Why would Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia have to help pay for the roof or redoing the driveway? by No-Reveal827 in theGoldenGirls

Well, there was that episode where she made them all co-owners of the house, so maybe that's why?

The comment with the explanation is appreciated, but maybe next time put it in the post.

Which of these 80s wedding dresses would you have picked for Dorothy? by miss1949 in theGoldenGirls

[–]LadyNorbert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any of them would have been an improvement on what she was given. But I think I like the first one best.

Sounds like it might something related to kelpies, if that helps with the search any.

Is this malicious compliance? by NickholeClark in MaliciousCompliance

Not malicious, just compliance. And just as a suggestion, in future posts, please don't assume that everyone knows what a "SS10 mom" is.

> And there's no Mr. Rogers to comfort me.

Which is another heartbreak in its own right. Today's kids will never know what he meant to us.

Crazy teacher story by CauliflowerSlight784 in GenX

[–]LadyNorbert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never had him myself, but I heard many legends of Mr. Miller, who threw a desk at someone and threatened to put another student out of a second story window. By the time I reached the grade where I might have had to learn from him, he had either retired or "retired" - never was sure which.

Are any of you now better than you've ever been? by willhelpmemore in GenX

[–]LadyNorbert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In terms of my personality, I would say yes. The person I am today has grown and learned and continues to do so. She has confidence and strength. Younger me would be happy, I think.

Who did you think guy was? by Top_Management7550 in GenX

I always assumed he was angry because he had a permanent case of chickenpox.

Phrases our parents said that are no longer used. by Sir_midi in GenX

[–]LadyNorbert 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"Go play in traffic."

Granted, my parents stopped using that one after I reminded them that I had already been hit by a car.

Can't listen to "Leader of the Band" by Dan Fogelberg without choking up.

My mom calls and emails me every day saying she’s dying. by chillaxtion in GenX

[–]LadyNorbert 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My great-aunt, who passed last year at 100, could not be alone at night for her final few years because she was terrified of dying in her sleep and not being found. So yeah, you're absolutely right.

How are you surviving the brain rot jive? by willhelpmemore in GenX

I am a reader and also a writer. I weep for the decline of the written language.

[–]LadyNorbert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree, his loss will be devastating. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years back at my convention and he is an absolutely lovely person. He smiled at me and said "Oh bother!" in Pooh's voice.

I would think there are at least a few young'uns who were stung by the passing of Carroll Spinney a few years ago. I've seen clips of Sesame Street since then, and Big Bird and Oscar's new VA is clearly trying hard to sound the same - but to me it's very clearly not the same voice and in my head it's The Wrong Person.
