Two bins sit empty in the garage and the recycling is in a bunch of paper grocery bags in the kitchen (convenient like a tortilla bowl salad & also I have ADHD)

Wow, so many movies I need to check out!

I haven't seen this movie since initial VHS viewing several decades ago, but pieces have sure stuck in my mind and I do want to re-watch: Basket Case (1982).

Something about an evil disabled baby so for sure it is very problematic & trashy! (Gem???)

Okay glad I misread this.

Now I shall regale my future grandchildren with the tale of "Old Saucepan", an octogenarian prez who (finally) did the right thing!

I read it to get annoyed with you and am indeed satisfied on that front!

I remember watching this same lack of understanding play out after the Columbine shootings when we had just moved to Denver.

And yeah I've even had discussions with my kids' teachers who were clueless about bullying.

"The Worst Time Travel" -- LOVE IT

Spouse & I both have ADHD, intensified by aging and life circumstance, and we "joke" that now there are no adults in the house

On my son's birthday one year there was a huge wildfire. We could see when the fire reached the top of the ridge across from us and lit up the skyline. Son said it was like the biggest birthday candle in the world.

We had to evacuate & still remember that fire as son's big birthday candle!

Ah, that's all the coconut refs! (Also, this one for sure needs an alt text version!)

Wow, love this and also finally embracing for myself.

Other day spouse opened package and said "how many boxes of gloves do you go through?" in scoldy manner.

I recently discovered game-changing disposable 8mm gloves and gave him withering glare "YOU WANNA START SUMTHIN MISTER??" & he backed down!

Online pre-www: lonely jr hi me met teen boy in a compuserve chat room & we became old-fashion stamp & envelope penpals for a while

That does sound lovely!

I'm gen x & been hopping in and out of walled gardens since the early 80s (BBS's, compuserve, &c.) as I never could make "real" friends. (I have a millennial kid and was in a prodigy forum with other moms due the same time!)

I kinda relish the freedom of friendless-ness

I was in the FFA in high school and spent many hours grading and wrapping tobacco

Every time I drive by that ugly building I remember the wonderful Ethiopian restaurant (with a terrace overlooking Boulder Creek) that had to move out of town to make way for our evil overlords localhistory.boulderlibrary.org/islandora/ob...
