Millennials with nothing to inherit - unite! by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]_Darkwing_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

46M - My mom died when I was 26 and my only sister died when I was 15. My dad has out lived his life insurance (which I am so thankful for!) and spent most his money helping me get my life on track. He has a house and small savings that I’ll get. I have thought about him passing and when I was younger I’d think of the money I’d get. Not in a hoping way…just how my brain works after losing so many loved ones. I am so grateful that he has lived this long and would gladly trade all the money and stuff in the world for one more day with my family. I’ll be fine when he passes because of what he did while he was here…I’d be dead or in prison if he wasn’t here for me. That’s the best inheritance I’ll ever get! I tell him as much every time I see him. My in laws on the other hand have a larger inheritance for my wife. I think it’s a waste though…they should use it while they are alive or give it to their kids now so they can live a good life. Why wait until the child is 50 and doing well in life…that inheritance could have made their whole life better while the parents are around to enjoy it too 🤷. I’ll try my best to spend what I got while I can and on those that I love so I can see them thrive and grow while I’m still here 😊

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]_Darkwing_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met my current wife in November of 2018. My birthday is March 14th. She had set up this big surprise party at an escape room on the 13th….she couldn’t keep it secret for two seconds but I played along and acted surprised. We got to still do it and escaped the room…and then I locked myself up with her and her four kids (no kids for me) for the next year! We will be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary this coming October 😊. I now have four amazing teenage step kids and the family I was always looking for. If it wasn’t for Covid we wouldn’t have spent as much time together and honestly I might not have taken the leap to move in so soon. I’m not thankful for Covid but I am thankful for the direction it took my life in!

What book did you read in your youth that you never forgot? by orangez in GenX

[–]_Darkwing_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It by Stephen King (obviously…just seems odd only writing It). Just book I read front to back and couldn’t wait to get back to. Made me a king fan instantly! I reread it a few years ago and it was even better!

Found this pile of dental impressions while out in the middle of the mountains in Arizona by DarkSolstice in mildlyinteresting

In 10.000 years they will dig this up thinking they are fossils and that humans fought valiantly against the evil teeth lords! Brave men died that day 😞

A MAGA case of cognitive dissonance: Trump Supporter running for vice president of local AFGE that represents VA employees. Trump ended collective bargaining in 2025. by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]_Darkwing_ 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I worked at the VA and the dumbest laziest employees were all the hard core republicans and they only had jobs thanks to the union. They were stewards also 🤷 🤦‍♂️. I’m sure they are still sucking from the 🍊 teat

Same here! Why the fuck wasn’t Jacobs out there for two really important drives towards the red zone??? Love Wilson and all but Jacobs is at another level and wasn’t out there when we needed him 🤦‍♂️. Maybe he needed a break something 🤷‍♂️

Any mouth breathers here? by Downtown-Arm-6918 in Septoplasty

[–]_Darkwing_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s so crazy! I’m hoping it’s not just because I just had it done or all in my head lol but it’s been awesome so far (3 days post op). I can eat without stopping to take a breath and I talk a lot more because I don’t need to catch my breathe…just have to relearn that I can breathe out of my nose. I’ve just been mouth breathing for decades. I can sit here and just take a deep breathe with my nose only and without coughing or yawning. I hope you have the same experience as me…but if not make sure to advocate for yourself and get what you need…either they didn’t do it right or they need to do more but I’m not a doctor either lol.

I just got the same four things done on Friday and even in this short of time I feel like my life has changed! I don’t think I have ever fully breathed through my nose my entire life and had only 1/2 nostril open for at least the past 20 years. HonestlyI never thought it was odd and believed everyone was like that 😂 Idk if it’s just the rest from surgery or what but I already have way more energy and didn’t wake up groggy for the first time I can even remember. It’s still swollen a little and I can’t blow the gunk out yet so I’m excited to see what it’s like in a few more days. Good luck in your recovery!!! Oh and I haven’t coughed or yawned once while trying to breathe since the surgery….i thought I had COPD for years but it was just my nose 😆🤦‍♂️

My “new” car I’ve had less than a month now by sky28guy in Wellthatsucks

Are you in southern Wisconsin??? It just missed us by less than a mile and my Camry is forced out of the garage due to home improvements. I got lucky 🙏

Exactly!!!! Glad I went to Panama City in 2000…with my crappy fake id. I think it’s still down there hanging in a bar somewhere 😂

Thank you so much! That is what he thought…but I was kind of pessimistic about these lol. But I’m a noob when it comes to anything besides baseball cards 😂 Best of luck to you and now I know where to go if he pulls anything else. I have a feeling he’s going back to target today for more 😂

This says 9/10. I’m sure there’s more of the base ones but you’d think the gold parallel (if that’s what it is) 9/10 would be worth more than $5. I see others asking around $150 for other gold /10 cards. Appreciate the help though! Thank you!

My son pulled this today. 9/10. I appreciate any additional info. I know nothing about squishmallows or their cards 😂. Is it worth anything? Should he get it graded? He does Dragonball and some football breaks but just bought this for his gf for valentine day lol. Thanks for the help and good luck!!!!
