I've been following this little cutie for a LONG time on YT...isn't he ADORABLE!!!

Ummm...it's not like we didn't KNOW you'd win DC.

DC is, after all, nothing but a circle jerk.

My GGM would've said 'tits on a boar hog'...just tossing that out there because I've SO very rarely had an opportunity to use the phrase. 🤣

Participation trophies (the mindset that 'EVERYONE'S A WINNER!) destroyed a generation (or more!) of children, resulting in adults who are BREATHTAKINGLY incapable of coping with failure OR learning from their mistakes.

It effectively destroyed the drive for exceptionalism.

It's a gift. 😇

LAWDY!

I don't RT often, but this is nothing short of PURE TRUTH!

LOL!

You never know what you'll find when you do an online search for something simple (sodium citrate, in this instance)...found an entire blog about the 'vampiric experience' and how to...treat...blood for drinking.

That's it. I'm done for today.

As you were.

This is what happens when one has NO IDEA what a word ACTUALLY means but chooses to use it anyway...

This is why we never pack-up our summer clothes in the South!

here I am...

(props to Lionel, though!)

'66 - '78 for me...I saw obesity (especially after about '74-ish...but not much), but none of the other issues you mentioned.

RARELY saw any allergies, either.

Got 'stuck' trying to go uphill (a RARE ice/snow event around here...it's a long story) and here comes this TINY little jeep offering to pull my full-sized '97 Chevy truck up that icy hill.

You could not have PAID me to believe it could...but it did.

'Princess' style bedroom suite circa 1969.

First Christmas w/my Aunt & Uncle and they went all out!

This is close to the one I got...

...or it could be that most people around here just aren't that weird and those who might be just know better.

That moment when you realize your package is NOT, in fact, arriving today...

The same could be said for SO many recipes...like some NYT 'foodie' that's never set foot outside NY trying to tell me how to 'properly' cook collard greens and make a pan of 'southern' cornbread.

Please.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

I 'used' to include that I also don't need to see EVERY SINGLE STEP of the process, but one day I realized that not everyone knows what 'stir' means.

Oh my...YES!!!

AU GRATIN potatoes contain cheese...SCALLOPED potatoes do NOT (and regardless of whether your Great Aunt Mildred and Granny Ethel called that cheese-laden dish 'scalloped' or not...if it has cheese, it's au gratin).

I'll die on this hill.

As you were...😉
