    I have a habit of counting all those little animations we get now before the movie. The record is eleven (in a Russian-made film). I suspect, one day we'll have a whole movie just of them.

    No wonder 'Childhood & Memes' has such a huge following. Krystine Batcho, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist and professor at LeMoyne College and she believes that nostalgia is an emotional experience that unifies.

    "One example of this is it helps to unite our sense of who we are, our self, our identity over time," Batcho explained.

    "Because over time we change constantly, we change in incredible ways. We're not anywhere near the same as we were when we were three years old, for example. Nostalgia, by motivating us to remember the past in our own life, helps to unite us to that authentic self and remind us of who we have been and then compare that to who we feel we are today."

    That gives us a sense of who we want to be down the road in the future as well.

    "The other way that nostalgia serves an essential psychological function is that it is a highly social emotion," Batcho added. "It connects us to other people"

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Nostalgia does that in many beautiful ways, not just memes. "In the beginning, when we're very young, it's part of what bonds us to the most important people in our life, our parents, our siblings, our friends. As we go through life, it can broaden out and extend to a wider sphere of the people we interact with"

    "It's a social connectedness phenomenon and nostalgia is in that sense a very healthy pro-social emotion," the psychologist added.

    Nostalgia also helps us to unify what otherwise would be felt or experienced by us as conflicts.

    "In itself, it is somewhat of a conflict because as I define it is a bitter-sweet emotion," Batcho noted. "It's sweet because we're remembering the best times, the good times of our life. The bitterness comes from the sense that we know for sure that we can never really regain them, they're gone forever."

    The irreversibility of time means that there is no way to go back in time so it helps us to deal with the conflict of the bitter longing for what can never be again, together with the sweetness of having experienced it and being able to revisit it and relive it again.

    My daughter has started playing UNO recently and she doesn't like playing with her daddy. She insists she plays sitting next to me and we team up against him! :D :D

    It’s supposed to be evil, that’s the fun of it. But, for even more evil, find a game called “Mille Borne (sp)”. In terms of evil? UNO’s is a a piker. MB is the absolutely true and lasting evil!

    Change, whether it's good or bad, is stressful. That's mostly because we're not 100 percent sure how much of it is within our control.

    So when things begin to change, either very substantially, such as major events in a person's life, getting married or getting divorced, getting a new career, going back to school or graduating from school, it's comforting to have a nostalgic feeling for the past that reminds us that although we don't know what the future is going to bring, what we do know is that we know who we have been and who we are.

    I remember going to the craft store and someone had broken open a bag of these all over the floor (clear & blue). Blue was my 4-year old autistic son's favorite color so while I was looking at other things he quietly filled his pockets - which I didn't discover till strapping him into his car seat. He was so sad when I explained he had technically stolen them.

    We used to use these at the pottery club when we were kids and teens. We would add them when applying the glaze. The glass melts during the firing process and cracks when cooling down, creating some very nice patterns.

    These pictures bring us back to the times when we were accepted and loved unconditionally.

    "That is such a powerfully comforting phenomenon, knowing that there was a time in life when we didn't have to earn our love, or we didn't deserve it because we earned a certain amount of money or we were successful in a certain venue," Batcho said.

    "Our parents, for example, or our siblings, or our friends simply loved us unconditionally. That is a wonderfully comforting feeling when we're undergoing any kind of turmoil in our personal lives."

    Yeah, nah. Our juice was called mini sips. It came in a clear plastic bag that you stabbed with a straw. Once you finished your drink, you would blow into the straw, fill the bag with air and stick the straw out the other side to make yourself a balloon. The dumber kids would bust this balloon and spray juice crumbs all over themselves.

    My daughter is really creative at making things. What are the chances I just looked on Amazon, found them, put them in the cart, went to checkout and thinking in my head... hmmm I have a gift card as a credit for a return. I wonder how much it'll take off... $14.92 with a balance charged to my card of... $14.92! If that's not a sign to buy them... 🤣

    When we got married (30 years ago) my husband and I used to go to McD's on Friday night and we could get two extra value meals for $6.37 (tax included) and sometimes we got two pies for $1 for dessert.

    How old am I? I remember their TV commercial back in the 60's " Feed a family of four for under $5.00". 4 cheeseburgers, 4 small fries and 4 drinks were less than $5. No dining room's just a white and red tiled exterior with built in bench seats. This was before the 1967 debut of the Big Mac

    I don't mean to ruin the mood but Rainbow road is in literally every iteration of Maro cart for every Nintendo console that has ever existed AND it's even in the new Mario movie. You would have to have to have avoided a massive chunk of video games and pop culture for the last 40 years to not have a clue with this one.

    If he's only waking up mom because he missed the bus that means, in theory, he had already been up on his own, showered and dressed, fed himself, brushed his teeth, was ready to go and mom would still be asleep after. I want that.

    thats the point, when we grew up it was the era of latch key kids, we raised ourselves, and on the weekends you do not wake them up! you quietly got up went to the kitchen got yourself a bowl of cereal and sat 3 feet from the tv watching saturday morning cartoons on low volume until your parents got up and kicked you out of the house for the day to play with your friends.

    I remember laying in bed awake and realising my mum had forgot to set the alarm. I'd lie there until 9am,when school starts, then wake her up saying we both slept in. It was the best way to get a day off without faking a sore stomach, plus u could go outside and play because it was her fault for not setting the alarm.

    I only did that once or twice, because I would get there insanely early, otherwise I got too anxious. I did walk home a number of times because a migraine started on my way to the bus stop. Mum would never be in bed though, too busy wrangling my younger siblings!

    The rule in my house (growing up for me and I enforced it with my kids) was that you had to be involved with some type of extracurricular activity of your own choosing. What activity it was changed but if you quit one you had to replace it with something else. It worked out well for me and it's worked out for both of my kids being able to explore different things and find out what you really like and are passionate about.

    Definitely the school square pizza. This schools (near me at least) changed to nasty flavorless pizzas. I didn't believe my kids when they told me the school pizza was gross until the elementary school let parents come have lunch with the kids. I was appalled.
