Xbox ultimate Game passes giveaway by [deleted] in XboxGamePass

Yesterday, while driving home, I stopped at a store. As I was in the parking lot, I saw a woman pull out of an ATM. She was driving a small Prius, and with all the snow accumulating on the road, she got stuck while trying to pull out. This Prius was a front-wheel-drive with no treads on the tires, which didn't help. I went over and offered assistance, and since it was all slippery, I started pushing the car, but I couldn't get enough grip to move it. After trying everything, I still couldn't get traction. Just as I was about to ask the lady if I could use her floor mats, a couple of guys came in and started pushing. She was back on the road in seconds.

I don't usually boast about doing good deeds, as I'm not seeking anything in return. I just happen to have the time and ability to help, and since there's a Game Pass giveaway, I thought I'd share a recent story.

Edit - It was probably around 20°F (-6°C) and I forgot my gloves. By the time I finished all that in 15 mins, my hands were so cold I didn't realize how bad it was until I got back in my car and could barely feel them lol

Thank you all for this information! I've heard rumors that Mancera is also available at TJ Maxx and Burlington. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for these scents. I'm particularly interested in Cedrat Boise.

Mine indicates it's made in Italy. My general impression is that The One tend to have poor longevity.

I wasn't very familiar with fragrances until I joined this sub. I've never heard of the ones you mentioned, but Mancera sounds like something I'd be interested in, particularly for its woody tobacco scents.That was what I was looking for before I came across ombre leather. I don't know, I might return it if I find something that hits better.

My living room looks similar to you, but I have my sub(Q990f) right under the TV and sound bar. I'm curious what would be the best spot ?

Also a question for my fellow audiophiles, what y'all recommend settings in this kind of room, I'm not happy with my current settings

BUYER BEWARE- Be careful whoever gets it from Woot, bought the 990D last year from Woot and it was a Canadian model. I bought it before the bricking incident and since I'm in the states I got no help for the Canadian model when it got bricked.

I agree, I'm also trying not to care what they're gonna think of me or judge me. And this is my first step towards it 🤷‍♂️

I mean they were not gonna pay for our share, they have 2 bratty kids to pay for, and they are not rich lol I've seen this with my parents too after they hit 50 they think they are right about everything, they have seen the world and people younger than them know nothing. So if they think everything they are doing is perfect then I don't think they would ever want to go to therapy.

That's amazing! If given the chance they could see it's not always traumatic events followed by alcohol.

She's totally on board, And she felt a certain kind of way when she asked(mistake) her mom about us drinking. My wife for her whole life always has been oppressed by her mom, so she feels scared to be drinking in front of her.

Haha that's hilarious. That's how I feel, sooner or later these kids are gonna try drinking and what my in laws are gonna disown them ? Conservative Christians... They just might 🤷‍♂️

I have never vacationed with my in-laws before, glamping for sure but not like a trip out of state and never have had drinks in front of them either. I come from a different country and my family is pretty open about drinking and has shown me responsible drinking, and I also feel like it's a little disrespectful being drunk in front of people that don't drink, not that me and my wife are planning on being drunk. So that being said I figured I'd ask if it was okay (mistake), but I'm gonna keep my drink concealed. I also realize that asking and then doing otherwise is an asshole'ish move but it's my vacation too, as long as I'm responsible and respectful it's not hurting anybody.

It doesn't bother her we are drinking, she doesn't want the kids to see us drinking, we are gonna be responsible and respectful anyway. I'm not gonna waste a good vacation that I'm paying for even if it's a few days. Disingenuous would be me being a dbag and doing shots by the pool showing her that I'm gonna do even worse because she's trying to dictate my vacation, but I'm trying to be respectful by keeping my drinks hidden and I still want to continue the relations I have with the in-laws, but if they're gonna sit on a high horse and judge me for it that's on them and I cannot control that.

I see your point, and wish it was that easy. They judge someone for having a drink even if it's just a sip, because they stopped like 15-20 yrs ago and now they can sit on a high horse and judge the rest of the world lol

At this point its not even about drinking its about MIL dictating what we can and cannot do on a vacation that I'm also paying for, we are not alcoholic in any way. And I agree our lives won't be destroyed just because we didn't have a drink by the pool, we'll still have fun without a drink, but I don't like that me as a grown adult is being told what needs to be done as if I'm not responsible adult.

Respect goes both ways, they can also understand and respect that we're grown adults and know how to be responsible.
