GenX- were more Feed the World than Material Girl.

Hard to believe she’s been out in the world THREE years! Forever grateful for the support and the people this book brought into my life.

A lost art. The bangers that were GenX TV theme songs.

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air...
The best TV theme songs belong to GenX.

Does anyone know if the lady who posts her dad’s agenda for his weekly coffees with his friends is on here? It’s the only thing I miss from the other place.
