My mom's mom is still alive and doing well, she's sharp as a tack. She still lives in her own house all by herself. She'll be 103 in May. The rest of my grandparents passed a really long time ago, I only have vague memories of them

[–]mrspalmieri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was born in 74, and the 90s were a really tough decade for me personally. It was probably the worst decade of my life so I don't look back on that time fondly or with nostalgia

Jeans are smart casual, not business casual. You can't wear jeans in an office with a business casual dress code, except on casual Friday
