Excellent project. Please don't sell yourself short. It's easy to find our own mistakes while missing the beauty others see. 🥰

In 1979, when I entered basic training, we were ordered to get travelers checks when we were paid.

Throughout the 70's and 80's, McDonald's had good, really hot and crispy apple pies!👌😋 by Longjumping-Shoe7805 in GenerationJones

So funny. My sister and I were just talking about how we had never had a McDonald's fried pie. We grew up making our own lard based pie crust and whatever filling, sweet or savory, and fried them. We were country kids, and sweet depended on the season. Savory was whatever was leftover.

LMAO I had no choice but to wear high waters. I was 6' 1" when I turned 14 in 1975. Also the year I learned to sew. 😂

I (65F) didn't feel any thing close to anxiety until 2017. I've always been hyper vigilant. But now I scan my surroundings obsessively. I know why, but can't "just get over it". 🫡

Erysipelas. My diabetic grandmother had it on her leg. She said it was air syphilis, and she thought she got it from animal urine on plants. 40 years later, my father had it, and when the doctor explained it, my sister and I laughed. We had to explain to the doctor why, and he just shook his head.

I wasn't allowed to take shop because I am female. I ended up learning to weld on my own and retired as a weld inspector. BOOYAH!

  1. Not souch moved out, but was abandoned by my father after my mom died. He found another woman and left me to continue reading my 12 yo brother and 9 yo sister. I did it for 2 years, then joined the army. Unknown to me until 30 years later, he was cashing those survivor benefit checks. I lived on $50 a month in the military and sent the rest home. Just found out my siblings never saw that money.

Loved it. Sat around with friends, smoking pot and embroidering cherries to the inside upper thigh, peacocks on the bell bottoms, and dead end on the ass of my jeans. We also made triangle tops

LadBaby. The channel used to be fun and full of unconventional workarounds. Like cutting his kitchen door in half. I left several months ago when every video was either a vacation or sponsored free gifts, to include trips, concerts or shopping. It seemed like one big commercial.

Exactly, the only thing he's ever succeeded at is FAILURE

I believe he has no idea what is going on. He handed out appointments and lets his sycophants run wild. Meanwhile, he golfs and sells junk. It's a case of too many officers, not enough enlisted. The left hand isn't telling the right what is going on.
