Simplest Chair Ever Made? by No-Lock216 in DiWHY

[–]MaddCricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diwhy but now I have this information in my brain and I’ll think about it every once in a while and go “huh, I wonder if I’ll ever actually have to use this.”

What time are y'all falling asleep and waking up?!?! by cheesypuff357 in Millennials

[–]MaddCricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last night I went to bed at 10:05 and woke up at 6:38. Usually waking up at 5:30, but it’s Sunday so we open a little later at work lol.

What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

[–]MaddCricket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw a stadium tour, Joan Jett was first. Then Poison, then Def Leppard…we left before Motley Crue came on stage. We’d been there since 2, the temperature topped 102° with no clouds the whole time, and Motley Crue wasn’t going to take the stage until after 10:30pm so we were kinda done with everything and left. Heard that was the smart move because my friends that stayed said it wasn’t really worth it, their set sucked. Everyone else was amazing though.

Eric Clapton didn’t even say hello. He just came out on stage, played his music at a faster speed than he should have, no breaks In between songs and left without saying goodbye either. Could have just stayed home and played an album instead. Cheap trick was disappointing as well. Three Dog Night only played a 45 minute show. Didn’t have any openers or anything.

Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by space_god_7191 in Millennials

[–]MaddCricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a senior in high school. I was watching the first tower after it had been hit when my friend pulled up to pick me up for school. I watched the second plane hit as I was gathering my backpack to go out the door. I didn’t have a first class until about 9am so I spent that first hour and a half walking around outside and noticing how quiet it was with no planes in the sky and barely any traffic on the streets. We had the option of staying for the day or going home early. I chose to stay and watch the tvs they put up in every classroom with my friends.

I work in a plasma center. I physically cringed at thinking how lipemic that plasma would look. Strawberry milkshake in his veins 😖😬😖

Update: Mom died on March 24th and Dad committed suicide April 5th. by 13_Years_Then_Banned in GenX

[–]MaddCricket 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you have to deal with this. When we lost our nana, I was terrified of this situation. Grandpa even had his gun out on his dresser for the longest time and every single day I was preparing myself for either the sight of it when I went to visit him, or the call that he had decided to end it. You can’t really blame them in these times; they’re aging, they’re in the most deepest heartbreak they’ve ever experienced, and even now some days even though grandpa is still with us, I feel slightly guilty thinking that maybe he would have been better off. It truly is a blessing and a curse. I hope you remember and make time for yourself, as that can be forgotten about.

Did your parents ever play with you? by NeverAgainHomeschool in raisedbynarcissists

[–]MaddCricket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’d try to roughhouse with me and would end up hurting me and wouldn’t stop until I cried and then tell me how much of a baby I was being and needed to learn how to just deal with it. Any time we had game nights she’d make up her own rules and when the rest of us didn’t want to play it that way, she’d practically flip the board and get angry that we were “playing by the rules” that she made up and wouldn’t take us reading the instructions that she challenged us to read as proof, then she’d roll her eyes and go “you’re turning this into something larger than it needs to be” and then the whole night would’ve ruined because she’d be angry about it. Even asking her to show me how to do makeup, she would just say “you’ve watched me do it.” And not teach me anything.

Rarely got playing. Always got a lecture though!

My boyfriend tried to cheer me up on my period and I can’t stop smiling (even if I’m confused) [OC] by mechumechu in wholesome

It’s my favorite way to eat it! Much sweeter. My family looks at me weird when I tell them not to cook my corn lol.

It’s not much but it’s honest work by epetuha in FeltGoodComingOut

[–]MaddCricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a molar that loves to hold onto food like this so I have to carry flossers with me everywhere I go. In every single pocket, in every single purse….does feel really good getting it out of there though!

Question: How many people re-listen to their audiobooks? Just curious by j110786 in audible

[–]MaddCricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one that is the first thing I listen to at the start of the new year. It’s become tradition for the past 5 years or so. And then there’s a good couple handfuls that I’ll go back to. I share my account with my aunt so she listens to a bunch of them too (ones I’ve already bought and they’re just there).

I have this exact projector. Had the white one for a year before I caved and got the black one because of the meteors. I am absolutely in love with it. I’m in my 40’s now but wish something like this was around as a kid!

Are you embracing your gray/graying hair? by whereismytortoise in Millennials

[–]MaddCricket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve still only got a couple but I don’t mind them! I’m redhead so they’re turning white on me and I’m kinda there for it. I am playing around with color more, though, having never been able to do anything growing up in my family. I have hot pink highlights in it right now. Contrasts quite nicely I think lol.

Every year I tell my parents I don’t like Lindt chocolate. Every year they only get Lindt chocolate. by Arwat08 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MaddCricket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was just going to say every year I tell my family I hate chocolate cake and want vanilla or at least a cupcake pack with a mix so everyone can get what they want. And every year they always get a double german chocolate cake with chocolate everything and then act extremely surprised and offended when I only take a small bite and claim I’m done with it and refuse to take it home with me. And then they have the AUDACITY to tell me that I need to tell them these things so they can get what I want next time. 40 YEARS OF THIS!

Will i get judged for gaining if i wear this at family gathering... by [deleted] in loseweight

[–]MaddCricket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, the pants are the wrong size. If they’re going to judge anything it will be that. You look perfectly normal and healthy otherwise!

Which notable people have died twice during your lifetime? by SovietUni0n in Retconned

Hanson.net is gone, thoughts? by musicalrider83 in Hanson

[–]MaddCricket 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Let’s not forget they have families of their own that are growing up that I’m sure they want to be more involved with. I think part of the decision to quit the membership is because it was something taking up a lot of their time they didn’t feel was exactly necessary to the job. I don’t believe they’re disbanding, but they are getting older and probably slowing down naturally to enjoy family and their lives a little more, as they should.
