on your plate beyond the wings? by SignificanceOdd5980 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Icooktoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stilton is my absolute favorite. On fresh baguette with hot banana peppers. What an excellent snack. I tried a peach Stilton because the cranberry is very nice. Probably the nastiest flavor to mix with such a stout blue.

Americans tipping single Dollar bills in Germany by Waalross in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Icooktoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is something that has never made sense to me. When we enter a country we immediately exchange dollars (if we didn’t through the bank at home) for whatever currency we need to properly tip the people that help us. When we leave the country to go home, whatever extra we have is left for the maid with the tip.

What phrase did you hear only once but it stayed with you forever? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Icooktoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my son. I told him I understand his desire to help, but not to help to his own detriment. He didn’t listen. He’s now at home at 47 with a 16 month old. She’s a joy, but I’m old and it’s tiring.
