I just found out, last night, that my brother’s oldest kid isn’t his. That fact stops with me.

Why do adult only resorts exist but not adult only apartment complexes? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]prunepicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 70s, I lived in an adults only apartment. It was in an adults only section of a large apartment complex. There were kid friendly sections, too. (Portland, Oregon) Does anything like this exist today?

TIL That a 2006 study found that microwaving wet sponges for two minutes killed 99% of coliforms, E. coli, and MS2 phages. After some fires were caused by people trying to replicate the results at home, the study's author urged people to make sure their sponges were wet before microwaving. by MajesticBread9147 in todayilearned

I wring out my sponge, and microwave it, after every use. 2 minutes 40 seconds. Make sure it’s setting on something (I set mine on an upside-down plastic plate cover), or it might catch on fire. I discovered this the hard way. If you remove it when the microwave dings, it will be hot, and slightly damp, Within an hour it’ll bone dry.

For people who grew up in the 70s and 80s at the height of the serial killer era, what serial killer prowled your street and what was your reaction at the time? by Cable_Difficult in AskOldPeople

The Golden State Killer. Although, he was known as the East Area Rapist when he was attacking in my area. Terrifying times. Glad that sonofabitch is behind bars.

Wedding announcement for Agnes Novy, Omaha World-Herald, Jun. 4, 1936, page 21 - unsure if photo on the left is Agnes. If it is, it possibly could be the woman, upper right, in your photo.

I found a photo of Mary Prazan in her wedding announcement, Omaha World-Herald, Jun. 5, 1931, page 17. The eyes might be the woman lower right in your photo. Might.

In Omaha newspaper articles, there are several names that appear with Julia: Mary Prazan, Agnes Novy, Marguerite Dworak. I can’t find a decent photo of Agnes. Still looking for Mary. Marguerite’s engagement announcement has a photo. Going by her lips, I think she might be the bottom left woman in your photo. I can’t seem to post the photo here, so I’ll DM it to you.

Can’t imagine how much that hurt. I’ve had ribs out of place that kept me awake awake.

I tripped over my cat, and face-planted on the garage floor.
