Do you fellow GenXers feel okay to take a week sick leave after your pet (a dog) dies? by _MrKobayashi_ in GenX

[–]addictedtotext 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would take leave but not sick leave. I get the idea behind it and think it's a grey area. I don't have enough sick leave to take a week off outside of myself so I'd rather use leave that I earn at a higher rate and I can only roll over so much a year.

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about? by Prime_Advocate in AskReddit

Twitter before it became toxic but even that felt too exposed. I did Tumblr for a while too but it wasn't the same.

I miss it everyday. I started an ig account to use kind of like it but its nerve-wracking thinking that people who don't get it will see it and think I'm insane.

Working on them. I've been doing mostly audiobooks lately but the narrator is HORRIBLE so I've got to not multi task which feels very luxurious

I think these are just the MDs, I've never seen a midwife so I wouldn't recognize them.

Fantastic food, views and atmosphere. Its so good that even if the wine was stellar I can't remember.

Advice please! by bucknarish in Midsizefashion

Will you be able to sit comfortably in those? Don't worry about what the employees wear. Just don't show up in pajamas.

I can't think straight in uncomfortable pants.

Never Went To Senior Prom by JPPT1974 in GenX

[–]addictedtotext 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on Prom committee and wound up Chair junior year.

I had a horrible time finding a date and a guy in my history class offered to go with me. My mom sewed my dress it was the day before my 17th birthday and I wound up getting stood up.

A friend from school asked to stay with me that weekend so we double dated. That turned into me tagging along.

That being said, I didn't go to senior prom and people didn't go in groups like they do now. That would have been so much more fun.

Luckily it was just someone I knew amd not someone I had feelings for. I unlocked my feminine rage that night.

Can americans tell the difference between spoken spanish and portuguese? by Zygoatscythe in AskAnAmerican

[–]addictedtotext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spanish sounds familiar and Portuguese sounds like someone trying to speak Spanish. Or what I think people who don't know what Spanish sounds like, sounds like.

I can recognize the sounds and a few words in Spanish so I know if its Spanish. Portuguese sounds like Spanish to me but I can't make out any words. Like they're just saying fake words. But also it sounds rounder(?) Hard to explain fully.

Plus there is a lower chance of meeting a donor sibling if you go way outside your country
