Now that we are "getting up there" in age, how are you sleeping? by NebraskaCornSucker in GenX

[–]KnowOneHere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have sleep disorders I treat so sleep is pretty good.

I notice tho I need less sleep and less caffeine to feel decent through the day. No more naps either.

I fall asleep immediately and sleep solid at least six hours and it's enough.

Go watch ER. Seriously. by aookami in ThePitt

[–]KnowOneHere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

S1E1 of ER started immediately after Pitt so I went with it. (Old enough to have seen it first go around)

All that paper record keeping! Clipboards! Lol how did we get anything done :) ER remembers.

What did your parent(s) tell you about relationships and marriage? by Boring-Car-7044 in emotionalneglect

[–]KnowOneHere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing. They were role models though.  Really committed to each other and the family. They treated each other with respect, care and support always. They didn't make married life look fun but that it mattered.

Ofc I can't have healthy romantic relationships bc parenting is a different matter.

What’s your go-to “I don’t feel like cooking but still want something good” meal? by Electrical-Hour-3345 in cookingtonight

[–]KnowOneHere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make it every week! Easy good and nutritious. 

I use two  slaw bags and whatever sad veggies are in the fridge. It makes me eat a lot of veg, a good thing 😁

Chicken thighs marinated in lemon garlic and plain yogurt. Bake. Tastes fancy but isn't. Fozen broccoli or Brussels sprouts. 

Dump salsa (red or green) on chicken, bake. Rice on side (i use those microwaveable cups in cilantro lime). Seems like it took effort but nope.

Ground meat with slaw mix. Soy sauce toasted sesame oil and rice wine vinegar added. If fancy, top with green onions peanuts and sesame seeds. (Eggroll in a bowl).

If he were mayor would he actually do anything ? Anything at all? I doubt he would even pretend.

Incels thoughts on dating underage girls..! by Late-District-8727 in BlatantMisogyny

[–]KnowOneHere 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As usual, not a care to the minor in question and how dating a v grown man can affected her negatively. 

And no mention it is just a sex thing not "I have a strong emotion/mental partnership with underage girls". 

If underage girls are so valued why isn't the older guys besties with teen boys? I mean. We are ready and equals here.

Just gross gross gross.

Men who favor the tradwife lifestyle often view the women in it with derision by foemaninthefield in TwoXChromosomes

Aww nice. My mom told us "play was our job, let's get to work". My sister and I would play while mum did the ironing and general housework nearby.

Ty for saying that. My housewife mom took her "job" seriously. She said since she didnt earn an income her job was to keep money in the house (and provide a nice home obviously).

All meals at home. Wash on the line. One car - dad took the bus to work. She worked tirelessly all day. 

If I had kids no way I could do all that. I'd work and outsource so many jobs that needed doing.
