So true. There have been some really great shows but nothing has come close to Purple Rain in pouring rain with Prince not even noticing

I see that hasn't changed. There was no parties when I was in middle school except for graduation. Valentines cards was something students in middle school or in high school that they did on their own.

I went to a Catholic school through elementary and then my first year of high school. Valentines were not necessary since the boy's and girls were in different buildings for fear of any 1st grade pregnancies, I presume. Then the High School (first year) was all boys school. I had to learn the ways of the world in only the three years left in public High School. It was a good three years, I must say!

My youngest daughter had a problem with OCD in her late teens and early twenties. I never knew anyone in my family that ever had that. Then I got old and found out that I must have had a inactive OCD gene because I now have to have everything in it place and cannot rest if it's not. I make the bed every single morning and I am the only one that is ever in my apartment without advanced notice. I kidded myself by telling myself that I was doing that as a test figuring if I got to the point that I didn't make that bed it was a sign that I really wasn't feeling physically well. Then I also realized that I think that I have had adult ADHD that I can now trace back through out my working career. I have had a range of occupations, none of which I was fired of laid off of. Once I got through my 4 years of, you don't have a choice, US Air Force I got a job as a manager of the Ben Franklin variety store, two years later I went to work for a weekly shopping paper which led to general manager and assistant publisher for a printing business (same shopping paper), tired of that and got a job as Office manager of a earth-moving construction company, followed by a job in payables and payroll for an actual East Coast building construction company. During that time span I also got a real estate sales license, a short term as a travel agent and bought and operated a Residential Care home dealing with physically and mentally challenged individuals and even just elderly. Then I tossed all that aside and went to work as a commercial bus driver which became a management position in that same company. Then I retired. It's the first thing that I haven't gotten bored with, yet.

I had wished I was more liquid in 2009 when a number of folks lost their homes/jobs. Condos were selling on the cheap when their values freefall like someone going down Summit Plummit at Blizzard Beach. A few in my area are selling and being bought currently at 5x more from what price paid during the recession. For a downfall there is a tremendous opportunity to buy low then later sell high.

Yea, we didn’t lose our home during that time. Our cars were already paid off, so no issue there either. I just worked as many as 3 retail jobs at a time (I just couldn’t bring myself to file for unemployment), with very few full days off. On one Black Friday, I worked 18.5 hrs. on my feet, with only 5 minutes to throw down half a Subway sandwich backstage before my closing shift at the Disney Store.
We recently sold that home for about 5.5 times what we bought it for in Feb. of ‘90, and moved about 11.5 miles further away from Austin.
The last several mayors and city councils in that city have, by far and away, been/are nutcases, and things are just getting worse.
Not the case out here, plus we live within walking distance of our oldest DD, SonIL, and two young granddaughters home, with a park in between us.
My commute to and from the office from the old place was 29.8 miles each day, and now it’s 52.8, but, we’re much more comfortable out here.

Day 3 since my parents have gotten home. No one has noticed that the TV in the basement is a different TV. It's even on right now displaying landscapes. I plan on bringing this up the next time they accuse me of being oblivious.

My brother went downstairs and finally noticed. 😂 Mom was like "I knew it looked weird but couldn't figure out why." Yes Mom, it's bigger. 😂
