We got them every Earth Day in Elementary school. I'd always plant mine, and at some point in time it would always get ran over when mowing XD
I tell people all the time how important it is to memorize the phone numbers of at least two or three of your closest contacts. Phones can be broken or stolen in a critical situation and not being able to contact someone you need quickly can make a bad situation that much worse. No one ever listens to me.
I am an electronic music composer. I burn CDs all the time to listen to the music on various stereo systems and to give to friends.
I don't remember "yanks plank away" being discussed on career day. Pity, I look good in green.
Sometimes I think the 2012 predictions were right on point, with the only exception that the End of the World will be slow, veeeery slow, and painful...
Well, yes, it probably was a shock at first. Now dig out a wallow, get comfy, and set a while. This doesn't make things better, it just preserves your energies for vague old person statements. "Tires? We didn't have tires, we had tuna helper!" It's kind of fun once you get the hang of it.
I spent YEARS seeing people wearing Hollister clothes and thinking they were all alumni of some huge college I'd never heard of.
Just like everyone does at all ages. My boss still listens to the Who and Steely Dan and such. He doesn't understand why I think they're c**p. My musical tastes calcified while I was in grad school, not while I was in high school...
"what is the cheese situation" is an appropriate question for any occasion
That is a not a Polly Pocket from my childhood. Back then Polly's whole house fit in your pocket.
I hope you know, I hope you know that that has nothing to do with you
No but the scene when he sings to her in the outdoor stadium with marching band i loooveee youuuu baby!!! And i say "can you ever just me whelmed" (i know can be over/under)
This makes me so glad I'm in my 50s, simply because I went to school when I learned proper grammar. I had to study this for almost a minute to figure out what the hëll it said.
they still use these. I'm a high school student and I had a bio test with these last week
My son’s an older millennial, but he’s done okay, altho he and SO have had to work very hard. The Bush recession and current inflation were hard on them and I’m afraid the Trump one is going to be worse.
I have always been confused about this. I'm technically a millennial because of being born in '89, but I relate to so many more things from Gen X... Is that the elder millennial thing, or is it something different entirely?
All of these generations are groupings to make it easier for marketers. Have no basis in reality.
