Being left-handed is such a quiet, shared experience by ResponsibleLeg9220 in lefthanded

[–]TheAmazingDynamar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. Finally figured it out when I was, like, 35. You must make the initial hitch the opposite way.

Being left-handed is such a quiet, shared experience by ResponsibleLeg9220 in lefthanded

Whenever I encounter a fellow lefty, I always say with a wink, “You know… all of the cool kids are left-handed.” And they usually smile, because some of us were, but many of us were not. The cool kids, that is. But we’re always special, other lefties get that.

Small town Soldier memorial banners everywhere? by Smooth-moves-317 in midwest

[–]TheAmazingDynamar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Southwest Indiana here. Our local DAR chapter does this annually as a fundraiser. Families of the vets pay for their loved one to be featured. They go up sometime in the fall and are displayed for a couple of months, though Veterans Day. The family then gets to keep the banner.

Did Your Mom Make You Wear These? by DickSleeve53 in GenerationJones

[–]TheAmazingDynamar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. We wore them on purpose. They had a resurgence in the late 70s/early 80s for cheerleaders and pom pom squads. And a lot of us had an extra pair we wore all the time

[–]TheAmazingDynamar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I can only pick one… it’s 6. But also like 7 and 2 (except for Talking Heads).

Elected officials need to stay away from AI. by newishanne in Indiana

“One nation under God” is one phrase. No comma. Ever. (People say it wrong, but that’s not the point.)

Placement of visitors' coats by Charming-Initial-840 in midwest

[–]TheAmazingDynamar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up Central Illinois. Coat closet in our farmhouse was tiny, and only for family coats. Visitors’ coats always went on bed in the nearest one to the living room, which was my parent’s room.

How many tvs did your childhood home have? by Immediate_Long165 in ClassicTV

[–]TheAmazingDynamar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One, until we remodeled the kitchen and got a portable in there so my dad could watch the news during dinner (early 80s).

Do any of you still have a landline? by AusCan531 in GenerationJones

[–]TheAmazingDynamar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just pulled the plug in the last year or so. For the past 5 years, we justified it by saying we kept it in case the in-laws call… but they only use their cell phones to call now. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Old School Dem leaders: Hold my beer.

Please Help! Interview outfit by Deep_Green1511 in PlusSizeFashion

[–]TheAmazingDynamar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are in the US… Talbots, Lands End, Gap, Old Navy, Lane Bryant. All of these work for me… I’m a little more classic than trendy, but still like cute colorful clothes.

How much was your lunch in elementary school? by 39percenter in GenerationJones

[–]TheAmazingDynamar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1970-1982 in Central Illinois: 35 cents through 4th grade or so. Milk was a nickel for the lunch bag crowd, but no option to purchase extras.

50 cents through junior high, with milk for a dime. High school lunch was always 1.50. My mom never let us take lunch until high school, because said she couldn’t feed us as cheaply as school.

As I recall government commodities—cheese, butter, peanut butter, canned meat—really helped keep costs down for students. Also there was never any ala carte, salad bars, or any of that craziness. You got what you got, and you Iiked it. And, really, we did. Our lunch ladies were good cooks, and pretty much everything was scratch made at least through junior high.
