My senior English class was given their assignments a week later. I was assigned the Challenge Tragedy. One week after the tragedy. We didn't even have all of the facts for many weeks after and I was expected to do a research paper on it for 90% of my grade.

Sorry but we absolutely stopped the school day and watched it by satellite.

I was a senior in highschool. We watched it live on television shortly after the 9am class started. I was in Senior English. It was startling and the adult response was to offer this as one of the Senior Research paper "opportunities" a week later. No therapy fixed it.

I'm sorry. AARP is calling.

My local radio station keeps talking about which Val Kilmer movie to watch. This isn't on anyone's list! This was my favorite, followed by Top Secret, then Willow.

Those are beautiful songs and my 26 year old daughter would fully understand why I was (and have been) crying.

Bill Burr's aging journey mirrors my own. Who else in GenX is realizing that you're walking around with suppressed feelings that you need to deal with? Getting past the judgement heaped on me for having feelings is a challenge.

I've never looked into him. I just googled him. I'm roughly 3 months older than him!

I have 3 pill minders: morning, afternoon, and bedtime. I've been filling them with 2 weeks' worth at a time, but I'm thinking that since I just retired, I can probably just do 1 week at a time and get a morning/night one and a single row afternoon one. I didn't know I'd have to adjust *that* at retirement!

If you’re a parent, and your child has a phone, do you track them to check up on where they are?

I hope my 26 year old daughter's 27 year old wife is keeping tabs on her.

You're right. I shouldn't have, but I'm a federal employee who's just sick of everything these days.

Hey! I married my hubby because his family was "rich"! My family has a C64 and his had a C128! Boy was I surprised that that's not a good indicator. (Fwiw, he's a wonderful, loving person. Just not rich.)

You spelled Conservatives oddly.

Should this forum limit the number of daily/weekly/monthly/yearly Breakfast Club posts that are on allowed here?

But if we only have BC posts once a week, we're opening up ourselves to forget about them. The movie will be forced to sing Don't You Forget About Me!

Hubby and I saw this on a jukebox yeeeeears ago. The artists were mislabeled as Was Was Not. I said, "Ugh! It's Was Not Was not Was Was Not!". One of the brothers Was was Don but I don't remember the other Was Brother.
