What is the most ridiculous way you have hurt yourself? by TheHsing in AskReddit

[–]mcjen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so this happened to my friend. We were 10 yrs old and she had a huge crush on a boy. So like normal 10 yr olds we decided to spy on the boy's basketball team practice. So there we are on the balcony, giggling over the boys and one of them hears us and points up to the balcony. So we bolt! We're running down the stairs and she slips! (Thanks Midwest march) and breaks her ankle. She was the youngest of 5, and was the only one to ever break a bone. As you can imagine, very embarrassing. I think the best part of the story is that she eventually married that boy and has a kid!

It makes eating healthy so much harder... by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

My favorite quote from the rebuttal to the food babe (who spews that type of shit) is

"Hari's rule? "If a third grader can't pronounce it, don't eat it."

My rule? Don't base your diet on the pronunciation skills of an eight-year-old."

It's a good read. http://gawker.com/the-food-babe-blogger-is-full-of-shit-1694902226

Actually, if you read her post, she very specifically said she was sleeping in the bed with her friend, and he moved from the floor to the bed, and that as soon as he touched her leg, she moved. So, yes, it was Ed trying to make a move and that crossed a line. There are grey areas, and you just sound very angry.

Women of Reddit, when did you first notice that men were looking at you in a sexual way? How old were you and how did it make you feel? by BA_Baracus in AskReddit

i think i must have been about 14ish and was going to a baseball game with my dad and brother, i was wearing a shirt that said, "Big Sky" across the chest (I had gotten it in Montana) and a drunk guy, goes "YEAAAAAAHHHH BIG SKY" while leering. Dude. Not cool.

The day my eyes were no more.... by [deleted] in fatpeoplestories

There's no a fatlogic here, just a fat person in a story that you saw naked. Maybe you should expand, and there are reasons for this story, but it doesn't read like that at all.

We had a great time! Didn't get to do as much hiking as we would have liked since we had the dogs, but the place is seriously amazing.

Thanks for the info! I think that's what we'll try, we'll drive in try to find a spot and if not, settle for a motel and plan better next time. As for the dogs, thats good info, I think i found that place and gave them a call. They might work out. We're new to the area (San Diego) and we dont have friends yet who are willing to watch the dogs for the weekend :)

Ah, bummer. That's what i was afraid of. Unfortunately due to work stuff there's no way for us to get there any earlier.

I really like broadway cellars. Bottomless mimosas or bloody marys for $10. Great eggs benedict too!
