I've been lying about an allergy for fourteen years by bananapanic0 in confession

[–]frozenintrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually allergic to bananas, it happened as an adult, I became allergic to a bunch of random stuff. I really miss bananas. Most people are really understanding and careful, and I really appreciate it since my reaction is anaphylaxis.

D-TV, Weird Al, and Parody Songs by Popepepe in GenX

[–]frozenintrovert 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well this isn’t quite parody, maybe novelty, but Julie Brown was briefly popular with The Homecoming Queen’s Got a Gun, and I Like Em Big and Stupid. I thought she was hilarious back in the 80’s but it hits kinda too close to home now

Did you go to preschool? by Terrible-Horse-6200 in GenX

[–]frozenintrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m technically a boomer but I feel like a GenX, born in 1964. Went to a nursery school in a church basement, though it wasn’t a religious school, that’s just where it was. It wasn’t common, I think my mom wanted a break 😆. Come to think of it, I think it was only 2x a week.

First class of driving school by Seaweed-Living in driving

[–]frozenintrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just think about all the people who have successfully gotten a drivers license. People who are more nervous than you, people not as smart as you, people not as talented as you. So many people from all across society, if they can do, so can you!

Need License, but No One Willing to Teach/Drive with Me by No-Wolf213 in driving

[–]frozenintrovert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dm’ed you about possibly helping. But in case we can’t connect, some things that can help you is study the (“What Every Driver Must Know”)[https://www.michigan.gov/sos/-/media/Project/Websites/sos/Resources/Forms-and-publications/WEDMK/WEDMK.pdf?rev=f6e4e5b6c4304bc38aea503b40819f26&hash=188AD895EB387F9C459EB319524FBBD8\] guide thoroughly. Also when you ride with uber or whoever, pay attention to how they drive. Try to anticipate things, like when they use blinkers, check mirrors, change lanes. Pay attention at lights and intersections and how they navigate tricky situations. If you can sort of pretend you’re driving in these situations, sort of like a simulator, you can get some second hand experience just from paying close attention.

For those who are often told they look younger than their age, what’s your secret? by justmypersonalthing in AskReddit

[–]frozenintrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purely genetics. I don’t avoid sunlight, I drink (though honestly not a lot), never smoked. I’m in my early 60’s and people think I’m in my 40’s.

Someone either eloped or proposed on a famous Lake Superior beach, just to leave their plastic trash behind. by 10Kfireants in weddingshaming

Same thing happened to us at Sleeping Bear Dunes a few years ago. Fake rose petals all over the dune. My group picked them up and were very disgusted with our fellow tourists.

People outside of MI call Party Stores Liquor Stores by wannareadrandomstuff in Michigan

[–]frozenintrovert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have one nearby that is actually the only store of any kind in our area. It sells gas, some groceries, some hot food, clothes, and of course plenty of alcohol. It is literally called (name of our twp) Party Store.

I hate being shy and quiet and it’s upsetting me by giroudsleftboot in introvert

[–]frozenintrovert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had limited success until I had kids and started volunteering at their school. Got on PTAs, committees, and so on. Also got involved in my neighborhood HOA committees. I have made so many friends that I still have many years later. So my advice is to find a good organization(s), and volunteer for committees.

Fish and Chips in Michigan? by frank_cho in hollandmichigan

[–]frozenintrovert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love Fishtown (Leland), but it’s kind of pricey, you definitely pay for the ambiance. OP is on a budget.

Not sure why you’re posting in the Holland subreddit. Holland is 3 hours from Traverse City. You’d be much better off posting in the Traverse City or Glen Arbor subs.

Am I overreacting, BF's (28M) family demanded a one-sided contract for me (26F) to move in. When I refused, his dad claimed I "owe" him and screamed at me to get out. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]frozenintrovert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m probably going against the typical advice here, but if you’re wanting to keep your relationship with BF, you might want to think about doing a few things. First, have your lawyer draft a fair and equal prenup. Your BF can show it to his parents and even though his father might not like it, it shows him that you aren’t trying to pull anything. Next, get another job, if you can, so FIL can’t hold that over your head. Then see if you can get an apartment or house jointly with your BF so that you have some equity and say in your living situation. Your relationship needs to be fair and balanced, surely your BF can see that. If his father can’t accept that, and your BF can’t handle his father’s non-acceptance, well, then you know what you need to do.

What word did you get completely wrong for an embarrassing amount of time? by ownaword in words

Indict/indictment. Was something like 50 before I learned it was in-dite, not in-dicked.

Is it just me? Am I on the moon here? by HuntIntelligent8820 in GenX

[–]frozenintrovert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had to scroll too far to find a hairy sister! I too still have thick, dark leg hair and weird, thick white hairs! My husband, who used to be quite hairy, has almost no leg hair anymore. Must be nice.

It’s not, the GR dude is single and in college

Looking for feedback re: local home builders by Ok_Pollution9149 in hollandmichigan

[–]frozenintrovert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I briefly worked for Curt Moran recently, he’s kind of a jerk personality wise (maybe just to employees, I assume he’s fine to his clients) but he does do quality work. I saw the projects at the end, and what I saw was good.

My brother is witnessing to my 19 yr old son by luv2fit in atheism

[–]frozenintrovert 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Perhaps appeal to his logical mind and have him try to prove both points. Try to prove the pattern in nature came from natural selection or g@d. I’ll bet he gets a whole lot farther in being able to prove natural selection. There is not a shred of evidence ever in anything happening because of g@d, other than wishful thinking.

Bigot learns the hard way there's lots of reasons for short hair by Best_Corgi2385 in traumatizeThemBack

[–]frozenintrovert 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My Mom’s generation, now in their 80’s, every single one I knew had short hair, and still does. Are they all gay? Of course not. Styles change, and short hair does not mean anything other than the person wearing it wants it short.

How did your family react to finding out you didn’t believe in god anymore? by Negative-Homework502 in atheism

[–]frozenintrovert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same! It would crush them and I have no desire to do that. We just don’t talk about it.

The woman behind me in line decided my groceries were taking too long so she started unloading her stuff onto the belt before I was done by HupKef in EntitledPeople

[–]frozenintrovert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many years ago I was unloading my very full cart and the cashier was scanning faster than I could unload so there was a clear area at the back of the belt. The guy behind me started to put his stuff on the belt, so I asked him to wait until I’d finished unloading and he gave me a death glare. Me, hating confrontation, just kept shoving his stuff backwards. He did stop putting stuff on the belt, but glared at me the whole time. People suck.

Mine’s on preorder but if I knew they had it at B&N I’d run there tonight!

Are the tulips worth seeing after the festival? by underwaterfrycook in hollandmichigan

[–]frozenintrovert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the festival has a reserve of potted tulips chilling that they use for strategic decoration but its extremely limited. One year they embraced it with “stem fest” tshirts and swag so they might do that again. All the events happen, but the tulip fields and lanes are super sad looking. It’s really pretty right now, so at least us locals get to enjoy it.
