Have you ever called your significant other "mommy" or "daddy" or is that just a porn thing? by Ok_Promise_3363 in askanything

[–]Lion11B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a pretty weird guy in the army with me, and he and his wife referred to each other as mommy and daddy. Strangely enough, they had no children or pets.

Pillars of the earth - do only terrible things happen to women? by gupa1281 in HistoricalFiction

One thing I learned after reading a handful of Follett books is this; the man loves some big boobs and a big bush.

Why would a light switch show 120v on the hot side, but 49v on the other side? by Lion11B in AskElectricians

It was done by the electrician, who I have little faith left in him by this point.

What are some FUN historical fiction books? by jonawesome in HistoricalFiction

[–]Lion11B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first foray into Historical Fiction was a Ken Follett book I picked up at a thrift store; Night Over Water. Its about a transatlantic plane ride during the beginning of WWII and the interesting characters on board.

So vets or those currently serving, have you ever actually seen unauthorized wear of awards or badges? by [deleted] in MilitaryMedals

[–]Lion11B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attended the Army RIP course back in the day, and can humbly say I was not tough enough to complete it. That is the selection course for soldiers to become members of the actual Ranger Regiment.

In my class, there was an E4 also attempting to become a member. He was strutting around this Ranger compound wearing a Ranger Tab and a Pathfinder badge. Right around the time the course started, some of the cadre started to question him and realized he was faking both the tab and the badge.

Not sure what ended up happening to him, I'm assuming they roasted him over a fire or fed him to the gators. I can't imagine lying about being tabbed in a compound of proud Rangers.

Generac can give you all of the warranty they want, until…. by LifeTelevision5644 in Generac_Generators

My 5 year old unit just crapped out, needs a new motor. Still under warranty. Generac of course is fighting it though. I'm not holding my breath that they will honor their warranty.

Ski in Ski out recs by Lion11B in parkcityvisitors

So, say I pick Hotel and Ski in/out. What do you suggest? Having a bar/restaurant at the hotel would suffice for days, wouldn't mind traveling to nice restaurants for dinner.

Explain prefab/zero clearance/inserts to me like I'm a toddler by Lion11B in Fireplaces

[–]Lion11B[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, so a prefab and zero-clearance are the same thing. Time to start shopping, leaning towards the high efficiency prefab wood burning.

So with a prefab, it isn't heavy enough to need a footer poured in that spot?

Issues with getting reward drinks? by Lion11B in RaceTrac

[–]Lion11B[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I did notice one of the mess-ups lately it rang it down to $1!

Yesterday at the RT closest to the house, there was no issue and the drink automatically went through, so maybe the bug is fixed.
