I was there thirty years ago. I was there the day the strength of plastic failed.

One of the things Millenials don’t need to absorb from us olds is the idea that you should be grateful to have a job.

You weren’t “taught to work.” You were indoctrinated into a system without options, and developed Stockholm Syndrome.

Funny enough my parents always swore to *never* buy brand new cars. Not just because they could get something nicer for the money used, but because the depreciation on new cars is insane. If you have even a cursory understanding of cars you can usually spot a clunker, and if you can’t a mechanic certainly can. You can…

The “just stop by and drop off a resume” advice from olds is the best. I am 63 and still have to explain this is simply not how it works anymore - which depresses the SHIT out of my mother because I make a good impression in person and my resume skills are a bit old - in other words my keywords aren’t hip or modern…

1. Myth: Chocolate milk is made to hide blood from sick cows

Silica, either colloidal, precipitated, or pyrogenic fumed, is a common additive in food production. It is used primarily as a flow or anti-caking agent in powdered foods such as spices and non-dairy coffee creamer, or powders to be formed into pharmaceutical tablets.

People who care this much about others peoples lives probably have something missing in their own, harassing or commenting on Britney is not the answer to that.

There’s a tremendous difference in types of stress, and as a result, the damage that the stress can inflict. Stress involving things that you have some control over, like work projects, is much less toxic than stress involving things that you have little control over, like crime in your neighborhood or financial…

Weed has three to ten times the tar per joint compared to the average cigarette. At least based on analysis done before legalization. Smoking is still smoking.

If a study doesn’t separate non-drinkers into people in recovery and people who just don’t drink, it’s not measuring what people think it’s measuring

I am currently engaged to someone I went to 5-8th grade with, though neither of us were each other’s crush back then. So maybe look on Facebook and see if anyone you didn’t think was hot back then has since become hot? Lol.

All the girls who turned me down in high school are now my Facebook friends.

They’re vetted.

I did this.

Eh, briefly dated in HS. Flash forward to a bit less than 10 years after graduation and she picked me up in a bar in our home town. One night stand has been going on now for, uh, 19 years?

“What they really want to know is how you approach challenges, what you learned from the experience, and how you constructively applied that knowledge to other situations.”

Growing up on well water in a large, very active family, we learned very early on for showering: get in, get wet, turn off the water, lather up (pure glycerin soap), turn the water back on, rinse and GTFO. Once high school sports rolled around, the rinse was cold. Still operate this way - done and done with a shower…

How long have you been with your partner? They might not have been raised in a home that taught them how to identify and communicate their needs and emotions. It might take them time to build that skill.

Sometimes it wouldn’t hurt for my partner to say “Hey, I’m trying to ____.” Just come right out and say they’re looking for some kind of attention. I try to pick up on these clues, but I’m not perfect, occasionally my mind is elsewhere.
