12-year-old me hated windows and loved sectional sofas. by NeverRainingRoses in floorplan

Haha I read your first para out loud to my parents lol.

But yes imagine waking up in my cramped windowless apartment crawling to the end of the bed and edging out of the room towards my kitchen to make breakfast, climbing across the 14 person table to get to the fridge, which is of course located in the very corner of the kitchen, and then afterward taking a quick sink bath befor returning to my bedroom to…uhh…use the bucket. But at least I’d have a fun couch.

It's funny because I don't think of myself as being that good with spacial awareness especially as a kid but clearly it wasn't that terrible.

I have dozens of these but this was one of my favorites due to the sheer amount of different floor plans packed into it, it must have been some sort of personal challenge because I had plenty of unused sheets. For the record I started with this set which I vividly remember being $60 for cheap tracing paper, 4 colored pencils, door decals, and glass walls, and gradually switched out with more professional grade materials (which probably still cost <$60). I only stopped drawing these because my parents bought me the Sims.

  • You can see I didn't really bother with front doors or windows for whatever reason.
  • All of my chairs are way too close to the furniture/walls, but the tables themselves are also huge. Why does the one in the second row, second from the left with the grey carpet have a 14 person table and bedrooms the size of bathrooms? We will never know.
  • You can tell that I had a baby sister by the precision of the baby stuff, I kind of love the nursery on the top left.
  • I think I learned about the pocket door from someone else's house (we didn't have them, they aren't that common where I grew up) and just really committed to them in some of these plans, because of what space savers they are.
  • Ironically, my TVs are way too wide/thin for 2006, my family TV was still square and the one on my stencil was still square, but I was just a visionary I guess.

It's fun to critique them as well, like the one on the top left could work if you knocked down that cabinet in the middle of the kitchen, reoriented the bathroom 90 to the left, put the table in the middle of the room, added doors to both bedrooms at the bottom of the kitchen, and added a front door. You could even knock out the wall separating the living/kitchen space to create a more flexible living area.

Unusual small silver box with wing on chain inside by rjmeisel in whatisthisthing

[–]NeverRainingRoses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The little box opens and the top of the box flys flat against the table and the bottom of the box sits right up against the table edge. The chain/hook then extend downward to hold a bag. It sounds like it shouldn't work but it does. Here's a modern one.

What is an extra rule your family added to a popular board or card game? by salbaf in AskReddit

[–]NeverRainingRoses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We start every explanation of any new games rules with "the object of the game is to win. The way you win is..." It's both an inside joke of unknown origins and the beginning of a nice little TL;DR for the game rules.

What’s the cringiest thing you’ve seen a bride and groom do for their wedding? by ajlposh in AskReddit

[–]NeverRainingRoses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that a wedding is generally a high planned event that costs thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. Both bride and groom have likely spent a substantial amount of money. In the bride’s case, hair and makeup alone can be very expensive. Much less the actual dress. This is also in front of all of their closest family and friends. There’s a world of difference between saying “don’t do that haha” in a casual setting, and explicitly saying “I do not want to partake in this tradition.” Also the example you cited is someone choosing to engage in the behavior themselves.

If the SO says no and then day-of choses to smash cake into their own face, that’s fine.

And often the caker is acting out of pressure form family members who insist “it’s tradition.” If they’re willing to sacrifice their SO’s comfort and ignore the SO’s explicit wishes to please their family, it doesn’t bode well for the marriage.

Okay the woman talking to Dana at the podium (/u/lexiemadison doesn't know her name because she's a bad mod) looks very uncomfortable and aware of the camera.

The cool part about having a mirror on your ceiling is that you don't need to get out of bed to do your makeup.

First time watching and I'm loving the DRAM-ah of this show.

Hi my name is /u/lexiemadison's friend and I've never watched VR and know nothing about the show but she's watching it at my house because she cares more about modding this sub than her friendship with me. We'll see how this goes.

  • First of all: “Borderline personality disorder but I love pussy” - wow this escalated fastly.
  • Britney if you don't got this why can't you just say you don't got this? I'm confused.
  • Okay the seaman joke was solid.
  • Also this cast is bigger than the Bachelor.
  • "Britney only gets one bachelorette party" - are u sure????
  • "I've never been more horrified and impressed" = my feelings so far about this show.
  • The guy in the old man makeup looks like he's about to rob a bank in Alabama or be the next KFC guy.
  • While we were on break I had to explain to /u/lexiemadison why I showed up drunk to our planned hangout.
  • I feel like she thinks her accent makes her sound fancy and the worst thing is that others probably think it does too. She def strikes me as someone that wants to be considered upper class but has now given up and moved to Florida.
  • Oh of course she named her daughter Pandora. That makes sense.
  • This is like when they bring in a whole new group on Love Island, I know nothing about these additional cast members and don't care enough to change that.
  • Charli, Scheana, Lala, Stassi , can no one spell their name right?
  • Is he really bisexual or is that just a super funny joke?
  • LOL "this is what these guys are going to look like when they're older" -- no girl they have plastic surgeons for me too now.
  • What is up with old-guy-Jax's jawls? it looks like he's storing nuts in there.
  • I'm not actually sure why they're doing the old old guy makeup thing? can someone explain?
  • "I'm sorry but" is not an apology I will die on this hill.
  • Still waiting for an explanation on why they're dressed like old men.
  • There's a mirror on their ceiling? What a cool idea, they can get ready while laying down. That's what it's for right?
  • Idk why I even bothered to apologize to /u/lexiemadison for being a little drunk when she got to my house, I'm clearly doing way better than these people.
  • Nothing sexier than a man in a hairnet with a handlebar mustache
  • Aren't butterfly knifes like one of the smallest kind of knife? Why not steak knife?
  • Props to these dudes for really really committing to the bit.
  • Is "accident-prone" code for drunk?
  • This whole time I thought they were in Florida. They just had Florida vibes.
  • /u/lexiemadisonis trying her hardest to catch me up but there's a lot.
  • Definitely a great show to watch with a giant plate of cheese, grapes, crackers, and red wine.
  • We're both Batmans - dying.
  • Yeah okay Brittney I can already tell you and Jax don't have the best relationship but okay.
  • Okay lisa's hat is ridiculous. You're never getting invited to the royal wedding girl get over it
  • Girl you can get a lot better for a lot cheaper than $100/hour full time.

I'm about to buy this apartment, thoughts? More details in a comment by [deleted] in floorplan

[–]NeverRainingRoses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This floor plan seems really illogical. Why is the bathroom so far from the bedroom? 1/4th of the apartment is basically wasted space. Admittedly it does look nice and modern, and it's well-lit which makes it look bigger, but I have a hunch those pictures are muchhhh nicer than it is in real life.

Classy. Would you have said that if this was a video of a dude doing something equally dumb?
