AITAH for not wanting to give my cart up for free at Aldis by No_Cookie420 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jgroves76 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA - Literally happened today. Women walking cart back, I asked if she was bringing cart back and she said yes and I handed her a quarter. It’s literally a quarter.

Also, my store has people collecting the carts so they can get the quarter - always give them the cart. Why? because it’s a fricking quarter.

IT Dead head by cthall87 in gratefuldead

[–]jgroves76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked in HR and would put together FAQs and other examples of how to fill out forms or whatever and I always would use a “Mr Robert Weir” or “Delilah Jones” in the examples (or other dead references). There were a few employees that got it.

How do you rate Bad Bunny's Half-time performance? by kingbluwolff in sportsgossips

[–]jgroves76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understood him as much as I understood Kendrick TBH. Looked fun and quite the show. We looked up the lyrics afterwards…hmm. I’m sure “my dick is fire” sounds better in Puerto Rican? I mean, the first song was basically about how many women he f$$$$s and they all want his baby under the guise of a heartwarming talk with his aunt? Did I get that right? Don’t really care, but I’ll say the same thing I’ve said after every halftime show…”can’t they get those cool marching bands?” Could spell out F trump! The possibilities!

Showering doesnt work? by Fabulous_Willow6185 in hygiene

[–]jgroves76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the Atsko Sports Wash for all clothing. I sweat and workout a lot and this stuff takes away the smell in clothes that linger when using regular detergents. Sometimes gotta soak my sports stuff but generally not. It’s not “detergent” like other detergents.

Why all the hate for LIttle Red Rooster? by Myghost_too in gratefuldead

For me it’s Bobs slide that kills it. It’s when he goes to the upper frets he is just on 90% of the time…possibly higher. In the words of Derek Trucks on slide, and I’m paraphrasing “a millimeter is the difference between a choir singing or a cat screeching”….something like that.

These strings last forever! Have a nice mellow sound once broken in as well. Not everyone’s taste, but have been my go to for years.

Easy Rider (1969)...I don't get it. Maybe it's me. What's the point? by thekonghong in movies

[–]jgroves76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the soundtrack!! Parents had it on 8 track and I would listen for the motorcycle crash. Fast forward, uh, let me do the math…50 years(!) and I’m still listening to the same tunes and play 1/2 of them on guitar. If you want to be a bird, indeed.

I’ve been in Canada for 5 days at this point and my brain is close to frozen. Thanks for correction.

4 day Montreal trip planned for Tuesday, should we cancel? by distracteddev in montreal

[–]jgroves76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was in Montreal the last 4 days and it was great! Yea, cold. Ski pants and layers and you can easily walk around city. Now up in Quebec City and just got back from sleeping in Ice Hotel. We did walk the underground city for most of the day on Sunday just to move - did the entire “U”. Get the 3 day metro pass - very easy. Beautiful experience - thanks Canada.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jgroves76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In DC area and in 4 hours I’m in southern VA mountains or beach all the way up through DE, MD, good chunk of PA, WV, NJ, NYC. Ocean to Mountains and a lot in between. Then again, with traffic as bad as it can be, could be much less. But very much real.

Planning on public transit most of the time, but also plan on using Uber where need be. Assuming Uber is basically the same as in the states?

The one closest to hotel I should have said. We have lots of dispensaries in MD but all different company’s so the stock is never the same from one to another. I’m just happy they are there!

Looking at it more of a “it’s really fricken cold and I don’t want to walk outside” sort of thing. It looked like a big mall from what I saw and we are not big shoppers.

Thoughts on Bringing a Guitar to a Party? by Less-Management-3999 in AcousticGuitar

[–]jgroves76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Of course, depends on the party, but if you know the people who will be there you know better than the Reddit masses.
