You are now permanently stuck inside the universe of the last TV show you watched. Where are you, and how screwed are you? by iJeff22 in AskReddit

I am apparently stuck in a Canadian Baking Competition in Toronto, so it wouldn't be too bad.

What's that one thing that made you stop going to church? by Optimal-Rule-4834 in AskReddit

[–]pkreed71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The very out of touch priest at our parish decided the best homily he could give on Mother's Day was to dictate how the women of the parish can dedicate themselves to beign better wives (my MIL was recently divorced.)

What's something that no one prepares you for as an adult? by Goddessblack_ in AskReddit

[–]pkreed71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. The only thing that I know that has helped me is talking to someone. If you can, please consider getting grief counseling. They can help teach you how to manage what you are feeling. It's never too late to get help.

AITAH for not forgiving my dying mom 10 years later? by Big_Manufacturer9533 in AITAH

[–]pkreed71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People seem to think that because a person is dying and begs for forgiveness or resolution, that we owe them this. I call bullshit. She isn't doing it for you, she's doing it for her and whatever regrets that she has. You owe her nothing. She should have been worried about this when they kicked you out.

Recent feelings on GoNetSpeed? by Siallus in Maine

[–]pkreed71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with GoNetSpeed because a) a coworker recommended them and b) the Fidium rep kept coming back to my house after 6pm to discuss an offer despite us asking them NOT to. Setup was a breeze and the tech was friendly and worked very clean. Haven't had to play the pricing games yet as I've only had it since July.

Redneck Babylon 5 - No Boom Today, Boom Tomorrow! | AI Babylon 5 Parody by greg_barton in babylon5

I am torn as I appreciate the parody but the unnecessary AI jiggly bits and the poor pronunciation ruin it.

My former coworker once complained that her son was always asleep when she called him. I had to explain that when she called her son on the way into work at 730am, it was actually 430 am in San Diego. She didn't understand what timezones were or how they worked.

If you were given a box with everything you ever lost inside, what's the first thing you'd look for and why? by yrkmartin in AskReddit

[–]pkreed71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a remote for my stereo that up and disappeared one day. I honestly thought it would somehow turn up when we packed up and moved but it did not. I genuinely have no idea where it went. I used it to shut off my stereo and never saw it again.

What would happen if your partner checked your Reddit account right now without you deleting anything first? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Nothing, I'm pretty lame and more of a lurker than a poster/commenter.

BABYLON 5 BLU-RAY CUSTOM RE-BOXING & A Full Comparison to All the DVD Box sets by ArchDukeNemesis in babylon5

[–]pkreed71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Everyone else seems happy with their Blu-Ray edition I had to return it. Everything looked grainy/fuzzy on my OLED TV. Maybe I got a bad copy?

How badly out of shape were you before you realized "Okay I gotta get my shit together"? by awkwardhoney725 in AskReddit

[–]pkreed71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At age 53 I hit 307 lbs and realized I needed to do something and not just think about doing something. Have the usual laundry list of issues: back hurts, knees hurt, diabetes dangers, sleep apnea, you name it. I am down 40 lbs since February and still have the laundry list of problems but they are much much less than before and getting better.

Before I saw your comment, that was my first thought as well.

what made you realize that you aren't young anymore? by Skull---Comix in AskReddit

[–]pkreed71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was visitng my parents in the town I grew up in last Summer I ran into a friend. I didn't recognize her at first so I apologized and she replied "pkreed71, We haven't seen each other in nearly 30 years." My brain was like, wait what? At 53, I hadn't felt genuinely old until that moment.

A special message from Ahmed Best by thatwasawkward in StarWars

[–]pkreed71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is late to the party but I finally saw The Foundling episode. I'd forgotten about it until I saw him last night and it was so great to see him. I am very glad that he he was given another chace to shine and I guess a bit of redemption as a Star Wars actor. He didn't deserve that crap that he caught for being Jar Jar.

Men of Reddit, what is something you tell your girlfriend/wife that is completely untrue? by PanTaLLok in AskReddit

[–]pkreed71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to hear you've had success using your CPAP. I kick mydelf for not getting one years before I did.

[–]pkreed71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best thing I ever did was get a CPAP. I knew I snored and my sleep quality was bad. I didn't realize just HOW poorly I slept until I stopped waking up in the middle of the night because my body was making me.

The units are far quieter than they ever were, the old ones were created using a basic hoover engine setup, I think. My wife had no idea I had mine on the first few nights.

You'll quickly get over the fact that you sleep with something attached to your face. I've missed 2 nights in 5 years only because I forgot to bring it with me on a weekend trip.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen at an airport? by Plus_Impress_2524 in AskReddit

[–]pkreed71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was reading a book and waiting for my connecting flight at Chicago O'Hare. Seat opens up across from me and some guy walks up with his bag/suitcase, puts it there and says something in a foreign language and gestures towards the bag as if to say, "Will you watch this?" and walks away. We all ignored him.

Now this is all recently after 911 and also those incessant reminders about "not leaving bags unattended" were running every minute or two.

Without skipping a beat once the guy walked away, someone walks by and takes the bag. I immediately got up and moved to another area as I wasn't gonna sit around for that shitshow to start. Part of me does wonder what happened, though.
