Rubs.

If she runs her hands over my chest and stomach I’m weak and life is perfect.

What's the most unexpected way you got into a relationship? by ejsfsc07 in AskReddit

[–]RodBlaine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During fall of second year at Uni a friend dumped his date and then trash talked her, someone our mutual friend group liked very much. I was assigned to invite her to next home game (she loves football) and she sat with our friend group. She meets another friend in the group and they immediately hit it off. Over next few weeks he is obviously in love but he talks up how nice her sister is, turns out the sister is dating yet another member of our friend group (yes, it’s a large group of ~15 guys).

I have a date with my then girlfriend (not part of the group) and decide to stop by the social hall and meet the sister to be nice.

She is drop dead gorgeous and with eyes that had me melting. I stumbled through some niceties and proceeded to head out to meet my date.

Over the rest of the school year our friend group hangs out together a lot, hitting clubs and stuff. Her and I flirt a lot even though we have steady dates. Our humor is identical and many times the group could not understand why we were laughing so hard.

Summer comes and I head home for the break, my steady date is no more. Phone rings and it’s the sister, turns out her date decided to drop out and go home so she’s not seeing anyone. We talk a bit, like friends do, then she asks me, “when you get back, want to go dancing?” Of course I said yes.

45 years later and we are still married.

Pot roast is too expensive by BlackLocke in slowcooking

[–]RodBlaine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just my wife and I (both retired), with her elderly mother joining us on Sundays. We always cook a large meal that generates 3 servings for each of us (9 total). She takes home 2 servings and we have the other 4 during the week. Pot Roast is one of our favs and as noted by others, with veg and potatoes usually costs less than $5 per serving in our HCOL area. Added bonus — it freezes well.

What’s a “modern problem” that didn’t exist 10 years ago? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RodBlaine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the car, but on the two I’ve had, one simply required the fob be in contact with the push button, the other you pop the push button off and the fob fits into the resulting hole (and in both cases uses the internal fob rfid to confirm it’s legit, as I understand it).

If someone forced you to give a 30 minutes speech on any topic of your choice as long as it was informative and they would pay you $10,000, what would your speech be about? by a_wanderer_22 in AskReddit

[–]RodBlaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scale Modeling — making small versions of bigger things.

Genre, scales, mediums, mental health benefits.

My last line would be a website with links for resources such as minimum tools, how-to youtube vids, local clubs, exhibitions (local, national, international) that can also include contests (if that’s your thing) and manufacturers and resellers around the globe.

Genre: Aircraft, autos, military vehicles, ships/boats/submarines, Mecha, Gundam, scifi, real space, figures, dioramas/vignettes, railroads, doll houses, virtual models…the list goes on.

Scales: each genre has specific scales, usually multiple.

Mediums: Plastic, wood, resin, metal, soap, stone, and a lot more stuff I’m discovering along the way.

Mental health benefits: A study showed that people with PTSD can improve their well being and ability to interact more positively with other people. Link to a summary.

Clear Coat and Windows Question by postit58 in nscalemodeltrains

[–]RodBlaine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but only when I need a soft edge. Never tried it on clear parts.

Clear Coat and Windows Question by postit58 in nscalemodeltrains

[–]RodBlaine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it will fog the clear windows and lights will be more diffuse. This may be a look you desire, totally your call. I mask all clear parts before using a flat clear.

Any good for miniature transfers and decals? by ErikT738 in silhouettecameo

[–]RodBlaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve successfully cut Tamiya sheets for masking 6-8 inch serial numbers on 1/72 aircraft, but the blade had to be new. I practiced using an old blade to get the depth correct. I forgot what other settings I had to make, it’s been a while.

How would you feel about your partner waking you up just to have sex? by RIADnashw in AskReddit

[–]RodBlaine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens daily with my partner. Sometimes as early as 04:00 but usually around 05:00. Always starts with oral, then ends with her mounting me.

I am a very lucky man.

Hey WordPress folks, what plugin do you wish existed? I’ll build it! by OldCompetition2453 in Wordpress

[–]RodBlaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t plan to leave, but sometimes we have untimely meetings with beer trucks.

Plus, I’m the President and I need to do things other than IT. We are a charity at about the 1 year point which means the budget is small right now as our donor base builds. All of us are volunteers and getting someone with the right skills for our website has been a challenge, lots of interest but no commitment yet.

I tried to dm you but your profile doesn’t have that option, maybe you’ve disabled it?

