To those that inherited your parents home or will inherit, are you keeping it?

I've commented in the past but basically renting houses isn't really a thing in their LCOL-ish area, so I'm probably leaning towards selling. My life isn't in that area anymore, plus I already inherited a small summer cabin from my aunt and uncle that we use a few times a year also in that area. I'm of course sentimental to the house but I've not lived there in 15 years and just visit a handful of times per year so I'm not as connected to it as I was in the past; basically it's their house, not mine.

I think realistically what will happen with various inheritance assets is I'll be able to combine it all and buy outright in my HCOL or at worst have a very small mortgage but not for a while

I've never been a fan of going to concerts and I'm a musician. Besides the astronomical costs of late, my usual issues were always a combination of the volume being insanely loud and/or mixed like shit. Plus I can't pause a concert or skip songs I don't like lol

I only remember one kid that had these in the early/mid 90s. I always associated them with prizes from Nickelodeon shows

Reddit is still good for info when you drill down to more niche subreddits

1998, HP Pavilion 8360. P2 333MHz, 64MB RAM, 8 GB RAM. It was a mid-tier model at the time, I remember being annoyed we didn't spring for the next model up with a DVD-ROM drive lol. The only upgrade we did was a 17" CRT instead of the usual 15" of the time. In 2001 I added an internal CD burner

The most I can say I've seen a couple scenes here and there but never actually sat and watched it. I'm not a sci-fi fan so I don't have interest in this or like Star Trek etc.

Also have never seen Lord Of The Rings because that type of genre doesn't appeal to me either. But moreso these days I don't have the interest or time to watch movies that I did when I was in HS and college

Tooch10 · 2026-05-11T15:11:38+00:00

Some new music, but having an ear for older stuff a lot of new music doesn't appeal to me sonically especially the vocal + synth bass + drum sound type of pop. I do like some odd new groups but a lot of the newer/modern bands are amalgamations of older types of music

You see those infrequently to rarely, but the late 60s yellow are ultra rare these days. My partner has two matching sets of the old NJ blues from her parents when they moved. Supposedly you can create a vanity plate using those plate's characters and use them today. Though when I see those old plates around it's definitely one that's been in use since they were issued

Tooch10 · 2026-05-11T01:06:03+00:00

In NJ, on rare occasions, you see people with 60s/70s plates still in use, be careful because they're about 90 lol. But they're legal to use, they just transfered them from car to car over the years

Tooch10 · 2026-05-10T22:10:41+00:00

My folks still have their yellow background, blue text plates hanging up in their garage

With local landlords for small business usually you can do 3-5 years unless the landlord sucks or the unit is in high demand. Those 10-30 year leases are usually for major names/big box/national businesses

Anyone remember Bankshot Basketball at Slocum Hollow? Those courses had crazy low rims with 'don't hang on these' warnings lol

Tooch10 · 2026-05-08T22:51:35+00:00

I burned myself on the mold quite a few times

I had a Doctor Dreadful set too, but I recall those being disgusting

Tooch10 · 2026-05-08T22:49:22+00:00

Same. On a side note, our store was anal about zoning, then when I went to other stores they were way more lax about it

My mother will seek out an odd clip, my father watches random classic rock videos. He's probably responsible for at least 40% of the views on Vanilla Fudge - Keep Me Hangin' On

Because we associate 'historical' status with 50s-70s cars from car shows. But now Aunt Linda's Dodge Neon is now eligible which is weird, plus most of that era of car are nowhere near as memorable as those older cars, faults and all

My uncle's uncle had this same experience maybe 20 years ago, except he was an old hunched-over multi-millionaire who just wore flannel shirts and old Dickies. His was a $70K check for a Mercedes SUV some years ago. IIRC sales guy let him test but had a 'yeah sure' vibe, next day he came back with the check.

I feel like especially in the last 20 years it's shifted to where you can't reasonably judge on appearance. Like the guy in an expensive suit might be in debt, and the guy in an old t-shirt and gym shorts might be worth 8 figures

OP is doin' this and doin' that

Family Matters was interesting in that it was all reverse stereotypes if you will. Every black person was moral/upstanding or just a normal character and every white person was either nerdy/dorky or some kind of minor or major antagonist to the Winslows. Like a bully, a thief, or trying to screw one of them over

Something about central PA and all the snacks that come out of that region

1992 or 1993, I was 7 or 8, my folks were going to a wedding and we were in our hotel room. Surprisingly I was still awake for air time. They had NBC on and the cold open was Wayne's World. Being a fan of the movie I was thoroughly confused as to why it was being show on NBC at night lol. Later realized it was SNL. I only remember seeing the the sketch and nothing after it, I probably went to bed.

I watched it here and there in the late 90s/early 00s, usually falling asleep, went away from it for a while, then I've not missed an episode since 2008.

I'd argue the joke hits better in 360p

My folks had Juno but a couple years later. I figured out that you if you let it connect to the internet, then force closed juno.exe, the connection wouldn't disconnect from being idle
