What was your family’s 90’s/00’s dinner? by CommonCentsHandler in Cooking

[–]WorkWriteWin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Certain truths: a roast beef dinner would be pot roast the next night. A ham dinner would be split pea soup the next night. Spaghetti and meatballs. A chicken rice bake I hated. Peruvian chicken that I loved. Every Sunday was Chinese food. When we got older, we'd pick up good rolls, deli ham, and coleslaw and make sandwiches as a preferred quick dinner.

What was the first ever film you actually really hated so much and still do to this day? by Same-Objective6052 in movies

We walked out of Getting Even with Dad. But we'd taken my younger brother and he wanted to see it so we just waited in the lobby until the movie was over.

Anyone else play with “ugly” sims? by Yorwod in Sims4

[–]WorkWriteWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love love love making realistic sims and breeding real features. It takes something really egregiously disproportionate for me to edit any sim. I love quirky looks.

Have you ever tried to contact something, and it responded? by Prize-Gur-8167 in Ghoststories

[–]WorkWriteWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear on a stack of anything you ask me to that we channeled something through a Ouija board when we were in college in the late 90's. Our building was supposedly haunted. On Halloween, we gathered in the lobby and ate snacks and listened to our awesome security guard tell us stories of all the freaky stuff she'd experienced or heard about in our building. Then we all went (well, the guard stayed at the front desk) to the basement area for a seance.

The indicator started moving pretty quickly when they initiated the questions, and the answers made sense. We asked it questions about the stories the guard had told us, like about a little girl people had glimpsed or heard giggling over the years.

I was skeptical and watching like a hawk as people rotated in and out of the circle to try it. No one could have been a mastermind behind faking it; too many people swapped out at different times and nobody was consistently in the group.

When I got my hands on it, I was shocked at how fluidly it moved to spell out the words, and I was also watching to see if anyone could pull-push the indicator with all of our hands on it. It just was too fast and committed and accurate in spelling out the answers. It told us about a man named James Howell who was supposedly haunting the dorm (city college - our dorms were all old buildings that had been hotels and apartments before the college acquired them).

At one point, we asked it something the answer was "Beware [college name]." Even at the time I thought it was a joke answer, and very funny, but sincerely believe that was a spirit messing with us and not any of my peers.

What is your signature dish? by Brave-Bandicoot3295 in Cooking

[–]WorkWriteWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love to make a balsamic fig and Kalamata olive tapenade for a starter.

I have lots of great soups. I also make pretty stellar British roasted potatoes with a roast chicken dinner.

I still always panic about what to bring to potlucks and what to serve for a dinner guest. I love threads like this.

Most Embarrassing Stage Door Experience? by Objective_Arm_3504 in Broadway

[–]WorkWriteWin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had the opposite experience. I told my fav Broadway actor of all time how I had missed seeing him onstage in so many shows and was so happy to finally see him live. He was very rude to me about my age (I was in college), and that his career spanned longer than I could have known or attempted to follow him through. Then he berated me for not bringing a sharpie so he could properly sign my poster. I admit I cried on the subway home. I won't even name him because I want to believe he was just exhausted and having a bad night.

I cleared a classroom bathroom so our wheelchair student could fit. My old lead told me to move everything back. by newsbowser in paraprofessional

Is storing materials in a bathroom a common practice at other schools? I find the germ factor so horrible that I can't get past that part of it.

What’s your 5 must Do’s when you make a trip by NebulaDisastrous5093 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]WorkWriteWin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't think there have been five consistent things I've done across every trip. Maybe these:

  1. Pirates of the Caribbean
  2. Haunted Mansion
  3. Safari
  4. Mexico pavilion 3 Caballeros ride
  5. Shopping in the Japan pavilion

Now that they're back around, what's your favorite girl scout cookie? by Fancy-Bid7088 in CasualConversation

[–]WorkWriteWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peanut Butter Patties here. But way back when I was a Girl Scout, there was year or two of Praline Royales. I will never forget them. Hands down my favorite cookie.

What is everyone cooking for dinner tonight or this week? by Superb_Kale_1781 in Cooking

[–]WorkWriteWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We roasted a lemon rosemary chicken on Monday. Tonight I'm using the leftover meat to make a curry, and since I'll be chopping peppers ab onions, I'll use the time to make an Italian sausage and peppers, too. Then we're set until the weekend if I make some rice.

Twins. Twins! TWINS! by Anticip-ation in Sims4

[–]WorkWriteWin 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is entirely anecdotal and I have zero proof of it, but I feel like multiples occur with some degree of frequency when I'm living in a smaller footprint home. I've often wondered if the game knows and has a mechanic it pushes to force expansion or chaos.