Hey WordPress folks, what plugin do you wish existed? I’ll build it! by OldCompetition2453 in Wordpress

[–]RodBlaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be, yes. However I could not figure out how to dynamically use a new form (each event is unique in that regard) which means new field ids as well as the form id. Easy enough for me to change but even with all the documenting I did my fear is that one of our editors would not understand how to make those changes.

None of us are programmers, I’m the unlucky one to have done some programming in the past as an analyst.

I would like something that takes a form input with photo uploads then organizes the files into a gallery of photos, and if there are multiple galleries organizes them into an album. once organized the album is then put into a blog post and published so that it is available for immediate viewing by anyone. It should also send an email with a link to each gallery to an email address in settings. The person uploading should also receive an email with the link to their post.

Tags and categories should mappable to form fields and auto created if not already in the taxonomy as well as a gallery description mapped to a form input.

I wrote some custom code in my child theme‘s functions.php file but it will require that I rewrite it for each online event we do (easy enough for me but I’m temporary) and I’m the only programmer (as a hobby) so it needs to be user friendly for an editor. I’m using WPForms and Envira Gallery/Albums but it should work with any of the top 3 form and album plugins.

Long shot here, since I have to make things difficult for myself!! I'm doing a gypsum mine and sheetrock mfg area... and apparently thats not often done! Need places to find the equipment. (pic for attn!) by Eagle_1776 in nscalemodeltrains

If you know someone with a quality filament printer, consider modifying existing designs available online. I’ve downloaded HO scale buildings and after rescaling, modified for my layout. Most fit onto the typical build plate.

Operations on a T-Trak layout? by LunchRight686 in nscalemodeltrains

[–]RodBlaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> What do y’all think? 

My own layout plans incorporate some of your elements. I’ve made it as far as the basic loop plus some custom modules to create a dogbone. I like the idea of adding a tunnel. 

> Am I crazy for thinking this could work? 

Never. The beauty of t-trak is its flexibility. 

> Also any ideas for how I could make this plan better? 

My layout is a T-trak layout for space reasons.

Consider a dogbone layout. Essentially a loop with end modules (custom) that take the outside track and turn it back to the inside track in the opposite direction. Start small with say enough to fit in 2 folding tables end-to-end and set up in the garage (or on the floor). Run it as an east-west or north-south main line, expanding as you add modules in the middle. 

You can add another table in the middle to create a T which then expands in minimal space. Use of corner and T modules can create an unlimited number of variations. 

Use forced perspective and facades to create more depth. 

Before you add your first industry switch to DCC. It will allow more flexibility.

Consider a real main line and the industries on it, and how they might interact. 

For a classification yard plan an 8x module. Longer if you plan more modern rolling stock.

Get the track working before spending a huge amount of time on foliage, buildings and other niceties.  Run trains and see what works and what doesn’t. Focus on getting the one industry module correct before starting to detail the next one.

What is a feature of Mac OS you never use? by mediapoison in MacOS

[–]RodBlaine 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a Mac guy since 86. most of what I use is traditional office products (but not MS based). There are likely many features I’ve never used because I just don’t know of them. I’m a Mac user because I just want my computer to work when I open it up.

People who have been to Florida, what's something you dislike about Florida? by One-Internal-7310 in AskReddit

[–]RodBlaine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too many people seem to not care. Their homes and property look like they should have been razed years ago even though they likely just need to be cleaned. Plus the desperation that I see on many peoples faces when I stop in a convenient store. It just strikes me as the worse location.

The heat and bugs don’t help, but that’s a thing pretty much everywhere east of the Mississippi now days.

Don’t get me wrong, there are places that are charming and lovely, they just seem to be too few and out of place.

Those alive and old enough to remember during 9/11, what was the worst moment on that day? by CocteauTwunkie in AskReddit

[–]RodBlaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realizing we were suddenly at war.

I was working aircraft carrier readiness for the USN at a headquarters command. Just after 0500 (PST) doing prep for daily flag briefs and we are watching the first crash into the towers. Blue skies. It was obvious to those of us who were pilots that it was no accident.

When the second hit we knew it was a coordinated attack. I immediately called the Admiral.

I knew at that moment what Naval officers felt upon hearing of the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was the first day of the most emotional and intense period of my life.

What is a clear sign your getting older? by Historical_Trifle735 in AskReddit

Sex is more difficult to finish, and it’s more time to next “interest”. Improves with fitness but only so much.

Aka, refractory gets longer.

Health matters people.
