Well it's almost 1 here, and I have to be up at an undecided time tomorrow (which means it's earlier than I'd like), so I'm heading out. Good night!

I didn't like spending money as a high schooler either. I didn't get a class ring (most people don't where I live), I got a yearbook only because my wonderful parents paid for them, and I never had a true graduation party. My parents asked if I wanted a party, or if I would rather take a trip to WDW. Of course I chose WDW, so that was my present/party. We did have a family get together for my cousin and I who were both graduating the same year - he didn't have a party, either.

What do you mean by Senior Week? The closest thing I can think of that would relate to that would be Homecoming Week where there was a theme for each day that the entire school could participate in (dress up, etc). Every year there would be a pajama/toga day. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors did pajamas, and seniors did togas.

Yeah, my mom wanted a party, I didn't, my dad sided with me. My parents offered to pay for half of the yearbook. It still would have been $45. I also didn't want to spend the money on a class ring, especially since I can't stand rings. Most people got a class ring and a yearbook. We also had a family get together, along with a small joint celebration for me and Bestie. And then the trip to Disneyland, which was my request. I was much happier with that and the solo trip with Bestie to WDW than I would have been with a party. I HATE parties. Too many people.

Senior week, at least here, is the week after classes are done but before Prom and graduation. A lot of the kids take groups and go to Ocean City, Virginia Beach, Hershey, camping, or otherwise. Except for Bestie, all of my friends are older than me, hence destroying the point. Plus...money.

I forgot the good news of the day...Bestie's family has some extra days on their timeshare, so they might be coming down to WDW for a few days while we're there in August. Getting to go to WDW with my bff twice in one year...SCORE! We can go have fun, act crazy, get hit on...

And I'm off to bed. Night.

The only problem with group dating is that all of my friends are from my religious group, and there just aren't young guys within our age group in this general area (and yes, I'd want to stay within my religious group). My one friend doesn't even want to date. Bestie doesn't either. I (reluctantly) go to get-togethers where young people from the same religion but different congregations also go, but none of them have really turned my interest. Hey, I'm only 19; I've got time.

Yes, you have plenty of time. There's no deadline here. I've found (based upon my own past experiences) that some nice guy will enter your world, when it's least expected. You have your whole life ahead of you. Enjoy! :)

What is up with these dual advertising commercials? Just saw another one which was for both Subway and
Maleficent.

Actually, "synergy" in advertising was created some years ago. Marketing and sales geeks love this stuff. A friend of ours is a very successful salesman. I recall about 8 years ago, we were at a restaurant for dinner, and the menu was huge. The reason was that, mixed in with the food listings, were ads for completely unrelated products and services. The ads drove me nuts (as all I wanted to do was find all the dishes with bacon in them :hungry:), but he just loved the marketing. He then explained to us the whole concept.

Oy.

I suspect the merchant chose this mannequin for shock value. They'll do anything to catch the attention of customers.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - unless you are an Olympic swimmer or an Olympic diver - YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS WEARING A SPEEDO.

Capes, however, aren't just for Superheroes anymore.

Even THEY don't wear then anymore - they wear those paper thin aerodynamic suits. I was surprised @Gabe1 said they wore them at lifeguard trials - I was hoping they were becoming extinct.

Do they prescribe medicine as a side job? Otherwise getting that PhD is a waste.

My sister has a doctorate in psychology. She is a school psychologist. She was observing a kid on the playground yesterday and a kindergartener came over and started a conversation and asked my sister's name. So she replied Dr. [name]. So the kid said, "you're a doctor?". So my sister said not a doctor that gives shots or helps you when you are sick, but a doctor that helps heal hurt feelings. So the kid replied, "they you're not REALLY a doctor". So my sister just said "I guess not".

Oh my.
Happily that propaganda never made it north of the border.

Funny thing though, not too many chunky kids in the 60's. People were better eaters and naturally more active back then.

I, definitely, hear that last paragraph.
Both my folks were raised on farms in south-central Texas. Everything they ate they raised and processed themselves. Raised their own livestock, churned their own butter, raised their own chickens for eggs and soup, etc. Nothing had additives or preservatives in it and everything they ate was slathered in butter and full of grease. But, they worked it all off during the day. It was nothin' but pure energy for the burnin', and none of them were EVER even close to overweight back in those days.
Similar when I was a kid. We ate mostly home cooked meals that were packed with energy and burned it all off during the day at recess, in PE, ridin' our bikes all over the place, playin' sports, etc., and we slept like logs at night. :)

I don't think that was me, unless I was sleep posting.

To me swag is Justin Bieber's image.

Just picture this is Justin Bieber's voice: Swag.
*Justin winks, flips his hair, and according to Twitter then says something racist*

I wasn't aware there was a website for Rent-a-Swag until it was posted here. So it wasn't me.
