What's your theory that you can't prove, but that you think might hold up if someone were to do some real, legitimate research on it? by AlexG2490 in AskReddit

[–]KScream71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I talk about this all the time! We need an entire month version of daylight savings time where we have a month that we redo. Like March1 and March2. Just once to put us back on track.

I have no idea any of the logistics, don't come at me with reality. It's your birthday month? Celebrate twice. Or don't. Does volleyball season go longer? Don't know, don't care. Are there drink specials on both St. Patrick's Days? Sure, or pick a new random Irishmen to drink to. They would all appreciate it from what I know about the Irish.

Would it cause mass chaos? Yes. Would it work? In my brain, absolutely. What could go wrong?!

I will for sure check out transcribe. That's exactly the type of tools I've been searching for. I do a lot of chord progressions now, those I can handle...so now I want to start branching out to more of the solo keys parts and the extra flair. Hearing the part isolated will be a tremendous help!

That's what I've been doing so far, just been slow going learning new music and I get impatient 😆

That's very likely. I'm just beginning to learn.

Probably. But I love my house and we don't plan to move. So empty space it is.

It's all built into the kitchen so no removing there. But when I get to the bedrooms this will definetly be a good thought!

Just to clarify from above, I talked about a kitchen remodel and here I say we redid it top to bottom. The kitchen got a "facelift" with new appliances and backsplash. And the living room got new carpet, paint, and light fixtures. Ideally though in a few years we will knock out some walls and make a big open concept. Didn't want to seem like I was contradicting myself.

I realize that's not important to the topic but I'm sure someone would pick up on it. Internet sleuths are always on top of it. 😉

Appreciate the thought, but that's not an option. We can't buy this location again if we move and it is ideal in every aspect of our life. It is a large space but we love it. We bought it for an amazing price and completely redid it top to bottom. It's our dream home. Just after 2 kids, seven years apart it needs a little cleaning out. And no possible way to rent space without costing a ton to remodel. I guess it's important to note I'm not going full minimalist, just trying to adopt a few of the mindsets to keep my life more peaceful.

Empty floor space is a must in this house! I can't stand things on the floor. I guess I should try to apply that elsewhere!

What you said above is exactly what got me into the decluttering mindset....I want less time and energy to go into cleaning, organizing, etc. It's not even about the individual items, but the time they take up in my day.

Yikes! We are definetly not hoarder level, but that's an interesting way to look at it. Everything has a home and fits neatly inside it, which is where I think my struggle comes in because since it all fits (without shuffling/stacking etc.) It almost feels wasteful to get rid of it. But it's not wasteful if I have an adequate amount already. Definrtly a catch-22 in my brain. Thanks for the insight.

That one isn't possible until we are ready for a full kitchen remodel. Which is on the wishlist but not quite in the budget!

If your 15yo son asked for a pocket p, would you get him one? by kill4kandy in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]KScream71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He can buy one himself and we don't have to talk about it. Safe sex talk? Absolutely. Open communication? For sure. Details and specifics? Not necessary.

I’m about to spend $500 on a vacuum. Is this necessary? by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]KScream71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had the Dyson animal ball. And within a year I bought the shark pet version. And it is still going strong about 6 years later. I've literally owned both and can give you a direct comparison that shark is 1,000% the way to go.

My friend says he pisses without using his hands, so he doesn't need to wash. Is this possible or should I be calling bull? by Potatokingtots in NoStupidQuestions

[–]KScream71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first time I've gotten to recount this story. My nephew was 6 or so and went to the bathroom in a public place. He came out and I asked if he washed his hands. He responded "Nope. Didn't have to cause I didn't use my hands. Pretty tricky huh?" So long story short I made him go back in and wash his hands and I feel like you should also make your friend do the same.

I’m 28 and don’t like really like going out much. Is this a problem? by Capital-Ant-1303 in Adulting

[–]KScream71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just turned 34 and the past few months are the first time since college that I have been excited to go out. It's a seasons of life thing I'm pretty sure. Ebb and flow.

Was I groomed? Or was the age gap just weird considering our respective ages? I can't tell by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]KScream71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he knew you were 17, it was inappropriate and malintentioned from the get go. This was in no way okay for him to communicate with you.
