While I’m sure this is a reference no one under 30 gets, I totally appreciate it.

My take on “can’t roll down hill” = because he’s square. Square is just slang for being “rigidly conventional”.

I love to see young women playing with their hair. So many of my generation still have the same hairstyle from high school. Hair is a renewable resource people, act accordingly.

This photo!

I had a blind date to prom. It was reasonable miserable, but hey, I went to prom!

This is visible at Farmers Market/The Grove as well. I’ve been wondering why I keep finding parking so easily there lately, now I have my answer. I don’t care if it affects the Gilmore family, they can go fuck themselves, but some of those businesses at Farmers are still family owned.

In 23 days I’m leaving for NZ for 2.5 weeks. BUT I haven’t taken more than a week off a year for YEARS. And yet my boss wants me to make up that “extra” 1/2 week I’m taking off. I’ve worked here 20 years. I’m going to start updating my resume when I get back. Always take your PTO ladies, always.

I took a staycation once and loved it. I took the whole week to eat at some of my favorite places that weren’t crowded because it was the middle of the week. I also went to a bunch of museums (I scouted out the free days beforehand) that were all but empty. Lastly, I read. That may not sound like much, but I just…

I’m 51 and all of the “reasons” listed above for not taking your vacation were the same ones I used in my 20's, 30's, and 40's. I’m here to tell you that your boss is happy to continue to take advantage of this. It seriously took me to my 50's to learn a very hard lesson. It does not help your career to not take your…

At least the brims are bent. I hated the flat brim look.

Too funny. Just bought it. Thanks for that!

I miss my flip phone. That sound it would make when I hung up on my boyfriend, GOD I miss that. I’m hoping Apple comes out with a iphone/flip phone by the time my kids are teenagers so I can hang up on them properly. That said, my husband and I joke about getting a vintage rotary dial phone at a flea market to give to…

I so NEED that white gauzy top for my middle-aged Stevie Nicks fantasies. Anybody know anything about it?

I had “AMA” written on my chart. I was told it stands for Advanced Maternal Age. I was 40 so yeah ok, but still thought it was funny.

I’m a Gen X’er and slightly more than a third of my female friends from high school did not have kids. A lot of the “Should I or shouldn’t I?” really happened for us because of the relative ease of obtaining birth control.

In my 20’s I worked my ass off and went to a lot of concerts. In my 30’s I partied and traveled. I had two babies in my 40’s, settled down and paid a mortgage. Now in my 50’s, I’ve sold the house, threw a few bucks into the college fund, and now we can travel with our kids. I’ll be in my 60’s when my youngest…

I just popped in here to say that Glenn Quinn was such a sweetheart when I met him. I had to get him to sign several documents and he talked about practicing his signature when he was younger, perfecting his autograph for when he’d be an actor.

The business Uber does in L.A. alone should be enough to keep them afloat for awhile longer. That said, prior to Uber’s existence you could not PAY someone that worked in the industry to take a cab in this town. Now you get PA’s making a buck fifty a day taking Uber’s to set. And The Grove! My god, there are more…

I’m old too and I only know about him because he and that red-headed Stevie Nicks wannabe did a Prozac version of “Love Hurts” that I caught for some reason. Between that and the clip up thread I’m pretty Meh on the guy. I may watch him on SNL though to see if I’m missing something.

Iceland is to the East Coast what New Zealand is to the West Coast. I live in L.A. and don’t know a single person that’s been to Iceland. However, my June trip to NZ isn’t impressing too many people here. This will be my 3rd trip to NZ and while it has many of the things that Iceland has scenic wise, it does sound…
