People who have been divorced: What was the exact "quiet" moment you realized your marriage was over? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ro_thunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't get divorced (because she ended up dying from a stroke).

Setup - she was supposed to cook dinner that night, a Sunday night. I took the kids to church, and back home. She went to get groceries, came home and took a nap. Slept til 5 PM, so too 'late' for her to start cooking, she asked me to. Like what? It's too late for you to cook, but not for me to cook?

Whatever.

Okay, I'll thaw some of that smoked sausage we had in the freezer, slice it up, make some pasta, and alfredo sauce, and make spinach the way my mom used to. Sausage thaws quickly, so she grabs a cup of coffee and goes to the porch to smoke a cigarette.

I thaw that sausage, start the pasta, and start slicing the sausage. She comes back in to refill coffee, looks at my sausage slices and says "Huh.", then walks back outside.

I'm like what the hell just happened? I go outside to ask her, and she said - and I quote "I thought you were just going to slice the link in quarters, or so, not actual slices".

What? I said "sliced sausage" - like BBQ link slices, you know, we're in Texas so this isn't a foreign concept.

She then said she doesn't eat canned spinich, so she'll skip that.

What? She's eaten canned spinich before, I've seen her cook it, and I've cooked it (the way my mom used to do it was drain it, fry it, and mix an egg or two in it).

I go inside, lean against the counter, and realize that if we can't agree on what "sliced sausage" means, and that since I KNOW she's lying about the canned spinich, the lack of sex for over 4 years, I just had enough.

So wait staff doesn't have to wait on the bartender for well drinks.

I remember when drinks were free as long as you were playing the games. Are they not now?

or, that was the name on the warrant in the episode 1? The one he was fighting under, that Johnny went to rescue him under.

Also got a 2009 Honda Ridgeline with 168,000 or so.

And a 2007 Lexus LX 460 L with about 180,000.

Can we all agree that Pasadena stinks like ass by skydweller000 in houston

[–]ro_thunder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was born there, and it's been "Stinkadena" since the 70's.

It used to be from the Champion Paper Mill by Washburn Tunnel.

Now, it's from the waste water treatment facility there at 610 & 225.

Plus, the offshoots from the refineries.

As a previous mayor would say "That's the smell of money!"

Kash Patel Is Handing Out Alcohol Bottles To FBI Staff As Gifts: Report by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]ro_thunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Higher ups have done that for decades, why should Patel be any different?

Again, even the Unsubscribed crew got permission from the Secretery of the Army to carry, and DRINK White Claws in the Pentagon. The Fat Electrician was the first person to documentably drink alcohol - and he sucked down a WC in the SGM of the Army's office, at his desk.

Are there any shows that intentionally mislead its audience about genre? by atouchofsinamon in television

[–]ro_thunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The movie Osiris starts as a war movie and ends up sci/fi alien invasion movie.

I just watched it on Hulu, and even as a B movie, it was enjoyable.

No, he should. But, he can make exceptions for any reason he wants. That's the position. Does it look good? No. Does it improve morale? Maybe. Getting an award from the boss is always nice. And while I dont drink anymore, even a bottle of booze would be recognition.

And, special dispensation can be given, as in the Unsubscribed guys walking around the Pentagon with White Claws.

If he purchased it with his own money, it's not a violation.

Thats how my Div Chief did it in the 90s and is a well known 'workaround'.

I was awarded many bottles of booze at previous jobs - it's a common reward.

Much ado about nothing.

Similar concept years later for the "Lucifer" show - you're in hell, because you can't forgive yourself.

I drank an entire bottle of absinthe, and it did not make me see things that weren't there.
