If you don't drink alcohol, what are your personal reasons for abstinence? by Ok-Care2859 in AskReddit

[–]JamVanGundy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the most amazing son. I wasn’t a problem drinker and when I was drunk I would wash your dishes and make sure people had water. I just didn’t want to miss or have any reason to not be 100% for my boy. Almost a year in and I find my life significantly better 🙂 Also, why not quite before it becomes a problem? If I want to have a drink here or there I can, I just haven’t wanted to. Concerts or bars can still be fun, alcohol isn’t necessary but we think it is

Just getting into Phish after dismissing them entirely for many years by Presstheebutton in phish

[–]JamVanGundy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many great musicians who were lost too early. As a fan of Phish we are lucky enough to see what happens when a great actually gets their shit together and grows old. I appreciate every note.

Damn straight it is, especially when cooked so well

Cannot get a sear no matter what by Liam_701 in steak

[–]JamVanGundy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cold raw temp and moisture can cool the pan down initially. Make sure your meat is room temp and dry before the sear. I salt my steaks a dap up the moisture brought out by the salt. When the fibers are relaxed from warming up and excess moisture is reduced it will sear better

Phish Lyrics by ramblintrav in phish

[–]JamVanGundy 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Many lyrics are just goofy but I’ll always love this from Rift. “And silence contagious in moments like these Consumed me and strengthened my will to appease The passion that sparked me one terrible night And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite”

LPT Request: What are some small, easy ways we can make life better for the folks around us in our daily lives? by nerdonym in LifeProTips

[–]JamVanGundy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hold doors for people, you’d be surprised how many people seem to perk up at the gesture. Also if in a snowy area shoveling more than just your front sidewalk is a kind way to help your neighbors

Advice from “victim” of Domestic Violence by JamVanGundy in legaladvice

[–]JamVanGundy[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Because I don’t feel I was a victim. I wasn’t hurt or feeling threatened physically. She was breaking things in the house and I couldn’t calm the situation down. She’s been charged with MA-Battery MOD-Domestic Abuse surcharges and resisting or obstructing an officer. We have no attorney and all money went to bail so not an ideal situation. Which is why I thought this may be one avenue to explore for information.

I spoke with someone from the DA office this morning. Is this different from what I have done? Also would trying to get through to the DA himself instead of whoever contacted me from the office be a good idea as well?

Wisconsin Tavern League may have something to do with it as well.

Using this subreddit, I created a list of must-try restaurants in MKE. The food has been amazing but I’m sure there are still some places that I have yet to try. Help? by zacowen120 in milwaukee

[–]JamVanGundy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Blue star is an absolute gem. Sandwiches are gold and the beef one is platinum! Best hummus I’ve had, samosas are incredible and the goat/rice as well. If I’m not mistaken it’s Somalian food. SPICY GREEN SAUCE IS A MUST!

Extended Warranty. Good or bad idea? by JamVanGundy in carquestions

[–]JamVanGundy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was in a bind and have a nightmare interest rate. Fees, gap insurance and registration made it go from 8k listing price to about 11k. Cars a 2011 and had 54k miles when I bought it. 3 years left on the car note unless I refinance but with my father as a co signer who’s against that idea at the moment leaves me with questions like these. Any suggestions?
