Paying January rent early since I’ll be going to Nashville to see widespread panic on new years and then immediately going to Florida to see the grandparents for a late Christmas and won’t be back until the 9th. This last weekend was something that I was very panicked about, but now that it’s over I am very glad and relieved.

Now to relish in the fact that I bought my 4 year nephew a “no” soundboard button that has like 10 different “no”s on it and my brother and his lil family will have to drive all the way back to Iowa with it. A gift that shall keep on giving >:)

Savoring my day off. Doing normal 'sunday' stuff in our house -- groceries and generally getting caught up for the week. Avoiding the protestant urge to fill my whole day with work. And enjoying as much cross stitching as my repetitive-injured wrist will tolerate.

Reply to Christmas surprise- a burst pipe by Dense_Paper

My water just came back in after being frozen since the 9 degree day. Doesn’t appear to have caused any issues with the pipes inside the house so I guess the main froze underground? Hopefully y’all have a similar result!

Oil of cloves can help with a toothache. Just swab some on the gum with a q tip. (Make sure you’re not allergic to cloves first.). My grandfather was a dentist in the time before lidocaine and this is what he recommended.

I quit going to movie theaters over 20 years ago for several of the same reasons you've indicated. Poor audio -- often uncomfortably loud, uncomfortable seats, high ticket prices, unruly guests, and outlandish food costs. The last time I was in a Regal cinema, was at the old Ridge Cinema in late summer of 2000. Tickets were $7.25. No way in hell I'm paying $22 for a movie ticket. I'll watch it at home, for free, where I can control the environment.

Back in the office, and not excited about it. My 2-day holiday vacation was literally just a very busy weekend. I hope everyone who has this week off enjoys themselves and their downtime or time with their families.

I was the first person to clock into work this morning. Apparently we’re closed today, but hey. I’m awake and showered!

It sounds like you might need help understanding a few things:

  1. Multiplexes play multiple movies in the same theater. So if you don't wanna see a big dumb CGI action movie, you can buy a ticket to see something else.

  2. The advertised time for a movie at these theaters is the start of the theatrical trailers. So if you don't wanna see commercials before the trailers start then show up exactly at this time. If you don't wanna see the trailers show up 10 minutes after the advertised time.

  3. No one is forcing you to do this, unless you're not an adult. Are you an adult?

  4. Nothing about this post is specific to this subreddit or the city.
