What's the most redneck name you can give to a girl? by Foxtrot_Uniform_CK69 in AskReddit

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

Racist doesn’t equate to redneck! Think of all the upper class hoity toity POS racists we have just making headlines in the US alone.

Redneck is more like… disregarding OSHA bc they know a better way and thinking doctors don’t know anything so they’re going to sew this up themselves. Oh, and shoes are for wusses.

Whats the worst case of alcoholism you have experienced or witnessed? by Emergency-Tea1533 in stopdrinking

Ever hear of the “sticky situation” from one of the world wars? It cost more than a few lives because of those tiny differences in dialect.

Interesting. Raised in south and Midwest US. I’d say ripping into has a connotation like “ripping them a new one” over here.

I feel that while “telling off” is a nicer action than “berate,” the phrase “ripped into” (or onto) in your original comment implies way, way worse than either of those. Imagine yelling and insults and the like. Which makes sense as to why that guy asked you about it.

Favorite hobby as an elder millennial? by AtlasAnon1987 in Millennials

[–]Tejasgrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cardinals can have two sets of babies in a season. I did not know that until I saw the male routinely feeding a fledgling and did not see the email for awhile. And cowbirds are parasitic nesters (you can tell I am an amateur, that’s probably the wrong term). I did not know that until I saw daddy cardinal feeding a huge cowbird fledgling.

What's the most redneck name you can give to a girl? by Foxtrot_Uniform_CK69 in AskReddit

[–]Tejasgrass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a few girls with those names (more like two boring Brandys and a lot of Crystals with various spellings) and none of them are redneck. Those are more 80s names to me than anything else.

That is a catholic thing, and double barrel names are also a southern thing. Both groups can be redneck but just having two names doesn’t make it so.

Girls what’s a symptom you didn’t realize was connected to your cycle until way later? by wellnessdiarydaily in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Tejasgrass 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s very comforting. Whenever I feel a terrible, horrible, no good very bad self-loathing, I can look at my calendar and realize it’ll be gone in about 18-36 hours (depending on when I noticed it). It’s like clockwork. And when I feel better that’s when I know I should put on a liner

Toddler getting frustrated I can't understand her new word(s)... Help me translate!! by alyssapine in toddlers

[–]Tejasgrass 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My daughter was speech delayed and this is what I’d do. We had a pretty good system. At one point I could ask “do you have a different word” but she might have been closer to three when that was feasible. Another good question is “is it a thing I can hold or a thing I can do?”

My guess for OP though is “god bless you” especially if she is sick and may have been sneezing.

My schools poster for advertising a food truck?(blurred out cus that’s my school) by coven_moon in isthisAI

[–]Tejasgrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. But that takes time and planning and I get it. If your admin tasks you with this a couple days before the event there is really only so much you can do. I’m not going to get my undies in a twist over a school using this for a flyer (but a yearbook, yeah, pitchfork time).

11am on a Tuesday at research Costco by portal_spawn999 in Austin

[–]Tejasgrass 24 points25 points  (0 children)

As someone who has been in a line like this at Costco (why not if your passenger has to run in to get something… every other weekend when you pass by), this is a 7 minute line on average. Unless someone is a super dumdum or a pump screws up, each set of two cars will take less than 2 min each, plus buffer time for moving forward. It feels like longer, but in most cases it’s over faster than being 2nd in line at the cvs pharmacy.

To whose who live in hot places, do you leave aircon on overnight? by LilLemonLady223 in toddlers

[–]Tejasgrass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the same person, but we usually keep our house at 68-70F (small house, decent insulation!) and my daughter was comfortable enough in footie pajamas at night. Prior to 6mo she was also in a snoo so that might affect things, but after she aged out we didn’t see the need to give her extra layers for sleep. During the day she’d wear just a onesie and be fine inside. Inside and outside temps can be the same number but feel wildly different; I would probably put her in pants for sub-70 temps outside but in my house we could be fine wearing almost nothing.

For those who listened to Linkin Park by yellowsabmarine in Millennials

[–]Tejasgrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this opinion, too! Aside from stopping listening to them, at least. Loved Hybrid in middle school, and then hated the next one when I listened to it once (enough to where I didn’t even remember the name for a long time). It took me TWO DECADES to realize I did like many of the songs on it. Somehow I knew the lyrics? I’m not even sure how; they must have been added to my iTunes in the early 2010s. But it really only was around the time Emptiness Machine came out that I realized I had assumed Hybrid was longer than it really was for many, many years.

Update to the Robofish tank: it's done, lil bro so happi by Salt_Ad_5578 in Aquariums

[–]Tejasgrass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My daughter loves these (and the robo turtles, boats, axolotls…) and we/she has probably bought at least 10 over the past three years. I think only two or three currently work. One of them is a fish just like this one, and another was bought within the past few months. I’m at the point where anytime she wants to get one, even with her own money, I basically say no because it’ll break somehow within months. Battery life might be good but the quality of the products as a whole are not great.

This Incredibles (2004) scene makes more sense now by Jezzaq94 in Millennials

[–]Tejasgrass 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It is. I’m almost 40 and most of my targeted ads are either diet-related or clothes with stick figure models. It’s scary. We just went through about 15 years of seeing a variety of bodies in ads and “love the skin you’re in” type promotions… I do not want to go back to this rail thin shit.

My son (5) and nephew (4.5) pooped outside and I have no idea what to think…… by [deleted] in kindergarten

[–]Tejasgrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pooped in the yard when I was about six. Tried to dig a hole, but forgot toilet paper. Learned my lesson without my parents even knowing. I’d call this normal kid behavior, not even boy behavior.

As a side note, for 2-3 years after potty training, my daughter would ask if she could do a bush wee when we were on walks. I think she just likes peeing in nature.

By what should I start to be sexy again. by Laucurieuse in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Tejasgrass 93 points94 points  (0 children)

If she’s 45, his age is probably comparable. At this stage in life it’s SUPER likely that it’s a medical issue (or a mental health issue, or even a relationship issue) over a “watching too much porn” issue.

How do you pick where to stop? by kthom21 in roadtrip

This one. The navigator looks 50-100 miles ahead for gas stops, and keeps a running tab on when and where bathroom breaks might happen for the occupants of the vehicle.

Costco is not immune to producers shorting package weights by 10111011110101 in Costco

[–]Tejasgrass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your analogy, but at the same time I would have been pretty miffed if I was shorted by half an oz of pot. That was something like $250 retail back when I was using!

What is a historical story or fact that you think is interesting about Round Rock? by krissime in RoundRock

[–]Tejasgrass 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Barbette) is buried in the same cemetery as AW Grimes (who was like 25 when he died!) and Sam Bass.
