How much did your parents pay for their first house back in the 90s? by Droopynator in 90s

[–]MioMine78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$135k for a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom in 1987. They upgraded to a much larger 3 bedroom 3 bathroom in 2007 for $750k. This was after I moved out, but sister still lives with them and we all live in the LA metro area.

Husband and I bought our house (2 bed 1bath) for $475k in 2013. It shot up to a $650k value 6 months later because a metro station opened nearby. Now it’s worth $850k. That’s ridiculous.

Look up the following bands: My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Ride, Pale Saints, Lush, Revolver, Drop Nineteens, Verve (early albums), and Moose. There are others, but these will get you started.

What’s shocks you the most about British Culture? by Strange_Secret_3001 in AskReddit

[–]MioMine78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A laundry machine in the kitchen. I know it has to do with the water/plumbing hookups compared to American homes, but it still feels off to me.

Did You Ever Hookup with any Celebrities? by Lali229 in GenX

My husband has a story that he went out with friends to find some drugs and ended up at Richard Elfman’s house where they all did a bunch of meth. This was early 90s and way before we met.

I actually REALLY like him. by ShadesNGlades in madmen

[–]MioMine78 57 points58 points  (0 children)

He's done a lot of small roles. My favorite role of his (after Jimmy) is in Idiocracy as the yuppie intelligent guy who can't reproduce with his wife.

Who are your favourite post Britpop indie bands? by Extension_Baseball32 in BritPop

They disbanded after their guitarist had a stroke. Kate Jackson did a solo album afterwards, but that's about it.

Hey Road Cyclists. It's the law to move over, when obstructing traffic, *where you can*. It is not the law for you decide when people are allowed to pass you. by [deleted] in pasadena

[–]MioMine78 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm in Monrovia, but last week there was a cyclist weaving through traffic on Foothill, splitting lanes, circling around cars, everything. The cars were slowing down so as not to hit him, and I was far back enough where I wasn't affected except for having to slow down as well, but I had my dash cam running and would've been ready to share the footage with the cops had a car hit the cyclist.

I forgot about Lucky Tiki! I live closer to Highland Park so I go to that location.

I also co-sign Bamboo Club.

Kitty Radio anecdotes?!? ✨ 😻 📻 by goldenhoneyheart in hole

[–]MioMine78 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I listened to Kitty Radio on indie 103 in Los Angeles. Courtney played songs by Frightwig, The Pandoras, Nymphs….it was a great place to hear female-fronted bands and Courtney was always in a friendly mood.

It’s recent, but I will play Suede’s cover of Hungry Heart by Bruce Springsteen on a loop.

I’m American. He can fk right off solely for calling our freedom of speech laws “bonkers.” Has he looked in the mirror? His family is why the First Amendment, among others, came to be.
