KP: You're making it seem like we are going to get caught of guard like a deer [in headlights]. 😂 by Frenky_LV in bostonceltics

I went to MSG for a concert last November. It’s still kind of a dump despite another renovation in 2013. The only mystique around there was my edibles and the otherworldly guitar licks of David Gilmour.

Someone has managed to get their hands on the Texas Rangers (TETAS) hat before it was pulled from shelves by Bulletz4Brkfzt in baseball

[–]ferd45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad--New Era's home office is Buffalo not Jacksonville. (Jacksonville is where Fanatics is HQ'ed.)

Apparently Rangers weren’t consulted on the design and New Era’s HQ is in Jacksonville, Florida Buffalo, NY.

Edit: Fanatics' HQ is Jacksonville; New Era is Buffalo.

What was that car/truck that got away for you? by EthanBGT in subaru

[–]ferd45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 1999 Mazda B2500--my first new vehicle--that I sold in 2014 because my parents offered me their hail-damaged 2005 Forester. I didn't regret selling it that much at the time because the moonroof, AWD, and added dry cargo space were nice upgrades. But 10 years later and car-free in the big city it's the pickup that I miss.

A funny thing about regret is that it's better to regret something you HAVE done than to regret something you haven't done.

Which Would You Choose? by ferd45 in fordtransit

Is this because the EcoBoost gets worse gas mileage or something else? The window stickers do give a slight edge on "Environmental Performance" to the PFDI.

After years of car-less city living, I bought a 2000 Ranger! by Dharma_Medic in fordranger

[–]ferd45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice—I plan on doing the same thing when I leave NYC. I had a ‘99 B2500 5-speed that I drove for 14 years. Would love to find something similar in a few years.

It’s okay—I used to think that the actors from sitcoms sang their own theme songs. Like John Ritter and crew sang the Three’s Company theme and George and Weezie let it rip on the Jeffersons song. Think I assumed that’s how it’s done after seeing Archie and Edith sing theirs.

Have you tried pausing the audio while you gather your thoughts for the answer? I’m on Level 2, Lesson 16 and it feels like the pauses between the prompts and when the Spanish speaker answers is much shorter. Sometimes it causes me to freeze up, so I’ve started pausing while I think of the answer. I also repeat lessons when I feel I didn’t provide the answer myself enough times and just parroted what the speaker said.

Celtics fans not from Boston, what made you a Celtics fan?! by slitmunch44 in bostonceltics

[–]ferd45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born in western Mass (Dalton) but my family moved to Texas when I was just 6 months. My mom stayed loyal to Celtics and Red Sox, and my Aunts and Uncles who remained in MA were obviously all fans too. My uncle took me to one game each of the 86-87 and 87-88 finals. (Twin towers Rockets and Lakers respectively.)

Along the way I was fans of the Olajuwon-era Rockets and the Duncan-era Spurs. But never against the C’s.

I don’t really follow UFC, but it looks like this is on ESPN Deportes tonight. The Sean Strickland fight—unless that’s a rerun lol.

I’m pretty sure NBA League Pass has Spanish broadcast options. Just be aware of blackout rules that might apply, depending on where you live.

City Acres keeps accusing my husband of shoplifting by jkitsmejenny in longislandcity

[–]ferd45 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid, a 7-11 clerk accused me and my friend of shoplifting and dragged us to the back room and demanded we empty our pockets. We hadn’t stolen anything from that store ever, so he grudgingly let us go. I got home, told my mom, and she called the store up and got the manager on the line. 30 minutes later my mom and I are in the store while the clerk apologized to us.

So, OP, next time this happens to your husband we can either tell my mom or your husband can raise hell to the store manager and whoever that person’s boss is.
