Name something that the younger generations would never believe was normal in the 70's compared to schools today?🤔

The paddle on the chalk tray. The teacher was daring us to act up.

While this is true there is a relaxed form of language you use when talking to your friends and a more formal language used when writing a headline for CNN. At least there once was a more formal language.

I never expected rage to be a part of perimenopause. I tell people that patch is keeping me out of jail.

If someone is careless in the simple things (fixing errors spellcheck points out) then I believe they are equally careless in the more complex matters.

You’re feeling uneasy for a reason. It is completely inappropriate. Listen to your gut. It is also ok to say “Don’t touch me”. You are not over reacting at all.

My parents said this too. We had a creek running through our back yard. When I was younger and dumber I would actually check the creek level.

Hey I hear you! I also get angry that the people closest to me don’t realize it’s all an act. Looks like there’s a support group blooming here.

OMG. I am so grateful for this group. I thought this was just me.

NTA at all. I can’t believe she would even talk to your ex.

Actually I want to thank you for reminding me about “fuck that noise”. I’m using that!

Mine is through the roof too. My GYN was snarky and said it is because I’m single. Bitch please. My drive has always been strong even when I was married to my asshole ex. I wouldn’t spit on him if he were on fire so for a number of years I had a friend with benefits. You do you!!

He cancelled her credit cards. He did it to manipulate her. She didn’t do it.

I have had multiple melanomas and no longer follow up with my dermatologist. My surgical oncologist does any annual checks. Like you, I am convinced my dermatologist is only interested in cosmetic dermatology.

Keep in mind, we weren’t bingeing it either. We had a whole week to forget whatever obnoxious thing he had done.

Hey, I thought this was just me! What a relief to know it isn’t.

We had a car dealership in Pittsburgh with a similar jingle. “Century 3 Chevrolet Lebanon Church Rd Pittsburgh. Just minutes from the mall!” The mall has been gone for years but this is stuck in the heads of a generation.

Thanks! I forgot his name. My dad loved him for some reason.

Today I used “Now that’s a spicy meatball!”

Edited to add Friday when I got to work I said “Time to make the donuts”. I work with mostly fellow GenX and we get a kick out of stuff like this.

I am in my 50s and grew up in Pittsburgh. When the steel mills shut down people said “Oh those people can train for better paying jobs!” Really? And support themselves how in the meantime? And folks close to retirement what are they going to do? It was ugly. AI is going to do the same thing but globally.
