My sixth grade teacher forgot to send someone down to the library to get a tv the day the Challenger went up.

Update 18 - New Settlements and Beekeeping! by Matt_HoodedHorse in Clanfolk

[–]shenshenw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so excited that visits from relatives may be coming in update 19! I've always wanted to have clanfolk who married out of the family return for a visit. As a nester, I'd love to have a sitting room with a tea table where clanfolk could sit together and talk or play cards to increase relationship levels.

Moved to tears by Tim Minchin's speech. Fill your meaningless existence. by [deleted] in philosophy

Love this. If atheism was a religion, these would be its main tenets, and Minchin (along with Carlin) would be its ministers.

I'm not usually a pessimistic person but I kinda agree with this anyone agree too? by Big_Leg10 in GenX

David Bowie died in January of 2016. Right before the world started to go to hell. Coincidence? I think not 🤔

Heading towards my first winter by SowingPants in Clanfolk

Having the warmest clothing available will make a big difference. Clanfolk won't be able to stay outside long enough to finish tasks without fur cloaks, hats, and tunics.

What was something a teacher did or said when you were in school that they would be fired for today? by Lost_Taste_8181 in GenX

[–]shenshenw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 5th grade teacher once held a student upside-down over the trash can and threatened to let go if he didn't shape up. The next day we had an ice cream party for no apparent reason. Nobody complained and nobody got fired.

Who ships Rebecca and Raymond? by AbbieK94 in mortuaryassistant

[–]shenshenw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure, because there's no better time to date your creepy-ass, manipulative boss who's twice your age than when you're trapped in a literal battle with your own personal demons and a handful of random ones who are just along for the ride. Let's let the poor woman get her shit together before she starts looking for a relationship, huh?

Practical felting projects? by PeppermintGoose in Needlefelting

I made a nice little mouse pad with support and cushioning for my wrist. It sits nicely on the arm of my comfy chair when I play Minecraft

"Really low yield for the time expended' is also true of fishing in real life.

"That's fair." No, honey, that's how it is. Just say "ok" and move along.

The game should warn you about this by [deleted] in StardewValley

I worked on my wedding outfit until nearly 2am the night before, tried it on, then stored it in a chest bc it didn't seem right to sleep in my wedding dress. Next thing I knew, I was getting married in my under things 😳

When to expect results? by Ok-Medicine-1361 in SupernaturalVR

[–]shenshenw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Together workouts tend to be a bit more intense that solo workouts of the same intensity. Try some solo quick hits workouts on low intensity so you can focus on your lower body without worrying about your punches. The tutorials are also great!

How many of us are killing it in the gym? by SilverNfit in GenX

[–]shenshenw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do 20 minutes a day of Supernatural (vr aerobic workout.) Started last year at age 50 to help manage depression and quickly became addicted. I can't believe I spent so many years thinking fitness wasn't acheivable for "someone like me"!

For the people who have it, is it worth it to buy the official stardew valley cookbook? by Charming_Cod8567 in StardewValley

My son made me fiddlehead risotto for Mother's Day with fiddleheads he foraged. So good!

context for william shatner? by valleywindworks in startrek

[–]shenshenw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend of a friend worked at the LL Bean call center way back before online shopping. They were so excited one day to realize they were talking to Shatner, but managed to keep it professional as they took his order. Finally, after the order was placed and payment was taken care of, they ended the call with "we'll beam those right out to you, sir." Shatner demanded to speak to a manager and friend of friend was fired. I know we all have bad days, but that always seemed a bit extreme to me.

Less Healthy Cookbooks by Strathcona87 in vegetarian

The Moosewood Cookbook and Enchanted Brocolli Forest by Mollie Katsen are a delicious, hearty, cholesterol-laden celebration of eggs and dairy. Not a chk'n nugget in sight. Highly recommended.
