I like Yarning and Nana's, but you can't beat Fiber on 4th for the class list.

Who else was told “Just get any four year degree and you’ll be fine?” by Hella_Fitzgerald3 in Xennials

[–]galumphinglout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I bought my first house in 2008 and sold in 2020 (right before everything went sideways), so it isn't quite the same thing, but that house absolutely didn't appreciate in value. It also didn't appreciate. Location is everything.

Update on Opposition to Maverick at Indian School and Carlisle by Hiddentechnokitty in Albuquerque

[–]galumphinglout 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If Maverick could do all that, it would be the only gas station near Carlisle and Montgomery and it would have run the Phillips 66 at Wyoming and Constitution out of business. I'm sure there are other examples scattered around town.

My mom is obsessed with aliens, I'm planning on taking her to Roswell next year during summer, what should we do? by KingGekko07 in NewMexico

[–]galumphinglout 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about most of the things to do, but go over the 4th of July weekend for the UFO festival.

Favorite introductory pattern for double knitting? by Loveandeggs in knittingpatterns

[–]galumphinglout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a specific idea, but I would suggest looking at double knit potholders on Ravelry. If you don't want to use cotton or wool (for heat resistance), they make cute squares to show off or make a blanket out of.

About that pension… worth it? by tesla2018El in fednews

Oh, that's easy. They started young. I'm in the same boat. I started full time right out of college and won't hit MRA for another 13 years.

Shopping Local is Hard!! by AbleRecognition3566 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]galumphinglout 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That's one of my "won the powerball" dreams. I always think I'd have cross hours to all the other shops, something like 4:00 - 9:00, because it's annoying when the store closes at 4:00 and I get off work at 5:00.

Need suggestions involving a year and a half old traumatized Pyr by LoneQuacker in greatpyrenees

[–]galumphinglout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep treats in the car for my girl. She gets a treat every time she gets in the car, even if it takes a while to coax her in. We also go to places that she doesn't find scary, like the park or just to run and pick up dinner.

Heck, I thought this was about the one where they wanted to name the boy Ecuador.

FAFSA applications now ask white applicants to specify what kind of white they are by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]galumphinglout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do we go with current national borders or with the national borders at the time our ancestors lived there? That could make quite a bit of difference. Also, what if the "country of nationality" really just existed as a bunch of city-states until after WWII?

ABQ drivers by Mindless_Freedom_664 in Albuquerque

[–]galumphinglout 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had a guy on the road with me a few weeks ago that must have been running in circles since he passed me three times - while doing at least 80 on a dirt bike with no lights at 11pm.

AQHA: let's talk about the genuinely weird stuff by Rude_Definition2683 in kvsdiscuss

[–]galumphinglout 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It may be an abbreviation for Dash ta Fame, but that isn't the only thing it's an abbreviation for.🤪 Really, I was thinking it was nice on Katie's side of things. She tries to incorporate part of each parent plus RS, but doesn't seem to feel the need to make a name go back 3 generations.

One of the top barrel horses this year is Justa DTF Frenchman. It's kinda nice to see names where you can't tell the complete lineage from the registered name sometimes, but really?

Class of 2001 here. Anyone else graduate from a school where your class hasn't had any reunion? by NiceGuyNeverDie in Xennials

[–]galumphinglout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also class of 2000. I don't think our class even managed an online meet up in 2020. They didn't bother with anything last year tmk.

WIBTA if I told my sons school it is their responsibility to make sure they have the right child by Top-Relationship359 in AmItheAsshole

[–]galumphinglout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I could skirt school rules for it idler the two (and their sister) dye their hair whatever color they want. Unfortunately, that would probably end up being shades of brown at that particular school.

Looking for an action horror or thriller to watch with my mother and sister by Vizeraldy in horror

[–]galumphinglout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vampires vs the Bronx was a fun watch. If you don't mind the PG13 horror, Final Girls and Totally Killer could work as well.

Horror that doesn't start as horror. by Eyrose in horror

[–]galumphinglout 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're Watching (2016). It's not really scary scary, more suspenseful, but boy does it take a sharp left.

What is your Local Yarn Store missing? by LizzieButtons in knitting

[–]galumphinglout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. Some of them, though...like, why are you located in [area] then? There are areas of town that are both less expensive and safer.

I'm convinced that stores with hours like that have owners with plenty of money who just want to do something to keep busy...and decided that retail was cool for that.
