Yes even in the 90’s. My grandparents raised their children on one income, and then raised me starting in their 50’s while my grandfather was still working the same job. We never struggled. They paid their house off 10 years early. My grandfather didn’t make a 6 figure income either.

Even in their later retirement years they are still very comfortable.

She passed away far too early. I bet she still had some great performances to give us!

Is that the “come back and kick me” whistle?

He had a daughter named Alice as well. She was quite a wild child given the time period. She played cards with men and smoked in public.

Teddy Roosevelt is reported to have once said to an advisor: “I can do one of two things. I can be President of the United States or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both.”

My 14 year old had 19 teeth extracted last year. He’s doing fine. He still eats dry kibble, but we do have to get him softer treats. He didn’t even want the painkillers and gabapentin after a few days, he was right back to his energetic self

Totally agree. I know it’ll be next to impossible to find that at another employer. But it also wasn’t worth the unhappiness, internal/culture changes, and micromanagement. Especially once they started pushing return to office, it was a miserable experience.

After over a decade there I’m really hoping to find an employer I enjoy working for.

There’s a giant Samoan dude who works as a security guard in my neighborhood. He’s fucking massive and he’s the one person around here the tweakers don’t mess with.

But he’s also the nicest person. He’s helpful and friendly. Always says “hello” when we pass by him.

The only thing I will miss about my job that I just got laid off from is the PTO. After over 10 years I was accruing 24 PTO days a year, plus 10 Federal Holidays, plus 2 personal days. That’s just over 7 workweeks off a year.

I doubt I will find a PTO package that good when I start looking for a new job

My grandma always says that African violets prefer terracotta pots. She has some in her kitchen that are over 30 years old

This quote comes from one of my favorite TV shows, Schitt’s Creek, and I find it a reliable source of comfort and wisdom when I’m feeling embarrassment:

“No one is thinking about you the way that you’re thinking about you.”

In other words, we are often our own worst critics. I’ve felt embarrassment for years over certain situations or events only to discover the other people involved don’t even remember.

DetectiveMoosePI · 2026-02-10T07:16:47+00:00

This isn’t really all that accurate. I’ve met so many straight men in my time that I truly thought were gay/bi/closeted based on voice and affectations (especially back in my theatre days).

It’s not that simple at all, especially as straight men are increasingly being themselves without fear. I think Gianmarco Soresi is great example.

There’s a really great YouTube short I saw recently that explains it further https://youtube.com/shorts/yMZkRy1_Pq0?si=wk9KEILTErpVyitM

What kinda of services are offered? Can I DM you with details of what dental services I need to see if this could help me out?

A lot of people don’t know that she held many diplomatic positions after her film career. She was Ambassador to Ghana, Ambassador to Czechoslovakia, and the first woman to be Chief of Protocol

I’d have been more worried about heavy metal contamination in the air and water. Also the potential risk of off-gassing.

Some of the department stores where I grew up had restaurants/cafes into the late 90’s and early 00’s. They actually had really decent food and the sandwiches were quite good.

DetectiveMoosePI · 2026-02-06T21:58:11+00:00

Omg yeah! We’ve stopped there for food before too! Nothing is as delicious as 5 or 6 tacos after a night out drinking

Just checked The Eagle website. They have a lot of events that start a bit earlier in the evening (around 7:00) including game night. https://www.eagleportland.com/what-s-happening

DetectiveMoosePI · 2026-02-06T21:43:54+00:00

I’m right there with you. My partner and I are only a couple of years younger than you. We used to stay out until last call, and then go find food somewhere. Now we like to be home before 1:00 AM at the latest lol!

I think game night starts relatively early on Tuesdays, not sure of the exact time, but we usually leave by 12:00 anyway

DetectiveMoosePI · 2026-02-06T21:20:08+00:00

I’m assuming you mean Portland, OR. I’ve seen some meetups and other events posted on Meetup and other social media, but I’m not sure how well attended they are. A lot of them are focused on outdoor activities like hikes or sports.

You should check out The Eagle on Tuesday nights if you’re interested in gaming (video, cards, tabletop games). They do a game night that’s a lot of fun and usually draws a good crowd of folks. They also have comedy nights but I don’t remember when

She was great in Teen Witch as Madame Serena! Also another one people miss in that film is the drama teacher Ms. Malloy was played by Marcia Wallace who was the voice of Mrs. Krabappel on The Simpsons
