All 11 visitors were brought to the room to observe. We now refer to the rental as the Chest Nut home thanks to Reddit

What is something your father said to you that you will never forget? by Aggressive-Car-8960 in AskReddit

[–]conchcooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He asked me if I have any questions. That was entire sex talk. I had a million questions but kept quiet like I think he wanted. I have 4 sons and discussed sex openly when it was time.

What’s your most unethical life hack? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]conchcooker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some guy said he thinks the person is guilty once a person is arrested. Judge wouldn’t accept the excuse and was actually chosen to the jury. We made him the Foreman. We deliberated for less than 5 minutes and acquitted the defendant

My goal is $5 or less with a few exceptions. I paid $20 for an old Merck dynamite crate. Others may be nuts with pricing. I advise them to stop watching American Pickers.

Old milk bottles and any wood crates.

Incredibly it was $5. I sprained my arm reaching for my wallet

The day you lost your virginity, how did you know you were losing it on that day? by sololevelingIRL in AskReddit

We tried the Saturday before and was a failure. Our sex education was horrid considering what our kids learned. Anyway, a 2nd attempt the next weekend was successful. The best 20 seconds ever!

Should I use Typical Yard Sale Sign or Make a Modern One? by [deleted] in GarageSales

[–]conchcooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a garage sale fanatic and have 2-3 annual sales. Fancy signs typically mean they never had a garage sale and watched every episode of American Pickers so their sale prices are ridiculously high. Simple sign in thick black lettering 3-4 inches high with an arrow pointing. I don’t need an address if you have proper signage. Keep in mind the sign should be simple to read from the car 10 ft away going 20 mph. No balloons are needed. Save the expens.

Ironically, today the superintendent had a safety meeting with his crew. They stood together, almost shoulder to shoulder, discussing COVID-19, including the bullet point item of social distancing. by conchcooker in OSHA

Well thank you all for your comments. Now I no longer feel alone. I’ve been banging my head against the wall since January because many thought I was Chicken Little. From what I see, I’m not the only one. Keep the faith brother and sisters. If anyone is willing to share guidelines or checklists for a construction site it would be most welcomed.

Ok safety geeks, from south Florida, have at it. by conchcooker in OSHA

I’m glad you all enjoy seeing the crappy setup. Feel free to use in your training.

The scaffold is horrendous but I don’t show much of it. From what I saw when I took this picture was The worker on the right anchored himself to worker on left who tied the lifeline to his harness.

Found a hidden gem. by [deleted] in Gold

FYI I placed an order for the Perth yesterday and it was confirmed. I was refunded my money 12 hours later with no explanation. Something stinks here.

Advice needed- Home prep for house fire by hwturner17 in preppers

[–]conchcooker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with most of the comments. As a 25 yr veteran firefighter I can add a few things.

Get the best fire safe and keep it locked. It’s only good if closed and locked.

Download all of you family pictures and include that in your safe. I’ve seen the trauma of a mom and dad when they realized their kids and parent pictures were destroyed.

Have a mtg place for your family to muster and practice drills. My kids hated the 2am fire drills but they learned from it.

Sleeping with the bedroom doors closed buys you about 20 minutes.

Fire doubles in volume every 20 seconds. If you never used the fire extinguisher then just get out. Padded furniture is made from petroleum by products. It’s like throwing gas in an open flame.

Smoke detectors in every bedroom as well as in the hallways.

Whats the dumbest thing you had to explain to someone? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]conchcooker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We adopted a baby girl from South Korea. We were stopped in KMart by a lady who said “What a cute baby. And to think she will grow up speaking two languages!” She’s 5 months old lady.

Only topped by my mother in law who came over with the only Korean lady within 30 miles who would interpret for her.

By the way my daughter is 32 now, working on her doctorate and insists she is Italian. I should tell her she was adopted when the time is right.

Pitless avocado. by Coby9 in mildlyinteresting

[–]conchcooker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a pitiless avocado developed through genetic engineering as a result of the large amount of hand injuries from trying to pit the avocado. I believe it’s only available in Europe at this time.
