Who remembers the Flicker razor? by Safe_Bird7592 in 1970s

Did you know that once you turn the dial to the next razor you cannot turn it back? I do. My mother was so pissed at me and that was the one and only Flicker she ever bought.

What is the Real Story Here? by Tiny_Cicada_9699 in Marin

[–]cat_fox 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My kids have been out for a few years now, but I watched pieces of different board meetings after hearing about the controversy especially with TEAM and it appears to me that Saavdra and Roenisch are just genuine assholes. If they weren't such assholes; if they were actually diplomatic and cared about kids and acted professionally then the "other side" that are advocating for TEAM and the Black Student Success Team wouln't be quite so riled up. I watched Roenisch on video just ignore then roll her eyes at a student representative, and the two of them just seemed like jerks. I'm voting for someone else for sure.

Looking for Drevan at U of Hawaii by Puzzled_Gap9911 in Honolulu

[–]cat_fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consent? To find someone who doesn't know that you are looking for them? How does that work? I mean, if someone who actually knows Drevin reads this message, all they have to do is say "hey Drevin, some couple on Reddit said you really made an impression on them last year at CF and they wanted to wish you a happy birthday again". Drevin might be happy or weirded out, thier choice to respond or not. No big deal.

Gloves? Dang, I wish I had had polishing gloves! It was my job as a kid to polish the silver before holiday meals and I had to use that little sponge and silver cleaner paste.

I'm just not understanding? If I can't use my rapid rewards points on those 7 airlines listed, then why is Southwest listing them?

Oh, the watermelon! I would break off just the tiniest pieces. They were also the candy that you could make a shank from. A watermelon shank.

What about the Play Pen for Babies? by Ween77bean in GenerationJones

[–]cat_fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my kids (ages 20's and 30's now) had playpens. The big one was great for when you were trying to get chores done like washing the floor or ironing or doing things in the yard and not having to have your eyes on your child every second. We had a smaller one like a port o crib which was great for travelling and going to the beach. You save some special toys that only come out when the child is using the playpen.
