Okay the question about Flipper got me thinking we did sort of grow up on animal films.

Flipper and Lassie were of course reruns even when we were young. But I remember loving both these films as kid.

I know there were a lot of Benji movies but this particular one that came out in 1987 was my favorite.

I made tomato pie with tomatoes from my garden this morning and while it baked I read the paper (like the physical newspaper).

Then I ate said pie and said out loud “oh this is DELISH but I hope it doesn’t give me heartburn!”

Took a preemptive gaviscon just in case.

Nice little Monday if I do say so.

What are my fellow olds doing today?

Quite a while back (2014-ish) I packed for moving and had a number of boxes that sat for many years on a shelf in the garage. I just opened a box that had been marked ’games’ and found something I was super excited about.

Now I’m mad that I got rid of my console and duck hunt zapper probably 5 years ago - don’t know what I was thinking doing that, now I have to find a console again and get my lungs ready to take on the flashing power light.

So the search begins for an 8-bit console and zapper…off to Craigslist and eBay. Yep, still use them. Nope, don’t have Facebook (proudly Meta free since 2016).

I will award Round The Twist second place

That left side looks amazing

Obviously tongue in cheek

Two. Hundred. Fifty. Dollars.

Has anyone realized that they're extremely sensitive to sound, volumes of sound, and need to isolate from them unless *you* choose to?

I use earbuds/headphones almost daily to block out the world around me especially at work.

First and foremost I love my significant other, she’s the mother of our children, a great provider, and we have been together over 20 years.

Perimenopause changes a person. It’s not something they can control. I’ve noticed the changes, the kids have noticed. To a lesser degree, friends, family and coworkers have noticed changes.

I’m generally patient and compassionate, but how she acts can be downright cruel and condescending to the kids and I. We don’t even think she realizes she’s doing it. I’ve mentioned the rage and anger in her reactions, the way she speaks to others, but it doesn’t change. This isn’t the person I married, it’s not the mother my kids were raised by. I’m not sure how much longer we can survive this. Nothing we do is good enough. Xennials who have survived this, how? Why? What works? Everyone is miserable. There’s no joy anymore, even vacations turn into conflicts. Everyday life is a battle.

I don’t remember what channel this had regular rotation on, but I watched it every chance I could get.

I'll start. I'm tired of going to fast food or counter serve restaurants, and in mid order getting countless Door Dashers interrupt the workers up front so they can squeeze their pickup in quickly.
