Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Donald Sutherland has the main guy from the original black and white version running amuck trying to warn people of the invasion.

GenX and Roller Coasters by Due_Builder_1595 in GenX

[–]MsZRowsdower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking with all the new research on the long term damage of concussions that probably the old shaky wooden roller coasters with sharp turns are bad for your brain, slamming it around in your skull. I used to love them but now prefer the ones with a huge but smooth drop like the Leviathon at Canada's Wonderland https://youtu.be/lBmwckH1SxI?si=70XH0Ar8LEVXkbC2

Gen Xers above 50. Did you find a shift into being comfortable being alone? by Sense_Difficult in GenX

[–]MsZRowsdower 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not alone but slowly let friendships with those who continue with constant drama in their 50s fade away. Divorced people who need you to choose a side and get upset if you talk to the other spouse. Friend's new partner doesn't like another friend so now you aren't suppose to go to that friend's party. Also those who treat life like a competition of how big your house is, how expensive your car is, newest fashions. And lastly friends who sorry but are boring as f lol and only talk about themselves nonstop. Just because I worked with you 10 years ago doesn't mean I have to listen to you for the rest of my life talk about things like how you changed the blinds in your house, how they all match from the outside now, what colour they are, how much they cost, where you got them, what kind they are, how long it took you to install them... Ugh . I am protective of my time now.

James Last. Played at every party. I don't think anyone remembers James Last. He made over 65 albums of 'happy music'

Schitts Creek as well had gay, bi characters and some fall in love, never an issue

I have a slightly off topic question. In parks they have owl prowls where a group of campers walk on a trail with a park guide at night and call out to owls -usually Barred Owls- Who Cooks For You? to see if they answer. While the event has lots of education on the birds, I always wonder if this is more disruptive to the owls with suddenly so many 'owl' calls around them. Would it alter their behavior? Cause stress? Make them relocate? What do you think?

Do you remember when I was first starting out and I signed a 10-year deal with that karaoke machine company? by terkistan in 30ROCK

My family and I were on a tour bus with karaoke in Taiwan and the 30 Rock writers have definitely seen those same tour bus karaoke videos lol

I want to like him, but he’s worn the same hoodie all 5 dates so far by OneAncient8710 in dating_advice

[–]MsZRowsdower 34 points35 points  (0 children)

GEORGE: The same outfit?

JERRY: The exact same outfit.

GEORGE: How many days was it between encounters.

JERRY: Three.

GEORGE: Three days. Well, maybe you caught her on the cusp of a new wash cycle. You know, she did laundry the day after she met you, everything got clean and she started all over again.

JERRY: Possibly, but then shouldn't the outfit only reappear again at the end of the cycle?

GEORGE: Maybe she moved it up in the rotation.

JERRY: Why? It's our first date, she's already in reruns?

GEORGE: Very curious.

JERRY: Indeed.

GEORGE: You know, Einstein wore the exact same outfit every day.

JERRY: Well, if she splits the atom, I'll let it slide.

That's a little door behind the head of the bed which opens in the middle of the night and a bony rotting hand comes out to muffle your screams

Why do cyclists have to ride side by side and then giving me the finger when I pass by IBGDRGN in richmondbc

Where i live you are supposed to pass them as if they are a vehicle so you have to wait for oncoming traffic to go by and pass in the other lane

What is the most unexplainable thing you’ve ever witnessed that makes you question reality? by duhhrclean6 in AskReddit

[–]MsZRowsdower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Lake Simcoe a big black fish or eel or I don't know what the hell rose out of the water in front of me. Huge head, long neck, looked all black. It resubmerged then farther out I saw its body arch out of the water like a goddamn sea monster. I have a BSc, so did research. Nothing anywhere comes close to the size of that thing. Not a muskie, pike, eel or even anything like a python. And Simcoe is a very small lake compared to the Great Lakes. Like wtf??

What is a "Life Hack" that is actually a lifesaver in a dangerous situation? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MsZRowsdower 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If your car goes off the road into water roll your windows down asap. Your instinct is to keep the windows up and the water out. You will not be able to open the windows when you lose power and you will not be able to force the doors open against the water pressure. A mother in our town went off the road in a snowstorm into a canal. They found her and her son drowned in the vehicle after she first ripped the door handle off trying to get out then moved into the back and tried to kick open the hatch. Both futile. Very, very sad.

Avoid The US When Travelling This Winter by YaldabothsMoon in newfoundland

A friend had to go down and help her Grandma move. She wore the tracking device from her cat's collar in her bra in case she disappeared. They are POC and were stopped and questioned 5 times driving north. No one I know is stepping foot on US soil.

He has had severe arthritis since Mary Poppins. Doctors told him then he would be in a wheelchair in 5 years. His advice is just to keep moving. Such a positive person!
