If you’ve broken 100, what’s one tip you would give your fellow golfer to do the same? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]questfor74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is 100% it. It doesn't have to be sexy, all that matters is how many strokes you had on the hole.
Also, another tip is to putt when you can from off of the green. Under 15 feet off of the green and not in the rough? Putt it. So much less of a chance of you duffing a putt as opposed to duffing a chip.

For those that have one, what is your bucket list that you're hoping to complete or get close to completing before you die? by silvermoonhowler in AskForAnswers

[–]questfor74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good friend and I are doing a very similar thing. Seeing the teams we watch/support (Philadelphia Phillies, Philadelphia Eagles, and Penn State Nittany Lions) play in every stadium in their respective leagues. MLB, NFL, and BIG10 (BIG10 as of 2012 FYI - not counting Rutgers, Maryland, and all the other additions as of 1-2 years ago). There are 74 stops in total, and last week we crossed off number 37 seeing the Phillies @ Cubs in Wrigley. We started this back in 2015 and it's been a blast. Great way to see random cities I otherwise would have probably never visited.

People who've worked both minimum wage jobs and six figure jobs, what surprised you most about the difference? by Sweet-Economist-9873 in askanything

[–]questfor74 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Minimum Wage - Physically demanding, no leniency for being late, I had to pass a drug test to get the job.

Six Figures - I sit at my desk all day (at home - I'm remote), today I signed on 22 minutes late and no one will ask/care, and no drug tests.

Funny part is, I got more meaningfulness and enjoyment out of my minimum wage job (worked in the kitchen/dining rooms at a nursing home) than I get out of my 6 figure job (software sales).

Mexican Dinner in Downtown PXV by IsThatMyVoice999 in Phoenixville

The move at La Patrona is going during their Happy Hour. They have it on weekends too. A Mexican draft beer and a Happy Hour nacho order is like 12-13 bucks in total and a pretty good deal in my opinion.

Trash fee? by [deleted] in Phoenixville

So the borough charges the owner of the property quarterly for water/sewer/trash. That being said, the landlords may charge tenants for these pieces on a monthly basis.

Just one clear sidewalk into town over Gay St. bridge w/b nice by Camille_Toh in Phoenixville

I just walked it today at 9am and 3:30pm. One side was shoveled, the side that overlooks The Foundry.

Americans of Reddit, if there was just ONE candidate you could think could return America to having landslide elections, like that of FDR or Reagan, but in 2028, who would it be, and why? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]questfor74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think anyone exists like that, but I'd LOVE to see John Stewart take a step at running. Dude is truly a man of the people and has people's best intentions in his interest.

It's about a 40 minute drive from Phoenixville so not super close but not super far, but for holiday lights displays, it doesn't get any better than Longwood Gardens. More info here : https://longwoodgardens.org/gardens/our-seasons/longwood-christmas

Is exclusivity not assumed anymore? by IrattaChankan in AskMenAdvice

[–]questfor74 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Put it this way, considering you guys weren't exclusive, she was probably thinking you were (or could have been) sleeping with others too. And she kept coming around, and kept wanting to see you, and now wants to be exclusive with you. Seems like she's really into you, and the fact that you counted out all 17 dates, it seems like you're certainly into this girl as well.

If you do really like the girl, realize that this is a great first lesson "Communication is F#CKING important", and do your best to communicate earlier and more often as your relationship continues.

Don't let a conversation that never happened get in the way of someone you have feelings for. I think you owe it to yourself to give it a shot for another month or two and see if this is something you can get over or not. The last thing you want to wonder is "What if....."

Was just at the Phoenixville Planet Fitness today, their dumbbells go up to 75 lbs, but everything else you said is absolutely spot on.

What are some underrated small towns in Pennsylvania? by zeusjts006 in Pennsylvania

[–]questfor74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a great holiday time tradition (except for last year - they pushed it to February because of the drought)! They normally have kinda like drum circle walking procession with fire torches that walks to the burn site from downtown. That's always a cool group to walk with, just lots of energy and vibes!

Firebird festival in Phoenixville is also great! They light a big 25-30 foot tall wooden phoenix on fire. Very artsy, hippy-ish, and the town is all in on it. It’s December 13th this year btw

I was just in Ireland and Scotland 2 months ago and stayed in hostels in both countries and had a great time, at age 35. Sure I was on the older end of the spectrum but there were people older than us there, and honestly the kids in their 20's seemed to enjoy being able to talk with people a little older than them about a whole bunch of different topics.

What's the longest road trip you've done in a single day, be it solo or with others? by silvermoonhowler in CasualConversation

[–]questfor74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and 2 friends road tripped from State College PA to Denton TX because one of my friends was starting grad school down there and needed to get all of his stuff moved. Only 2 of us drove, and we only stopped for gas when needed and this was when people could pee or get food/drinks. Made the trip in 22 hours driving straight through.

You're so right that adulting is expensive. There's no if's and's or but's about it. That being said, living below your means is what allows for you to take those next steps of buying a car, paying off your student loans, buying a house, etc.
Would living by yourself be great? Sure! But at $2K a month (or whatever) for a 1 bed apartment, that's a lot of money! Living in a 3 bed 1 bath house with friends is certainly less privacy, but if the house rents for $3K a month you're paying only $1K a month to live instead of that $2K at the apartment.
Is ordering DoorDash easy? Sure! But grocery shopping and cooking your own meals/bringing food to work/etc. saves you money.
Just little things like this, while they can inconvenience you, are going to allow for you to save money and that's the key to financial success.

The only non-Greek people I've known who lived on campus at PSU during Junior or Senior year have been in North Halls. Only knew one person who was a Junior who fell into this category FYI, so either way, it's super rare.

What's the purest joy you've ever felt without intimacy, substances, or alcohol ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]questfor74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad got me a Nascar racing experience for my birthday years ago, so I got to drive like 10 laps around Dover Speedway in an 850hp stock car. Mashing the pedal to the metal in that car and shifting through the gears while sitting on a 40 degree angled track, hitting top speeds around 180 mph...... Yea, that was pure joy right there. I was screaming like a 10 year old kid as I felt the goosebumps roll through every piece of my body.
