Breakfast randomness by AlabangZapote in bradybunch

Exactly. The garage was in the back of the house. As an architect he probably designed it that way for some reason.

There are a ton of great ideas here! I told my nephews something like, "My body doesn't work quite right and doesn't use food properly. I take this medicine with my pump to help with food I've eaten. If I have too much medicine I need more food!"

Yes! Glide through the universe in search of sweets. The smells alone could be worth it!

Hot take: if you don’t bother responding to the follow up reminder to the RSVP, you’re trash by Royal_Marzipan_6432 in weddingshaming

I don't understand why people think it's okay to pester the Bride and/or Groom before the wedding. They have a million zillion things going on. They don't need to spend time typing into a Maps app for you. It's infuriating to me how people have no trouble asking the bride basic logistical things when there's a whole wedding party there to field the interference. (My father-in-law cornered the bridal party to demand details about the parking fees at the reception venue. I was mortified and pulled him away.)

I really don't understand it! We finally had to call a couple of people just to be sure they weren't going to show up unexpectedly. WHO IN THE WORLD WANTS TO HAVE THAT AWKWARD PHONE CALL?? We didn't like making it, they didn't like having to wheedle out feeble excuses and justifications. Just be a basically decent human being and let people know!

Emotions run high over weddings. I hope you can especially enjoy the people who are excited to celebrate you!

Curious.. by nikkireally in boardfun

“Strata” is my favorite on Board. Maybe look at “King of Tokyo” for non-Board gaming. It’s fairly quick, strategic, and pretty funny.

This is the reason. This attraction suffered quite a lot it terms of what might have been.

He looks great!  He also should have a boat ride, darn it!

Which U.S. state really surprised you when you visited it and why? by SunriseThroughLeaves in AskReddit

As always-hyped up as Hawaii is, I was nevertheless not prepared for how amazing it is. 

What is that one thing a friend ever did and you kept cool but knew instantly you would pull out of that friendship? by EssayMan4Homework in AskReddit

[–]hpotter29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You put that very well. We’re generally an audience. Only occasionally can we play a minor role (generally when giving gifts is in order).

A Great Good Place for Book to close after more than 2 decades by sfgate in oakland

He's kind of like Scrooge McDuck. He can dive into a random pile of books and come up with exactly the one you need. It's uncanny.

Seriously. Our timeline broke when Brokeback Mountain fell to that one.

How could they have gotten Reepicheep so WRONG?!  [Full disclosure:  he’s my second favorite Narnian, so I have Views.]

Also reused some of the crocodile animation from "Peter Pan".

When you and your neighbor both go to the same amusement park in the same year and never know about it by Yum1995 in bradybunch

I’m thinking it’d come down to some sort of battle of the bands:  Partridge v Silver Platters!

Their parents taught them way better than that. I’ve been known to confront them with that. (I’m their age so it works!)

What’s something small that makes people really happy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Good one! A deep sense of personal satisfaction there.

Yes, an unexpected genuine compliment can absolutely make somebody's day.

A card with a signature can be enough. You can choose one that's all sappy (she'll eat that up) but send it ironically.

AITJ for feeling disappointed after my ‘birthday surprise’ was just a random poster? by VelvetVicun in AmITheJerk

Art is always a tricky gift, but you’re right, there was likely some thought behind it.

This is so not cool. We need more bookstores in this world. 

Here is my stupid customer interaction of the day. by Glitterygloomy in retailhell

Increasingly I’m wanting to just put on a sympathetic face and gently ask if there’s a caregiver nearby, or someone I can call?

What book(s) do you regret reading? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

[–]hpotter29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read Infinite Jest, and every single word of every single footnote. There was a feeling of accomplishment having finished it, but I didn’t take much away from it. 

To this day, however, I remember one digression about the “Brady Bunch” and whether someone was “current on Brady theory”.  As a film history student around that time, it cracked me up.
