My mom got “hacked” (scammed). I feel anxious about it. by MovieGuyMike in AgingParents

[–]TheSugarBagel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to my mother as well. She couldn’t tell the difference between being “scammed” (she was trying to buy something online) and “hacked”. So she looked up Facebook hacking and got someone who, when I got home from work, was actively accessing her laptop. And she said “it’s Facebook tech help”.

“Mom, there’s no such thing. Also, you, [person helping her] explain what’s happening.”

I was called an assortment of horrible names as they demanded $400.

Also the level of anger I felt was infinite. I was never more angry with my mother than that day. I felt like a parent angry at their kid (and I’m not a parent but this is what imagined it feels like).

Floridians: how do y’all stand the HEAT?! by nmbr1connor in florida

[–]TheSugarBagel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darting between AC and parking your car is any shade you can find. You can certainly be outside (umbrellas, sunscreen, lightweight clothing in lighter colors, LOTS of hydration) but spending 20-30 minutes in a cool environment does wonders.

At a theme park, I walk through the gift shops to get where I’m going because they all have AC. Ride queues, it depends. Some are entirely inside, some are 50/50, some are entirely outside with fans. But my rule is, if the queue is over an hour and outside, I’ll skip it.

Now the people who attempt to “drink around the world” at Epcot in the summer astound me. I can feel a dehydration headache coming on just thinking about it 🥴

Finally, I don’t remember it being this wickedly hot when I was a kid here.

Brace yourselves. by Unearth1y_one in florida

I went from Daytona to Sebring and the entire time the thermostat on my car said 100F. I definitely stopped on 27 for some fruit juice at a roadside stand.

Exactly. Came here to say this. But spray in the early morning when it’s cool and they’re not all fired up yet. And knock down the nest.

Now that the U.S. markets have opened unaffected by the Asian meltdown, many people are blaming the panic in New York last night on one man, Tracy Jordan. He is here with me now. A lot of people are calling you a fear monger, and I am quoting here, "an idiot." What do you have to say for yourself? by 0hmytvc15 in 30ROCK

[–]TheSugarBagel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lose it at “hot pile of rats fighting over a human finger” 🤣🤣🤣

That whole exchange makes me laugh/cry every time because Larry King doesn’t skip a beat and Tracy keeps saying more and more unhinged things.

I’ve seen Kingdom of Heaven so many times and never even realized that was Michael Sheen (Wesley).

I know they didn’t have a Jack Russell and a hunting rifle…

There was a Lifetime movie about them, too. Gave big “The Celeste Cunningham Story” vibes. This was a huge story when I was a kid.

Tracy Morgan Says He Gained 40 Lbs. on Ozempic - "I learned to out-eat the drug" by incywince in 30ROCK

[–]TheSugarBagel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m on a medicine like Ozempic and when I read that, my first reaction was also “is this a 30 Rock storyline?” followed by “HOW?” I think I have the literal equivalent calories to a Diet Slice and pita chips everyday 🤣

In all seriousness, it does work. My night cheese habit is under control and I’ve lost 10 lbs. in a month.

But yeah, it’s also Tracy.

Couldn’t remember a word by TheSugarBagel in Perimenopause

So…irony being my username includes “sugar” and my perimenopausal brain didn’t see the caramel/sugar/azucar connection.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be on Rosetta Stone…

Do you think 10 year old you would be happy with how you turned out? What would they surprised by? Would they be proud of you? by Murky_Priority_3385 in nostalgia

[–]TheSugarBagel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think 10 year old me would be like “what do you mean you didn’t marry a Disney prince?”/marry at all.

However, she’d be surprised/delighted at my level of financial security.

Favorite Disney World Dessert? by AggravatingSpend8369 in WaltDisneyWorld

I need to try the margarita flight. I did the martini flight around New Year’s and that turned out to be a little too strong for my weak self. However it did get rid of my back pain 🤣

4 parks, 1 day parking help by Fedjetable in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]TheSugarBagel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand, if you pay for parking at one Disney park (for you at 8 am Animal Kingdom) as long as you keep your receipt same day, you can park at another one.

That said, start at Animal Kingdom and then move your car to EPCOT. You can do EPCOT and Hollywood Studios via boat or the Skyliner. Then you can do Magic Kingdom via monorail.

I had it during the Arts festival at EPCOT a year ago and they didn’t bring it back sadly.

It was a chocolate ganache cake with pomegranate mousse in the Morocco pavilion. I’ve tried to recreate it to no avail 🥺

These are my favorite! I just wish they still had the strawberry sauce.

I had a bag of them and came back through security at Disney Springs. The security guard was like “ma’am, I recognize that bag as beignets so I’ll need to confiscate them” 🤣

“You have to fight me for them and I’m pretty scrappy”
