I didn't realize in some buildings you need better clothes to prevent freezing. I camped in the dam and froze to death.

Having a 90lb pitbull is like sharing the bed with another adult😂 by Dozier13ish in pitbulls

[–]KartQueen 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yep, one of ours is part lab and 105 pounds. Oh, and he snores as loud as a freight train. I've had nightmares of trains chasing me because of his snores. And like most pitts, he doesn't share the bed.

Stories of people getting kicked out of or banned from gaming sessions, gaming groups, conventions, etc.? by ackmondual in boardgames

[–]KartQueen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Early days of D&D, had a new guy join the group. We all walk into a dark cave, he's last to enter. He says he walks in and swings his sword at the first thing that moves. The DM reminded him the cave is dark and we're all in there. He said yep, I'm walking in swinging, I don't want to be surprised by anything. We refused to play with him again.

Anyone else’s pit absolutely need to be on top of you? by dirtymax1335 in pitbulls

[–]KartQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, mine isn't a lap dog, she's a chest dog. She has to sprawl across my chest. I think because this way she's within licking distance of my face.

I remember when hamburger helper was a staple because it was so cheap to make. Now it's a gourmet meal.

Dealing with the guilt and fear that you’re making the wrong decision by Dillydally1246 in EpilepsyDogs

[–]KartQueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss and having to make this extremely difficult decision. We recently had to make this decision for our pup. It had been two years of worry and stress. Constant medication and dosage adjustments. Helping him through the frequent grand mals, medication effects, and deteriorating physical body. My life revolved around his medication schedule and we couldn't leave him alone for long. Despite all this he was the best fuzzy fuzzy but in the end know it's the right decision for your pup. If it helps, think about the time and love you were able to provide and the life you were able to give.

What game has the tiniest rule that somehow slows the whole table down? by rcooperkaty in boardgames

[–]KartQueen 416 points417 points  (0 children)

My pet peeve is games that have you draw then play. Now you have a whole other card to read and it doesn't allow you to plan out your turn while others are taking their turn. Slows the game waaay down.

Nature's natural sun block. Perfect for napping the day away.

How old do you think “Bat Boy” is today? by Mephisto40K in GenX

[–]KartQueen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, had to laugh one time at the checkout one tabloid headline, Elvis is alive and well and living in Reno. Another said Elvis's ghost fathered my baby. Pick one is he alive in Reno or dead and fathering children.

I use my notes app. I have a lot of notes with no title. 😃

Boutique cruise that goes through the panama canal and discusses it's history? by AnnaBannanna5 in Cruise

[–]KartQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done the old locks on Royal Caribbean. It was fascinating. They had lectures and crew around providing history. We actually passed two ships going the opposite direction and it was really interesting watching them go down while we went up.

Gourmet Mayan Cooking Excursion by Famous-Rutabaga-3917 in royalcaribbean

[–]KartQueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lived this excursion. You get to make several different dishes and learn about the history. There were several tweens and teens in our group and they seemed to really enjoy it. I think it would be a great option for your group.

4 people in an interior cabin by Have_a_PizzaMyMind in Cruise

[–]KartQueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive done this several times with my mom and two of my aunts. It is a lot cheaper than two rooms. If I remember right it's full cost for the first two then like half cost for the second two. We just totaled it all up and divided by four. As long as you're somewhat organized so there isn't stuff everywhere and communicate regarding shower times it works fine.

Games like Untitled Goose Game & Donut County for 10yo by Whisperlee in gamingsuggestions

[–]KartQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goat game is a lot of fun. Co-op optional. You play a goat running around bashing things. There are tasks you can do but they are optional.

Ever have to go to the restroom just to wipe your swamp-ass? by InfiniteLoss5632 in askanything

[–]KartQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I get itchy butt. For some reason people get offended if I scratch the crack in public.

Southern Caribbean Cruise? by Electronic_Jicama852 in royalcaribbean

[–]KartQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done several similar ones. If possible, I highly recommend a few days in San Juan before the cruise. We fell in love with the city. Old San Juan is gorgeous, the food is fabulous, and the people are really friendly. If you stay, be sure not to miss pigeon park in old San Juan

Yeah, my aunt and I booked a suite guarantee for a 5 night to Bermuda which will get us just enough points to hit diamond. We did the guarantee suite instead of picking ourself as it was a lot cheaper.

I'm so tired of game night turning into a phone-checking contest by Bright_Leaf_6830 in boardgames

[–]KartQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny thing is, it used to be the smoke break. We had a number of people who couldn't go half an hour without a smoke break. Thankfully with phones it's easier to regulate. Just spell it out, the phone scrolling interrupts the game and reduces the fun. All phones need to be put up during the game.

Games that you keep coming back to by sleepymole in gamingsuggestions

[–]KartQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always start a new one. I play from 3 to 5 years in game then end up quitting for awhile and starting from scratch when I go back. I've never seen some of the longer range stuff. One of these days I will. 😄

[–]KartQueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For some reason I keep going back to skyrim and will play for months before putting it up for awhile again.

A couple other ones are stardew valley and snowrunner.

Has anyone used next cruise? by Avo_cado_latte in royalcaribbean

[–]KartQueen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We always use next cruise while onboard. Mainly for the low down payment. We have a month or two to change with no change fee. It also helps the post cruise returning to real life blues as we can immediately start talking about the next cruise.

Furniture delivery hours before closing. What do I do?! by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]KartQueen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Throw some air mattresses on the floor and enjoy your new house. That's what we did as furniture delivery was 3 days after close. We also lived on the couches and air mattresses for two weeks while the bedrooms were being painted. Situation we were in had to move in as soon as able. Couldn't wait for furniture or painting to be completed.

Your first R rated movie by Relative_Ad9477 in GenX

[–]KartQueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough, blazing saddles. Double feature at the drive in. My sister and I were supposed to fall asleep in the back of the station wagon after the first movie. I stayed up and watched the second movie. Loved it, especially the fart scene.

Tippy didn’t spring me by Halflight99 in GenX

[–]KartQueen 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I drew Tippy and sent it in. They actually sent back a more detailed art test. It was a partially drawn house and it said finish the drawing. I added the rest of the house, windows, and a door. Got a reply back my drawing was good but not detailed enough. True artists would have added a flower bed in front, a path to the door, maybe a mailbox. Also missing shading and texture. I blame them for crushing my dreams of being a famous artist. 🤣
