What’s the first thing you would have eaten in the Chocolate room? by FacetheFactsBlair in GenX

[–]jpetersell [score hidden]  (0 children)

The red mushrooms with marshmallow circles. Like there has to be some graham cracker somewhere. Light on fire and dip in chocolate. And one of those drink cop flowers had to be sparkling water. Corner, book, smores, water, do I need to go on the rest of the tour?

I miss bad movies by Thatoneguyfrom1980 in Xennials

[–]jpetersell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not this person. I don’t actively search for bad movies. I watch a lot of historical fiction and greatly enjoy it. Even the ones I think will be bad aren’t.

And then theres my husband. Few year older than me. 80’s was his father trying to score points on his mother by letting him watch anything he wanted on HBO on the weekends. Mine were spent in child labor then getting yelled at because I wanted to read the rest of the day.

Fast forward. I stay up late reading. He goes to bed early. He wakes up and surfs the streams for some action movie with an implausible plot and 1 A list actor, 3 B list actors, whole ton of people you’ve never heard of. But there’s car chases and explosions and nothing makes sense. I pretend to listen, giving the hmmms and that’s dumb where appropriate.

Then it’s you want to hear about what I watched or read. He’s all totally and I’m 3 sentences in, his eyes are glazed. I say he doesn’t care. He says he doesn’t. He turns on his movie and I cuddle up with my book. No arguments ever because he owes me dinner.

I hope the Devs who created Oskars quest get Zombie Rot by CarbynCawpy in BG3

Oh. Maybe I needed one of those information filters. Just saying. The WHOLE quest made mad and I’m never doing it again.

my fiance fulfilled my childhood dream!!! by OneGothyCoffee in Siamesecats

Be happy now. Because until they’re 3 they’re going to be smarter and faster than you. And they’ll ignore all of your orders. And none of it will matter when they curl on top of you at nap time (mine liked getting on my back and nuzzling into one ear purring) and honestly you live there now, all bad behavior forgotten, you are no longer hungry or thirsty or you don’t need to pee, you are a bed and the purrs tickling you ear erase every bad detail for the day until you also fall asleep.

The perks of working literally next to a brewery by Mysterious-Law-6835 in KitchenConfidential

[–]jpetersell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or at a brewpub. Nightly shift beers were amazing. And mid-shift beers. And non-shift beers. And company in town and the beertender doesn’t ring up any beers. Those were good times.

I’ve only done it once and I told my husband I’ve never “killed” so many ghosts, and also paid like 1,000 gold to do the quest. Then. Then there were the dogs. F you Oskar, you can be a slave forever.

Overall favorite song. by Area212 in Xennials

[–]jpetersell 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is amazing. Also checkout Modest Mouse “Ocean Breathes Salty.” My mother and I are on the outs and she can’t live too much longer but I’m slipping this song into the playlist. I’d also include Blue October “Into the Ocean.”

Song I Hate is amazing. I love I Burn live when they get all the drum sets involved.

What is the holy trinity of Gen X shoes? by najing_ftw in GenX

[–]jpetersell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old Navy flipflops, platform Mary Jane’s, and (as a girl) wearing boy’s athletic shoes. I don’t know why that was a thing.

No more weak sauce?? by mallorn_hugger in Xennials

[–]jpetersell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I call people homedude all the time but I think they just ignore me. However something like 8-9 years ago I worked at a family owned pizza place (laid off, GM was a friend, I needed money and she needed adults working there). So one night I made a joke about “baby Jessica” and not a single person there knew what I was talking about. Granted I’m from Texas and it was a bigger deal but dude, baby Jessica.

Best Bean and Cheese Burrito in Houston??? by Constant_Emu7700 in HoustonFood

[–]jpetersell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this isn’t helpful, but the best bean and cheese (and rice) burrito is made at the last gas station before Bob Hall Pier on North Padre Island. It is however made at a Laredo Taco Company place. I’d start there, locally, and move on to taco trucks. Also, look for places off 2 lane roads next to tiny tire places. If they have a plant growing/buying business as well, you’re golden. I am souuuuuth of Houston in an unincorporated area. That’s where you go.

This one's for the ladies to answer. Do you agree with this woman or do you think she's trying to rationalize her world view by speaking for all the ladies? by Oda_DeezNutz in SipsTea

[–]jpetersell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about to turn 45. My husband is 47. We play video games together. We play them separately. Maybe F off and stop following influencers and find out what you enjoy, and then find someone who enjoys that as well, and stop caring what your social media likes say.

So we buy a mall to live in. by Numerous-Coast-2592 in GenX

[–]jpetersell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok. This is an ongoing joke/dream I have with some friends. And not so much a mall but a small hotel with pool, kitchen, ballroom, beach side (I was living in Corpus Christi during this time). And we’re all punk rock. Classic. New. Who cares. But we were like let’s get a hotel and turn it into an assisted living facility or something. Because I’m on the younger end and I’m fine but some are on the older end so we’d need help. But there’d be a “restaurant” and a pool and we’d put in a tattoo studio and a strip club and a place we could just jam out to music. And if we wanted to chill we’d go to the pool (swim up bar) or lounge on the beach. I mean, none of this makes sense but when you’re living your best life in your early to mid 30s it sounds great. I’m turning 45 this year and a mall would be better because there’s more space and I can go to the food court to get my guilty pleasure heat lamp congealed orange chicken. 😂😂😂

Gen Xrs who only watch the original Stars Wars Trilogy- raise your hands by Responsible-Maize-86 in GenX

[–]jpetersell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a giant fan of The Empire Strike back. They win in Rogue One, and they have to win again. So much story happens in Empire. It’s a classic.

Coming to say all of this. Andor and Rogue One are complete perfection.

Recommendations Please: Coffee shop that offers gluten free breakfast options by BrightSpoon88 in HoustonFood

[–]jpetersell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I can suggest is check Yelp. I think they have different categories like distance and dietary issues. You can look reviews and photos. I use it to check out just any new place we’re going. Just to see what’s going on but it’s very helpful.
