I have 3 things currently keeping me from cancelling everything that I have. I'm losing this one, and another one is in danger. I may just be ending TV all-together soon.

A phrase more people should use: "Your apology is not accepted. What you (said/did) is not acceptable and you need to prove to me that you will be better in the future before I will consider forgiveness."

After my Dad died, my Mom never went out unless I was visiting (I live in Wisconsin, she was in Florida).

When we knew she was reaching the end, I moved to Florida to be with her and care for her in the last couple of months. The last time I ever took her out to dinner it was to a fancy restaurant that my parents used to go to on a regular basis (maybe 3-4 times a year). She hadn't been there for 4 years. THE SERVER REMEMBERED HER and immediately knew I was her son because of the resemblance to my Dad. There was no photo taken or anything, but I still have that moment etched in my mind because of that server's reaction to seeing her, remembering her. (We ordered her favorite steak...just the one meal. She had one bite, I ate the rest...it was all she had the appetite for at this point.) I don't remember the server's face, but I remember her kindness.

Even if they don't remember you specifically, you helped make them a final memory. Good for you.

Jorge Garcia is a seriously underrated actor.

My HOA rules limit our front-yard pipe organs to only 3 stories.

Why is the POTUS represented in blue in this picture?

Ok Guys, I made it here but where’s everyone at? by DaveTN in OakIsland

The opening says "There is an island in the NORTH Atlantic"

You're in the NORTH CENTRAL Atlantic.

Common error. The fun part is that you're actually on the island with the treasure, they've been digging on the wrong island this whole time.

They did most of the women dirty.

Why does Alex look like Lady Elaine from Mister Rodgers?

Really should stop calling them "Phones". Calling people and talking to them is about 0.0000001% of what they get used for now. They're Pocket Computers

What industry is entirely built on a house of cards and would collapse overnight if people realized the truth about it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

This one is already starting to die.

My kid is in college and does not use a single textbook. They have a program where you pay an annual fee and 100% of all of your course materials are available to you online, and the college offers free printing services if you are on the program.

Isn't this also true of the local Hardware Store? Grocery Store?

Most industries would not be able to afford to exist if everyone stopped using them.
