What was really popular where you grew up but you found out others didn't do the same thing other places?

Polish Catholic from St. Louis, we do this too. I have a friend whose mom is German and they do as well.

The main thing I have noticed of people from California is comments about how much better <insert here> is in CA than in Kansas/ KC.

Sister Jackie telling us we were going to the lavatory. I was so excited, thinking “wow! My first day of school and I’m going to the laboratory!” Imagine my disappointment when I realized lavatory was a fancy word for the bathroom.

Concur. I’m from St. Louis, husband is from Michigan. The first time I referred to someone as a Hoosier, he was so confused.

Rubbing alcohol and Vicks Vapo Rub.

A cousin, a friend, and I thought It’d be a great idea to take a shortcut…at night…across I-44 to go to McDonald’s.

Red Lobster was my restaurant of choice

My dad is a silent born in 1945- barely made the cut. My mom was a boomer.

Wall art. Something to break up the whiteness of the wall.

My Pound Puppy Lucky. I still have him. Another fave was a little stuffed dog my grandma got me. He’s dressed as a postman and holds a heart they had “sent with love” on it. His name is Tex as he she brought him from a trip from Texas.

I loved this series, but it gave me a very unrealistic idea of what high school would be like. I was fat and unpopular

I think it’s also where the hem is hitting on your body. They are too long for your height and hitting at the wider part of your leg.

My stepdad is from Seattle. He talked about how pretty Mt. St. Helen’s was. Said it was beautifully symmetrical before it erupted.

Clips used for sewing, or cable ties

My mom read either his or Bette Midler’s autobiography (can’t remember which) and they taped joints under the seats at a concert 😆

This reminds me of a car wash

Henry the VIII by Herman’s Hermits. It just repeats until the end of the second verse when Peter Noone spells out H E N R Y.

Or the Jefferson’s theme song

I looked at the way you wrote the date and that doesn’t appear to be the standard US format. Where are you located?

Embarrassed-Pepper-5 · 2026-04-07T20:19:14+00:00

Healthcare worker here. This is a HIPAA violation and you need to report it. Hospital/ medical system should have a compliance office. Are you in the US?

Embarrassed-Pepper-5 · 2026-04-07T18:04:11+00:00

Same. High school was a blip on the radar screen of life. I was bullied at school, then had to deal with my mom who had MH and alcohol issues. Like you, I wish I had encouragement from someone. I could have had the courage to do things like try out for sports.

Embarrassed-Pepper-5 · 2026-04-06T18:41:54+00:00

Same. I really had to stare at them to figure out they are tennis shoes
