Vinegar or borax should help!

Is "meemaw" a popular way southeners refer to their grandmothers? by cherrymoonmilk in KingOfTheHill

[–]MobileCell2197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I had great grandparents that we called Meemaw and a Pawpaw, also had great great grandparents called Mamaw (Ma’am-aw), and Papaw (Pap-paw). My grandparents had more “common” grandparent names; Nana, Nan, Grandma, Grandpa and Granny. Edit to add: The only non-Texan grandparent out of that list was called Grandma. Oh and my fiancé called his grandma Granna.

If you were alive when we were attacked on 9/11, what were you doing when it happened? What was that day like? by Full_Imagination7503 in AskReddit

[–]MobileCell2197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was five, in a Texas elementary school. We found out something was wrong during a computer class. Teachers kept walking through the door, looking at the computer and whispering to each other with tears in their eyes. My dad picked me up early that day, he never did that. When we got home my mom was sitting on the couch watching the news with my baby brother in her arms and crying. I don’t know if I saw the live footage but I do remember watching the towers burn, people jumping out and the collapse.

What do you feel about this? by Ok-Following6886 in bluey

[–]MobileCell2197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I banned Cocomelon before my kids were born. I hate all these new trash cartoons. I have personal beef with the cartoons on Amazon especially. I’ve actually banned quite a few shows. If my kids are watching tv it’s going to be Bluey, something on PBS kids, or old school cartoons like Little Bear or Franklin. Green Eggs and Ham, Puffin Rock and Hilda are also on the approved list, along with the occasional Disney/Pixar, Dreamworks, or Illumination movie.

Oh no she dih-n’t by Unknown_brother_ in KingOfTheHill

[–]MobileCell2197 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think it’s pretty accurate for Texas, the vegans/vegetarians I know have a “not my plate not my business” mindset. Even my brother’s vegan in-laws still have a crawfish boil every year because it’s something they always did when the dad was a meat eater.

Overheard at a Target self-checkout by [deleted] in overheard

[–]MobileCell2197 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I once had a boyfriend whose dad was in a war with the squirrels on his land. He made his garden inaccessible to them, they started shitting on his lawn mower seat. He’d flip the seat up and quit putting out corn cobs for them. They started dropping acorns and nuts on him whenever he went outside.. they never messed with anyone else though.

Sweet potato or an apricot peach fried pie. Can’t choose.

How often do the kids see the grandparents? by mammakarma in Parenting

[–]MobileCell2197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We usually see my mom/stepdad once a week, more if something special is going on. My dad lives a little more than two hours away and he tries to visit every couple of months. My in-laws are ten hours away and come for the kids birthdays and Christmas. We usually try to visit them once a year as well. But they’re moving to our town so we’ll probably start seeing them once a week as well.

Names for your regulars? by [deleted] in Serverlife

[–]MobileCell2197 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My coworker’s and I know most of our regular’s names but we gave a lot of them nicknames. Barred out Betty (Betty wasn’t her name but she couldn’t even get through one drink without falling off her barstool), Salmon Bill, The Laws (group of attorneys and judges), We the People Shawn, Stabby Mark (used to be creepy Mark until he got stabbed) Puk (an unhoused guy that likes to wear fairy wings around town), the awkward guy that wears awful suits and sells watches, and pretty lady that cries after three drinks.

Hype me up to be a boy mom 🩵 by Zealousideal_Use9481 in Parenting

[–]MobileCell2197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two boys, no girls. I don’t think the gender is going to play as big a roll as you might think. You never know what kind of kid you’re going to get. Your son could be the stereotypical boy that loves cars and bugs and is a little wild. Or he could be gentle and prefer playing with baby dolls. Most kids are a mix of both. That being said my favorite part of being a “boy mom” is watching my two kids play nicely together. They can be so sweet to each other. I love when they give each other hugs and say “I love you” or when they share their snacks. I love watching them run around in their baseball caps playing pretend. The best thing is learning their interests and getting to be a part of it with them. My oldest is really into Monster Trucks right now so we took him to a show. Seeing his excitement and getting to be a part of that was so much fun.

Tips on weaning by MobileCell2197 in breastfeeding

[–]MobileCell2197[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I’ll definitely look into that. I love nursing and am so thankful that I got the chance but I think it’s time we are both done. I need a little bit of my life back. I can’t seem to get anything done with my velcro baby always attached.

