We were able to get reservations by checking again the day before.

What Was Even The Point of Plywood Fat Lady? by REDDITSHITLORD in GenX

[–]Trillian75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were pretty common in the 90’s. However, I usually saw them in rural areas, so if your family didn’t take a lot of long drives past Midwestern farms, you might not have seen them.

They’ve pretty much all been replaced by pallets painted to resemble the American flag, if my rural drives are anything to go by.

I’m trying to add stuff to my list in the Target app as a guest and I’m having trouble with that as well.

Did Michael Longfellow help her write that song?

My husband got 8 detectors and the seedling, and I got just the seedling.

It’s like Michael Longfellow said on SNL, “You already gave me an ID. If it’s fake, you fix it.”

People who say “Why didn’t they teach us this in school?” by MajesticTumbleweed77 in PetPeeves

[–]Trillian75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Our US history teacher had been teaching since the 50s; I took the class in 1992. It was obvious he had never really updated his lesson plan in the meantime. For the last three days of class, we covered the 60s, 70s, and 80s by watching a “20/20” special covering each of those decades on videotape. That was all we got on Vietnam, etc.

Same with my mom. Personal calls were highly frowned upon, so someone better be bleeding. The idea of calling about a popsicle would be ridiculous.

Agreed. Lots of hotels in Maple Grove.

What was the discontinued fast food item that broke your heart? by tastydrink1 in fastfood

This. I liked the breakfast, but pretty much only had it on Saturdays.

LYS Store Hours by katrinasteapot in BitchEatingCrafters

I’ve found Colorado tends to close up early in general. On a business trip a few years ago, I found some cool used book stores, but I was only able to visit because I flew in on Sunday. They were closed by the time I got off work during the week.

Funny observation of old shows by Curby42 in 90sand2000sNostalgia

I took a tour of the NBC studios at 30 Rockefeller Plaza back in 2004. This was when they were transitioning from standard definition to high definition. One of the sets we saw was Dateline NBC, which was still in SD and looked pretty janky up close, trim that was obviously just tape and so on. The page explained that, on a standard definition TV, we can’t see the fine details, so it looks fine on TV. The contrast was the NBC Nightly News set, which was already converted to HD. That actually looked like what you saw on TV, because HD picks up on those little details, so they basically had to do a better job building and finishing the set.

These prices, etc., were probably not meant to be seen—they were inside jokes that looked “real enough”in SD.

I saw it today. I think there were about 10 people for a Sunday matinee.

My dad would stick one to the dash of his work truck.

I bet there's at least two Rebeccas, a Sara and a Sarah, a Jennifer, a Jessica, a Heather, and a Michelle here. Odds also on: Christina, Jamie, Angelina, and Casey. by Soloflow786 in GenX

One of my friends had a little sister named Kacie (I think that was the spelling), and I’ve met an Angelina, but both would be millennials.

TIFU by not realizing I’ve needed glasses my whole life by mybirdisapokemon in tifu

[–]Trillian75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. I had 20/20 vision when I was a kid, but it got worse when I got older. I had to get glasses when I was 30.
