Me too. Looking forward to shocking everyone when I tell them I’m 70.

Good overview. I was a child in the Fifties and so experienced it as a child, but my husband was a teenager, and he often objected to the stereotype of it being a time of conformity. On the contrary, he and his cohorts were challenging the assumptions of the culture, travelling across country - don’t forget the Beats…

I have wondered if it has something to do with the cream getting all over their body hair. Maybe they reflexively think that’s messy.

Man, those are NOT miniskirts on the Hullaballoo dancers with Di Caprio! Either someone is completely ignorant or they weren’t intended to look authentic.

Potential bacteria from meat is more difficult to eradicate as well as being more harmful so it’s best to just get rid of the bag. (If you’re concerned about adding to waste, consider how much trash would be generated if you got violently ill.) I use a separate cutting plastic cutting board for meat and seafood which…

I almost got to go to the original Woodstock, but who knew? Maybe 10 of the acts advertised above belong at Woodstock 50. Jay-Z? My dear. I went to a similar event at Watkins Glen in 1973: 600,000 people, hot sun, Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, someone else significant I can’t recall, that was it.

I had this briefly. In 1965.

Also look to your right to avoid hitting a teen on a bike on the wrong side of the road or a nitwit runner who doesn’t think they need to stop at the corner.

Got my blood pressure checked yesterday and it was 30 points higher than usual. The doctor concluded that it was because I had just spent a week in Canada eating cured meats 3 times a day.

I don’t read the news closely but I do follow it, so I feel justified in wanting to ask most of them, “Who are you and why should I care?” Yes, we’ve had several presidents who were hardly known outside their states but an obscure candidate had better bring a lot to the table.

The same thing happens to me. What really annoyed me is when it was in a department where I had been working for 5 years.

The trick with Cheesecake Factory cheesecake (1200-1600 calories) is to not eat the slice all at once but spread it out over a couple of days. A relative of mine likes to go to one after meeting with her financial advisor, because having just been told she has X million dollars she feels, Why not, let’s splurge.

When you’re on the water, wear a lifejacket. Make sure everyone in the boat is wearing one. When portaging (carrying) your stuff through the woods keep your lifejacket on so people can see where you are.

Visited Quebec, so I got to watch Canadian TV. Mulled over the following: How come there is so much TV in French when 3/4 of the population doesn’t speak French? How come I can’t understand the French on NCIS? How come there are so many Canadian TV series not on US stations, or series I’ve never even heard of? Why…

What I want to know is, how come I get frost on the *inside* of my windshield in the winter?

That was the point, actually. Though it obviously took a few years to get it made, Lucas has admitted that he created it because he wasn’t interested in seeing any of the movies already out there.

I don’t remember Shark Week frm the Nineties - maybe I didn’t have enough cable then. I do recall that not much was going on in August 2001 and the media resorted to shark stories. Then September rolled around...

Definitely. One might say that it is an adult “Graduate”. For viewers who don’t get “The Graduate”, see these two films together.

Read the book to find out? Interesting thought.

I was told by someone who had read the book that it ends with her saying something to him on the bus and he replies, “Shut up.” So the author knew well that they were stepping off into the abyss.
