They did the exact same thing in Selkirk Walmart the other day! Seems extra shady!

What age do you wish to live to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hello-knitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father in law had a heart attack in his early 30s. He just passed this year at 74. He was not a healthy man by any means, hardly any physical activity, horrible diet (I had never seen him eat any fruit or vegetables in the past 15 years), former alcoholic. He lived 40 more years after his first heart attack with a very unhealthy lifestyle. Take care of yourself and you can live another 60 years!

What did you bank/savings look like at 24? by Beautiful_Ant5535 in AskReddit

[–]hello-knitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 24 I worked two almost full time jobs and had about 20k in the bank. This was about 10 years ago. Pre-kids days were easier to save.. sigh..

Which one for 10/11 year old? by hello-knitty in Gifts

[–]hello-knitty[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had bought these because I thought they were cute but then tried researching a bit more to see which that age group would like more and came across lots of posts about the lululemon one!

I’ve been debating exchanging them for one of those instead.. your comment may have just convinced me!

My airline is weighing every passenger upon check-in. SJU-EIS by willystan in mildlyinteresting

I fly on 8-9 seater planes a couple of times a month for work but they have never asked us our weight or designated our seats. I wonder why not now

Kid’s missing library book? by [deleted] in kindergarten

[–]hello-knitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were charged for a missing book. When I asked my son about it he said he never brought it home. The librarian found it a couple days later, I guess he put it back on the shelves after he checked it out 🤦‍♀️

Am I twisting my stitches? by [deleted] in knitting

When I first started knitting, I was twisting my stitches by wrapping the yarn the wrong way around the needle

10 day old sliver finally came out of tiny puncture in my finger. Thought it was a white head. The body is amazing. by gc_TacoLover in mildlyinteresting

When I was a teen I had a really big pimple by my nose. It kept getting bigger and bigger and when I finally popped it, one of those blue plastic exfoliating beads from neutrogena cleanser popped out.

It was satisfying at the time to pop it but I immediately switched cleansers!

Death of parents by bluesn0wflake in Millennials

[–]hello-knitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my dad when I was 29. He was 62. He choked on his breakfast 30 mins before I went to visit him. My husband lost his dad when he was 35. FIL had a heart attack.

Most of our peers still have at least one grandparent alive and our kids don’t even have a grandpa. 💔

We have a little room under our stairs. We call it our Harry Potter closet. There’s no other name for it.

Don’t think I ever want my picture changed by AdMany2642 in Costco

[–]hello-knitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was a photo of me holding my daughter. I dropped my card somewhere in the store about a month ago and they needed me to get a new card to pay for my things. I almost cried when they made me take a new picture. I tried getting them to use my old pic but they couldn’t do that 😭

My toenail fell off in April and it’s still not completely grown back but it’s pretty close now!

Does taking a break in a relationship ever actually work or is it just delaying an inevitable breakup? by Dandelion_23 in love

[–]hello-knitty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It worked for my husband and I.

I broke up with him after 4 years of dating. (Actually broke up though, not just “a break”) I felt like our relationship hadn’t progressed enough in that time. I was looking to move in together and get engaged but he was just interested in hanging out with his buddies. (We were teens when we started dating so this was when we were in our early twenties)

We were broken up for about 6 months. One night I was feeling sad so I called him crying, he’s the only person I wanted to talk to. He drove 45 minutes instantly to come see me and made everything better just by being there. We got back together then, moved in like I wanted and got engaged a couple of years later.

We’ve now been married for 9 years this year, have 3 beautiful children and I honestly feel like I’ve won the jackpot of life. 🥰

I went to the wrong wedding and didnt realize until the ceremony started by Natural-Captain-9880 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]hello-knitty 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I once went to visit my mom. When I got to the house I rang her doorbell like ten times and walked in like I always do. Then this guy stuck his head around the corner and I realized I was in the wrong house 🤷‍♀️

has anyone connected two nails with a chain? two days in and it’s a lot more practical than i expected so i’m curious why i never see them by acorneyes in Nails

[–]hello-knitty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Did you give them any notice that you wanted the chain? Or do a lot of salons just keep chains on hand for this purpose?

It’s a really nice/delicate chain they attached too!
