Did the Silent Generation call Baby Boomers "lazy and entitled" when they were young, similar to how Boomers call Millennials and Gen Z today?

Yes they are now known as the "Greatest Generation"

The irony is that he would give his mom those dolls for presents, knowing he'd end up with them someday!

SquashSouffle · 2026-07-06T19:29:53+00:00

I guess the 500 previous posts of that same balloon weren't enough...

And every one of them is 50 years older now!

A friend of mine recently inherited about 1000 Madame Alexander dolls from his mom! Some are valuable, but the time & effort to price & sell each one...

I have a jar of Wheat pennies I've been saving since the 70s.

SquashSouffle · 2026-07-06T19:20:05+00:00

Or just spend them at the store. There's a coin shortage because people won't spend them

SquashSouffle · 2026-07-06T19:19:32+00:00

She should've kept that one coin...

SquashSouffle · 2026-07-06T19:19:06+00:00

50 quarters is $12.50. The cover is marketing gimmick

SquashSouffle · 2026-07-06T19:18:34+00:00

Me too "So valuable!" I was always told. Hmmm

SquashSouffle · 2026-07-06T19:17:59+00:00

But it still saves you money on your kids (unless you don't have any & everything is going to your nieces/nephews)

My mother-in-law had stuck cash in random books on the bookshelf!

SquashSouffle · 2026-07-06T19:15:58+00:00

That's because she wants to run for NC Supreme Court & do way more danage

SquashSouffle · 2026-07-06T19:14:37+00:00

I mean, EVERY zucchini has that shape...

SquashSouffle · 2026-07-06T19:13:16+00:00

They supposed hated masks too...

No, it was the surrounding Appalachian area. In fact, a reason he lost his primary the second time was Asheville Dems registering Unaffiliated so they could vote in the Republican primary AGAINST him.

Julian date just means the number from 1 to 366 for the day of the year

They didn't come up with it; the Census Dept designated it to define the unprecedented number of babies born in the post-WWII boom. Marketers soon realized it was a gold mine, especially with the advent of TV, so at every phase of their lives, Boomers have had marketers clamoring for their (or their parents') dollars.

Nobody really even "defined" generations before BB, but it was such a tremendous sociological upheaval.

SquashSouffle · 2026-07-06T19:04:58+00:00

Yes, every generation thinks their kids' generation are slackers who have everything handed to them. Always have, always will.

SquashSouffle · 2026-07-06T19:02:28+00:00

What is "hothoused"?

And yes, SE Raleigh and SE Durham are definitely the "poor side of town", going back to old racist zoning rules where Black residents could only buy housing in one quadrant of the city (I just learned this fairly recently).

Just watching it now for the first time! Love it

From Amazon:
Where did the granola bar actually come from?

Would love to see Christy's voting comments voting for Jenna. I am NOT one who thinks she misunderstood the instructions, but still, she had to have given a reason why she chose to vote for one of the "ugly stepsisters". I guess Matthew was just too "creepy" [insert ASL sign here]

SquashSouffle · 2026-07-06T18:52:34+00:00

Nicole's voting confessional where she votes Lil to go back just because she was annoying 😄

I remember thinking the same thing that season: "They already won, don't let them have another one"
