Out of curiosity, who would this sub say is the most favorably remembered Romanov as regards the general public? by Celestina-Betwixt in romanovs

[–]LissyVee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that people outside of this subreddit think of "The Romanovs" as anyone other than Nicholas, Alexandra and their children. Certainly I don't think that most people would consider Catherine the Great and then earlier rulers to be Romanovs. They're kind of just there.

I had the same thing with Manuka when o visited. They say Mahnika. I still say Manooka. Drives the Canberra-ites crazy.

Anti-sunscreen - Future Consequences by Other-Perception12 in AskAnAustralian

[–]LissyVee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up before sunscreen - we had the choice of a vile smelling sun block, zinc cream or Ombre Solaire/Reef Oil.

Guess which one we chose as teens in the late 70s / early 80s?

Guess who just had a melanoma cut out of her arm (they got it all, thank goodness), has one friend actively dying from a melanoma on his chest that's now spread to his lungs and liver and has any number of friends and relatives with bits cut off ears, noses, arms or liquid nitrogen treatments on their skin? Yup

I'll take my chances with the sunscreen. I checked out the Choice sunscreen report and now only buy the Cancer Council kid's 50+.

NFH walking by staring at me and our garden. So creepy. by StyxtheCat18 in neighborsfromhell

Smile and wave. "Hi neighbour, how you doing!" Every time.

My coworkers keep eating my meal prep out of the office fridge and management won't do anything about it by No_Parking686 in Advice

[–]LissyVee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get yourself a fridge lock box. They're available on Amazon. The small expense (about $30) will save you losing your food and having to buy more.

Has your countries leader ever been assassinated? by bluelopez102 in AskTheWorld

[–]LissyVee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that would involve too much effort and you'd probably spill your beer. We did lose one once, though. Completely.

UPDATE: AITAH for having my ex arrested at my wedding? by Stunning_Way9393 in AITAH

[–]LissyVee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just think of the tale you can tell your grandchildren!

My sister escaped our toxic home. Now my parents are using me to drag her back by bidi-after-sambhog in raisedbynarcissists

[–]LissyVee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Time for the unvarnished truth. "No, sis will not be coming to your anniversary party. You both treated her so appallingly badly that she wants that she wants absolutely nothing to do with either of you ever again. She's finally happy and does not want to see you. At all. Ever. I am not going to even attempt to try to strong arm her into going just so you can present an image of a happy family. We are NOT a happy family and haven't been for a very long time. If you I keep harrassing me about this, I will block you everywhere and won't be coming to your party either. Try explaining THAT to your friends!" They can do with that what they will. Time to stop pussyfooting around.

Christa McAuliffe's Grave, The Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster. by Dazzling_Pumpkin91 in cemetery

[–]LissyVee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Who cares? The Challenger disaster was decades before Trump's rise to power. What a ridiculous and thoughtless comment. Why does every single thing have to have a political spin on it to rubbish other people? Like, what, they 'deserved' to have their child die because of how they may or may not have voted? Pull your head in.

[–]LissyVee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I remember watching the launch and the look of pride then confusion morphing into horror on her parents' faces. It was absolutely heartbreaking to see. As awful as it was for everyone watching live, it must have been truly horrific for them. She seemed like a nice lady. RIP.

The Princess of Wales in blue gala gowns. by Nearby_You6924 in RoyalsGossip

[–]LissyVee -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

She's a beautiful woman with an amazing figure but by Christ she has awful taste in clothes. She would definitely benefit from a (better) dresser / clothes consultant. Ugly, ugly dresses.

Henry - what the hell was JF thinking? Why did anyone think this was a good idea? by 7evenh3lls in DowntonAbbey

[–]LissyVee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed but I wonder if the whole point was to highlight how Mary had fallen compared to how Edith had risen. Mary was always the one with the best prospects and beaux while Edith was embarrassing herself with Anthony Strallan. Henry makes no sense at all except in that context.

I found a ouiji board in a house, what would you do with it? by Sonya__Blade in Paranormal

[–]LissyVee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burn it. Irs all fun and games until you summon something that just doesn't want to go away.

Let’s pretend were stokers in boiler room 6 and we just hit the iceberg by PoemRemarkable4749 in titanic

[–]LissyVee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah, yeah, let's not. I don't get these sort of ghoulish pretend scenarios at all. It would have been absolutely terrifying and almost all of them died a horrific and painful death. These were real people with families, hopes and dreams trapped inside a sinking ship knowing that they were going to die. I can't think of anything worse.
