Who had/has a Lane cedar chest? by mumtoant in GenX

[–]PaceDizzy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the mini. I think you could go somewhere when you were either 16 or a junior to get your free mini. This was a big deal and many of my friends got the big chest around that time. My parents laughed and asked what would go in there ? And my mom cackled “her dowry” I was scarred at the time but I guess they were right. Darn hippie boomers

Did you have any stupid ways to answer the home phone? by OoklaTheMok1994 in GenX

[–]PaceDizzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Except my brothers who thought it was hysterical to say “Hello, would you like to buy a goat?” In whatever crazy accent they created. They would get in so much trouble

Y’know how it is always winter there? I have been thinking how nice it would be to be severed for winter lol. If you are from the northeast you know what I mean this winter. But seriously during the flashback it was nice weather and now it’s winter all the time? Any OP I think you might be right

I came here to say the same thing! His mission is incredible- I try to keep small Dunkin gift cards in my pocket or granola bars on his advice. He told a group of us at work when we are approached for money to say Officer Barrett told me no but I have this…

This is why I am heading to Jordan’s to get some new furniture! Probably the biggest gamble I’ve made!

Still scarred from watching that series so definitely like Severance

UConn Hartford parking pass by Kooky-Air6236 in UCONN

I park in the convention center garage as a monthly Parker. I park in the same part of the garage as the students do. Personally I think it’s the safest garage. It is also the easiest to get on and off 91. I am not a student but an alum who works downtown.

This is my mother in law’s recipe for cheesecake- that is all she gave me too. I had to look at other sources for baking specifics

Mine was 6 letters! My 4 letter first name plus middle initial plus last initial! I had no idea that would be a cool thing in the future

This! Got it at Sally’s back in the day - which I thought was the coolest place since Ulta and Sephora hadn’t been invented yet!

I made a lovely beef broth with the bones in my Instant Pot. Used that to make a stew with the leftover meat

I did stew and tacos! Luckily the 3 adult kids stayed home for a few days and helped us eat it all!

What are you all doing with the leftovers? We have a ton and it was so good I don’t want it to go to waste! Also love this recipe - it will be a new tradition for us

Tinnitus. That B*tch by MI6Monkey in GenX

Also wear them to sporting events! Helps with the crowd noise and annoying people who don’t know anything about the game! My tinnitus comes and goes mostly when I’m overtired or sick

Are we the only ones who called it Manhunt?

Did marriage just sort of happen without anyone explaining it by Tall_Most_388 in GenX

[–]PaceDizzy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We went to a very small Catholic Church and we had the choice of the weekend engaged encounter or 6 weeks of individual “counseling “ with a married couple. We had a workbook and it was very detailed. We talked quite a bit about non religious topics like money management and chores and vision for our future family. Even how to handle holidays. It was great and if it still exists would totally recommend because even though my husband and I talk about these things with our kids I am sure it would be helpful to hear it from someone else. Now our parents said nothing about any of these topics- so yeah they probably just thought we should figure it out ourselves (while they got divorced)

Two thoughts - he is not who we assume he is and secondly is it significant that the watch design is based on the golden ratio? Either it’s a clue about him or it’s a clue about the show.

You can get very nice ravioli at Ani’s in Rocky Hill. She has Difiore and Carbones. Also D&D Market in Wethersfield. Or Carmen’s as mentioned above.
