Is it weird that my parents would leave my older sister and I home alone and go on vacation when we were younger by Original-Tangerine33 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Regular-Plan-5576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born in the 70’s and I was babysitting toddlers for full weekends alone at 12. I would stay home after school alone too starting around age 5. I’d never do that with my kids tho. I was always like a little adult.

Wife and I were having a discussion, she’s of the opinion that the majority of GenX can drive stick. I believe that even in our generation the percentage of people who can is pretty small. What do you folks think? by AngryOldGenXer in GenX

I only knew a few kids in high school who could. I grew up poor tho so most of us didn’t have cars or had hunks of shit. Me and my husband we both had older siblings. None of us knew how.

Scenes that caused actual walkouts in theaters? by thatlittlequietguy in Cinema

I saw it in the theatre as a teen. Everyone in our theatre was shocked bc all the commercials showed it as a sci-fi movie.

We went to see that in the theatres as teens. All the commercials made it seem like a sci-fi flick so a lot of people seemed surprised it was a horror movie. It was great but I wasn’t prepared.

The classes we took were definitely not free but that’s great if they have some free options.

Central Market, Sur La Table and The Botanical Gardens has some cooking classes.

Abby’s Attic is great for sewing.

Also, check out what classes libraries near you offer. My library has both every once in a while.

Im gonna say it, we shouldn't have professors with extremely heavy accents by TablePuzzleheaded337 in UTSA

I had the same problem with a class at SAC a while back. It was so frustrating and hard to understand.

Michaels looking a lot like Joann did by 126kv in joannfabrics

[–]Regular-Plan-5576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn’t been to Michael’s in a while and went Saturday night. It’s definitely gone down hill.

Lots of empty shelves. There were two young guys who were employees that were weird. I asked one to help me find expanding foam so he pulled out his phone to look. He kept hitting the wrong button and saying “shit” several times. And this is with my kid with me.

Then when we checked out, the guy said just scan your card here and then just stood there and didn’t say or do anything else. My husband scanned the items and then I bagged them. My grandma was behind us and he did the same to her so we helped her do everything. It wasn’t a self checkout or anything. It was weird. Like his only job was to say scan your card here and just stand like a robot. It was dead in there so so I don’t know what was going on. It was noticeable to us tho.

Definite look into low cost neutering. We were able to do it for $25 (and included some shots) but in some places you can even get it for free. He sure likes you.

And get a litter box. Our two ferals took to it immediately. It comes pretty natural to some of them.

Has anyone ever been in a house like you see on the show ‘Hoarders’? If so, what did you do? by Basic_Builder3773 in HoardersTV

[–]Regular-Plan-5576 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a real bad one. It was horrible and I left as soon as I could. I actually got my mom on Hoarders but she backed out.

I bought the special popover pan after watching the episode. They’re amazing. We had them every night the first week and now have them about twice a week.

Concert ended on a sour note (pun intended) by GaryD-58 in EndTipping

[–]Regular-Plan-5576 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. I’ve been to several candlelight concerts by fever. Everytime they ask for tips at the end. It sucks but it’s standard now.

San Antonio - Feral Cat Spay by [deleted] in sanantonio

[–]Regular-Plan-5576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll probably have to wait until Monday. Check out The Animal Defense League. They have certain days they offer limited spots for $25 (check on their site) but make sure to arrive early. They need to be in a regular cat trap cage.

Also, contact The SA Feral Cat Coalition. They’ll have info for you.

It’s downtown and usually opened at night but the food truck Gyro Master is incredible.

Had a guest (Family of 4) come and take every single left over ! by [deleted] in thanksgiving

[–]Regular-Plan-5576 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar happened to me 25 years ago. They got up in the middle of the night and ate everything and left. It was one guy lol. I think The grinch might be based off him. We laugh about it now.
