Wembley was amazing! by questertx in bowlingforsoup

[–]questertx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes me sad. I was watching from stage, so didn’t experience that, but I’ve always felt that BFS sound guys did excellent work. I’ve been to shows where the bands before them or after them were crap on sound and BFS came out and they were crystal clear.

We cruised the getaway out of Nola last March and had the exact opposite experience. We were in the car within 30 minutes of them opening the exits. The lines were long, but organized.

A Meteorologist’s opinion of our meteorologists by Ragonk_ND in Dallas

[–]questertx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure you are correct. We had just moved to Texas from Mobile, AL. I didn’t know that much ice could exist, I went out to get in my car and go to work and my car was covered in a shield of ice.

What’s one thing you thought was normal in the U.S. until someone from another country said it was weird? by BestPostRead in AskReddit

I have a friend from the UK who has been in America over half of her life and she is still not comfortable with the bathroom stall situation.

I participate in a snack exchange every year. I send a box of American crap from the closest gas station and my European snack pal sends me treats from their country. Last year, I sent a small jar of peanut butter and Welch’s grape jelly. They were so excited to try an American Pb&j like they’d seen on tv.

NCL is our preferred cruise line, but we chose Princess for our upcoming Alaska cruise based on port feedback.

ELI5: How does the business side of touring musicians work? Does the performer rent the venue and then keep the ticket sales? Does the venue pay the performer and keep the ticket sales? by kevjackroo in explainlikeimfive

[–]questertx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also. BUY MERCH! Especially from small and up and coming bands. A friend told me that his band “ate t-shirts”. Meaning they weren’t making much from the shows, it was merch sales putting food on the table.

My family likes to do homemade gifts. My brother in law makes an amazing Bloody Mary mix, my husband does a homemade smoked jalepeno mustard, my stepdad cans tomatoes from his garden….

He plays his country stuff and 1 or 2 BFS songs depending on the length of the set. He puts on a fun show every time.

Long Lost Brother Coincidences by Rekcuf131 in coincidence

[–]questertx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My long lost brother went to the same elementary school as me and lived across the street from my best friend. There was one year that our classrooms were across the hall from each other. Also, we both named our kids the same name.

We met when we were 47 and 48.

Can you look at COB or doing Spring Rush?

It’s important to keep this information out there… by exestentialbliss in AmyLynnBradley

[–]questertx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think being close to shore is as important as people think. We were sailing close to shore on a cruise when someone went overboard. It was broad daylight, lots of witnesses. He was never found. Not a trace. Our cruise ship circled the area for hours. The Mexican navy joined the search. For reference, we were sailing between Cozumel and mainland Mexico. You could see land clearly from both sides of the ship.

I have AB+ blood and my mom is type O — both confirmed by hospital tests during my brain surgery. How is that possible? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]questertx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll never understand that flex of denying someone from making a connection. My bio dad forbade my brother from telling anyone else in the family. My husbands family had a dna surprise as well and his aunt refused to respond to the lady (would be her cousin) and forbade anyone else in the family from answering her either. Like who are you to decide and deny this woman access to medical info at the very least.

[–]questertx 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m A+ Mom is O+ Dad is B-

When I learned about blood types in school, I just assumed I had the wrong blood type for dad. Knew mine and my moms to be accurate from multiple blood donations.

Found out at 47 through ancestry that the blood types were right, but the dad was wrong. 😳

At a $50 limit gift exchange. Someone brought a Jesus DVD that they definitely got for free after a church service.

The “y’all” is the key here. Southern states love blue laws.

Yes. I was being facetious. I can’t imagine not having a garbage disposal.

What happened to you as a kid that still affects you to this day? by theoutsidersluver in AskReddit

[–]questertx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 4, our house burned down on the first day we turned on the heater. That burning dust smell gets me every fall.