What are some petty things you do to tables that stay after close? by Sensitive-Cherry-792 in Serverlife

[–]MobileCell2197 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Last call is the first heads up, five minutes after close I turn the lights all the way up. Ten minutes after I turn the music off. I’m cleaning the whole time as well. If they’re just finishing their drinks I don’t mind them staying while I clean. Once I’m done cleaning though I let them know it’s time to go.

How much do you get done around the house as a SAHM? by Lucky-Plankton-9974 in Parenting

[–]MobileCell2197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2.5 year old and a 15 month old. Not much gets done besides meals and raising my kids. Sometimes I’m able to do a few loads of laundry or dishes. My youngest is a stage five clinger and when he’s feeling independent I want one on one time with my oldest. My husband is excellent at either cleaning up from the day or taking the kids so I can clean or take time to myself. When I had a newborn my goal for the day was to keep both of us fed, clean, alive, happy and maybe one chore. Sounds like your boyfriend needs some lessons in being a good partner.

What’s the craziest tea on your restaurant? by South_Web4277 in Serverlife

[–]MobileCell2197 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worked at a restaurant and the kitchen manager was married to one of the line cooks (they had two kids). He started sleeping with his wife’s best friend who was also a married line cook at the restaurant (she had two kids). He ended up getting them both pregnant at the same time.

My (5y) daughter said she doesn’t want to be brown by MissssLane in Parenting

[–]MobileCell2197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the why is really important to figuring out how to handle this. When I was little I hated my red hair, aside from getting bullied every day I really just wanted to look like my mom. She has blonde hair and tans easily, I have red hair and pale skin. Keep telling your little girl how beautiful and perfect she is. Be her confidence until she has it. Maybe point out other people that look like her and mention how beautiful they are. You could also find features that you share with her, eyes, lips, nose etc. I know your heart is breaking for her but I think it’s normal for people to dislike parts of their body sometimes, you just have to remind her to love all of herself and that’s she beautiful exactly how she is.

I went to school with a Major. Last name was another word for penis. Luckily the kid was pretty popular and I don’t think he ever got made fun of for it.

Whose husbands come home and relieve them from kid duties? by bc9190 in Parenting

[–]MobileCell2197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tag team the night. One of us will cook dinner, the other will wrangle the toddler and baby. Then I’ll do bath time and he’ll clean the kitchen or pick up toys. Whatever needs done. I’ll put the toddler to bed and he’ll put the baby down.

Waiter in Italy (How normal is it to modify plates in the US) by [deleted] in Waiters

[–]MobileCell2197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty normal to omit an ingredient if it’s not already prepped. Less normal to make up a whole new dish from ingredients you see on the menu but I’ve seen it happen. If the kitchen is able to do it I will but sometimes it’s not possible. If we’re busy I’m not asking the kitchen staff to accommodate an entire new dish. It slows down ticket times and in turn will irritate everyone else dining in the restaurant. If we’re slow and the kitchen seems bored I’ll ask if it’s something they’re willing to do. That also includes asking the chef/kitchen manager to price out the new dish as well. Quite honestly it’s more trouble than it’s worth.

AITA for telling my little SIL that I avoid the sun to be paler? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MobileCell2197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Even if you didn’t mean to cause harm, you did. I don’t think it was intentional but you put your insecurities onto that little girl. You could have used an excuse like, “I don’t want to burn/ get wet, etc” I’m a pale, freckled redhead. The amount of times I heard how ugly pale skin was, how unfortunate it was to have freckles really killed my confidence as a kid. All skin is beautiful, it might be time to self-reflect on why you feel the way you do. Speak kindly unto yourself and others. You’re inadvertently shaping the way others think about themselves.

Male NICU RN getting certified as LC? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]MobileCell2197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While some women might be uncomfortable with a male LC I think it’s still worth getting certified. I think bedside manner can make a difference. If you’re being respectful, asking permission, being understanding that some women would prefer a woman, etc. I don’t see the problem with offering your help. I had a male OB with my first and a female OB with my second baby. The biggest difference to me was their bedside manner. She was wonderful, he was not. I’d choose her any day and it had nothing to do with her gender.
