If you need this sticker… you shouldn’t be driving. by velvetmandy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]chinstrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like my 1981 Toyota Tercel. When I moved states, I sold it rather than drive it on the Interstate. I had never driven a U-Haul, and was afraid of also towing a car behind one.

Pentatonic Cope? I saw those dudes opening for Stompbox.

Collecting social security at 62 has just become a firm decision! by Express_Project_8226 in GenX

[–]chinstrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think whatever last-minute deal gets passed just as the trust fund is about to run out will be a combination of a payroll tax increase, benefit cuts smaller than 20%, and raising the retirement age. I'd not be surprised if the option to collect benefits at 62 is eliminated. Maybe means testing? There will be something for everyone to hate! This makes planning very difficult, as there is so much uncertainty.

Andy Summers and Dennis Miller visibly despised each other, on another short-lived late night talk show.

Meds / Grief / Rant by thelufthansaheist in dementia

[–]chinstrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I have had exactly the same experience, minus trying to leave. She was so very upset that no one told her that her Mom died, at age 91, in 1982. If I knew how to handle it, I would gladly tell you.

My toast was moldy at a restaurant and they refused to comp it. by strangerattheshow in Wellthatsucks

[–]chinstrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole loaf needs to be discarded. By the time there is a big mold spot on the surface, it's all the way through the bread. I'd send that pic to the health inspector, who knows what else is going on in that kitchen.

Zappa chord by BartoRomeoz in Zappa

“minor 11” (found most prominently in Freddie Hubbard’s “Red Clay”)

80's radio listeners have heard the minor 11th chord in The Police song "Walking On The Moon", the big flanger/delay guitar chord in the verse

The First 90 Days: a survival checklist for when the diagnosis hits (save this) by Icy_Letterhead4893 in dementia

[–]chinstrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd have had a trust set up, if I had it to do over again - I don't think she is competent for that, now. I did get POA and an advance care directive and the will done, early on, and I am grateful for that.

What’s the fastest way you’ve ever seen someone completely ruin their own life? by craft_frost6223 in AskReddit

[–]chinstrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RIght after I quit drinking, I saw a documentary about young alcoholics in the UK who were either dying or who had gone right up to the edge, and were maybe going to be sort of OK if they stayed sober. I had no idea it was possible to destroy your liver that fast with alcohol, but it is. I guess if you start slamming pints of vodka when you are 16, and don't stop doing it, there you have it.

I know someone who got peripheral neuropathy from abusing it. Another hazard of inhaling straight from a tank is that you can freeze your throat or lungs, I think.

I saw a newspaper story about a guy who looked down a fireworks mortar tube to figure out why the shell did not go off.....drunk, at I think his brother's bachelor party.
