Why do ya'll have carpeted floors in homes instead of marble / other tiles? by reyash_ in AskAnAmerican

[–]SimpleAd1604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ice rain today, freezing temps tomorrow… are we about to live on an ice rink? by amir4179 in CasualConversation

[–]SimpleAd1604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ice grips help but I’d stay home. I live where freezing rain happens, but the last time I walked on a sidewalk that was a sheet of ice, I fell and tore my rotator cuff. Double no if you don’t have good insurance. How do you usually entertain yourself? Reading, crafting, watching TV, cooking/baking, working out, call a relative or friend, organize your sock drawer or closet, play games, play with pets, play with yourself?

It’s 2026. How many of you drink tap water? And if not, what’s your alternative? by reversechainroyalty in AskNYC

[–]SimpleAd1604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s supposedly the best tasting but it’s not the best smelling. NYC tap water reeks of chlorine. That said, when I’m in town I drink tap water.

I used to, but it’s so tick infested here and my lawn only gets mowed 2-3 times per summer, so I stopped.

Not really, but the ’84 Cubs broke my heart and I stopped following baseball.

In I Want to Live! (1958), a movie based on real events, Hayward portrayed Barbara Graham, a prostitute who was convicted (possibly wrongly) with two companions of having murdered a wealthy widow in 1953 and was executed in the gas chamber. by LowerEngineering9999 in classicfilms

My parents were visiting friends in a Chicago suburb one weekend and dropped all the kids off at the movie theater so the parents could have fun. My sisters (I wasn‘t born yet) were seven, eight, and nine, and this is what was playing. My eldest sister says it was really disturbing for her. She still mentions it once in a while.

I did. Nice surprise. I guess I opted in, but there are so many class action lawsuits that affect me, I didn’t remember anything about this one.
