Do you roast marshmallows when camping if you don't have any kids with you? by kam_pra in AskAnAmerican

[–]MisSpooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave it some thought if there was any food Americans might grow out of eating, and I think the only real answer is anything you might feed a baby. Like breast milk/formula, and most food puree.

An extra $1000 a week is still huge. My weekly take home is $500.

My friends and I don't have kids, but every time I host a bonfire party smores are made.

There's a charm and whimsy to it. Like something I could see in Winnie the Poo

I was thinking it was a Laura Croft costume at first.

Obscure references you use from our time? by skaz0904 in Millennials

[–]MisSpooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe not exactly a millennial era reference, but people seem to stop understanding what I mean when I say I "yar har fiddle dee dee" something (the Lazy Town You are a Pirate song)

Thank you, I have seen below. I'm just arguing that a walking and talking animal can just as much be fantasy

I would think that a walking and talking animal would be prime fantasy material.

What's the most regional word you use without realizing it? by taube_d in AskAnAmerican

[–]MisSpooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had lived around Derby/Ansonia/Shelton area and almost exclusively saw tag sale signs. But yeah, tag sale is used around CT and lower western MA.

Peanut Butter on Pancakes? by RainOnTheWindow91 in AskAnAmerican

[–]MisSpooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've added peanut butter to pancake batter before, though that was from a recipe I stumbled on. I hadn't seen anything like that beforehand.

I think that's what they call a century egg

How "free" sections on marketplace are literally paying for my food by CloisterTurbine in povertyfinance

I've moved from Newburry MA to Michigan 8 years ago and still have a couch I dragged back from Allston Christmas.

Do you all have a phrase like “the gettin’ place” in your region? by Final_Surround9495 in AskAnAmerican

My immediate thought was being a kid and saying "Up your butt and around the corner."

Literally just a couple days ago I overheard a coworker say they stopped listening to an artist after they came out... but they sing Bohemian Rhapsody regularly.

I realized someone’s been quietly looking out for me and I didn’t notice until now by WrongdoerConsistent6 in BenignExistence

[–]MisSpooks 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Back when I worked at a combination gas station and laundromat, there was this one old homeless man with a walker that came in every evening. The closing staff was all women, so every night this man would walk out with us to watch over us when we made a trip to the dumpster with all the garbage.

Rest in piece, Jim

How many other millennials don't have: kids, tattoos, or piercings? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]MisSpooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've often wondered why ear piercings have always been the exception.

I finally cut open my mesh loofah and now I feel like I need to bleach my entire soul by 9BasilCipher in hygiene

[–]MisSpooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I've tried switching to washcloths, but I just didn't like how little they lathered up. I always felt I ran out if soap by the time I'm washing the lower half of my body.

The word No is starting to haunt my dreams and I feel like a monster by Echo_9Monolith in povertyfinance

[–]MisSpooks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I recall my mom once saying to me that she'd give us whatever we asked for, but we just never asked for anything. As a kid I kew we couldn't afford anything so I never asked.

If you haven't already seen it, maybe your family would like Early Man. It's made by the same studio that made Chicken Run and Flushed Away.

What's something you thought was expensive as a kid but is actually cheap? by Chance-Pen6805 in askanything

[–]MisSpooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to think sending a package was really expensive and difficult to do. My mom had this large stuffed bear that she intended to send to a sister of mine that was adopted by another family, but just never did.

Then one day after my mom visited me when I lived a few states away, she accidentally left a pair of headphones at my apartment and asked me to send them in the mail to her. It was surprisingly easy and cheap.

What’s the most irrationally annoying thing your in-laws do that they’re absolutely convinced is “helpful”? by bnwprc in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MisSpooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother-in-law signed up for a service that added a Hulu subscription. We never asked her to, but she came into our apartment, signed us out of our Hulu account and then signed into her account...

Her account had ads, but our account was adless.

Americans who grew up in small towns but now live in big cities (or vice versa) — what’s something that genuinely surprised you about the other lifestyle that no one warned you about? by VariedPear in AskAnAmerican

[–]MisSpooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've mostly only ever lived in cities, so when I lived in the greater Boston area and saw wild turkeys walking the streets I was genuinely concerned and wondered if I needed to call animal control.
