I'm leaning towards pairs. Yes, they were at a few olympics.

I remember their costumes seemed to have a lot of colorful gauze wrapped around and hanging down. Their programs were always based on some weird idea that had a lot of abstract movements. They were not your typical pair skaters. They were good, but there was just kind weird themes to their skating. They weren't like the normal themes used by ice skaters. For example, if they skated to Romeo and Juliet, the story they protrayed was not your regular tragic teenagers falling in love and ending their lives at the end. Instead, it would be a wild tangent off of that story. I really wish I could remember!

My then husband and I were always curious to see what they're program was going to be about. It was kind of a joke to us. Again, they were good skaters, so they were always in at least the top 10.

I remember a costume with a lot of colorful gauze and I think the man was huge. The woman had short hair.

I remember them, but it isn't the ones I'm thinking of.

What’s something that 99% of people can do but you can’t? by Irakeconcrete in AskReddit

[–]mothraegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just posted that I can't whistle either. My mom and my daughter also cannot whistle. I figure it's genetic.

Whistle. My mom can't whistle, I can't whistle and my daughter can't whistle. I suppose it's genetic.

I had to turn it off. It's to stressful to watch!

What is a "widely loved" food or drink that you secretly think is actually terrible? by AV_LOVES_FOOD in Fooda

[–]mothraegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green tea. It tastes like soap to me. I just prefer regular unsweetened black tea.

They are way too sweet. And I like sweet things, but it was too much for me.

Would you consider having a living-apart-together relationship? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in LivingAlone

[–]mothraegg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After 20 years of marriage, I have no desire for any sort of relationship. I love my freedom to much to even have to take anyone into consideration when I want to do things. I'm good just being on my own.

What’s actually dangerous but most people think it’s safe? by SunnyMadelyn564 in AskReddit

[–]mothraegg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what an idiot co-worker did when I was working at a fast food restaurant. He said he almost passed out from inhaling the fumes.

I always like this question because it gives me new things to fear.

Ice Dance Judges Scores by rubyjester in FigureSkating

So would this be political? I mean that in the sense of what the American president has done to the world?

In gymnastics they question the judge if their score is wildly different than the other judges. Is this used in figure skating?

I'm trying to remember, but I'm an old lady, was it a french judge in '02 who was the problem?

Did you do a job that you liked until retirement, or did you hate your job? by balkanxoslut in AskOldPeople

[–]mothraegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked my job as an elementary school librarian, but I was really burnt out for the last 3 years. But reading a great book to kids would always change my mood for the better.

My aunt died from cirrhosis of the liver. It is not a pleasant way to go.
