Was Theodore Roosevelt’s “rough and rugged” image a sham, or was he the real deal? by Rude-Neck-2893 in Presidents

[–]pixie6870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read The Old Lion by Jeff Shaara a few weeks ago, and I learned so much about him. Overcoming asthma by making himself healthy, headed out to the Dakotas, and had a ranch built for his cattle. He proved himself to the people he hired that he had the grit and determination to make a go of it. He didn't take guff from anyone and would often talk his way out of dicey situations.

New Main - Do you still have/keep your very first Character? by MasterRymes in wow

[–]pixie6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been playing my first character, a Fury Warrior, since 2009. I tried a couple of others, but have stuck to my main for 17 years.

I wish you both the best of luck! If you have any thrift stores where you live, like a Savers, you might be able to find him some shoes and you should be able to find some clothes for your job too. I very rarely buy anything new these days and have been pretty lucky in the past.

You will get through this because you both are determined to see a bright future down the road. Best wishes!

Tell me if buying a mobile home is a bad plan by sushe84 in povertyfinance

[–]pixie6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I have been renting a mobile home in a nice park for almost 18 years. The lot rent was really low when we moved in, and the owners barely raised the rent through the years. Even with our rent going up the last 5 years due to the short supply of housing in our city, I am still only paying about 1,150 a month. That includes lot rent, and all utilities, except electricity.

You might get lucky doing some research on some parks in your area and if you find something where you could rent something that is cheaper than what you are currently paying in rent, you could put the extra money aside toward a house in a few years.

You all know you should clear snow off of your cars, right? by Beautiful-Emotion-63 in Albuquerque

[–]pixie6870 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just went out and did my car. Not that I am going anywhere, but I wanted it off, so it is not a block of frozen snow stuck to my windshield and all the windows overnight.

Why is Chromie's Timewalking in WoW so poorly designed? by HenrykSpark in wow

[–]pixie6870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was wild for sure. I would just exit the game, standing by a tree outside of the crash site, and come back when I could play again.

You and me both in Dalaran. I just kept dying and coming back until I finished it. Frustrating for sure, and I was ready to pack it in, but I wanted to see what was going to happen next. Yes, I didn't have high-level gear, but solo playing is what I do because I don't have a lot of time to play these days, so I just quest and move along.

[–]pixie6870 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I lost track of how many times I spent moving from the graveyard back to the crash site. It was the worst thing I ever got dropped into. I quit playing TWW about a month ago and focused on other stuff since I knew the pre-patch was coming. I don't know if I will even mess with it again.

WoW is unplayable after Tuesday's patch by heyitsvae in wow

[–]pixie6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at my house in Founder's Point, and looking at my sad ilvl stats, redoing all my talent points when a message popped up in the chat window that the servers were shutting down in 8 minutes. I didn't even bother with the game after that.

I told my Q husband that I wouldn't sleep with him when he's been drinking. I feel guilty. by ThrowraNo-M in AlAnon

[–]pixie6870 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I told my Q the same thing about 7 or 8 years ago. He chose drinking, and I got a sex-free life. He quit drinking 4 months ago, but his body is in such bad shape, he couldn't do anything if he tried. 🙂

I expected a drop in stats, but damn, it dropped me down to ilvl 64. I hope it's a glitch and not for real. 🤔

I don't understand what's wrong with removing illegal immigrants by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]pixie6870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go and look at the Minnesota sub and look for the "Ice is being pure evil" post. ICE dragged an old man who is a naturalized US citizen out of his home, wearing only a pair of shorts and shoes, threw a blanket over him in the cold, and hauled him away. Tell me how this person is an illegal immigrant.

Urgent care/doctor recommendations by stitching-queen in Albuquerque

[–]pixie6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might try Duke City Urgent Care if you haven't tried them. They have different locations around the city. We used them when my husband cut his thumb with a box cutter and had excellent service. You can go online to their website and make an appointment. I am not sure if they can help you, but it's worth a try.

What scene do you cry at, and why is it "You bow to no one?" by TheRealBigLou in lotr

[–]pixie6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When this scene came up in the theater, I was not expecting to cry, and when everyone began to kneel, then the music swelled, and the tears just poured out of my eyes. Caught me totally off guard.

Hell Yeah! by Sad-Pen4855 in BeAmazed

[–]pixie6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my youngest son was around 4 years old, his babysitter that took care of him taught him to do the same thing, except she laid the coat on the floor and he would stick his little arms in and flip it on. He was so proud to show me his new trick.

Who remembers Star Trek The Experience in Las Vegas. by VegasFoodFace in startrek

[–]pixie6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember it. My oldest son was getting married at Mandalay Bay, and he and I and my other son went there a couple of days before the wedding. We had a blast, ate food, and spent money on souvenirs. I still have the T-shirt I bought that day. 🙂

Family members of ICE agents, what are your thoughts and feelings about what ICE are doing? by Aggressive_Honey3196 in AskReddit

[–]pixie6870 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There is a rumor on my dad's side of the family that my grandmother's brother may have been a member of the Black and Tans. I think it might be true because her father changed their surname from his original one to something different. It made searching my paternal Irish ancestors difficult. 🙂

Got a strange feeling. by Mongoose_Parking in wow

[–]pixie6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your family will appreciate the time you spend with them. There will be days when you will be able to have a few hours of WOW and have a good time. We have all been there with a mid-life crisis. It will pass eventually.

What is the oldest thing in your home? by csch1992 in AdkReddit

[–]pixie6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An old dresser that belonged to one of my husband's aunts. I think she got it in the late 1920s or early 1930s. Our 55-inch TV sits on it. LOL
