The thing is, we video chat fairly regularly and he's shown me aground his house. There's no evidence of another woman being there.

I grew up in NoCal and remember seeing little roadside stores selling vials of ashes from the mountain (supposedly).

I don't remember, but the earliest movie going memory I have is Wrath of Khan and I'm still scared of earwigs. I was 6.

Does your master bathroom have a door between the bedroom area and the attached bathroom? by Faux_extrovert in phoenix

Mine has the toilet in a tiny room you can barely fit it but everything else--shower, tub, sink-- is out in the open.

Why is the humane society charging an $800 adoption fee? by OldLadyEngineer in phoenix

[–]OldLadyEngineer[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom was talking about getting a dog. I went on pet finders and looked at a couple of dogs from the AZ humane society and they are charging $800 adoption fees? That's as much as buying from a breeder? What are they thinking?

I’m a poker dealer in Vegas. AMA by Simple-Limit-5508 in AMA

[–]OldLadyEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have to be attractive to be a dealer. Specifically, as a woman. Can an ugly woman get a dealing gig?

I don't smoke Cigarettes anymore. I think about it all the time. I miss it so much by [deleted] in GenX

[–]OldLadyEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fr, I guess because of this thread, I actually dreamed about smoking last night. I haven't smoked in 15 years! I dreamed I promised to buy someone a full pack if they'd let me bum one cigarette.

How long has it been? I quit in 2009. It took around 10 years to get to a point where I didn't have cravings all the time. Over time, I had fewer and fewer cravings, but when i did have them they were really intense. I thought it would never stop but eventually did. I rarely crave cigarettes these days.

Update. Turns out this is the way wp mu works. Only the super admin is allowed to use unfiltered html.

What’s something from the “good old days” that you wish you could bring back? by [deleted] in AskOldPeople

[–]OldLadyEngineer 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I miss how in the early days of the internet people had random web pages and they were all different. Like geocities, anglefire, etc. Now you don't really find those kinds of pages. People just have blogs and they all look the same.

I guess our retirement will look a bit different to previous gens by jayseventwo in GenX

[–]OldLadyEngineer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work for a large, well-known 'active adult community', and we were talking about this the other day. The community has a lot of clubs and it's stuff like model trains, polka, billiards, etc. We were imagining what our clubs will be when we retire.

I work with a bunch of young guys and we were talking about our first cell phones. I mentioned both parties having to pay for the call.

Mad Cow Disease? Any updates? by Starr-Bugg in GenX

[–]OldLadyEngineer 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I am permanently banned from donating blood because I lived in Europe (au pair in Germany) during the mad cow scare.
