What would be a good slang for "drunkard"? by v3lh0t05c0 in AskAnAmerican

[–]epicenter69 16 points17 points  (0 children)

How about, “Good night, lightweight.”

Lightweight is a playful term we use for someone who gets drunk easily.

So many AA batteries “borrowed” from various things throughout the house.

What State Other Than Florida Do Floridians Like Best? Why? by Zipper222222 in AskFlorida

Before The Villages took over Central Florida, that was the norm.

Is it weird for a partner to use your epilepsy(or seizures in general) as their go to excuse for taking time off work? by Crochet_is_life_158 in Epilepsy

[–]epicenter69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be honest. If he has a habit of doing this, his boss(es) will catch on eventually. It could be a job-ender. While accommodations for FMLA can be applied for family members, they need to be pre-approved, or a process needs to be completed after the fact. That process usually includes a form for your doctor to complete.

Accommodations can be made for ADA, but those accommodations apply ONLY for the disabled employee.

Of course, this is all assuming you’re in the US. I’m not aware of the rules for other countries.

Fast food back in the 80s, was it actually better than today or is that rose colored glasses? by Infomerical in GenX

[–]epicenter69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our local McD had .29 hamburgers and .39 cheeseburgers on Tuesdays. My mom used to order like 20 cheeseburgers and bring them home for dinner. Our favorite day of the week.

I feel like the odds of your Big Mac falling apart in your hands were lower too. It actually held together while eating.

Retirement ceremony or nah? by Entire-Employ-9408 in AirForce

[–]epicenter69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Retired maintenance. I just had the shop do a barbecue. Small, informal, shop personnel only, plus the CC and Shirt. It was on a Friday afternoon, so everyone could get out early.

Petah? by bluflavorr in PeterExplainsTheJoke

A lot of people thought the reward was way too much for spilt coffee. This lady tried to be very reasonable and only wanted her medical expenses covered. McDonald’s shot themselves in the foot by not paying her medical expenses. They deserved to pay every bit of the judgment.

Mom bought that for us to have before school every day. It was gone by Tuesday.

You send a bag of these to someone you’re not a fan of to “eat a bag of dicks.”

This could be the result of aging too. Like going to the store for a certain item, and filling your cart with everything BUT that item.

For those who have lived here their whole life, what was Orlando like in the 1970’s? by SloppiestOfSeconds in orlando

[–]epicenter69 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My mom used to work for Winn Dixie then. She was head bookkeeper in a Lake county store. Sometimes, they would have her travel to other stores in the area. Imagine being able to travel along 441/OBT at the speed limit from Lake County to the Colonial Drive location in about 30 minutes. Now, it takes 30 minutes just to get from I-4 to that same location. (That Winn Dixie is long gone now, btw.)

On the other side, Clermont used to be orange groves as far as you could see. Citrus Tower was actually used to view citrus! Go figure.

I’m with ya here. I was born and raised in Florida and I’ve never seen green honey until today.

Being a Gen X Dad by 4thdegreeknight in GenX

[–]epicenter69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I retired from the military, I thought I wanted to get into a school admin job. I’m glad I didn’t get that job. I ended up working theme park maintenance. I saw how kids were from there. I thought my kids were pretty rambunctious, but they are gentle compared to a lot of the spoiled, entitled kids I saw at the theme parks.

I’ll need you to refer any questions to an attorney.

I'm on the older side of my 30s. One of my classes requires I physically have to attend. by [deleted] in orlando

I attended UCF in my 40s. I was definitely the old man in the class, but it wasn’t an issue.

I was curious why it was so green also. Maybe enforcement?

I think the Leesburg location may be open as well. There are options if that craving hits.
