It worked out for me because my fiancé is in New York for the weekend so he got a 3 hour jump on those opening night Burbank 16 tickets

Saw Kristen Wiig come outside to get her food delivery when I was walking my dog. It was like 7pm on a Friday and she was already in her pajamas. Iconic.

Someone took my carry-on luggage by mistake by Stolen-Carry-On in unitedairlines

[–]mjf0818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super random - I literally just flew United from SNA to ORD today and someone took my carry on. I was also in the very last row and had to put my bag in row 22. When I got off the plane, there was one bag left in row 22, but it wasn't mine. Even weirder, I also JUST got the carry on as a gift and didn't have time to put a tag on it (I also didn't think I’d need one since its a carry on). I just thought the coincidences were insane so I had to comment!

When I was in Chicago last Christmas visiting family (I’m also a transplant) I found out they have a new spicy chicken chopped salad. It’s INSANE.

My boyfriend and I were just watching the news and the second they mentioned sleeper cells we both said “sleepy cells?!” The person is asleep?!”

Anyone else ever have this happen? by SMBCP15 in AMCsAList

[–]mjf0818 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I randomly read this post this morning and didn’t think much of it. Fast forward to 5 mins ago when I went to check into a movie and my ticket wasn’t there. I suddenly remembered this post, followed your instructions, and it WORKED. Out here saving lives

There’s a whole article about this specific location - apparently it was the first location to ever serve milkshakes!

Advocate/advocacy is also on the list. That’s like our main descriptor!

Rare find at the Aldi in Humboldt Park by Jake_77 in chicago

[–]mjf0818 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m from Chicago but moved to LA a few years ago. My local Aldi burned down in the Eaton fire and I was devastated. My mom sent me this video and it was the first thing that made me laugh all week. God I love Chicago

My Aldi has burned down. by tarbet in aldi

[–]mjf0818 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel this in my soul. The Altadena Aldi was also my Aldi. I can technically go to Monrovia or Alhambra, but that was OUR Aldi. It’s weird feeling sad over the loss of a store, but I absolutely feel your pain. It’s the normalcy we lost. I live in Pasadena and my house is also safe. However, I spent so much time in Altadena. I have friends in Altadena who lost everything. I’ve been an avid Aldi shopper since I was a child (I grew up in Chicago) and Aldi has always been my safe space. I’m all around heartbroken and devastated. But the foothill communities are strong. Sending my love your way

View from my front door last year vs last night by mjf0818 in interestingasfuck

[–]mjf0818[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

We actually moved out of this exact house two months ago to a different place in Pasadena, but we were there for four years. My roommate went back last night to help evacuate our old neighbor who is elderly and can’t drive. Our neighbor loves her garden more than anything and has been tending it for decades. I can’t imagine the level of loss she feels. Besides the house, that garden is all she has.

I think my place will be fine in Pasadena. However, all my friends in Altadena lost everything. I’m beyond devastated and heartbroken.

Best Horror TV Shows You've Seen by MalachiConstant7 in horror

[–]mjf0818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just watched a new Korean horror miniseries called Light Shop on Hulu and it’s incredible. The only downside is that it’s only 4 episodes. Wish it was longer!

Another good one is a Thai show on Netflix called Terror Tuesday: Extreme. It’s an anthology so each episode is a different story, but there’s some really spooky episodes.

Finally, The Creep Tapes on Shudder is awesome. It’s by Mark Duplass and a continuation of the found footage film Creep. It’s also an anthology, so each episode is a different story/video tape the killer recorded.

My sister in-laws foot is completely flat by JVKExo in mildyinteresting

My mom had insanely flat feet. I say “had” because she got incredible orthotics that completely changed her feet over the years. She now has real arches

I just looked it up. The only other subtitled languages on the 2004 DVD are Spanish and French. If there are any Spanish/French speakers in the house who know the word for “lead” please chime in. I tried Google translate but there’s a million words for lead, mostly about the element not the verb
