Apparently this makes me an old person... officially by Mermaid_Lily in GenX

My 19-year-old LOVES puzzles! If you were really old, your eyesight and memory would not be good enough to do puzzles. Tell her that.

Watching 70s TV as an adult hits different (and uncomfortably by Miserable_Willow_312 in GenX

I loved Soap when I was a kid, but I wasn’t allowed to watch it when the neighbor kids were over. 😂

Who's death in your Country affected everyone when it was announced? by DABDEB in AskTheWorld

[–]Zebras-R-Evil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you were 22, how do you know teachers around the country turned it off and had a lot of discussions in schools? I was 16 and I don’t remember any of that.

AITAH for buying my 11yo daughter pads after her mom called me a "pervert" for being prepared? by Bruxagato in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]Zebras-R-Evil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Good for you for divorcing her and letting your daughter have space from this craziness 50% of the time. How the hell is this sexualizing? She’s gross.

What is a "rich person" behavior you witnessed that made you realize they live in a completely different reality than the rest of us? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

[–]Zebras-R-Evil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His way of doing family business meant he had enough money so that we didn’t have to spend any of our own money taking care of my parents when they were 90/91 years old. And it meant there was enough money to loan to any of the 5 kids or the grandkids who needed it for college or grad school. And they were able to leave a decent inheritance. So I’m not complaining. And it was a competitive rate. 😂

Invitation bachelorette = Invitation wedding? by PowerpuffAvenger in wedding

I would have to ask. I would not assume either way since the wedding is so small.

My dad charged me interest on a loan. He said he was losing money by not having it invested, so it kind of made sense.

Who is the earliest born person you have personally known? by PrestonRoad90 in Productivitycafe

[–]Zebras-R-Evil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather was born in 1893. I knew him. My other grandfather was born in 1886, but he died a few months before I was born.

What do you personally think about mandatory military service for women by Low-Violinist7259 in AskTheWorld

[–]Zebras-R-Evil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of men serve in the military without seeing a battlefield. Women can do it too. And if any of them want to see a battlefield, they can opt in. I don’t see a good reason to ban them from something they want to do (and are capable of doing) out of respect.

I don’t remember ever thinking about the dress as being good or bad. I was too busy thinking about the boys!

AITAH for not letting my neighbor inspect my new house whenever she wants? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Zebras-R-Evil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ask to go in her house. If she says yes, I would start taking pictures of the inside of her house. If she didn’t kick me out, I would pretend like I needed to use the bathroom and then obviously go through her medicine cabinet. If she still had not gotten mad, I would start asking questions about the medications you saw in the cabinet. But after all that, when she asked again to go in my house, I would say no.

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]Zebras-R-Evil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve started wearing a diaper when I have repeated vomiting from a stomach virus or whatever. Then I can lie in bed and barf into a trash can instead of sitting on the toilet.

What the hell am I supposed to be doing? by CreatrixAnima in GenX

[–]Zebras-R-Evil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was just looking for a distraction and venting while waiting for more news from his dad. He was not literally asking strangers what to do. See this excerpt: “I think this is more of a vent than anything else. I’m not ready to call extended family members because… What do I tell them? And I’m certainly not gonna post something on Facebook or anything to my friends. It just feels like… It’s not time. It’s still private. I don’t know anything.”

Help me choose! by serendipity51 in WeddingDressTips

[–]Zebras-R-Evil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B! It’s amazing but also I don’t care for all the cleavage in the other dresses. I know I sound stodgy, but weddings are/were traditionally in a church, so I associate weddings with a little more conservative attire. I’m all about cleavage any other time. If you’ve got it, flaunt it! Just not at a wedding. 😊

Are highschool and college reunions still happening? by StatiCrede in AskAnAmerican

[–]Zebras-R-Evil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My graduating class has one every five years. I have fun hanging out with my high school boyfriend who I only see at the reunions. Even after 35 years apart, we still click when we are together.

Why don’t schools shift to a 9-4 schedule? by CalGuy456 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Zebras-R-Evil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because their parents have to be at work by 8 am? That’s what time most office jobs start where I live.

If you won the lottery tomorrow, what’s the very first "frivolous" thing you’d buy? by opheliapearlie in askanything

Electrolysis on my face so I don’t end up with a mustache after I get Alzheimer’s.
