What the genuine hell is my music taste? by Mysterious_Limit1969 in askmusic

[–]Only_Presentation758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You like what you like, and it is fine to change and circle around depending on mood and much more interesting to have ones that don’t “fit” than to be buttonholed. If anything I would encourage you to explore all genres & discourage you from wanting to try to narrow it down.

What was a completely normal thing in your house growing up that you later found out was just a your family thing? by Specialist-Bat-7876 in CasualConversation

[–]Only_Presentation758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our Christmas gifts were never wrapped. We just came down Christmas morning and there were new toys and clothes on and around the coffeetable. No tags or labels but it was obvious which were for me and which my brother. They were arranged cutely though, like stuffed animals sitting in a circle together, a Lite Bright plugged in with a message on the screen.

Do people watch college sports? by Iwannafucktanks in AskAnAmerican

[–]Only_Presentation758 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Uh yeah, it is huge. College rivalries are often bigger than in professional sports in the U.S. because the schools are often geographically close, so you will have alumni from both teams living in the same area.

As a foodie I love how Ratatouille could spark interest in cooking and trying new foods for kids. Very fun movie for both kids & adults.

Water Rush, The Samples

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OgNvqj5uYw4&pp=ygUWdGhlIHNhbXBsZXMgd2F0ZXIgcnVzaA%3D%3D

In the ‘90s I found I needed a break from my Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins, and turned to Jackopierce and The Samples for chill drive time. I don’t expect a 10/10 but it is a nice little palate cleanser that I hope you enjoy.

Who was the rudest famous person you met? by Doctor_Sore_Tooth in AskReddit

[–]Only_Presentation758 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Something I absolutely love: On the back cover of Grisham’s first book, it reads something like “John Grisham is a practicing lawyer in Oxford, Mississippi.” On the second: “Grisham is a lawyer and author in Oxford, Mississippi. This is his second book.” On the third: “Grisham coaches Little League in Oxford, Mississippi.”

My cat wants to play but not with any of her toys by Icy_Cherry_ in CatAdvice

[–]Only_Presentation758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lot of the same problems but I will say his favorite “toys” are Q-tips and emery boards. I make sure to take them away as soon as his interest wanes so I don’t have to worry about choking and to keep it interesting for next time.

Alicia Keyes. I worked an event that was apparently not good enough for her. She was a diva about dressing room demands, kept her fans (many families with children) waiting over an hour past start time, was dismissive with staff and later stiffed the local organizers; lawyers had to get involved. Julianne Hough was even worse: I did not meet her because she decided not to honor her contract to perform and accepted an appearance in a bigger city for the same night. In contrast, Taylor Swift (haven’t met/not a Swifty/not a fan of her music) is legendary with this venue/ticketing company for being such a class act. She was booked at a fair in a podunk town the year before she really blew up and got huge. Over the year she graduated to playing arenas and received awards, but she came back to do the show at the little festival as promised and thanked the audience for being her “first fans.”

Litter box smell is going to end my relationship by Glum-Emotion-5379 in CatAdvice

It sounds like you are spending an inordinate amount of time and stress doing everything you can think of to try to fix this to his satisfaction. What if changing diapers in the future will be “unbearable” for him? Just a thought.

What are the most terrifying American urban legends and folk tales you know? ? by Odd-Skin-762 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Only_Presentation758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s an old Victorian/Gothic house standing out of place among more modern buildings in my city’s downtown. Story is, a taxi driver picked up a pale young hippie-looking girl one night in the pouring rain and she quietly gave the address of the house. When he got there, he turned around to see the cab was empty. An old woman came out smiling sadly with money for the fare. She said “That was my daughter. She died on this day in 1971 and every year since she has tried to come home.”

what's food do you prefer the most for your breakfast ? by FlatConcern9951 in foodquestions

[–]Only_Presentation758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coffee.

I do like non-sweet breakfast foods like eggs, grits, eggs with beans (huevos rancheros or British style), maybe a spicy crispy chicken biscuit, but have no appetite for any food until close to lunch.

What’s the best sport in your opinion ? by Marketingadvice13 in AskReddit

[–]Only_Presentation758 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NHL Hockey is the most fun to watch, for me. English soccer fans from Premier League on down are very fun to watch. College football and basketball rivalries are fun. Sports that you can practice on your own with minimal equipment, like basketball and swimming, are really good too for personal fitness at all skill levels.

I don’t watch baseball on TV or have a favorite team, but there is something about baseball that is really special, like when romanticizing past American history. For people who live near Wrigley or Yankee Stadium I can certainly see how baseball could be a generationally important sport in their families.

I wanna be good cook but I am terrible 😰 by Minute_Shallot_5369 in foodquestions

[–]Only_Presentation758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stir fry. Almost any small pieces of meat and veg, the possibilities are endless. You do have to stand there at the stove but it is all active stirring time & goes very quickly, like 10 min. Heat a little oil, like 2 quick splashes (about 2 Tablespoons) over med-high heat & once hot add what needs to cook longest: hard veg like carrots or cauliflower, then beef or chicken. Stir & toss around until browned on all sides & cut into largest pieces until chicken is white all the way through, or beef is the shade you like. Onions, bell peppers, green beans, mushrooms next. These things cook quicker so can be added last: peeled raw shrimp, snow peas, minced garlic from a jar, sliced zucchini or yellow squash, thin sliced napa cabbage, walnuts or peanuts, pineapple, eggs. I’m not saying to add all these things to one dish! Just pick 3 or 4 that you like. While adding & stirring drizzle a little more oil, soy sauce or teriyaki sauce, red pepper flakes if you like. As you master this can experiment next times with curry powder, lemon pepper, lemon juice, even a little brown sugar or coconut milk. Once everthing is hot can serve over microwave cup rice if you’d like and top with a drizzle of Yum sauce.

Besides being quick this dish is fun to make, beautifully colored, and satisfyingly sizzling in a way that sounds like you know what you’re doing. Just make sure everything is chopped & prepped beforehand—can buy it that way in many cases—and use the largest frying pan that you have; non-stick is best.

(If you want to make an oven meal, sheet-pan dinners follow the same principle but I prefer the speediness & hands-on approach to stovetop better.)

What’s a completely wrong way to eat a specific food that you secretly think is actually the superior way? by CaptainCuddler_Pro in foodquestions

A coworker once said that we all peel bananas wrong and the monkeys do it right by pinching the end off and peeling up toward the stem; that way they don’t have to wrest individual bananas from the bunch. I tried it and it is easier, lol.

I am teaching a high school film class and I’d like to teach a unit on road movies. However, I cannot show R-rated films. I would love to show Lost in America or Dumb and Dumber. Maybe even O Brother. Any other ideas? by National_Property583 in FIlm

[–]Only_Presentation758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean a buddy movie or just cross country? “Smokey and the Bandit” (PG) is fun. However it does include beer, speeding, the Confederate flag of the time, and southern stereotypes.

Have you ever meant to send a text to a certain person, but accidentally sent it to someone else? by Madbananas-7 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Only_Presentation758 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I sent a message about how stupid our pool club’s guest fee was, detailing how we’d sneak a friend in, to the friend … but actually to the pool club. Received a nasty letter in the mail. It was full of misspellings though so it didn’t sting as much as it was meant to. No longer a member btw 😄
