Do you think that person really has that many friends? Like, we can see about 60 cupcakes, so there’s about 120 cupcakes and then enough cake to feed another 20-30 people. I didn’t even have that many people at my wedding

Thanks @Figgy1

It's not the new 20 but it's better than the whole 30's debacle.

Serious question…what’s the difference between garbage and trash, as you seemed to make a distinction…?!
Also, as discussed before, if the property owner is paying for the refuse service through property taxes, you can bet most/or all of that expense is included somewhere in your rent rate.

The distinction between the two (back then), was that garbage included anything with food -- table scraps, bananna peels, or any other food being discarded. Trash was anything "dry" -- paper, boxes, glass jars, household items, etc. As I vaguely recall, I think it was the local board of health that finally put the end to backyard (In-ground) garbage cans (and I'm sure it also cut down the price of trash collection, to just have one all-inclusive, trash pickup each week).

Funny side note: There were raccoons in the town, and they'd often figure out how to push up the lid on those backyard garbage cans. My father had to actually put a few heavy bricks on top of the lid, so that the raccoons couldn't get into the garbage!
(Note to @King Racoon 77 -- I imagine you must be proud of your ancestors . . . )

I feel like these last couple years where all my friends have been hitting forty everyone has gone down to “I’ll just have a bite” and “who wants to split one with me?”

Like your forties is the decade where you pretend you can stay young if you only eat a little dessert. But then it doesn’t work, you hit menopause, and you get to enjoy life again after that

From a male perspective 40's rock.















But not too loud or too late.
