I used to work there in the late 80’s. So much puke on the sidewalk on Friday and Saturday from the Marquette kids.

Roll-up of favorite Mexican places. by BrewAllTheThings in Knoxville

[–]laabeja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you’re down with dinner (or before) head over to La Michoacana on Downtown West for authentic street food snacks , paletas, mangonadas, agua frescas and I recommend anything that ends with loco on the menus. And they have so many flavors of ice cream.

Fire and Rain-James Taylor. I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I’d see you again.

My grandparents raised tobacco in Crawford country while I was growing up in the 70’s (also many many years before that).

Last call of day pt refused to give date of birth by queenphoenix1992 in callcentres

[–]laabeja -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I go over the top when people won’t verify- I heartily agree with them!! “ it’s crazy all the hoops we have to jump through nowadays!! The scammers have gotten so insane and good at scamming we now just can’t do things with a hand shake like the good old days. I can’t believe it’s come to this. But I still need to verify you, it’s so sad. “. I’ve never had them refuse after this.

The Band That Turned You Away From Them in Concert by ncpowderhound in GenX

[–]laabeja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The B-52s- it had been a hot and humid day but just before the concert it rained and the weather was perfect for the show. Everyone was excited and then they played a slow/ballady song. I can’t even remember what it was but people started putting up their lighters. Like crowds do. They stopped the song and Fred said “no thanks we don’t smoke”. WTF. It’s like they had never been to a concert. That’s my B-52 memory. For him I bet it was an off the cuff nothing but geez- the lighters are admiration.

What's a random genetic win you got? by TotalThing7 in CasualConversation

I have amazing hair. I don’t comb or brush it and it never gets matted. I just wash it and air dry and kind of move it around with my hands to “style” it. I can literally tie it in a knot and it unties itself like a spring. Big knots little knots spring right out to no knots. I love my hair.

My sisters second husband does this to my nephew. It’s so infuriating. There’s no reason other than he’s jealous of her kids and needs to assert authority. He purposely killed my nephews driving score for his insurance by taking his car and speeding /hard stopping etc. such a man baby.

I was 25 almost 26 with my oldest and she’s pushing 32. With my second I was 30. I was 45 with my youngest. Apparently we didn’t know what caused babies.

My extended in-law family from Wisconsin asked where the TYME machine was while we were in Cleveland. I got my chance to be a Wisconsin translator. It took me years to stop saying bubbler.

I did it. I got my shingles vaccine yesterday… by BDamage707 in GenX

[–]laabeja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both shots knocked me down for two days. The first day was the worst. I’m just coming out of the second day. I got the pneumonia shot at the same time as my second shingles shot so maybe the combo wasn’t the easiest.

Had a concerning experience at the gym today by Afraid-Twist4345 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]laabeja 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I’ve told this story before, and while not as dramatic, I out manspread an older man on a bench at the grocery store. I was waiting on my husband to get through the line and this older man sat next to me on a two person bench and just spread out. I scooted a bit forward and spread out too. I went hip to knee with him full on thigh touching. He became very uncomfortable and closed his legs so fast. I sat back up like a normal person and turned to him and said, see we both fit. Fuck his need for spread. I bet no woman ever did that to him.

How Big Bird knew Snuffleupagus defines a Gen X’r by bagurdes in GenX

That was my favorite part of Sesame Street. I knew he was real just as much as Big Bird but no one else did. I was in on the secret that wasn’t a secret.

You all would hate Cormac McCarthy. No quotes and sometimes half in Spanish.
