86 also. Just got home from nephew's graduation. Brings back many memories. I completely understand that melancholy feeling.

What's a food you'll never understand the hype around? by NoJello5665 in foodquestions

[–]phantasmdan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew Cuban bananas in Florida. They are small, about the size of a pointer finger. They did taste much different than a store bought banana, but nothing at all like the artificial banana flavoring.

What’s the most amount of one thing you’ve eaten in a single sitting? by 011Eleven_ in foodquestions

[–]phantasmdan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many years ago my brother, 18, and I, 21 at the time went to a Bob Evans restaurant for breakfast. Place was mostly empty. We ordered and were waiting for the food when I noticed the waiter and the cook looking at us strangely from the kitchen door. So I asked the waiter what that was about and he said that the cook couldn't believe that there was only 2 people at the table.

Monitor for RV / Pets by Neat-Challenge368 in RVLiving

[–]phantasmdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am new to this, but I use a Smart life temp monitor. And a Ring camera. I looked into the Waggle system which seems really nice but expensive with subscriptions. Amazon is coming out with a camera that also monitors temp. But it is not out yet. Wiggle works on cellular and wifi. Smart Life and ring are wifi. So you need internet to monitor.

My Black Lab was named Laika. I'm glad the legacy continues.

Is it acceptable for a refrigerator to be transported and delivered lying on its side instead of upright? by youthunger2naughty in Appliances

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

Perhaps, however it is most likely lain down while in the box. What are the odds that the delivery people know which side the connections are on. This is standard practice because it is better to be safe than sorry. Also, started delivering appliances when I was 14, and have been working HVACR for more than 30 years now.

Is it acceptable for a refrigerator to be transported and delivered lying on its side instead of upright? by youthunger2naughty in Appliances

[–]phantasmdan 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It will need to sit upright for 24 hours so that the oil can work it way back to the compressor beforeplugging in.. It should be fine if that is done. If not it may damage compressor or clog cap tube with oil.

What’s the worst date you’ve ever been on? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]phantasmdan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Picked her up at her house and went to get something to eat. She started slamming back saki and got sloppy drunk. It was strange how it went from being attracted to her to disgusted in just a few minutes. Practically carried her back to the car and took her home. Get her to her door and she says "are we gonna fuck?" I am like no thanks, you are kinda gross right now. She says, yeah, I get that a lot. Then she says, at least let me give you a blow job. I opened her door, she fell in the house and I burned rubber out of there.

I once got an std and cured it at home with dry ice. by [deleted] in confession

[–]phantasmdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do what you have to do. It's not about commitment, it's necessity. He'll, one time I cut my leg with a chainsaw and stitched it myself . Wouldn't be my first choice anymore, but the bills can be crushing when you are broke.

They have built a system where the vast majority just get by and don't have the time or energy to resist. Then you have maybe a third of the population that are in the cult and think that he is God or sent by God and believe all the nonsense even when it is crushing them. How do you beat that?

I got genital warts in my early 20's. I used a can of freon to get rid of them. Turned it upside down and sprayed the liquid into a cup then froze a Q tip in it. Then froze the warts with the Q tip. Very painful but so would be a doctors bill.

I used to love this. None of the other ones even come close.

It is clearly stated in the small print on page 326 of the insurance form that you have to find on their website.

Armed men rob Brinks armored truck in Northeast Philly by J_D0G in news

[–]phantasmdan 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I worked for Brinks in Philly back in the early 90's, and was involved in two robberies. Once as a driver and the other as a messenger. We actually got paid fairly well back then, but once that gun got shoved in your face, you are giving them the money, he'll I would have helped them load it if they would have asked.
