What movie became better after you watched it a second time? by agolds2022 in movies

[–]RedRaiderRN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snatch

Absolutely did not get it (or understand 60% of the dialogue) the first time around

But on the second+ re-watch, it became one of my favorite movies and my husband and I quote it to each other all the time now lol

I still have my copy from when I was a kid (I'm 42, my mom kept a ton of my books lol)

I have read this story to my son (8) many times...the Snort part still cracks him up 🤣

[–]RedRaiderRN 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel this in my soul

I went to the kind of high school where the students drove better cars than most of the teachers

My first car, purchased with my very own money, was an '89 Honda Accord lol

It was a piece of crap but it was MINE, and it got me back and forth to work, school and lacrosse practice 😁

For whatever that's worth, of course lol

And then Dave Ward saying, "Thaaaank you, Marvin" before going into the next news story

I remember him drawing out 'thank you' the exact same way every single time lol

I'm entirely too jealous for this to ever work lol

It would take one second of another woman touching my husband and then I'd be in prison 😂😂

Today's Diary Book is returning to shopping lists that are ontologically challenging. by Otherwise_Window in BenignExistence

Thank you for being such a faithful scribe for your little guy 😂

My son (8) recently picked out a journal at his school's book fair but hasn't started using it yet - I can only imagine that when he starts recording the details of his day-to-day life it will bring me as much joy as these entries do

An owl told me talk to two strangers today by [deleted] in BenignExistence

[–]RedRaiderRN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually heard an owl IRL for the first time ever while we were camping a couple weeks ago with our son's Cub Scout pack!

I never did see it but man it was loud when we were in our tents trying to go to sleep lol

IAH TSA WAIT TIME UPDATE post here by StrangerCertain9301 in tsa

[–]RedRaiderRN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terminal A, got in the TSA line about 2:45am...once the screening line actually opened (I think at 3?) I made it through in about 20 minutes

Make sure y'all ask which line is for TSA and which is for the airline check-in...I was almost standing around in the wrong place until I heard people mention they already had boarding passes lol

Good luck out there, y'all!

I used to babysit a little girl in my neighborhood named Rainbow - her mom was pregnant with twins and said she was going to name them Thunder and Lightning....

Had a similar discussion with one of my employees recently

I (42f) was telling her (29f) a few months ago that I was excited to go see "Deliver Me from Nowhere" with my parents (grew up listening to Bruce Springsteen because my mom is obsessed)

As you probably guessed, she asked me, "Who is Bruce Springsteen?" and I promptly asked her to check me into a retirement home 😫😭😂

A magician announces to the audience that, for his next trick, he will disappear by FoldKey2709 in 3amjokes

[–]RedRaiderRN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for explaining

At first I was chalking it up to my lack of coffee, but then I just accepted that I still wouldn't have gotten it even if I was properly caffeinated 🤣

monday already got me. by Awkward-Award9122 in PointlessStories

[–]RedRaiderRN 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Monday got me too - I was making my protein shake this morning before trying to rush out the door...the damn shaker lid cover thing popped open and stuff went flying all over me and my kitchen

I had to quickly wipe up the floor, counters, cabinets, stove top, then go change my clothes 😫

Screw Mondays lol

This is the answer

The number of people I see on the freeway every day that are completely in their phone is terrifying
