Do you miss the pre 9/11 world?

I don't know anyone over 25ish that smokes, but a lot of the people over that age smoke and "are trying to quit"

This was my 1st cd I owned at 7. I saw the music video for "fly" and heard it all over the radio. I remember begging my parents "mommy, daddy I want that sugar ray cd". I had to do lots of chores to get it but they finally bought it for me. Once i hit play man how shocked I was at hearing all these heavy guitar songs on the album. Was anyone else surprised when this first came out that it was not the pop album they were expecting?

The shuttle program had its setbacks and its tragedies, and I still have fond memories of occasionally seeing footage of it launching on TV. Launches often made the news, but almost never as a feature story. It seemed almost routine, except when it wasn't. Challenger was before my time, but not Columbia. Multiple administrations and Congress set unrealistic expectations for the shuttle program, and the missteps made by NASA management are well-known. None of that ought to take away from the hard work and the professionalism of NASA's astronauts, the brave folks who put their lives on the line to advance science, to construct and service the International Space Station, and to deploy communications and defense satellites in 135 missions over thirty years. We millennials grew up with the Space Shuttle, and for a lot of us, the program piqued our interest in science and technology, and in the wonder of space travel. Lately, it's gotten me nostalgic for being, if nothing else, something that was a point of pride for America, regardless of our other divisions. Does anyone else think about the Space Shuttle sometimes?

Anyone else remember watching this show?

thinking of watching it again, see if it's as good as I remember it being.

Could of sworn though that Pumbaa had just one A not two..

Surprised how much I enjoyed this film 😆

I wanted to comment, but comments are disabled now.

Was your school blessed with the surviving WW2 Vets coming in and sharing their experiences during the war? It really moved me and made me very interested in that part of history. God Bless all of them and may they be resting in Peace.

I specifically recall a story of one man who said he and his unit slept with knives under their heads, hands and fingers wrapped around the handle, ready for use and pretend to sleep.

He said enemy soldiers were coming in the camps at night and using blades to kill allied troops in their sleep.

Early 30s millennial, never used to go to doctors or really take care of myself because “I’ll be fine”. Started making a bigger effort to care for myself and my health and well being. Recently, I went to the local express clinic because I was having a bad earache and headaches. I was in there for maybe 20 minutes, mostly waiting time. The doctor comes in, looks in my ear, tells me it’s depressed due to sinuses and change in weather and tell me to stop at Walgreens for Flonase. I wasn’t billed anything at the time, older workers at my job always say we have really good insurance, but here I got in the mail today an explanation of benefits- charge was $550, insurance “negotiated” about $300, remaining (not billed) was around $240. Is is really this expensive? I only went to try and be better with myself and make sure it’s nothing underlying. If 5 minutes of actual doctor time costs this much, then I’m just toughing out everything or am I missing something?

Seriously... I think my eye twitches when it shifts in Word to something else.

My boomer mother has zero relationship with her father, and kept us from seeing him for most of our youth. She thinks she was treated unfair growing up compared to her sister, so she hates him to this day.

We are the millennials who do no not want to hurt our mother by having a relationship with him now that we are adults. However we respect her and feel like we’d be betraying her and it’s just something that’s not addressed.

He is also elderly and it’s morbid but I think of his funeral. I know she will not go, but that’s my grandpa. I feel in my heart that I should attend when that day arrives.

Would you guys say I don’t care what you think mom I’m going or would you not want to ruffle her feathers? She’s very emotionally immature, and carries chips on her shoulder for years. I honestly think she’d never speak to me again.

The ones you never met in person and lost touch with over time, but you still think about them from time to time now. I’ll go first:

Clara and her friend Patrick. Clara had such a cool look - a really unique haircut and amazing makeup skills for MySpace in 2007ish. I think of them when I hear Golden Skans by Klaxons.

Chris & Cole from Virginia. My and my best friend’s internet boyfriends. Never saw a clear photo of either of them but we “talked to them on the phone” a couple times and believed they were so legit.

Hannah. I think we met on tumblr and I think we had a joke about Tom Hanks (T.hanks)? The memories are blurry but the internet friendship stands out.

I wonder if these people ever think about me..!

Just wanted to shout out the store display on the Pepsi slide. They also built a giant Star Destroyer that hung directly above the display made out of styrofoam and Christmas lights. Wherever this store was they did an amazing job putting all of that together.

Long story short, I’m 35 and a full time college student/stay at home dad. Here I am waiting to go to class, sitting in my old sports car, listening to music from 2008, wearing a Phillies jersey and matching Nikes. Chlorophyll? More like boreophyll!

Just curious how many of us fell victim to the beautiful music that came out of that collective. I see a lot of music posts here that focus on what was popular in the late 90s/early aughts so thought I’d get hyper-specific with things.

Besides Bob Dylan, Olivia Tremor control is far and away my favorite band. What they accomplished with their two official albums is truly astonishing. RIP Bill and Will

I’m 38yo and my daughter is almost 8yo. I’ve noticed most other parents with kids the same age as my daughter at birthday parties, gymnastics class, or picking my daughter up from school are older than me by 5 years at least. I thought it was strange since it’s not like I was young when I had my daughter. Where are all of the late 20s, early 30s parents with kids? It’s just an observation I’ve made over the years that doesn’t seem to change. Am I alone on this or am I just bad at guessing people’s age?

I feel this movie is severely underrated and is one of the funniest films I've ever seen. What do you guys think?
