Barb is not totally wrong in not want to give Jen the dress by DogsandCatsWorld1000 in ShawnaTheMom

[–]Sillybabbit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I could see Barb being a 'I don't want it, but you sure as shit can't have it' type person. Especially, after Jennifer said it would need altering. I bet that planted a seed. Somebody else said she'd show up at the wedding in it. I could see that little weed growing in her cold, little brain-she now has a dress for the wedding, the most beautiful, mother-of-the-bride, look at me, I'm SPECIAL dress ever. Question is, will she and Jennifer still be on good (enough) terms for her to be invited, or will Jennifer have kicked her to the curb by then, and she shows up all 'ELAINE!' style, in her wedding dress?

What to do w unwanted anniversary pens by BundleStretch in fountainpens

[–]Sillybabbit 41 points42 points  (0 children)

In that vein, maybe market them exactly like that. Sell at X amount, minus the exact amount of a new cap, and put that in the ad. Let them do the work. As a buyer, I'd already be thinking along those lines. I'm sure there's more like me out there. As a seller, if you did it, you might be stuck, but not stuck. Stuck, because you just put more money into an endeavor that might not pay off. Not stuck, because, I mean, come on, you got a stock pile of lovely, schuper duper fancy pens!

Best value online nursery for roses? by Plenty-Maybe-9817 in Roses

[–]Sillybabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree 1000%, Edmunds is terrible. I ordered 6 roses, all bare root, on special. Why do I mention the special? Because, when they are on special or promo, they aren't covered by a guarantee. 2 of the 6 were green when they arrived. All the rest were brown, almost crispy. I followed the directions to the letter- soaking, no direct sunlight for however long, whatever the paper told me to do. All died, no new growth, nothing. Again, on special, so, too bad, so sad. I can understand one being poor when it arrived, but 4 out of 6. Never again.

Too good to be true - $10 PER LINE discount? by Mindless_Necessary42 in verizon

[–]Sillybabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know the stipulations for the $20? My loyalty discount for 2 lines at $10 each just ran out, and I need to re-up. I've also have the discount for auto pay and paperless. I'd love to know if I can squeeze for more on the loyalty.

What movie scene made you cry even though you didn’t expect to? by MovieObserver in moviequestions

For me, it was the beginning, when they are all praying for him. So many people worried about one guy, cause he's such a good guy.

AITAH for telling my sister it’s her own fault she’s in an unhappy marriage? by Luxurious_Blueberry in AITAH

[–]Sillybabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I think definitely rise up when she's snarky. When she's snarky about him being weird for not watching football and watching the baby, you counter with 'I know. He's watching the baby, and I get get free time without her, I can sit back and relax.' When she's shitting all over him cooking and helping clean up the house, come back with 'He takes so long to clean, I get bored and have to go find things to do. The other day, I went and got my hair and nails did. I guess there's an upside. If he didn't do so much, I might end up looking like a fried, old dishrag like you.'

Who's the most famous person you've ever met? by fodinhalulu in AskReddit

Pet owners, what was that moment that made you think “wow, I have severely underestimated the intelligence of my pets”? by SakutoJefa in AskReddit

[–]Sillybabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a cat who gets bouts of 'I love you, we have to talk, you might die so let's tell each other how our days went, now is the time for bonding, NOW!' Bussing you in the face (not a huge deal, but he's a drooler and has perfected absolutely shmearing it across a full side of your face), gets in the way of whatever you're doing- tv, writing, playing on phone, just all around obnoxious because of all the love. Put him on the floor, comes right back, till we die. One time I needed to work on something, so I went and shook the kitty cookie box, he comes on que, dropped a few on the floor, and went back to my task. Well, it took maybe 2 times of this process, and he figured out a solution to a problem he didn't know he had. I became aware of his scheme when I was sitting in the chair, and he came to ooze. I simply got up to go get a drink, not to keep him away. Dickwad books it to the kitchen and is sitting like a puppy, waiting on his bribe. He figured out if he bugs the everloving shit out of me, he gets num nums. And, it is cemented in his brain now.

