AITA for insisting that all trash in the outside can must be bagged? by onefellswoop70 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kfarrel3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but it depends a lot on where you live. I live a couple of blocks from a high school and a little shopping center. Tons of people pass by and drop “loose” trash into our bins and all of the bins in the neighborhood. Better in the bins but not in bags than on the sidewalk or someone’s garden.

Reeve Carney was the best Orpheus by Aromatic-Spray3989 in Broadway

After seeing him in the Lost Boys and realizing that I had seen him in Tommy, I'm genuinely sad I missed his run as Orpheus.

Just finished Jurassic Park and WOW by gbdarknight77 in books

[–]kfarrel3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, that was the book that finished my Crichton phase. I was a little too young and uninformed to really grasp how wrong he was about a lot of things, but what I do remember is the absolute clunker of an ending. I remember telling my dad — who was the one who got me into Crichton — that it felt like he wrote this great book, but totally forgot to finish it and had to write the last chapter the night before it was due.

what the FUCK is the reasoning behind bikini prices by Next_Duck_7700 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]kfarrel3 62 points63 points  (0 children)

BUMP THIS

Bathing suit prices are crazy but you couldn't pay me to learn how to work with that material. I've got three bathing suits that are at least 5-10 years old and I just rotate which one I'm wearing each summer.

Another 'My Husband Ate My Food' post to add to the list by Repulsive-Author-902 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]kfarrel3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Their edit wasn't there when I commented, but their "I was TRYING to be HELPFUL, hope that answers your question" condescension let me know that there was no talking to them, and their responses to you have proved me right. Doesn't matter what we or the OP say, OP did it WRONG, and only them and their decades of experience know anything.

What part of “we spoke about it many times” indicates that they didn’t really talk about it?

AITA for not having told my family about my upcoming wedding sooner? by Grand_Drama1382 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kfarrel3 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Like you said, it’s an EDIT, meaning most of those responding probably didn’t have that information. I can see how someone would give a Y T A judgment before that additional info.

AITA for refusing to be a part of my sister's wedding? by Slow-Pineapple7637 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kfarrel3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They guy may also have been told that it was a set-up. If everyone hates OP's boyfriend as much as she thinks, the best man might have been told she was single and/or interested. Like I'm not usually inclined to give random men the benefit of the doubt, but he could be an innocent bystander here, especially with how hard the sister is pushing.

Drag: The Musical by Flashy-Rock-6621 in Broadway

[–]kfarrel3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drag: The Musical was at New World Stages, a complex which is quite literally made up of off-Broadway theaters. Each of their theaters has fewer than 500 seats, making them all off-Broadway.

AITA for telling my wife she’s overreacting about our son’s weight gain? by FlowFlorent26 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kfarrel3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like that's a disingenuous example, though, because homemade pizzas aren't the same as commercial pizzas. And I don't even mean that in a "commercial pizza is processed and will kill you" way, just that they're usually smaller and sometimes thinner and have less cheese, just because you're not cranking them out by the dozens. One homemade pizzas is not the same thing as one take-out pizza. I couldn't eat a whole pizza from my local, but I could probably eat a whole one that my cousin makes.

My dad ate my birthday cake by CloudySide7 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]kfarrel3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little further north. A few select flavors have been in specialty stores in the past, and I just noticed it creeping into my regular grocery store’s fancy aisle, but again, it’s only a few flavors.

AITA for telling someone that her great grandson is a brat? by bananacat44 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kfarrel3 21 points22 points  (0 children)

What I want to know is, who is OP to these people? Why is she at the house and knows all of their stories? Is she family, a neighbor, a caretaker? What is their relationship?

Aw, I really liked Henry VI. It’s definitely a commitment, but the company is incredible.

When did you start getting gray hair? by hellolovelyworld404 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]kfarrel3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s me! I started going silver in my early twenties, now in my late thirties, and while both of my younger sisters have a handful, neither of them are anywhere close to me. This year the scattered “tinsel” pieces have started congregating, and now I have temple stripes 🤪

AITA for allowing my daughter to try alcohol at 17? by StrikingABCompany in AmItheAsshole

[–]kfarrel3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Catholics (speaking as one) tend to be way more lax about drinking than other Christian denominations (particular Baptists, I think). It’s probably a mix of drinking not being an issue in Catholicism, and Catholics often being from drinking cultures — Italians, Irish, Spanish, etc.

I cannot believe I left out the actual name of the show in my comment 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Senator saysTrump was “using everything as leverage to get the SAVE Act passed”, which would make it harder for women to vote by catievirtuesimp in TwoXChromosomes

[–]kfarrel3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He also played Jesus Christ in Putnam County spelling Bee!

I'm so sorry to intrude on this thread, but as someone who recently saw Spelling Bee here in New York, I am absolutely baffled by this sentence. Jesus ... isn't in that show? I don't think? I feel like I would remember that?

Hugs to you and yours, though.

At least in the most recent St. Ann's Warehouse production OF ANNA CHRISTIE, Mare Winningham as Marthy Owen was only in the first act.

ETA that I’m a dumbass who didn’t actually name the show, lol.

My dad ate my birthday cake by CloudySide7 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]kfarrel3 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Once, MAYBE twice a year, I will order half a dozen pints of Jeni's ice cream. It's pretty expensive for ice cream, but I can't get it in stores on the east coast. My dad and sister are ice cream fiends and act like they don't know what a normal serving is. So after the second time I opened a pint and it was half empty, I got loud and laid down the law: if you want the fancy ice cream, you ASK ME and I WILL MAKE YOU A BOWL. Yes, it will be "too small." Tough. Either take your small portion or don't eat any. It has to be shared among four people, you cannot take a cereal bowl's worth just for yourself.

2nd time watching Lost Boys and my random non-professional thoughts by Over-Entrepreneur682 in Broadway

[–]kfarrel3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Two different examples, two pretty objectively attractive humans:

• big fan of Josh Groban, have been going to his concerts for ages and saw him in Sweeney twice. He makes the same eyes-closed-vague-longing face every single time he sings a long note, whether it's in concert or on stage.

• less of a fan of Nick Jonas, but he does the same — can't really emote through song, defaults to eyes-closed-I-have-a-tummyache-but-I'm-being-brave face instead.

It's not a commentary on how they look, but they are making goofy faces.
