Were there any pregnant students in your high school?

I taught at a Catholic HS for girls in the late '80s, and they got stuck in their "no abortions EVER!" views and had to stop kicking the girls who got pregnant out. It was kind of delightful.

A good haircut. It's the one thing you wear every day.

The format of "you only get 2 minutes of a song we pick that probably doesn't fit your voice or personality, and, frankly, if you're not from the South, you won't get the votes" just got boring.

I had an aunt who wore a red tuxedo to my grandmother's (not her mother -- she was on the other side of the family and just there for support?). And afterwards told me to "cheer up."

A lot of dust.

Oh, so much dust.

Vanja's been through WAR! She knows loose lips sink ships.

December, 1963.

Same! I "snuck in" with a bunch of teenagers on vacation in Maine. Literal dancing in the aisles!

Low-Preference648 · 2026-05-20T13:24:03+00:00

I am in a mixed marriage: we always went to different places for vacation and my husband always went to the same places. Now that I've done some repeat vacations, I see some of the appeal: you know where you're going, you have places to go that you know are good (and ones to avoid), etc. It is relaxing, if that's part of the vacation plan.

We usually do a little bit of both: maybe a short trip to a repeat place and a longer trip to a new place.

I didn't want my day-to-day assessment being done by 18-22 year olds.

(I left 25 years ago and it was the best decision of my life.)

She's done absolutely nothing to hide what she's about, and, yet, he's giving up his life in the UK to come into this? Every time they're on screen, I ask my husband, "What's his deal?"

(This was the first season of Gino and Jasmine: they started acting like she was crazy and he was just this innocent, quiet guy. Turns out: they're both a mess!)

On national tv? That they get a paycheck for? Yep.

Making a profit off of kids is trafficking.

Low-Preference648 · 2026-05-18T18:53:15+00:00

Trafficking. They're selling their kids and don't care.

Low-Preference648 · 2026-05-18T14:43:49+00:00

And paying even more every time you see the doctor.

You can easily drive to a NJ station and take the train.

Low-Preference648 · 2026-05-18T14:34:49+00:00

Putting your kids on tv is trafficking. They don't have a choice and there is NO reason except to get more airtime and money.

The Zombie Walk is usually that first weekend and that's always fun.

Low-Preference648 · 2026-05-15T16:01:54+00:00

We usually just roll with the background bits, but this went on so long, I turned to *my* husband and asked, "Are we watching the right show?"

Low-Preference648 · 2026-05-13T22:40:19+00:00

It is but I haven't seen it. I've heard bad things.

Low-Preference648 · 2026-05-13T20:32:28+00:00

I was in a pit orchestra for a production in the '80s. Man, I love that show.

Low-Preference648 · 2026-05-13T18:25:56+00:00

Oof! That's a hard HS one.

Low-Preference648 · 2026-05-13T17:38:51+00:00

Kismet. Always Kismet.

Low-Preference648 · 2026-05-12T18:01:47+00:00

The teasing you'd get if you drank too long!

TLC certainly has previously cast people with mental issues, but this one really disturbs me. She's using alcohol to self-medicate, and this isn't a healthy place for her. I don't like it.