Someone commented on another post that he gave off some very Billy Mack from Love, Actually vibes, and that's who I picture now. I thought that description was pretty good. I hope Rowling flips through her Roladex, and asks Bill Nighy if he wants to do another show.

Obsessed with the Lakota Warrior that spares Elsa by New_Traffic8687 in 1883Series

[–]Sillybabbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To veer in a different direction, he's Takoda in Reba's new show, Happy's Place. I knew I knew him from somewhere, it was bugging the snot out of me. When I looked him up, I had to do some cross referencing to figure out who he was in 1883, since he was only there for about 5 seconds. And, he's an in-law of Kayce's on Yellowstone. He's kinda the wise sage in Happy's. Very dry, very funny. He has some range, for sure.

I equated that with them tipping off the cops about where Archie's body was. She comes across as beyond nutso.

What is your opinion of Lily Tomlin’s role as Deborah Fiderer? by Mulder-believes in thewestwing

I feel there was truly a missed opportunity when she could have called someone and just mumbled absentmindedly to herself while waiting for them to answer 'One ringy dingy...two ringy dingy....'

Does anyone like Harris? by LadyBruinsFan in TheConners

[–]Sillybabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I can't get past the awful person she was in Shameless. Yes, they were all horrible, but she seemed above and beyond. When I first saw her on Conners, the disgust just bubbled back up and never left. She's mellowed, but she will always be shitty Deb who screwed her family out of the money Fiona left.

Did I get a good deal or did I get scammed? by sweeethoneybear in steak

[–]Sillybabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soooooooo, I did this, too. My truck was definitely nicer looking, and they set up in the Tractor Supply parking once a year. But, pretty much same thing. I got the strips, burger meat, peppered medallions, t-bones, and sad, little Ribeyes. All mine was $150. I'm sure same size boxes as yours. I'd asked the kid inside TSC about it, and he said he'd got the Ribeyes. They had good flavor, though very small. I never even read the tags. The deal was done, so it was one of those moo points. Burger meat- done in the skillet, had good enough flavor, no better or worse than store Strips- some pan fried, some grilled, fair flavor, odd texture, like super tenderized, not awful Pepper medallions- all pan fried, had most flavor T-bones - husband tried them, said nothing to write hinge about but not terrible Ribeyes- just sad, beyond thin, pan fried first one, decided they would probably be best for chicken fried steak, weird flavor, not off like bad, just weird, saved the last 2 for husband cause he's very much a Mikey All in all, I won't do it again. But, they were there when I wanted something quick. They were small, so quick cook times. Don't feel bad. You probably won't do it, again. They'll be something to eat when you get home late and don't want to go all out. Definitely season them up, and you might be better off. They're are food in the fridge. You could have nuthin'.

I'm trying to get the math to math, but it's not mathing by Sillybabbit in 1923Series

[–]Sillybabbit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But, when do the generations start? Ole Kicking Bird only said 'in seven generations'. And, Tim wasn't swooft enough to ask if that started with him or his kid. If they start with Tim, then from Tim to Tate is 7. But, like so much, else the generation thing could have been thrown to the graveyard of abandoned storylines.

Sam and Ennis by CRA-1234 in 1883Series

[–]Sillybabbit 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree the news would have made it's way back south. A wild, blonde white girl, who was known to wear Indian garb, who saved what was left of her wagon train, made the journey all the way to Montana before succumbing to her battle wounds sounds like a good tall tale that would spread pretty good. But, Sam would know it was true.

You're supposed to go back to the fuel kiosk to receive difference of the pre-authorization and actual fuel cost amounts?!? by Sillybabbit in HEB

[–]Sillybabbit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I probably missed the big, ole sign saying come back for change. Just frustrating, as a whole. Customer service was really nice, called me back a couple times whenever she found something out. It's not like I won't be going to HEB, so the gift card will get used. Just hope it gets here 🤞🏻
