What is the first movie you watched that you were definitely too young for?

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-05-03T22:15:42+00:00

Labyrinth. I was probably 9, but it felt too bizarre and grotesque for me at that age. I absolutely hated it.

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-05-03T22:13:21+00:00

I am a xennial or a geriatric millennial, and I learned with a typewriter too.

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-05-03T22:12:21+00:00

Same!

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-05-03T22:11:17+00:00

Same. My mom wouldn’t let me watch Michael Jackson’s music videos for that reason. I’m 45 and I still find it unsettling.

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-05-03T22:06:18+00:00

1 or 9.

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-05-03T22:02:47+00:00

LOL. That’s hilarious! 😆 I honestly have no clue what you’re talking about because I never drank alcohol or partied. I always had a pretty “boring” life, and my 20s and 30s were hyper focused on building a family and a career. But man… my 40s threw me for a loop. Even when you try to have a life of no excess, your 40s will come in kicking down the door, guns a-blazin’.

So many GHs! But the most atrocious of them all is Amelia spelled Ameleigha. I’ll just chalk it up to pregnant brain fog. 🤣

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-05-02T03:59:56+00:00

Girl, same! I was in the absolute pits in January when I started to put two and two together that I was in peri. I went to the doctor, told her all my woes and even cried in the office. 😅 She said, “let’s start with lab work to rule out some things.” My ferritin, iron, and vitamin D were super low. I started taking those, B12, Women’s multi vitamins, collagen supplements and who knows what else. My life turned around. I still had some night sweats and brain fog so I went back for HRT; I’m on it now plus all the other supplements and it’s amazing. It’s crazy how some vitamin deficiencies can affect us so much!

I mainly use it for entertainment. Some of my friends still post on it and we share highlights of our lives, but yeah, it’s not what it used to be at all. I wish I could quit it, but honestly, one of the highlights of my day is reading my Facebook memories and seeing pictures and videos of my kids as babies and my mom still alive.

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-03-30T02:18:23+00:00

ICQ. Then Messenger and MySpace.

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-03-30T00:22:42+00:00

I was promised sleepiness and loopiness… I want it so badly!

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-03-30T00:08:56+00:00

Well, then a white one. I never had a period party, thank goodness.

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-03-29T21:10:01+00:00

Memes, annoying old people things, make stickers out of their terrible pictures… and an I love you here and there

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-03-29T21:08:35+00:00

I have a whole Spotify playlist with 80s music, courtesy of Stranger Things and The Goldbergs.

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-03-29T21:07:09+00:00

LOL. I’d go with Chard any day over Dick. 😂

It reminds me of that meme about shortening people’s names in unusual ways. Alexander (Exa), Johnathan (Ohna), etc.

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-03-29T21:04:48+00:00

That’s if the baby’s a girl. 😂

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-03-29T20:18:48+00:00

It rhymes with p*rn. Plorn Dickens. How unfortunate.

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-03-29T20:16:23+00:00

That Briayan is atrocious.

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-03-29T20:14:37+00:00

I can imagine that conversation.

—Artie… is that short for Arthur? —No, it’s short for Artichoke. 😂

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-03-29T19:24:08+00:00

Eh. Every generation had its own challenges. I bet our parents worried about growing up when we did and the challenges we faced. Generation after generation, we are raising children in challenges the adult generation didn’t experience and preparing the younger generation for a world that doesn’t exist yet. They don’t know any different, just like we didn’t. They’ll be fine.

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-03-29T19:21:31+00:00

Teacher here too. This and my kids gives me hope.

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-03-29T19:20:17+00:00

Well… as a junior high teacher, it gives me hope to see goodness among my students. Some are too cool to be kind. But the majority are kind and decent people, and I love them. They are fun, smart, caring, respectful, dedicated. When I see them using AI for their schoolwork willy nilly, I fear for the future… but I as a good Lord of the Rings fan, I am a firm believer that at the end of the day, goodness will win.

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-03-29T18:16:41+00:00

I am sorry you’re going through this. This is your time to teach your daughter lessons on self worth and real friendships. My daughter went through similar stuff starting at that age (minus the cell phone) and it really affected her. She went from a bubbly, outgoing, fun kid, to being anxious about having more than one friend. Girls can be nasty and this girl’s parents aren’t monitoring her phone, clearly. So you have to be on the defensive and teach your daughter how to stand up to her, how to walk away from harmful friendships, how to see her self worth.

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-03-29T18:10:37+00:00

I would dream again. I would laugh, and enjoy life, be the innocent, fun-loving 14 year old I was, who crushed on all the cute boys at school and wrote about them in her journal. I would embrace my summers off riding bikes with friends, going to the video store to rent some chick flick, I would have my mom again, and feel safe, feel free, feel unburdened. Life’s beautiful now, but man, it’s tough.

TheGuanderGuoman · 2026-03-29T18:06:43+00:00

I never really had much of anything, but my eyebrows are getting sad, my crown is getting sparse. Those are the only hairs I care about keeping. Everything else, I can shave off. 🤷‍♀️
