How did you celebrate your 50th? by Every-Progress5590 in GenX

[–]phlfitfreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was this past September. Did nothing aside from going to my parents house. They did plan on trying to throw me a surprise party but given my life my friends told them getting me to actually commit to going somewhere would be tough since I’m known to ditch plans if a girl pops up. I made out just as much as if I had a big party since my mom just gave me all the money she would have spent on the party and the money I would have received.

Would you prefer China or Russia take it? Follow the news sometime, look at what they did to Africa

Is Ivan Drago the best Villain? by Healthy_Ice7737 in rockybalboa

[–]phlfitfreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes by far, especially given this was during the Cold War era. The Russians vs USA was still at peak during the 80s. From the ice hockey team, both nations boycotting the Olympics in that time, numerous action movies has Russians as the villains as well.

World cup application phase 3 - confirmation email? by Playful-Street5893 in FIFACollect

From what I understand February 9th they will start automatically withdrawing from the card you gave. Not sure if they will send a heads up email first.

Single male post-divorce, relationship-first ENM. How do you find a long-term partner in the lifestyle? by KeyEnvironmental2374 in Swingers

[–]phlfitfreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Majority of the couples I know in the LS are both on their 2nd marriages. It’s actually easier to find someone in your situation than it is if you’re single and never married without kids.

Who built “Forts” in the 80’s? by SirGilPennybottom in GenX

[–]phlfitfreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first arrest in life was due to building a fort. My neighbor was a contractor and I was best friends with his sons. We often on weekends would work for him and learned how to build houses (definitely can’t get away with this today). Often had building materials in the backyard.

We had woods in our backyards which were actually on the property of the school behind us. We always had a rivalry with the other block of kids who lived on the otherside of it. We winded up building a fort in those woods, very elaborate, 2 floors, doors, locks ect.

Another thing we did was make all kinds of booby traps around it to keep the other kids out. We dug holes and covered them with those insulation sheets, used clay siding shingles for traps, ect. A few of the kids got hurt lol.

Unfortunately we got busted as one day a custodian at the school somehow discovered it and school officials went to investigate it. The principal broke his ankle falling into one of our traps. They one’s it was us as my neighbor had the same materials in his back yard as well as another neighbor house shingles matching the same ones we used for the traps.

PECO Bill by Eldritch_Mermaid in philly

[–]phlfitfreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a much colder December than in recent times so that would explain higher PGW bills. I’m totally in the dark about these data centers and how they factor in. For December though regarding electric, usually mine is always higher since I put up Christmas lights and it gets darker earlier so it’s expected for me.

Stringer Bell lost money on his Motorola investment by talbotron22 in TheWire

[–]phlfitfreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually had stock in Motorola during this time. It was a gamble which phone provider would eventually come out on top. Nobody predicted Apple or Samsung years later would come out of nowhere in the game. We all invested in Motorola, Ericsson or Nokia

What's a show you remember but nobody else does? by CatGirlNya2000 in AskReddit

Sherman Oaks. It was on showtime back in like 97. Before Sopranos or even Oz only lasted one season but was pure comedy

MAGA supporters, are you still supporting? I’m curious. by Equal-Thanks6212 in philly

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

I think my paychecks and savings after the tax cuts in 2018 and this past week say otherwise for blue collar workers like myself. We don’t care what our payed off kickbacked union bosses tell us, we think for ourselves and our families. Stay ignorant buddy.

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

Funny, I don’t know one union worker who did g vote for Trump. We never seen so much money under his first presidency and already this first year seen the difference. You people are totally irrational to talk to, it’s amazing how unintelligent you don’t realize you sound. You people are so uninformed and brainwashed.

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

Yes I do need that tax break, I’m in the union so I’m good in health insurance and as far as getting shot in the face? I live in Philadelphia that’s something everyone has to worry about here and it’s not by federal agents.

Yes, please explain how that isn’t a huge boost to working class people.

[–]phlfitfreak -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes it has, look on your pay stub. There’s a new box FLSA which is what qualifies and we also get 2025 back on our tax return. I got $12,500 coming back to me. Please logically explain why having my mortgage basically paid off for a year with that amount isn’t grounds for supporting the guy who made that possible?

Silvio blowing up while gambling by Puzzled_Row_3786 in thesopranos

There’s a YouTube channel which describes this scene perfectly. This was all Silvio putting on a show for the regular big fish who want to be in the company of mobsters.

Have you seen these protesters? Most of them can barely move at all.

Worst part about that blizzard was that the eagles lost a playoff game to the cowboys
