You're only 7 years older than me. I had fun at every job I held back then. But it was tough if your car broke down or you were out of work, as I was in 89 when the recession hit early in TX (because of oil). Lost my electricity, only ate because I had friends that helped, barely made rent.

White cans labeled "BEER" at H.E.B.
Yeah, people think HEB is this high-end Texas grocery store. I used to go there in the 80s just to enjoy the AC that I didn't have in my apartment and for the $1.99 six-packs of generic BEER.

Possibly amusing thing her: men not realizing that repealing the 19th does nothing by itself. You still have to convince states to follow up.
Repealing the 19th just means states can disenfranchise by sex. Congrats incels: states may then choose to block men from voting!

The exact same thing for me, in east Texas. My dad's favorite cousins, who visited all the time, became my uncles & aunts.
I had a real aunt, but she was older and we weren't close.
