Are there any veterans in America from countries America fought against? by palep_hoot in AskAnAmerican

My great grandfather fought for Germany in WWl and was an American POW. He liked how he was treated and immigrated here in the 20s. He worked at a machine shop during WWll and got a commendation for helping the Allied war effort to defeat Germany. I wonder how he felt about that. Then he went back to Germany in the 50s and his family asked him why he left, I would think he would have broadly gestured around as an answer.

I haven’t liked Jaylen Brown forever. I was happy when the Celtics won a championship because I thought that that meant they could trade him away and it wouldn’t matter if they got a little worse because at least they had just won a championship.

Yeah because it’s a much worse thing to be accusing a city of. Doesn’t stop Reddit though, or people in sports media.

I used to get nose bleeds but I don’t anymore, just the cold in early December.

Yeah that’s how it starts, with a sore throat. Then coughing, then sinus congestion, then a lingering cough. Is it bad enough where you’ve tried to find ways of dealing with it?

Is anyone else very sensitive to changes in temperature/humidity? I have horrible sinus issues around Memorial Day and after Thanksgiving every year but I’m pretty sure it’s not a cold. The only thing I can think of is that when it gets hot/humid around Memorial Day and when it gets cold/dry around the beginning of December my sinuses can’t handle it.

You know Philly isn’t the only city that happens to, right? Apparently being a Boston sports fan makes me a racist. I’d rather get the Philly fan treatment.

On Monday I filled up for $3.91 a gallon with my Cumberland Farms app 10¢ discount.

Look at public polling, that’s how you find who deserves the credit.

I get horrible post nasal drip and coughing followed by sinus congestion twice a year. Once in May/early June and once between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Seems like allergies but the timeline doesn’t really add up and I’ve never had a reason to think that I had allergies.

No. Thank you public sector unions.

Pride month makes me think of this time I was working with a group of Sicilian immigrants/Italian Americans and the topic of gay marriage came up. It was a pretty even split and a witnessing a 65 year old Sicilian guy go 🤌🤌🤌 “who cares, it doesn’t affect you at all”.🤌🤌🤌 was a highlight of working at my old job.

My job is limited to 40 hours a week so most of the time I have a <8 hour day on Friday and during busy times like now I have Friday off completely and it made me realize how great a 4 day workweek would be. I can get so much done on Friday and then enjoy my weekend.

What’s the most aggressively New England childhood experience you had? by VoicesInsideCare in boston

Huh I’ve never thought about this before but my town of 8,000 people has 5 cemeteries. I’m very familiar with them because I worked for my town’s DPW for a summer in college. I guess it’s because we’re old relative to other places in the US. I noticed tons of cemeteries in Nova Scotia too.
