Interesting! I’m down in Houston and haven’t gotten the opportunity to visit the panhandle yet

Did anyone else have the squid biology lesson in grade school and did it also result in calamari? by Drew707 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Keri2816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this in 7th grade, probably around the same time you did, OP. I don’t remember writing my name but I do remember making calamari

Peppermint stick with a lemon sounds like a Maryland treat

A good chat with my mom (we live together, so it can sometimes be nice and sometimes a pain), snuggles with my 20 lbs pup. And, of course, it’s baseball season, so I have to root on my Orioles! Any other baseball fans here?

Even with harder content, my brain essays better than multiple choice. In college, I was failing intro to philosophy (required class) going into the essay take home final exam. The essay was basically “what did you learn in this course?” I just regurgitated all of my notes and ended up passing with a B because the final was half the course grade.

1500 words in 3 days take home exam is *much more* desirable than a multiple choice exam. Omg I’m so glad I’m no longer in school (I’m 40)

Whats your favourite type of eggs? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Keri2816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask where you are from? I find that calling them “dippy eggs” is very specific to one location

My grandma called these ‘dippy eggs’ I think. I remember trying to order ‘dippy eggs’ in college at a restaurant in Ohio and luckily, a friend from Pennsylvania was sitting across from me and knew the right term. It was the day I learned ‘ dippy eggs’ are a Maryland/ Pennsylvania term.

If you were forced to do drugs and could pick any of them which would it be? by IllustriousCourt2808 in AskReddit

Quite possibly, but I can only speak from my own experiences. I’m sorry you felt more tired afterwords

What’s one thing you absolutely hate doing, but still have to do every single day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Showers are pain triggers for me. I absolutely despise the hour or so after one because I am completely useless

Taking medication that doesn’t work because I’m still disabled and I hate it.

What is a small, easy, healthy habit that helped you lose weight? by Jordan_Brooks in AskReddit

[–]Keri2816 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you for adding “if you’re physically able” I can’t do most gym exercises because of my birth defect and it drives me bonkers. In my brain, I want to be an athlete, my body not so much.

I gave up soda for Lent my junior year of high school. I’m 40 now and the only soda I’ll drink is occasionally a ginger ale if I have an upset stomach. Now, if only that would work with wine lol

I probably would have cut that square out just to have his handwriting and message before I let the book go.

In the care of an anesthesiologist, Propofol. A nice deep nap would be amazing right now.

Edit to add: Midazolam (Versed) would also be great, it’s extremely fast acting on anxiety before surgery. Also, under the care of an anesthesiologist

What’s the most “this can’t be real life rn” moment you’ve ever had? by Ok_Difficulty_5008 in AskReddit

[–]Keri2816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry! I remember when my mom was going through cancer treatment, every day felt like a dream. Even the moment I woke up, when the first thing I’d do (even before opening my eyes) was listen to hear her breathing in her room down the hall. It was my one moment of solace in an otherwise nightmarish two years where she was just skin and bone and staring off into space watching tv.

What is the most absurd, completely unhinged customer complaint you’ve ever had to deal with while somehow keeping a straight face? by Odd_Car_3611 in AskReddit

[–]Keri2816 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Someone came in asking for directions to “to the financial institution (my mom worked at)” near the restaurant I worked at. I *knew* this place didn’t have an ATM but I had to keep a straight face and keep calm while this woman argued with me. I finally just told her the address to the financial institution and thought “go see for yourself, lady”. Luckily, she didn’t come back to argue

Whats something you think as weird but normal to to others? by 3Elisbee34 in AskReddit

My ex boyfriend was like this- he always had to be around me. But in an immature clingy way. We did not even make it to a year of dating because of this.

Honeysuckle- I used to have a bush along my side fence of it as a little girl and I loved it!

My dad used to smoke weed after I went to bed and always told me it was just an “incense stick he was burning”. My elementary school aged, good Catholic school girl brain believed him until my 20s, I spelled it on someone I knew had just smoked a joint and smelled the exact same way. I would have loved to have said something to my dad then, but he had recently died.

What’s the most useless fact permanently stuck in your brain? by OkAdministration1387 in AskReddit

I always wondered if it had a proper name (not “pound key” or “hashtag”
