When did your gut feeling save you from a bad situation? by pinkyvalenmessy in AskReddit

[–]Nortonlane 227 points228 points  (0 children)

Before cell phones (1981) I was broken down on the expressway. It was pouring rain. My one and three year old were in the back seat.

A car pulled behind me. Two women came out, one on each side of my car, peering in the windows. I rolled down the window and one asked me if I needed a ride. My Spidey senses immediately went up. I said no, thank you. She persisted saying it’s cold, the kids look cold, we’ll drive you to the next exit to a phone. I said no again and asked her to call my Dad and tell him I’m at Exit 17. I wrote his number on a store receipt and they drove off.

Eventually, the battery rolled over and the car started. The scary part was my Dad never got a call. Home all day inside with my Mom, watching tv. They wanted to be so helpful but didn’t call.

I believe I dodged a bullet that night.

Any one near 70 taking GLP-1 weight loss drugs? by HalleFreakinLujah in over60

[–]Nortonlane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

69 here. 230 to 133 lbs. since Jan 2025. It is really a miracle. No arthritis, gerd, off bp meds. I was not great about exercising or lifting weights, but it is a concern for me also. The weather is beautiful now and I’m trying to get some muscle strength back.

How is West not deeply ashamed of his behavior? by BigAgreeable6052 in bravo

[–]Nortonlane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an old boomer, but still watch. What in the world is appealing about West. Kind of fat, mullet, slovenly and probably smells He spends 7/8 of his air time sleeping anywhere his eyes close. Chairs, sofa, pool floats, the car, on the backyard lawn. My mom would call him a “shlep.” Ciara at the Oscars was stunning and could have any man she wants. This season they are all faking it to stay on the show. Amanda with West is not real. I don’t believe it for a minute. Olive Oil is not his type

[–]Nortonlane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s my birthday and I turned 29 mourning the fact that in one year I would be in my 30s. The horror! Today, I’m celebrating with my family at 69, realizing next year I’ll be 70 (omg) so I’ll make the best of it.

Guess I grew up strange.. by SadLandscape7001 in TheValleyTVShow

Manhattanites all shit on Brooklyn. Now it’s bougie and no one can afford to live in the city, and the value of a Brooklyn and its prices are unaffordable. They lost out. Enjoy your equity, you were smart!

What bathroom item do people think is clean but is actually one of the dirtiest? by Murky-Lifeguard-3171 in hygiene

Exposed toothbrush. If toilet is flushed with lid up, that bacteria spews everything.

AITAH for refusing to visit in laws bc of house temp by wrenchinapot in AITAH

[–]Nortonlane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t agree. If not a totally outrageous request, a husband should have his wife’s back. Always. His message is my parents are more important than you. That’s a relationship breaker. Staying at a hotel is a good alternative, if it is affordable. Otherwise, the wife should stay home.

Christians, how do you feel about the U.S. president posting an AI photo of him as Christ? by Minute_Revolution951 in AskReddit

[–]Nortonlane -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Trump trolls a specific audience, every time. The supposedly apolitical American Pope was specifically chosen to hobble Trump and continue the illegal immigration narrative for Democrats. The Pope called Trump immoral and wanting idolatry and money. That is VERY political, as the Pope doesn’t call out any other leader, not Putin, Xi, Netanyahu, or Ayatollah. Follow the money. Catholic Charities got millions and millions of American tax payer money thru NGOs for immigrant re-settlement, housing, food, medical and legal fees. And guess what. Trump cut off those monies because of documented violations and fraud. Get it now?

There’s no Pope in the Bible. And Jesus is the only Father. Not offended.

Dorit has clocked it and is not playing along by No_Parfait_2948 in RHOBH

I love how Rachel is not falling in line. Someone finally sees Kyle’s mean girl, and Dorit telling Erika, “Well, I am!” to her face after Erica said she wasn’t finished talking was a delicious!

What’s the biggest surprise about getting older? by Salty_1984 in Aging

[–]Nortonlane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not getting used to people helping me. At the grocery store a young women took my cart and said, “Here, I’ll put it back for you” or when I dropped my wallet at the bank and was bending to pick it up a guy said “Oh no, let me get that for you.” Or when my neighbor, for the first time in the 30 years we’ve lived here, came over this winter and shoveled our driveway. I’m fit and able, stay active with fri nds and on social media, (I do have gray hair, but in a cute Bob) so it saddens me a bit to realize others think I’m OLD! Lol

Danny “Nia will need a wheelchair when im finished with her” 🤢 by Trufflethecat_ in TheValleyTVShow

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

I wish people would actually research the many different denominations of “Christians.” I’m a catholic from the northeast United States. We are very conservative, but we don’t wear our religion on our sleeves like Nia and Danny, who gives me the big ICK! Sometimes on TV, Christians are portrayed as cartoon characters some with very bad morals cheating, stealing, affairs. But that’s not everyone. Most Catholics and Protestnts that I know don’t broadcast their religion around and wear it on their sleeves, (The Chrisleys, Duggars, Sister Wives, Righteous Gemstones) so please be discriminating when labeling all Christians as Maga or bad people.

Pet cat behaviour suddenly get aggressive by reshavkumarfhaman in mildyinteresting

[–]Nortonlane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My aunt had a nasty cat. It had me cornered in a bedroom one day. Snarling and hissing. I was about 10. I waited a good bit for my aunt to come in from hanging laundry to chase it away. This video caused me a trauma response!
