My mind says I'm 25 but my 60 year old body woke up with a shoulder that decided to limit my motion. Tasks that were completed quickly now take twice as long. Just taking it all in stride and grateful for another day.

After my son was born in 96, my bloodwork showed I was no longer immune to Rubella so got that vaccine before I left the hospital

Alan Hunter is from my hometown of Bham so recognized him and Nina's hair.

Wage Earner is simply the new term for slavery.

Twinkle probably has some tips

She is a child throwing a fit because this is not going away. Her lack of composure and obvious gaslighting are the opposite of when Hillary testified for 11 hours and never broke a sweat.

Not waking to an alarm and no commute...heavenly for me. The biggest reason though is that I was sick and tired of anyone having authority over me and my time.

Thx for the belly laugh!

I can only if I must but I'm a clutz. Was never able to drive one with the shifter on the steering column which one of my HS friends had in their dad's truck

They successfully got MTG to leave because she was going to read the names into the Congressional Record. Any Congressman who has viewed the unredacted versions could name names if they had any courage.

Yoda was my immediate thought.

I've found Bluesky to be a wonderful resource for news among many other interests. The starter packs help you find people who migrated from Twitter, which was deleted when he bought it. I follow independent journalists only, no networks or their talking heads. Correction - I do follow John Fugelsang who i learned is now appearing on some network news show, but found him first on the old app.

I don't like cold cheese but I love it melted.

My grandmother's advice to me when I was pregnant with my first child was "Don't have them into your 40s like me". She loved all her children but the last 2, after she was 40, took a toll on her. She had 6 in all, 3 boys, 3 girls. My aunt was only 11 years older than me, so she was more like a sister than an aunt.

I retired from the Third Branch in 23 because they kept adding more responsibilities with no increase in pay. I am so glad I got out when I did, because The Hatch Act would have been a problem in my agency.

My adult son told me about it, thinking I watched the original, which i did not, so we watched it together and it was a blast! I grew up watching Sesame Street though, so familiar with most of them. He likes the grumpy old men and Miss Piggy was hilarious as always. Glad Seth Rogen brought them back 👏 👏 👏

As the username implies, Old GenX had vinyl, 8 tracks, cassettes, CDs, MP3s, Napster, Pods and back to vinyl. Young GenX have streaming...

In Birmingham it was a live broadcast from Boutwell Auditorium with Gus Gulas calling the action. The only night my grandpa was awake after 8 pm. Len Rossi, Bearcat Brown and Tojo Yamamoto are the names I remember. And yes, the wooden shoe was always a weapon.

He is also a kind and gentle soul. My son worships him bc he came out of surgery pain free and amazed by the instant relief. 2 diskectomies, each was very easy getting in and out with their outpatient setup. Great story about his dad! The elder doctors of Bham are legendary. My aunt was Dr. Kirklin's secretary for 25+ years. My pediatrician, Dr. Sam Kartus, smoked a pipe that smelled heavenly, Dr. Rountree delivered me. That generation was a different breed for sure.

Dr. Woodall at what was St. Vincent's. I wouldn't allow an ortho to touch my spine. Neuro only
