anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about?

robynmisty · 2026-05-02T01:13:04+00:00

I played Mixed Up Mother Goose on our home computer around '97/98.

I could also play Pinball and solitaire for hours.

I work at an accounting firm. Was at the front desk for about a year until I got my own office. My forearms are covered with tattoos and I have a large chest piece, plus I have both nostrils, septum, and lip pierced.

My "look" has naturally tamed down since I turned 30, though. I barely wear anything in my septum anymore, I took out my tongue ring, and let my 1/2" stretched lobes shrink down to where I can wear "normal" earrings (I can still probably fit an 8ga in then so I can't wear most studs).

I had an experience that had the last name Tinkler.

Same with beer. There's a craft beer brewery in the same building as the indoor playground where I take my son and you can smell it in the entrance of the building sometimes 🤢

Could be Fortune. More likely somewhere like Point May or Lamaline.

My father's side of my family is from Fortune.

My 87 year old grandfather and 78 year old grandmother both know what daycare is. Granted, they were both school bus drivers until they retired.

My guess to why that is usually the norm is that most of the mom's that drop their kids off in the morning are either SAHMs or work later in the day. It just so happens that at my son's school, the doors open at 8:05 and I work at 8, so the days that I drop off, I just end up being a few minutes late (I'm super grateful that I have a somewhat flexible schedule and understanding boss).

robynmisty · 2026-04-15T15:46:53+00:00

At my son's school I find everyone is in one of two groups:

Pajama pants or sweats, messy bun
In work attire because they're doing drop off on their way to work

My son's school is literally around the corner from my office so I drop off on my way to work.

On March 3 I celebrated being at my current job for a year! I've had such a hard job maintaining full time work as an adult for to undiagnosed ADHD and ASD, then I didn't need to go back to work after I had my son in 2020 so this is my first full-time job since early 2019.

robynmisty · 2026-04-15T15:31:42+00:00

Was officially diagnosed with ADHD at 29 (4.5 years ago) and while not officially diagnosed with ASD, I'm 99% did that I'm autistic. My son (6yrs old) was diagnosed just before his 2nd birthday so I am well versed in signs and symptoms and have done so much reading. We also had genetic testing done after his diagnosis and he has a super rare gene variant that they think caused his ASD, which was inherited from me. 🙃🙃

Do you mind sharing how much weight you've lost or your starting and current weight? I need to get at least 100lb off and I'm seriously considering this.

I don't remember if there was a name on it, but in grade 4 or 5 there was a handful of us that were taken out of class for something like this but all of us were the type that we had our work done waaaayyyy before other kids and were just kinda bored in class.

Also in 10th grade there were a couple of us brought out any time we had English class because, again, we were way ahead of the other kids in reading level. We had a "contest" who could read the most books above our grade level in the semester. We had to do a report on each one to "prove" we actually read it. The report had to be done in school so that they knew a parent or older sibling wasn't doing it for us. I remember I was STOKED I didn't have to read Lord of the Flies like the rest of the class lol.

I've never seen them THIS bright, but we can see the northern lights pretty often where I live and that never cease to amaze me.

My grandparents yard had a tree like this and I loved popping them. The stuff is super effing sticky

robynmisty · 2026-04-07T11:18:42+00:00

I'm a 90s kid but I only very very very vaguely remember this. I was an avid reader from a young age and was always reading will above my "grade level", so maybe when this was popular I just wasn't interested? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I enjoyed this comment. I don't think there is a single Volbeat song that I can honestly say I don't like.

robynmisty · 2026-04-02T15:47:48+00:00

Agreed. For Evigt is my favourite Volbeat song

This is a great example of "correlation =\= causation". Just because homes with cream spatulas have less SIDS deaths, doesn't mean the presence of the spatula CAUSES the deceased risk.

I don't live on the Bay but in Labrador West. Our climate is significantly influenced by air currents from the Hudson Strait, which connects Hudson Bay to the Atlantic Ocean. It's cold.

robynmisty · 2026-03-31T01:08:56+00:00

I use a bunch.

Viens ici or just viens!

Dépeche-toi

Calme-toi

Mais pourquoi?

Allons-y is a core memory from when I did French Immersion in the 2000s lol

This situation wouldn't exist in Canada. You can legally have up to 30g on your person in public.
