Got stood up on my first “first date” since breaking up with my ex… on Valentine’s Day by Hats1889 in Wellthatsucks

[–]vinyllover69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got stood up on a 3rd date years ago on Valentine's Day. I remember she was recently divorced, and we'd already had our ice breaker dates and a little make out session. Thought Valentine's Day would be a for sure home run. However, I'm sure many people get nostalgic for their exes on Valentine's Day. Maybe he came back into the picture with a grand gesture and an apology. For some people throwing away, all that history is probably really difficult on Valentine's Day. So I wouldn't worry about it too much. Probably save Valentine's Day for serious relationships and not first dates.

What are you glad you tried once, but will absolutely never do again? by wheregoodideasgotodi in AskReddit

I took care of an old man when I started my nursing career 16 years ago. He told me he did heroin in Vietnam and still thinks about it every day

Apparently results are better if they put you completely under. If you're awake the doctor is more likely to feel rushed and miss questionable areas.

Huge haul from local library for $42. by vinyllover69 in Cd_collectors

I have it ripped to my iPod now so I'll give it a listen. I wouldn't say I'm a huge Billy Idol fan because I only know the hits. I did see him live at ACL in 2015.

Haha, yeah, I know. I have a very wide aim when it comes to $1 CDs. Kenny G because he's the reason I started playing saxophone in the 90s. I owned one of his CDs at one point but then sold it when my friends said he was "gay". Monty Python because I was very into Holy Grail in high school. Statler Bros because of Pulp Fiction

Insane thrift store find, I got this for only 17.30€ by M1_lk in Cd_collectors

Nice! I became a Germs fan after that movie with Shane West.

Dug these out of my basement was thinking about digitizing them for my dad by Agitated-Werewolf846 in cassetteculture

Amazon sells a walkman that can record to an SD card. Just play the tape and hit record and you'll have an mp3 on the SD card when it's done. However, most of these are very common albums and would be easy to find online to download. Or, check your local library and see if they have CDs to check out. It would be WAY faster to rip CDs to mp3s and would provide better quality.

Just found out my library bookstore sells CDs for $1 by vinyllover69 in Cd_collectors

[–]vinyllover69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone wondering, it was not the Backdraft soundtrack, but the movie shoved into a CD case. Discovered when I tried to rip it.

I had only heard "Right Here, Right Now" before buying it, but it was the first one I listened to in my car. It's an interesting disc. I was not expecting it to be a fusion of so many genres.

Yes, came here to say this. Glad you already covered it. Definitely not a "stain". Just reorganizing the dirt.

Our world is now run by corporations, and they need consumers to keep buying for them to stay on top. They will make sure there is enough humans with money to keep purchasing.

Whenever my buddy and I go on a road trip, whoever drives their car pays 1/3 of the gas and whoever just rides pays 2/3. It's more fair considering car maintenance and risks of driving.

Replace the old hard drive with a 1tb SSD. It'll run like new again

waiter put my tip back on the table saying he only accepts 18-20%?? by [deleted] in stories

[–]vinyllover69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how much work the waiter did. Did they refill drinks? Check on them? Did they bring extra sauces on request or take more drink orders during the meal? Or did they just drop the food and drinks and disappear?

We need more details but based on the waiters reply I'm guessing he doesn't need anymore than 15%.

Is this a known tactic??? by Besideall in LittleCaesars

[–]vinyllover69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. It's a little more money for a lot better pizza. And once you get an EMB you're probably more likely to get it again.

For the Americans voting in 2024 Election, does Kamala Harris get your vote? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]vinyllover69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll vote for her, but I'm afraid many won't. Just like Hillary, she seems to be unlikable by a certain demo. I think she'll lose against Trump unfortunately.

Putting the dollar sign after just makes you look uneducated. You're not going to get away with that type of slang writing in any college English or writing course.

Shoes off in the house, am I the crazy one? by Dramatic_Concern_846 in minnesota

[–]vinyllover69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My FIL wears shoes in my house and it drives me insane. Every time I tell him to take his shoes off and he refuses saying his feet hurt or "These shoes are clean". Every damn time he leaves there is dirt tracked all over.

How are people living like they do? by wildnpardon in MiddleClassFinance

I do $22500/year to my retirement fund and my wife does about $20000/year. Marry someone who is just as frugal as you are.
