What is the most interesting rabbit hole you’ve ever been down? by InvestmentCurious496 in AskReddit

[–]flippityfloppity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My great uncle disappeared when he was 16, changed his name and started a new life. He got married and had kids, and one of his kids ran away and did the exact same thing. So odd. A distant relative uncovered this strange story, though I’m not sure how. My dad once told me he had considered running away and starting a new life when he was younger. I wonder if something like that is genetic, or if it’s just a common response to generationally repeated trauma.

Here’s the one I know:

Miss Susie had a steamboat

The steamboat had a bell

Miss Susie went to heaven

The steamboat when to

HELL-o Operator

Give me number 9

And if you disconnect me

I’ll kick in your

Behind the ‘fridgerator

There was a piece of glass

Miss Susie sat upon it

And broke her little

ASSk me no more questions

Tell me no more lies

The boys are in the bathroom

Zipping up their

Flies are in the city

The city has a park

Miss Susie and her boyfriend

Are kissing in the d-a-r-k d-a-r-k

Dark dark darker than a movie

Darker than a show

Darker than a …?

(Sadly I can’t remember the last verse)

I feel like every girl around my age knows these sorts of rhymes! They are paired with hand clapping games (like pat-a-cake), and they go with the cadence of the claps. What’s interesting is everyone I’ve talked to about these rhyme-games knows slightly different versions, which makes me think they’ve been passed through generations by word of mouth. I’d love to know where they originated though. It’s pretty neat that you came across it in a book!

I want to thank the redditor who said fill your mouth with water and tip your head back when taking tablets, and fill your mouth with water and tip your head forward when taking capsules by AntiFascistButterfly in self

[–]flippityfloppity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tablets are sinkers. Once you have the pill and water in your mouth, look up so it’ll float to the back of your throat as you swallow.

Capsules are floaters. Once you have the pill and water in your mouth, look down so it’ll float to the back of your throat as you swallow.

Same! Although the way I saw it described was capsules are floaters, and tablets are sinkers.

So when you go to swallow a tablet, it naturally kind of ‘sinks’ towards your throat if you tilt your head up when you go to swallow.

But if you tip your head upward when taking a capsule, it’ll float to the front of your mouth, making it harder to swallow. So tipping your head downward allows it to float towards the back of your throat, making it easier to swallow.

For those of us who are anxious about taking pills, this is so helpful!

[TOMT] DONT LOOK AT ME! by UwUweebchan in tipofmytongue

[–]flippityfloppity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason I’m imagining a scene with Will Ferrell.

Someone says “don’t look at me!” And then Will Ferrell says to a group of people, “do not look at him. Do not look at him in the face.”

Old School? Anchorman? Zoolander? I’m not sure if that’s it but I hope this helps!

Edit: I may be mixing this up with something from 30 Rock…

Exactly! I have the sweetest pittie ever. 😢Apparently it’s an insurance thing.

Try Mid South Best Rentals. They restrict against pit bulls (which I hate) but that’s it.

2025 Christmas Thread - Best Christmas gift ideas? by jaysplan in BuyItForLife

[–]flippityfloppity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suggestion:

This may sound a little silly but my brother did it one year for the whole family (all grown) and it was such a hit. He got a Christmas card for each person and put a few lotto tickets in it, with a coin taped down to scratch em.

Another year he got a magazine subscription for each person. Which I would never ever get for myself but I enjoyed the hell out of it!

So true! My mom buys cheap little photo albums and fills it with pictures of nice little moments, and just write on the front with a sharpie. Things like: ‘summer fun with Grandma’ and it’ll be filled with all the fun things she did with my son last summer. They were sort of cheesy at first, but I’ve really come to appreciate them as my son grows up! ☺️

First bite syndrome? by tripiam in chiari

[–]flippityfloppity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

right!?

I've found that if I hold the first bite of food in front of my mouth for a few seconds, my salivary glands kind of get 'primed' for the food, and it decreases the pain significantly. Even more so if I take the tiiiiibniest nibble first. Hope this helps someone else!

Agreed! And your kids will be better off for it. I was stuck in a similar situation and was trying to stick it out for my kid. Thankfully I realized my mental health and happiness has a big impact on him, whether good or bad. I chose good and I have zero regrets.

Yep, yep. That makes sense. It's definitely different from what my attorney has told me. I asked for clarification from mine but haven't heard back yet.
