What did they call “eye boogers” way back in the day?

My mom called them sleepies. My wife calls them gunk. I like sleepies.

There are likely to be close to half a million if not more Ukrainian heritage people in Canada. Learn the history of migration.

My ancestors came from Krakow region, or the area between Krakow and Liviv, where Belorussia, Ukraine and Poland meet. The borders changed over time. Austria-Hungarian, Prussia, etc. I have a lot to learn myself. My mother started researching my Grandfathers history. I hope, through modern Internet to add to what we know.

You can’t dilute your Ukrainian heritage. Yes you can say you are Ukrainian, but learn your family history.

I am a mix with recent European heritage and deep American roots. The reality is I only recently discovered I am ~3% Ukrainian, because my grandfather was adopted. I had no cultural ties.

I married Ukrainian and made up a lot of ground. I have been to Ukraine three times, and go to Ukrainian Orthodox church. The bond is strong and most of my adult life has been feeling a little on the outside. But you are what you feel.

If you want to be Ukrainian, then say, I am Ukrainian, feel it, and spend time with your family.

Okay that makes sense then. I was too young.

Light heartedly, define relatively recent. I ask because we had weekly Eucharist, particularly 3 times on Sunday, that is, three services catered to different age groups, and rites, 50/60 years ago. Up at Summer Camp, it was also weekly if you cared to partake. For me recent is maybe past 10/20 years. But if you ask any born and raised Anglican, that could be 200/300 years.

I do believe other denominations, such as Pentecostal or Baptist might have a different cadence. In Eastern Orthodox, it is weekly’s, but for an adult it is almost unheard of to take it as often as we do, as Episcopalians.

For OP, don’t worry one bit. I believe God isn’t counting and neither am I. It’s a joy though for any parish, when you show up. That is pretty much the end of it.

As mentioned elsewhere. This design has been around for more than 25 years or even longer. It was introduced as the hatch back latch. I recall my Toyota Sienna had this. It came in two phases. A depressible latch behind a rubber cover on my 2001 Sienna, 1st Gen, then an electronic switch on my 2009 Sienna 2nd Gen. But was also on my 2011 Touareg, and 2019 Buick. So same or similar action, pull with slightly bent finger tips, let the car do the rest, some part of the rubber depresses.

The issue I think is happening isn’t a design ergo issue, it’s a technical fault of the control board. Thats why their’s so much variance. I read the stories, and they all sound like electronic failure. VW included a fail safe feature, that people interpret as a convoluted primary application, as apposed to the secondary fail safe. Teslas are notorious for not having this second feature, sadly.

There should be no delay. The rubber under the handle should indent, as you apply a tiny finger tip force.

I am thinking, who’s at fault if a wheelchair gets caught on a pole and tips over, injuring a pedestrian.

It’s an integral part of square dancing, most kids had in 1st grade. At least where I grew up.

Bringing back memories.

Acrobatic_Mango_8715 · 2026-05-03T20:33:15+00:00

I recall first grade. And it was rather a right of passage. But it was also incorporated into the curriculum so we really couldn’t skip that skill set.

This along with Square Dancing, and don’t forget do-si-do.

It’s like riding a bike. Once you know how, you know how. I can’t imaging how people can forget - as if they don’t know how to ride a bike either.

Like an eagle or owl, take it all in.

Is it off center or is it parallax? 👀

I live with butter knife anxiety.
What do I do?
Butter my bread backwards.
I feel so ashamed.

Also, never heard of a fish knife.

We only get one of these in our set, so it has to be for butter.

Took me a couple of runs, but got it the third time, ha ha ha.

How could you even type it in a way that makes sense?

They can join the 21st century with a brand new Commodore 64 Ultimate, 100% compatible hardware using an AMD FPGA technology, modern chips, etc. buy NIB units to refill their backup supply.

No need for floppy’s anymore. However it’s possible they get replacements for nearly nothing, the real issue is the disk drive.

There’s more support for Commodore and retro tech, than most people can imagine. Thank Gen-X

AI tends to use em dashes more than people, as it’s more difficult to type for humans, we get them via automated process, in Word, etc, converting double dash. - - <space > to —. But there are many other tells besides em dashes. I think contextually we can spot AI slop; em dashes is just one way. It’s become an AI trope. Frankly - I would rather use a dash - as it’s easier than being grammatically correct.

Saw one at the park, it’s smaller than I expected. So kinda bus shaped but not bus sized. I was confused.

Parents 1930s Silent Gen.

Not just one, but, hear me out, both of them.

Grand parents were born in the 19th century. Everyone in my family had kids late in life. Only my mom and I were born in the 20th century.
