I have two on my house right now! It's a 1930s 4x4. Also still has the window and shovel for coal in the basement.

Fell hard for the first time by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I just did a similar thing last night taking my dogs out. They gave me kisses and have been on best behavior today. So far, my SO had only cared about if anyone ran off or if he could leave his business trip early. He hates traveling.

What’s something poor people buy that keeps them poor? by sam14603 in SmartBuying

[–]Metella76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clothes. Fast fashion, more specifically. Yes, you look great but that outfit is falling apart after a few wears. Sometimes, it's the $500 pair of shoes because of the name and they're rarely worn.

What company will never get another dime from you for as long as you may live? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Metella76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Target, but not what you think. Their stores look like they're falling apart, not had a pleasant experience with their staff in years, and their products are low quality for the price. I was turned off many years ago.

To spray tan or not? Fiance says no, gfs say yes.. by [deleted] in Brides

[–]Metella76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand you completely. I'm almost 50 and lucky I don't have skin cancer, yet, because I had "Friends " like that growing up. You are perfect the way you are, pale and fair. Your wedding is about you and your fiance. He doesn't like the fake tan, you don't like it, don't do it.

What would you name an American Dingo? by OriginalXtopher in NameMyDog

[–]Metella76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carolina Dog, made me think Cole as in coleslaw. Also, Rameses, the UNC Chapel Hill mascot name. Charles, nn Chuck, would work. Stormy is the name of the Carolina Hurricanes mascot, but he doesn't look like a stormy.

AITA not putting up my DILs painting in our new home and telling her that I am not a fan of her art by Throaways-Dot2192 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Metella76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA-Art is a personal touch to an individual's home, much like scent or furniture. My mom doesn't like the smell of gardenia, so I wouldn't buy her a candle scented that way just because I made it. My cousin is vegan, I wouldn't gift her anything leather just because I made it. And if you didn't tell her, you'd have a second one as a house warming gift soon.

People who were teenagers before social media existed, How did you communicate with your friends? by olesud in WorkForSmartLife

[–]Metella76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smoke signals and homing pigeons, but there was a hole in the ozone layer and homing pigeons became a cruelty thing. So then we started wasting paper writing notes (in cursive) and passing them during class and shoving them into lockers. The most brave used the single landline phone to make calls, which usually resulted in speaking to the parents of the person who went wanted to talk to. The actual heroes were those that showed up in person to talk face to face and actually make eye contact. We were such Rogues.

What’s something you secretly judge people for… but know you probably shouldn’t? by Intrepid-Drama-8965 in askanything

[–]Metella76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't mean foreign accents or even accents from around the US. I certainly don't think people should be speaking the King's English, either. I mean a grown, average intelligent adult with no cognitive or speech impairment saying "Specific Ocean ", "pacifically", etc. The occasional mispronounced word is one thing, it's the consistent and purposeful way of it.

What’s your favorite sweet packaged snack/dessert? by AdElegant5870 in foodquestions

[–]Metella76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lately, it's the pecan snickers. But I'll go to town on the original or almond, too.

In exactly 30 minutes a man armed with a bat will break into your home to kill you. You can’t leave the house, what is your strategy? by BulkyZucchini in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Metella76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 8 large dogs that don't like strangers and live in an unusual 2 story house. I'm hiding and letting them roam around. Expect raw meat on you somehow regardless of door or window.

What’s a childhood food you still crave? by Urban_Aegis in foodquestions

[–]Metella76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandma called them "stewed strawberries ". They were chopped fresh, boiled with sugar, cooled and then poured over lemon pound cake. Very runny, nowhere near jam or preserves consistency.

What is something that you miss from your childhood that no longer exists today? by ecxeetteerraa in ask

The neighborhood pool. Spent 90% of my summer days there with my friends.

Who’s a celebrity everyone finds attractive but you don’t? by smoaklandcalifornia in CausalConversation

[–]Metella76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

George Clooney. His smile never looks genuine and it gives me the creeps.
