    The new What Made You Smile Today thread

    Finally had a chance to try Moe's. This is a chain of Southwest fast food (kinda like a Mexican Subway). They've been here for a year or so, but this is the first time I was in one. Good prices, fast service, and their burritos are HUGE. Plus for anyone that enjoys a soda now and then, they...

    The New Am I The Only One Thread

    I loved Between The Lions, because I was in my 30's when it came on, and it was a kid's show a grown-up like me could watch all the way through and not feel out of place. Great writing from Christopher Cerf, Norman Stiles, and company. Since Jim's death, this and The Puzzle Place were the two...

    The Saddest thing that reminds you that you're old...

    Holy Crap,Batman! When I was little, staying up past 9:00 was taboo. Then, like you, as I got older, staying up to 10, 11, was neat, but it still felt like you were doing something risky. In 1979, when Saturday Night Live was on, (I was 10 or 11) we tried our hardest to stay up in hopes of...

    The Facepalm and/or Headdesk Thread

    Does Taylor Swift have a tramp stamp? That would tell a lot right there.

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    If they ever screw up an order like that again, you have every right to ask to see the manager. Usually if the staff screws up, the manager will try to make it right. You might get a free meal out of the deal. A good manager (and I've seen enough good and bad managers to know the difference)...

    Dealing with depression and anxiety

    No, when you're driving, your focus is on the road, not being entertainment for others. I've had to drive a few bandmates home when they were too drunk or stoned to get behind the wheel. My job is to get them home in one piece. If they still need entertainment, I could drop them off on the side...

    The New Am I The Only One Thread

    There was a time, around 2000, when I became a night owl because of my job. I'd work until 11 pm or midnight, come home, eat a big meal, and then fart around with this newfangled thing we had called the World Wide Web! Crank up that 56K modem, let Dial-up do its magic, and in the course of two...

    Pet Peeves

    If you feel that way about Kelly and Ryan, you'd REALLY hate when it was Regis and Kathy Me. Regis has always been a cranky old fart, but celebrities worship the ground he walks on. He has the distinction of spending more hours on television than anybody else. But he's still full of himself, and...

    The only way out of that scene for me, resenting my parents, having to live by their rules....required discipline. I wanted to drive as soon as I was physically/legally able to. You can drive a car? You can get a job. You get a job, you can have money in your pocket. You have money in your...

    The New Am I The Only One Thread

    Yeah, in my high school years, I thought I knew more than my parents (who doesn't go through this phase?), I thought if/when I ever have kids (never did, but helped raising our neighbor's kids), I'm never going to discipline them, because I'm not going to be the bad guy. It wasn't until I was...

    The New Am I The Only One Thread

    The worst thing my dad ever did to me, I said something stupid (I was about four) to somebody, my dad grabbed me by the ear and dragged me over to the person, and wouldn't let go until I apologized. You haven't lived until you almost get an ear pulled off. But back then, that was considered...

    The New Am I The Only One Thread

    There was a time when parents disciplined their kids. I was probably the last generation to be raised with the threat of Dad taking off his belt to whip you, little kids got spanked. If you threw a tantrum in public, or dared to talk back to your parents (let alone hit them), you were going to...

    Questions about anything

    Could be. Bodegas or tiendas are little grocery stores that do sell small quantities of staples- milk, eggs, meat, fruits and vegetables, etc. Usually Spanish-run. Their inventory is pretty small, since in Manhattan, most kitchens are very small. And because there are so many restaurants on...

    The Saddest thing that reminds you that you're old...

    I reiterate, MOST, not all. Either way, I still don't feel old. By the time you hit your mid-30's you're supposed to have a mid-life crisis. Guys (especially) doing things they did 20 years earlier, like hanging out at the mall trying to pick up chicks. I can look back on almost 50 years of...

    The Saddest thing that reminds you that you're old...

    I'm probably the oldest member on here. I'll be 50 next April. I'm the same age (if not older) than most of your parents. But..I...do...NOT...feel...OLD. Probably never will.

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    Exactly. 2006 was a banner year when YouTube first had these clips available for everyone to see. Before that, you were lucky if you had a friend to trade Noggin tapes with, or score them off eBay. Yes, as time went by, people started getting greedier in having unrealistic expectations of what...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    I remember things you posted way back when, and I for one thank you. Anything anybody has posted on YouTube, especially if I haven't seen it in a while, I've always been moved, and grateful for sharing their good fortune with others. And I never took that for granted, because you never know if...
