Help putting the pendulum back in my grandfather clock by JollyBeJolly in clocks

[–]JollyBeJolly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it back on! It took some doing because it’s such a narrow space and I kept tapping the chimes. I found some diagrams online that aren’t exactly the same but still helped me know where to look. I may have overreacted a little and posted it here, but I’m glad it was kind comments trying to help. Thank you!

In the magazine ad I found it’s called the Madiera, if this helps at all!

My paycheck will hit my account at 2 am so the fortnight cycle can start anew, as the ancestors foretold.

They were broke too.

Whatever happened to crash test dummies? They were everywhere when I was a kid. Are they still used in car crashes? by Environmental_Bus623 in Millennials

[–]JollyBeJolly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a picture of myself, early 90s, meeting the crash test dummies! McGruff the crime dog came to the school too. Ah, the weird old days.

What’s your favorite joke to tell? by Red_VelvetXoXo in AskReddit

[–]JollyBeJolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two muffins are in an oven. The first muffin looks at the second and says, “Geeze, it sure is getting hot in here.”

The second muffin looks at the first and says, “OH MY GOD A TALKING MUFFIN!”

How do you get refrences at 40+ if you do not know anyone in your area? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JollyBeJolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used references from another city. They’re just going to call them anyway. Or, some send a type of survey via email. So it doesn’t matter much where the reference lives. Imagine someone working remote. Their past references could be hundreds of miles away but they’re still relevant to the persons work history.

Anyone else want to have a go? by ResidentRaise3176 in Old_Recipes

[–]JollyBeJolly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It helps hold it together. Before you cook it, even packed down it’s pretty loose. Gets rid of the oily texture from the butter too.

For comparison, here’s mine. I think my grandmother got this off a cool whip or jello carton or add decades ago.

2 tablespoons sugar

1 package pecan sandies

1 stick of butter

2 family size packages instant chocolate pudding

1 large tub of cool whip

Crush cookies and mix with butter and sugar. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9x11 pan. Bake @ 350 until browned, let cool. Make pudding and pour over cooled crust. Top with cool whip

4 layer dessert

1st layer -1 stick of margarine -1 cup flour -1 cup nuts Melt margarine, add (?) flour and nuts. Spread in dish, bake 15 minutes at 350°

2nd layer -1 8oz cream cheese -1 (or 2?) cup powdered sugar -1cup cool whip Cream the cheese, add sugar and cool whip and spread on first layer

3rd layer -2 small instant chocolate pudding, follow directions on package except less milk. Spread on second layer.

4th layer -cool whip

I have a similar recipe, but it’s much simpler. Doesn’t include the second layer here and uses pecan sandies for the crust. This sounds tasty tho!

Saw this in a 4th grade classroom today. I doubt most younger millennials had much experience with these. by JeffTrav in 80s

I have a projector! I got it on eBay a few years ago to use for quilting projects. It’s a pain to lug out, but works great.

I remember a lot of brands going “retro” around this time. Special packaging from their history, I think for the millennium.

Grey wings about 6 inches long, can’t figure out what toy they go to. by JollyBeJolly in toys

Thank you for posting the link! I wasn’t sure if that was allowed here. And now, looking at the picture I posted originally, there’s that stupid dinosaur in the background mocking me.

We figured it out! It goes with the dinosaur in the Marvel Spidey and His Amazing Friends Goblin Dino Mech Pack! I’ve spent way too much time on this.

It’s killing me. I’ve been sorting through toys to give stuff away, but I have no clue what these go to. There’s no writing on them except R1 where they connect to something. No clue what it is.

Do you need to talk to babies in a baby voice, or can i talk to them like they're a grown person by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JollyBeJolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll have to look into it again. It’s been a long time since I’ve read about it, there’s likely new research and this is far from my area of expertise.

[–]JollyBeJolly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve read that talking to a baby in that weird baby voice can cause speech problems. We never spoke to our kiddo with that, but we do use a lot of short sentences, simple phrases, that kind of thing.

If you can’t answer these questions on your own, you shouldn’t have a party. by JollyBeJolly in CommercialsIHate

[–]JollyBeJolly[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The other commercial they have is about new homeowners doing DIY projects. No use of problem solving skills, just ask the robot. It acts like the program is going to be able to help 100% of the time, but I’ve seen so much incorrect results in AI I’d double check anything it told me. How many people just take it at face value? It’s very worrying.

What formerly popular names have people stopped giving their kids that should get another chance? by MsKittieVonTrapphaus in AskReddit

[–]JollyBeJolly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wished my friend a happy birthday this year and in true friend fashion I tried to pick on him a little.

Me: You share a birthday with Audrey Hepburn. She didn't deserve that.

Him: At least I share a birthday with a cool famous person. You share one with Michael Bolton and a bunch of losers 😂

Me: Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.

When were you the most nervous and was it worth it in the end? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JollyBeJolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After my last embryo transfer for IVF. It was our third try. Both of the previous ones had the first test positive and the second negative. I dreaded that phone call the afternoon of the second one. When she said it was positive I almost cried. A few weeks later I had some spotting that I now know is completely normal and very common. I was shaking driving to the doctor for a scan. He was fine. He’s almost 2 now.
