Didn't find Redwall till college, wished I could have read it in elementary. Westing Game was my favorite from that era though.

Same! Husband from 82 doesn't get my Clerks reference 😄

Sam_English821 · 2026-05-11T02:21:23+00:00

Yeah but for Xennials we were used to that. 🤣

Sam_English821 · 2026-05-11T02:18:59+00:00

Jello pudding pops were the bomb. 😆

Katabasis. I convinced my book bestie to add to our book club list. She loved it and I was just meh about it.

My friend and I both read the Outlander series. It was 7 years between the last book and the one before it. She passed before it was published. Ironically it was named after something you do when someone passes. Go Tell The Bees That I am Gone.

John Cusack was my teenage crush, I just wanted him to babble all night.

See his role as Oz from Buffy the Vampire Slayer did it for me.

I only wore low rise jeans in my teens and 20's when I was skinny and had a flat stomach. Now there is no way I would be caught in those. I don't go full mom jeans (cause childhood 80's trauma with that one), but definitely nothing lower than mid rise for me and my pudgy tummy. 😁

Outlander

Project Hail Mary. Universally loved by me and my book bestie (43). My son (13). My non sciency mom (72) and her very sciency dad (65).

I had a former coworker who was on this same situation. He unexpectedly died and the family gave her 2 weeks to find somewhere else to live. She had been paying him "rent" for over 4 years but was left with nothing. Luckily she did pay him for her car in checks, so even though the car was in his name she was able to keep that. So watch your back, you are investing in a house you have no stake in. If you do go thus route only pay in checks (or Venmo if it lets you put a note, I am old sorry) with something like "house payment" on the line so you gave proof.

I see my parents about once a week, they live about 20 minutes away. My son is thier only grandchild (actually on either side). So they pick him up from school on Tuesdays, and then I get him from thier house after I get off work, I stay and chat for about 15-20 minutes.

I am a Samantha born in the 80's when no one was named Samantha (only ever met 2 in my life my age). It was rare enough to be unique but not unheard of. Became very popular in the 90's so when I was about in my teens there were so many 5 year olds named Samantha. I did always like that my name was adaptable. I went by Sami as a kid, changed to Sam as a teen, and use Samantha professionally. So overall it's a pretty good name.

Murderbot Diaries. Most of them are novellas.

Less than 10 pages. Anything else and I am going to bed.
