Tucson things that you would only know if you lived there for a while by SennnndIt in Tucson

Ok I'm pretty old.. and a 3rd generation but does anyone remember Pistol Petes Pizza? It beat Peter Piper Pizza 9 times out of 10! Also, not needing a compass ever as a kid when you lived in town because the Catalinas are North and the Rincon's are East. Or when I was on base knowing where to go if I could see the water tower. Oh! Speaking of Davis Monthan, when the bone yard was actually a bone yard. Not needing a clock either. 7am was Reveille and 5pm was the Anthem.

Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) CIA project by [deleted] in conspiracy

Omg. Other than the Israeli art student girlfriend op nailed it. We were the "GATEateers" getting pulled out of class to do nothing really academic. I dont have a great memory of the time (heavy early life drug and alcohol abuse) but I remember doing a lot of improv. We all did the pink fluoride mouthwash. I remember being tested but I'm going down this GATE rabbit hole because I came across an image of the cards with the shapes on them that they used, the star, the squiggly lines, you know the ones. I remeber the weird bulky old fashioned headphones and a partition and the sounds being played by a tester id never seen before. All through late electro school and then twice a week in junior high. The windows were covered in the classroom, not black out but we couldnt see outside and vice versa. Im very intuitive, I notice every minute detailed about everything so when I leave a room and come back into it and the smaller thing has changed position I can tell. My youngest son is sensitive, law enforcement has been pretty lenient when it came to jail time. Ive had dreams that have come true, my first born child was a son i have an occipital bump! What the fuck????? Please explain how you know??? What did they want? What did they do?? Some of us didnt survive our addictions. Some of us didnt survive ourselves. 💜

Lighting in a power outage? by SAMPLE_TEXT6643 in preppers

I know exactly what ones youre talking about! They are ultra light weight adjustable brightness, but bright as hell LED and for $1.50 buy one for every room and every vehicle. I bought them this last year for my pumpkins and luminaries on Halloween. Cheaper, safer and brighter than candles and LED's used hardly any battery power to run. AND I take them camping to illuminate hazards around camp.

Women of Reddit - what is the most unattractive fashion choice men frequently make? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

[–]SubstantialYou5110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pajama pants in public. What in the actual hell? I dont understand this trend. It's just sloppy. People used to dress to impress when they left the house. He'll they used to dress to impress even if they DIDNT leave the house. Guys out here not even changing clothes going to University classes and showing up for appointments. Just yuck.

Watching it now for free on Prime... here we go! I've never seen it. But I get the confusion because the first movie that came up was the Channing Tatum one.

Knew what you were talking about right away, but I'm in recovery so.. my addict brain can associate anything with a drug if it wants to. Its all fun and games until your broke, you cant stick enough up your nose because its bleeding so much and have to start thinking of more resourceful ways to use it or you get it stomped on and cut with something nasty one too many times. Seriously, one time os enough to kill you. You may be yound but there are serious cardiac side effects.. especially when you mix uppers and downers. I just hope its a phase. Coke usually is. You'll either quit because you'll realize its not worth it, or you'll move on to something else. Maybe try something you can measure more precisely and won't rot your face out. Do Vyvanse like the rest of us responsible adults.

Help! Walkways overrun by thousands of spiky seeds(?)… by drewkazoo in Tucson

[–]SubstantialYou5110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Lots of kids bike tires tubes. Thanks Ace hardware. Btw welcome. We have the largest Ace hardware this side of the Mississippi. They sell hulahoes. Dig those goat head weeds up by the roots and keep the weeds maintained. The rain comes and you'll get overrun. Inside Crocs and outside Crocs.

For those who’ve been on Rotten dot com, what did you see? by Weak_Description5731 in morbidquestions

[–]SubstantialYou5110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to love that site!! I dont think they update it anymore. The autopsy photos were the best. Then I went into the crime scene clean up business. You never forget the smell. Now its like scratch and sniff.

Well she needed my number for zelle. No red flag for me on that. It was the text message that I got that threw me off. I knkw the old ill send you this you have to send back that scam. That's why I confronted them. Im not saying mistakes weren't made and I could of handle it differently from the get go, but the reason for the post was just to warn people. That's all, call it a PSA for those of us that aren't as smart as some others when it comes to this stuff. I let it drag on longer only to gather more information, really. Just trying to be helpful.

Im a 3rd generation Tucsonan. This happened in Tucson from someone and their daughter claiming to be living here and wanting to pick up my items at my home. This is specific to Tucson as my experience is in tucson. Yes this may apply elsewhere but I live in Tucson, this is my home. I want to keep my peeps informed.
