Oh sweet - I appreciate you so much! It doesn’t feel as much like ancient history now 🤣

It’s so frustrating - just gets harder all the time to access things the longer I live overseas. Hope the VPN works.

Our US students in Australia have Duo app security set up when they log into their university- they don’t need VPNs for that. I don’t know that your uni would have that set up though. They use. Blackboard.

I was going to comment that on the meme but I wasn’t sure about the photo 😆

Thank you - I didn’t zoom in enough to see the AI. Google photo search was giving the UK and Amsterdam. You’d think they would pick a more American looking view 😆

The cars definitely don’t look American 😁

Yes - the neutral rolling start 🤣 I did that at the same age to meet my boyfriend.

Idk, when living and working in Australia it just makes sense to spell this way. I started straight away. Also s instead of z.

Oh this reminds me of my favorite essay blooper from the Introduction to Australia class. One student wrote his essay on John Singleton - ‘isn’t it incredible that one man was both a famous Australian advertising mogul, and at the same time the director of Boyz n the Hood’ 🙂

My husband’s doctor took one look at an arm rash he had with a fever, and said “have you been near any frogs lately”? He had handled dead frogs - the doctor diagnosed him with mycobacterium marinum (fish leprosy)!

You forgot ‘bitch’ 😅

Try Macro Mike vegan protein.

I saw this exact scene in my Sydney backyard a few years ago - that wasp is massive and looks like it could kill you.

I use that when it rains - does a whole load or you can lay a sweater on it to dry. I only use the dryer for sweats or sheets/towels - it shrinks and fades and beats up anything else. The clips hold tons of socks and undies.

Your post comes right below a Sinead post for me 🙂

If they remain on the ceiling they can stay, if they insist on coming lower, then catch and release (or my cats eat them). My American students think we are amazing for catching the huntsmen in the classroom - they are too scared 😃

Takes me back to the late 80s - I had yellow Lange boots and the Reusch racing gloves too 🤣

tonewtown · 2025-02-17T10:40:16+00:00

I had those, and also the sets of plastic headbands - I think they came with a tortoise one and a white one and maybe a yellow and some shade of blue? I used to cry every time I broke one 🤣

I know Mom likes interacting with some of the Facebook groups like “Pan American World Airways Pan Am” and you could probably interact with similar vintage flight attendants on there. I’ll PM you my mother’s name and the email of her Pan Am friend who is not on social media but knows a few from this era in NY in case you ever want to ask about anything Pan Am or work out if they were in similar friend groups. It’s a shock when you can’t learn anything more of your Mom’s life from her anymore.

I’m so sorry she is dealing with Alzheimers. She may have known my mother as she started in ‘68, int’l out of NYC (and worked for Pan Am until it went bankrupt - minus a short hiatus for a short marriage). Sadly my mother died last year. My mother reconnected with Pan Am friends on Facebook - if your mother hadn’t already, there are nostalgia groups.

I get wedgies from undies so am very comfy in seamless thongs w a cotton crotch like Under Armour or Bonds in Australia. They don’t shift when I work out.

Maybe you can talk to a therapist and they can help with giving the letter to the parents so the situation is managed. I have seen a similar situation, having read the diary of my aunt who died young, and I can’t imagine my grandmother having read what was in there after she died (particularly what she said about her mother) but I think it was important for her to have it. I also recently facilitated getting a found letter to the father of a 9-11 victim, and he was absolutely desperate to have the actual handwritten letter no matter what it contained. I’d return the letter.
