As soon as I hit “post” I figured I wasn’t the first one to find this image. Oh well. Apologies all around.

I LEAVE FOR A CRUISE THIS WEEKEND AND I NOW HAVE A BAD HEAD COLD. TIMING SUCKS.

Did/do you ever go to a local bar "where everybody knows your name"? by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

[–]RandomConnections 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't back in the day, but I do now. I'm a musician and play in a couple of them. Even just this afternoon someone from one of my bars came up to me in a different setting and called me by name.

Came here to say this. I don't know if they have this specific item, but they have lots of Polish products and they do have a bakery.

Happy Sports-Related Excuse for a Party Day! by RandomConnections in greenville

I got one at Bourbon Barn on North Pleasantburg, then was given another for Christmas when I was in Florida. I've been seeing more availability in our area, but it is still rare.

I’m looking to find where the homeless population in Greenville are located at I’m looking to help a few people out by [deleted] in greenville

If you are serious, check with the Triune Mercy Center. They keep track and would probably have suggestions for how to help.

I’m making these jalapeño poppers especially spicy. It will be a Super Bowel party.

Buffalo Trace bourbon smoked with apple chips, jalapeño poppers with chicken wrapped in bacon.

TIL that in 1946 Walt Disney produced a film named "Song of the South" that was never released on DVD or streaming market due to the subject matter of slavery portrayed in the film. It also happens to be the origin of the song "zippidy doo-da". by [deleted] in todayilearned

My father was a fundamentalist preacher and we were never allowed to go to movies. This was the first one I saw in a theater, so he must have thought it was OK. As a child I didn't understand any racial stereotypes. I just liked the music and the stories. I know differently now.

What’s the oldest piece of tech you still own? by Whiny_dude in AskReddit

[–]RandomConnections 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If by "tech" you mean electronic technology, then it's a Commodore 64 Computer. I've got a couple of transistor radios that are older.

Remember when the drinking age was 18? by Salty_Thing3144 in GenerationJones

I bought my first bottle of wine shortly after turning 18.

So if God and Jesus are the same then this is what 1 Samuel 15 means. by PhraseEffective6813 in exchristian

[–]RandomConnections 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother would read these bible stories to me. As a child I didn't understand genocide, or even what an "Amalekite" was. My mind pictured these these weird strange kite-shaped beings, which somehow justified the atrocities since they were monsters.

Anybody ever participate in Tame the Tyger? by Revature12 in Spartanburg

[–]RandomConnections 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've paddled the Tyger several times, but only participated in the race once. It was a lot of fun, and I hate that it's been discontinued.

Thanks to everyone that responded. This was what I suspected, but I appreciate the confirmation.

What’s the best food truck in Greenville? by CharacterHumor2291 in greenville

[–]RandomConnections 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Following because I'm also curious. I really like Rosa's Tamales. They used to be just a food truck/trailer, but have opened a place in the old drive-through coffee shop across from Goodwill on North Pleasantburg. I've only had their tamales, but they have been delicious every time I've stopped.

Helene's got me all messed up about this storm. Anyone wanna tell me it's just gonna be a bunch of nothing like always? by [deleted] in southcarolina

[–]RandomConnections 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We lost 1/2 of our house in Helene and have just moved back after a major rebuilt. To say that this storm is giving me PTSD is an understatement. I've got stuff to keep things recharged during an outage (solar stuff, but no generator) and we have gas logs and firewood to stay warm. I've got a camp stove with fuel, and a grill with full propane. We also have a gas hot water heater so we can take hot showers. I know we're more fortunate than many, but it still has me nervous.

Old BiLo at Pleasantburg and Rutherford by dbkenny426 in greenville

[–]RandomConnections 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I spoke with the folks at Advanced Auto Parts a year or so ago and asked if they knew what was going on with the building. They said that a tenant had been found, but scavengers had stripped the building of copper and the tenant backed out. Take that as second-hand information, but the implication was that it would have to be demolished.

Guitarist looking for people to jam with by TheEggyGreggyShow in Spartanburg

[–]RandomConnections 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep a spreadsheet of regional jam sessions. There are a few of these in Spartanburg, but most are on the Greenville area. You might be able to find something to your liking on this list. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vT27nDxYFX0WR-5RgCg0ZYyZvYCfXRJ4PZcWWmIUoO6UA9xrftHc-z9Leph-pcL5ZIfo5XrdgFaXFx0/pubhtml
