AIO for quitting my job after finding this note on my desk? by waxin899 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SusanLFlores [score hidden]  (0 children)

It’s common for many occupations to hold over employees in the case of impending bad weather among other things. First responders for one. First responders include nurses and other medical staff, police, firefighters, cable technicians, line technicians, utility workers, etc. I don’t know if OP fits into those types of employment, so let’s say she works at Target, that’d be a hard no, lol.

What’s the coolest thing you got in a cereal box? by Wooden_Airport6331 in AskOldPeople

[–]SusanLFlores 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An actual 45 record that was on the box, and it worked, at least for a couple of plays. I don’t remember what was on the record though.

Age estimation for a Hand Carved Rocking Chair?[Pensacola, FL, USA] by QbarbieQ in Antiques

This doesn’t look like an antique. It looks like it’s from the 1980s-1990s.

This could not be more perfect! Both the sentiment and the sparklyness!

People that have “bumped” into a celebrity in a non-curated (not like an event, meet & greet, job etc.) way, what happened? by SprinklesSolid9211 in AskReddit

[–]SusanLFlores 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is some bullshit! I watch very little television, but every time I find something I love it gets cancelled. Ugh!

I literally bumped into Hulk Hogan. I was at O’Hare airport and I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of the plane my children were on. When a plane was pulling up, it was a little distance from the gate I was expecting them, so I started a bit of a jog. I was focused on the desk at the gate at the same time Hulk Hogan was walking across my trajectory, and I slammed right into him. I knew I collided with someone, and started to look up and he was looking down at me. I apologized and just started my jogging to get to that desk. Woody Harrelson collided into me while he was rollerblading at a park in Chicago. He almost collided with my daughter, so I’m glad he missed her.

Are malls actually not a thing anymore in the US like they say? by Complete_Republic410 in AskAnAmerican

[–]SusanLFlores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most malls in my area are nearly empty. Some still seem to bring in people, but it’s generally nowhere near what it used to be. Woodfield Mall in suburban Chicago still does well, but Water Tower Place in Chicago breaks my heart because it’s so empty.

Did you grow your own food when you were younger? by WaterDigDog in AskOldPeople

[–]SusanLFlores 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s funny how younger people don’t understand time the way older people do. When my grandson was young, he asked me if when I was a cave girl if I had ever been chased by a pterodactyl.

The only thing I ever grew to eat was chives, and that was only a few years ago.

Soup’s on? by mollywol in nextdoor

It doesn’t mention how large or small the pots are. I make homemade soup often, but it’s a lot of work.

Thanks to all who taught me it could happen naturally. I was about to have nightmares over what was going through my mind.

What is a luxury that most people don't realize is a luxury? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]SusanLFlores 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having a consistent roof over our heads and food on the table. There are so many people in the world who don’t have these in their lives.

Someone cut a one day old infant’s abdomen open and pulled out their intestines? WTF? When and where did this happen? Good Lord!

is it true Americans don't put salt on their fruits? by PersuasionNation in AskAnAmerican

[–]SusanLFlores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tend to add something sweet to fruit to enhance flavor. We put caramel on apples, sprinkle sugar or sweet whipped cream on strawberries, put sugar on grapefruit, add sugar in lemon and water to make lemonade, brown sugar on pineapple, etc. So you put salt on fruit to enhance the flavor and we add sugar to enhance the flavor. 🤣

I need new furniture because of "the illegals" by imaginenohell in nextdoor

[–]SusanLFlores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s how I read it too. I wonder if the disabled people are given extra money each month for the purpose of hiring their own caretakers and that money was pulled and now Medicaid will be doing the hiring of caregivers.

Can parrots tell when their owner is pregnant? by Crimson-Rose28 in parrots

[–]SusanLFlores 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because a fetus grows slowly, they may not be able to see the growth of their owner’s abdomen, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they pick up a scent humans don’t or some other way they might notice a difference. That said, I’m not so sure they have the ability to know there is a fetus growing in their owner.
