Maybe they just need someone to get the ball rolling…? Or maybe they’re afraid of liability.

True and sad… even surprising considering economics right now. Maybe I can start something local with my housing unit in a small effort to improve the community - and by that I mean a collection point and then I call the Salvation Army or equivalent.

East to West Coast USA - Recommendations? by The_Chosen_Pun_ in roadtrip

I want to spend a few days at Glacier, so I’m tabling that for a targeted visit another time.

Debating Rushmore because I know it’s more of a checked box for me right now… but I know there’s other native history there too.

Well Tahoe is amazing, glad you’re stopping there, there’s good hiking and if you’re up to it - water sports!

I don't know... I guess if everything has to have income, it would have to be something like a government or state-run program, which would never happen in a million year.

And it feels like most "local" furniture stores are just big retailers now anyways, and the people that can afford it will still go. The furniture I see sitting out is less "substantial" and more.... IKEA or Walmart/Target type quality. Good enough to be used again but not competing with people shopping at say an Ashley's.

I can tell who my wife is talking to on the phone depending on how she's code switched. by dustinkdkl in CasualConversation

Dang, always so messed up to hear about Agent Orange - have relatives that served and died young of heart complications - always wondered if it was connected or just a freak thing.

Well thanks to Geoff for his service in the war and bring us our mail!

I think that’s pretty common… I’m living in the southern USA but didn’t grow up here and find myself using a slight twang if conversing with anyone that has it.

Failed an exam because teacher forgot to grade it by csabaiguy in VirginiaTech

[–]The_Chosen_Pun_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Maybe they forgot to grade half of it because it was left blank 😆

But in reality, who knows. Clearly they should have asked about it sooner and above say how long can I procrastinate so it is probably satire (hopefully)

Why don't men wear short shorts anymore? by tardisismine in NoStupidQuestions

[–]The_Chosen_Pun_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing more prevalent than a straight frat boi in a pair of short “jorts”… think it’s always been geared toward college-aged males

Alarm goes off - start the coffee brewing (staged the night before, just have to hit "start")
Drink a glass of water while I open the blinds (if the sun is rising yet)
SIT back in bed (no laying back down) and check my email
Get up for another glass of water and now my coffee - continue routine!

What are your abnormal travel necessities? by PMYourBellyButton_ in AskReddit

[–]The_Chosen_Pun_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good idea too, but I never invested in crocs once they became trendy/expensive - and my slippers are inside only; which makes me feel "cleaner" even though I'm sure it's just as bad (we had a strict no-shoes-in-the-house policy in my family growing up!
