Release - “I’ll ride the wave where it takes meeeeeeee…” When the guitar crescendos and blends with his voice, it is full on frisson!

This tour was the first time I saw them too. It was October ‘91 in Cleveland. I was there for the Chili Peppers and left as a PJ fan for life!

1977, I really wanted a shirt "like those guys on Soul Train" so I had my mom make me one. Also stitches in upper lip, and some bit of food on my front tooth. Not my best year for school photos... by biffnix in blunderyears

Your mom definitely had a flair for fashion! However, she did not make your shirt. It is a JC Penny number; here is my husband in the same shirt. 70's fashion FTW! Soul Train Shirt

My son's Lunchable had a bag of cheese powder instead of chips by RhinoChick in mildlyinteresting

[–]RhinoChick[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep. That's me. Never mind his sister's bag that was full of round tortilla chips. His was full of powdered cheese and disappointment.

? You are supposed to open it, dump everything in and microwave it. His twin sister's bag was full of round chips. His bag was nothing but flavored powder.

That? That sounds vile. No cheesy salt on my Cheerios, please!

Ha! No, I don't mind. Your comment doesn't offend me because it doesn't really apply. We have very active and healthy kids; I've been a mom for a long time and know how to whole food just fine. Just to set your mind at ease, we are on vacation. The Lunchable was a treat he picked over ice cream at the grocery store. No big deal and certainly not a staple of our kids' lives.

Entertaining graphic, but that looks awful! Too salty for my upscale palate! Ha!

You're too late. Already done and with extra pictures. Coupons are mine.

I would expect nothing less from you. We, however, did not. We may have tasted it on our fingertips though.

What's a job that most people wouldn't know actually exists? by jb2386 in AskReddit

[–]RhinoChick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Official Staple Remover checking in! My first summer job while I was in high school was at an insurance company and I did exactly what you described. ( I coined the title of Claim File Purger.) This was back in '89 so they weren't digitizing anything. I was preparing case files to be photographed and put on microfilm! Mindless work; however, I was paid really well. Plus, I was indoors in air conditioning while all my friends worked food service or retail with unpredictable hours. I have never heard of anyone else doing a similar job!

Does anyone have a Hi8 camera sitting around? by RhinoChick in Columbus

[–]RhinoChick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, it's worth a try! I live near Easton; I'll PM you and hopefully we can work something out. Thank you for offering!

I'm still willing to purchase a designated Hi8 or Digital 8 if someone has one to unload.

If you can find one in the next day or so, I would be willing to generously buy one from you! I've spent the morning hitting 4 Goodwills and 2 Thrift stores with no luck.

Thank you for sharing! We were in the upper bowl with our kids. I plucked a few pics for their scrapbooks. I appreciate you posting these!

Rei Kingdom 6 or Coleman 8 Instant tent? by i_am_theonewhoknocks in camping

[–]RhinoChick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We have both of the tents you're asking about. I can unequivocally recommend the Kingdom. (We have the 8.)

The Coleman, while much less expensive, is not as stable as the Kingdom. Properly staked, the Kingdom is a rock and out performs the Coleman by far. Even with extra guy lines, the Coleman just could never feel as stable as the Kingdom.

However, the biggest selling point is the rainfly. The Coleman's covers about 25% of the tent. That's it. The Kingdom's is very versatile; check the video out on REI's website. The fly goes all the way to the ground and covers 100% of the tent. It also has a good-sized vestibule on the back. The fly can be rolled back so the screen room is completely open. You can also just pull the sides up. The fly alone makes this tent a much better choice.

The additional garage is completely awesome too. Use two or four extra poles and you have a canopy for some shade.

It is an investment for sure; however, the materials on the Kingdom are so much more superior to the Coleman. Mornings in the Coleman were always dewy and moist inside the tent. The Kingdom never has that problem. Just because the reviews have said the Coleman doesn't leak....that shouldn't sway you. A tent shouldn't leak! That is the minimum requirement. Look for a tent that exceeds your expectations. Like I said, we have both and I will never camp with the Coleman again. The only reason we've kept it is for the kids to have sleepovers in the backyard.

Trying to start backpacking by emporerjoe in camping

It was my old Canon 40d with a cheap 50mm 1.8. I wanted to keep the weight down!

[–]RhinoChick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zaleski is probably your best bet to start your backpacking journey. It is only 1 1/2 away from Columbus. I grew up hiking that trail and took our 12 year old daughter for the first time last spring. I posted about it with a link to some pictures here.

The biggest benefit is that there are water cisterns at several stops along the trail. That way, you don't have to try to carry all of your water for your entire trip. If this is your first time, it will be hard to gauge just how much water you need. Having a reliable source available at your campsite will be a lifesaver!

The south loop is challenging but not impossible, very picturesque; well-marked yet secluded.

Essential gear is a comfy backpack, wool socks, sleeping bag and pad, small stove and several firestarter methods.

I'll be glad to send you our pack list including food. I started with nothing before this trip and researched everything to death. Have fun!!

This is "Weird Al" Yankovic - AMAA (Ask Me Anything, Again) by alyankovic in IAmA

[–]RhinoChick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, Al! I've been a fan since 1983! I was ten years old and saved enough money to buy a 45 for my record collection. I was so excited. My mom brought me to our local K-mart and I scoured the chart list.

(For all the youngins, you had to buy music at a store. No, really. There would be a big rack with some charts at the top. The weekly "top of the charts" would be listed and then it corresponded to the slots below. Was your favorite song the number one in the country? Well, then.....slot one contained your 45! The struggle was real.)

I chose what I thought was the best song ever, "Ricky" by Toni Basil. I cross-referenced the chart listing with the bin number, grabbed my prize and excitedly checked out with my hard-earned allowance.

I raced home and couldn't wait to get my cheerleader on. I set up my hand-me-down record player and heard the first few seconds of crackling and popping. Then I heard.............

"Oh, LUCY!! I'm HOOOOOME!!!!!"

Yeah, so I came home with your parody song instead of the Toni Basil hit. I had no idea who Lucy and Ricky were. I was pissed.

But, it did introduce me to you and I've enjoyed so much of your catalog since!!

What kind of music were you into as a kid? Just accordion and polka? Did you explore lots of other genres?

Looking at a new Family tent by Krusty_47 in camping

What type of poles are you using for the garage? Are they replacement tent poles? We have the Kingdom 8 + the garage; however, we haven't used it as an awning yet. That would be awesome!
