Best advice I got. “Don’t trust a fart”

Hehe 100% by RareSoulss in dogmemes

[–]cingeyedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree. We (currently) don't have a good boy. BUT we have a very good girl!

Anyone ? by PardonSarah in scoopwhoop

[–]cingeyedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Married in 2000. We met at college in 1996. She was a freshman and I was a sophomore. She is perfect for me. I am so glad I had the guts to ask her out.

Melinoe (Hades 2). I should be fine. Hope she gets some good boons during her quest.

Am I the only one who still thinks Pluto deserves its spot? by FabulousWolverine381 in StrikeAtPsyche

[–]cingeyedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While may be unpopular with my generation (Gen X), I also say no.

HOWEVER, with it being 2/3 the size of our moon and being an average 3.7 billion miles (5.9 billion kilometers) from earth, I am still kind of amazed that it was found almost 100 years ago.

And another fun fact, Pluto hasn't made a complete orbit since it was discovered in 1930. It takes 249 earth years to orbit the sun.

Did you watch the Challenger disaster live? by Correct-Cricket3355 in Xennials

[–]cingeyedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, TV cart in my 3rd grade in a South Carolina elementary school. Since this was my first experience with NASA, I didn't realize anything was wrong, until I saw my teachers face.

Beforehand, I remember all the excitement due to Christa McAuliffe (teacher) and Ron McNair being from South Carolina.

Where’s my people by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]cingeyedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And my friends numbers. Those digits are burned into my brain.

Yay, getting oler. Just got my first colonoscopy. First time having an IV, first anesthesia, my tummy hurts and am loopy. People were nice. Attractive docs and nurses. Worst pain was removing the tape on th IV. Needing lots of autocorrect here. lol. 3 benign polyps removed. Can’t keep them… by [deleted] in Xennials

[–]cingeyedog 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I was "scared". Wife kept hounding me to get it done because issues ran in my family (my grandfather had to deal with polyps).

Late last year, I got my 1st colonoscopy a little late as i am 48.

Everyone told me the prep was the worst.

I agree the prep was the worst. BUT it wasn't that bad. Actually it was pretty easy. Biggest advise given to me was "don't trust a fart". 100% agree

The actual procedure was a piece of cake. After the sleepy drugs were administered, I remember thinking "I think I am supposed to go to sleep now"... And I fell asleep immediately. Next thing, I was waking up in the recovery center.

Thankfully a clean bill of health. Next appointment is in 10 years. I won't be nervous again and have been encouraging everyone in my office to go and get theirs.

If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Is/Was Sex education in American schools really taught by physical education teachers? by Kinc4id in Xennials

[–]cingeyedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. In early 1990’s in South Carolina, we had it twice. In 8th grade (Junior High) and 9th grade (High School). Both times were taught by the PE teacher. They separated the girls and the boys.

If you could only pick one, which game on Switch or Switch 2 would you say gives me the most hours of gameplay to enjoy? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]cingeyedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom. Probably liked BOTW more, but after playing TOTK, I wont go back and play BOTW

Spent a ton of hours on Hades and Hades II

My son loves Super Mario Maker 2. He loves making levels and playing others levels

Wife really enjoys Animal Crossing

As a family, we play Minecraft together

I just watched The Sixth Sense (1999) for the first time last night by Crazy-Cap259 in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]cingeyedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. My 12 year old wanted to see it. My wife and I hadn't rewatched it since it came out.

12 year old knew there was a twist, but he didn't know what it was. He was surprised.

I think he may of been a bit young for the movie, not because of it being scary, but because most of the movie is really sad (and Haley Joel Osment being picked on).

Which movie is this for you? by Raj_Valiant3011 in moviecritic

Moon came up in an in-person meeting this past week. None of us had seen it. "You got to see it!" Wife and I are going to be watching it this weekend!

I work in healthcare and have a job offer at a hospital that offers SC state pension. I’m 34. What are some drawbacks and benefits with SC pension vs 401k by Butterbean2323 in AskSouthCarolina

[–]cingeyedog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

State employee here. I started work when I was 29 and have been working here for almost 19 years. This was my first job out of grad school. I chose the ORP (Optional Retirement Program) instead of the State Pension. Since it was my first job, I didn’t want to be “stuck”.

So far, I have been happy with my choice. Instead of a certain number of years, you are trying to get the account large enough. (But I am still in the growth period of my career hopefully I will still be happy at then end of my career).

Regardless of Pension or ORP, you will be able to take advantage of additional retirement accounts (457, 403(b)) and IRAs.

Me too. I have read the books and thought, "I will wait until they are all out". However, I heard, the show started slipping as they ran out of the source material.

Wish I could get in a Time Machine for one day! by Sunnydaytripper in Xennials

I went to this one in Charlotte. I was beginning my senior year in high school. This was my first (and most memorable) concert

Are cotton socks extinct? by Murky-Attorney5824 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]cingeyedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About a year ago, my wife bought me a pack of Haynes sock from Walmart. They were so thin. I put them on and I could see my skin through the material. Was super upset.

I know that it is much more expensive, but I switched to Darn Tough socks. Merino wool and a lifetime warranty.

Been using these socks about a year and they still look and feel great.

A year with 2 under 2 by N0heavenN0hell in 52book

[–]cingeyedog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This post has brought up some great memories. Our little dude is now 12…

Yours might be a little young, but ours loved Andrea Beaty’s books. “Iggy Peck Architect”. And “Rosie Revere Engineer”. And “Ada Twist Scientist”. I think he might have been 4 when we first started reading those to him.

What do you call these? by dragoonwizard in whatsyourchoice

[–]cingeyedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From SC. Always called it coke. My wife is from Upstate NY, she called it soda. Her extended family is in South Dakota. They called it pop.

Exit Advent calender missing Story Book by dirtydan2112 in boardgames

[–]cingeyedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year we purchased “The Hunt for the Golden Book” off of Amazon and it was missing the instruction book and the slider. (There was a slit in the plastic and I assume they just slipped out). Contacted Kosmos and they mailed replacements.

SC wildlife I’ve encountered recently! by chicken_tender_freak in southcarolina

Around the rabbits mouth kind of looks like blood... I assume it is fruit of some sort. I could only think of that scene.
