Ha! Now that’s a response I would not have expected, but yeah, I suppose if you grew up under the Cuban Missile Crisis, it’s to be expected.

Hehe I’m sure—but I was born in 1968.

Respectfully, ew no, WTF? ;)

Heh, wish I could feel more reassured. I’m almost 50. I grew up with the Cold War, an intact USSR, etc. And I remember this gem of a made for TV movie, as well.

That’s a lot of people who die in one instant, and possibly the rest who die slowly. :( I’m sure on some level you know that.

I’m not nearly as interested in NukeMap, as I am MissileMap. When I bounced over to MissileMap, being a life long Best Coaster, I immediately plugged in locations in Oregon, where I live. We’ve always been told that there is no NK missile that could reach us, but based upon the map, there’s a 50/50 probability that…

Respectfully, if you’ve never been paralyzed by a traumatic event that left you with lifelong issues (and I say this as someone living with PTSD), it’s a pretty luxurious position to be able to suggest someone just “work on it”.

I really, really want to use Hucakbee Sanders and Trump as examples of this sort of thing in my courses, but we’re in a period where taking a definite political stance is professionally inadvisable in my line of work

Respectfully: request the quadvalent flu shot. This is geared to provide protection against the 4 most prevalent strains. Is it still a crap shoot? I suppose, but not the same crap shoot as a single or double strain flu shot.

Gen X, soon to be 50 and this title give me all the feels. I’m a survivor of long term childhood sexual abuse and one of the postures I adopted as a younger woman was that of the bitch. I was largely unapproachable in public, and people would steer clear of me in bars (back in the days when I drank).

People with kids, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, neighbor kids, etc. please use this as a teachable moment to talk about racism and the epitome of what it means to be a sore loser.

I was a teen when U2 began their popular climb, in the early years of MTV when they still played music. Bono has become progressively more and more irrelevant and obtuse and he’s literally the only one who doesn’t seem to know this.

A question for those who grew up in states with serious winters: I grew up in Alaska, and I believe driving on ice has a specific sound. I now live in Oregon, and although 99% of the time I can visually see the difference in what is ice or not (including black ice), if I want to be extra certain, I turn off music in…

I was in high school when Mommie Dearest came out—while today it’s viewed as a camp comedy, it wasn’t actually intended to be that way. But yeah, so many meme-able one liners!

As always, that has more to do with how your state has implemented this—some states are not obstructionist and premiums are much lower as a result.

OMG husky/greyhound mix? Good lord, someone wanted a dog that really, really likes running.

I grew up in Alaska, and loved it when folks finally started making husky hair knitted goods from all the shedding! Everything smells like dog when the hats or gloves get wet, but hey, it’s super soft!

I have had life long issues with housecleaning, part of the Complex PTSD suite of exciting features from growing up in a traumatically abusive home. I’m not a hoarder, but some of the same tools that can help hoarders (questioning strategies to learn how to self-evaluate what should be saved, what shouldn’t, reminding…

You would be surprised how many guys didn’t understand this—and those that still don’t get it.

We know. :)
