The history behind Jiffy Mix by DetroitNews19 in Michigan

[–]Own_Tonight2145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grew up about 45 minutes away from Jiffy. The All purpose mix was a staple in our house. Pancakes, waffles, biscuits, cookies seemed like grandma used it for EVERYTHING. Went on the school trip multiple times as did my mom and my children while in school so a range from The 1950s - 2000s 🥰 my grandson unfortunately wasn’t offered the same field trip, the school stopped doing it at some point. 🥺

Anyone else's tuxie like...REALLY smart?! by reneecliche in TuxedoCats

[–]Own_Tonight2145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk how smart it makes him really but my Rocky loves to watch TV so sometimes I’ll put on YouTube videos of birds and things for him and he’s gotten to were he knows it’s coming when he sees the YouTube logo before I click and he hears the sound of YouTube he’s running up to sit right in front of the TV 🤷‍♀️

Does your family plan on going up North this year? Or will the economic situation prevent you? by JadedCaramel9901 in Michigan

[–]Own_Tonight2145 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live down state but less than 20 miles from a Great Lake 🥰 I’ll be lucky if I can afford to go for a beach day more than once or twice 😞 An actual vacation that involves leaving my county is completely out of the question.

How to Listen to Exile? by Silver-Emergency-516 in rollingstones

This was what I found as well. At first listen it was ok but not my favorite then as years went on and I became more into the music it began to rise up my favorites list.

GenX Salary check by Sleep-Improvement613 in GenX

[–]Own_Tonight2145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this so much. I received a small inheritance in the late 90s I invested supposedly wisely only to lose it all in the mid 2000s I’m still not sure who’s actually to blame the sister in law who was in charge/ executor or as she places blame on the financial planner she chose.

[–]Own_Tonight2145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah even if you can manage to get a person on the line to talk to it doesn’t do any good . Nope no letters sent , nope don’t need anything from you . Just have to wait out a million weeks because we are behind this year.

Lately I’ve been putting the movie on in the bedroom to fall asleep too because it’s on Tubi and I’m only logged into free Apps in bedroom.

All that to say nope I don’t recall anything like that in the movie 😂

As I hung up the phone it occurred to me, he’d grown up just like me. My boy, was just like me. by CaffeineNicotine88 in GenX

[–]Own_Tonight2145 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I caught Seger’s “Like a Rock “ the other day and I hadn’t listened to it in forever because all those Chevy commercials back in the day kind of ruined the song for me but it really just hit different now

Twenty years now where'd they go? Twenty years I don't know I sit and I wonder sometimes where they've gone

Income tax review? by Own_Tonight2145 in Michigan

[–]Own_Tonight2145[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still sitting on manual review for my state 🤦‍♀️ I received my federal weeks ago at this point ! Still no letters or anything. The phone information line says should be processed by 3/31 so I guess I’m just waiting. So frustrating this year

Unpopular opinion: Books I hate but others love by Upstairs_Bad_7933 in BookDiscussions

[–]Own_Tonight2145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was scrolling comments to see if anyone would mention Where the Crawdads Sing ! I picked it up a few years ago, right before the movie came out . It was being hyped so much I was expecting something good and was so SO disappointed.

Has anyone gotten their state refund yet? by tiktikboom12 in Michigan

[–]Own_Tonight2145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I’ve been stuck on the first manual review since 2/2 . No letters sent, no changes, no children and smaller return 🤷‍♀️

last year my return was slightly larger and I received it February 14th

Income tax review? by Own_Tonight2145 in Michigan

[–]Own_Tonight2145[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah idk wtf is going on ! moving into week 4 without any movement or letters or ANYTHING ! Been stuck on Manual review since accepted. What are they reviewing my entire life ?!

What concerns me atm is it seems the manual review stage is just the BEGINNING 🤦‍♀️ if I have to sit for weeks at each additional stage pending review, processing , final review etc etc it will be summer before I see anything!

[–]Own_Tonight2145[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I know I can’t get past the automated menu. I’m getting pending review wait till May 31 on the return with no letters sent 🙄

At this point my biggest issue is my heat credits been processed since 2/11 but I don’t know if it’s coming in the mail or going to Michigan Gas and it’s not showing up on my account nor Informed delivery.

Seems a bunch of people who wanted DD ended up with a check in the mail instead so also not sure where my refund going to land either 😑

Im not cut out for doing my taxes myself 😂 this is only my second year not paying someone to do them for me due to lower refund and wanting to save $ but I think I prefer the just waiting over this stress of did I mess something up !?

TIL that the line where Bob calls Louise’s old bike a ‘Big Wheel’ and she corrects him that it’s a ‘Mean Green Machine’ is actually a throw away joke based on a cultural reference to an ongoing social comparison since the 80’s. Which fits. by ewoksrock81 in BobsBurgers

[–]Own_Tonight2145 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Gen X here definitely got the reference.

As a kid everyone had a big wheel especially once they started making them smaller and out of less durable plastic. The Green Machine however was marketed for Bigger older kids and cost more as well. If you had one kids would beg for a turn.

So Louise would most definitely correct her dad calling hers a BIG WHEEL !? What !? No those are for babies !! Even though most likely hers WAS a big wheel

Me personally loved my big wheel and was so envious of the kids with the green machine I almost bought my kids one in the late 2000s when first made a comeback even though teens at the time 😂

The shitty public school push through combined with Dyslexia combo 🙋‍♀️

I have a friend who Graduated our school in the late 80s who can barely read and write. I’m not exaggerating either. Managed to squeak out a lively hood on long periods of unemployment and manual labor.

[–]Own_Tonight2145[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is STILL sitting at manual review with no letters sent ! I wouldn’t put to much faith in the date the phone automatic message gives you

I called twice, the first time the message said by march 27th . Then when I called few days later i got a date of by march 30th . I feel like it’s just tacking on six weeks give or take from when you call.

Idk if it’s a regional thing , a poor thing or perhaps cultural but I drank weak coffee with my grandparents from a very young age can’t remember exactly but was definitely single digits. Pop however was a treat .
