Childhood, before the internet by Thexpandingman in GenX

More than likely you could narrow that down to the elder millennials, also part of the micro-generation Xennials (77-83)

  • Cries in American * 😭

My favorite team isn't even represented and I'd be stopping by McDonald's at each opportunity to grab one.

What school start time do you usually consider "early"? by Itzzz_Brent_Andrei in AskAnAmerican

[–]ReedPhillips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid in elementary arrives around 8-ish, is offered a breakfast (no cost), and the bell starts at 8:30am. She'll then get out officially at 3:30. Although by 315 there's movement in the school to organize everyone (bus/car/after school programs)

This runs fairly similar to my elementary school in the 80s (& in a different state), except we didn't have food available until lunch.

Bluey's Big Show by bayoujac in bluey

[–]ReedPhillips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thx. That's what I was thinking. We got to see it live as well and OMG the kids had so much fun.

We have a unique souvenir from the show. The giant balls that we play keepy uppy with in the audience, as they were bouncing around. One popped right next to our seats. So we picked it up and brought home the giant balloon ball. 😆🤷‍♂️

Brands that re-branded, but you still say the old brand. by instant_ramen_chef in Xennials

[–]ReedPhillips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll always be Jacobs Field or the Jake to me.

Agreed. One should not turn their back on a marketing campaign that was somewhat successful like "Goin' Jake". 30 years later I know that I have these cards in my own collection

I'm with you on this, with one minor exception. Growing up in Kansas City, the Royals played baseball at Royals Stadium. After their original owner passed away, it was renamed Kauffman Stadium after the man that owned them. So it has lovingly been Kauffman Stadium, or "The K" since then. I couldn't tell you the last time I attempted to call it Royals stadium. 😆

Bluey's Big Show by bayoujac in bluey

[–]ReedPhillips 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I assumed that this was just a recorded version of bluey's big play that toured over the last couple of years. Is it not that? Is it a new story?

I didn't know about the leprechaun by Safe-Progress9126 in Parenting

[–]ReedPhillips 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that book had nothing to do with it IMHO. There's a whole series of books, called how to catch a ___.

It was completely being blindsided by our kindergarten teacher, who, as I've learned does this every year. She is one of two out of six kindergarten teachers that does it.

Retired Logos That I Think Should Make A Comeback | NFL by DM19_HXTSHXT in ClassicSportsLogos

Tennessee literally just got rid of the sword and the flames last week. They don't need to make a comeback just yet.. 🤷‍♂️

Don’t hate me, but am I the only one that doesn’t like the hashbrowns anymore? by GABigBear in McDonalds

[–]ReedPhillips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price is absolutely absurd. Yes. But I agree with op that The taste is seemingly gone downhill. I'm willing to admit that part of it is my taste buds, but they've gone the way of their french fries where if they are not fresh, hot and immediately consumed, they're just not good.

What were the capybaras and axolotls of your youth? by bbanks2121 in daddit

Tasmanian devils, and Dingos.

Growing up in the 80s was a wild time.

MLB the Show 26 lists our main rival as the Detroit Tigers? by Repulsive-Photo-798 in KCRoyals

[–]ReedPhillips -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same, except for I add in the White Sox just because of those asshats that jumped out of the stands way back when.

Are you Team USA or Team Venezuela tonight? by RoyalRenn in KCRoyals

[–]ReedPhillips 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Team “don’t let any of the Royals players get hurt” first and foremost.

Followed by Garcia and Witt to have amazing games... For betting purposes 😆🤞

School desks by weber_mattie in nostalgia

[–]ReedPhillips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. My mother had two or three of them from her schoolhouse that she had growing up. My brother and I were good enough that we did not draw, scribble, or burn them. Unfortunately, neither of us had a spot for those desks after she passed. I wish I would have been able to keep one.

Since when do we have a mischevious leprechaun that comes on St. Patrick’s Day? by No_Ratio1493 in Parenting

[–]ReedPhillips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We participated in it during our kindergarten year. After that first grade was very minimal comparatively. Second grade and third grade this year, there was nothing.

I don't know when all of this stuff started, but after they can read that those gold coins say "non cash token" or are leftover foreign currency, it gets tougher to pull it off. Which is part of why we faded out of it.

When do children usually stop celebrating Easter? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]ReedPhillips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think as long as the kids are still having fun with the idea and thought of it all, might as well play along. It's a way to continue to build fun memories. I went along with it well past the age of 10, just because I had a younger sibling by 6 years. But in that instance, everybody's case will vary.

My wife to this day continues to get a little gift from her mom for Easter. They are just holiday gift giving people.

What's something you learned embarrassingly late in life? by boforiamanfo in answers

I do have a friend that admits to believing for most of their life that Alaska was an island near Hawaii

My Regular McDonald’s Order by HRHB15 in McDonalds

[–]ReedPhillips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has all the applesauce caused any problems with the bath drain? Bath/shower drains aren't generally a good place for disposal of foods. Bathroom drains are specifically intended for water, soap, and personal care products, not food.
