In completely different news. I'm still angry at Microsoft and their moronic automatic patches in Windows 10.
Its the 4th time they have released a big patch that hasnt been tested thoroughly . This patch was very bad because many people reported huge data loss (as in files erased).

In my case, this POS started to corrupt my Windows installation and after a BSOD 3 days ago. I cant run many apps, which means NET FRAMEWORK or other critical part got borked.. and not a single one of the self repair tools work. So I bet the repair installation wont either. So I'm going to do a full reinstallation.

<--- this man is not amused.

That stinks. Sadly there is no recourse. I won't install the new iphone update on my phone because I heard that it has glitches.

I guess the school didn't have a parking lot? I think I would have ridden a school bus if I knew my car would get damaged by hooligans. If you went to an all girl school, what football games did you go to? Was it the local high school, or was there an all boys school that was affiliated with yours?

One of my friends lost 2 car batteries at school and at the time a public bus would have been less safe

Sometimes I still miss Blackberry. I remember when they first came out and how excited I was.. then years later I remember camping out (at the mall) for the first iPhone. I couldn’t part with my blackberry due to work.. so for a few years I had both.. then eventually Apple took over corporate world and RIM never recovered, so I parted with a Blackberry.. iPhone has never had something as cool as BBM and Brickbreaker though!

Wow, I’m old.

My dh misses using his Blackberry. He still says it was the best cell phone ever. He didn't need it for work like you, he just liked that it had an actual keyboard.

Oh, no....your parents weren't that strict then. My curfew was "when it starts to get dark, you need to be home." Which, in the winter was 5:00pm. I was allowed to be at school activities like play practice, or a basketball game, but I had to be home as soon as it was over. My mom could see the parking lot of the school from home, so once the cars started leaving the parking lot, I had about 5 minutes to call her to pick me up, and once I could drive, I had to be home within 10 minutes. I was allowed to go out with my brother to the movies, but I wasn't allowed to go anywhere by myself. When I was 16 or 17, my best friend and I used to meet in the middle of our street and go for a walk. My brother's best friend called him and asked him to come over...it was like 7 and it would get dark around 9. So my brother walks out the door to go to his friend's house. As he's walking out the door, my best friend calls to ask if I want to go for a walk. I go to get my jacket and my mom says "Where do you think you're going? It's going to start getting dark soon. You can call her back and tell her you're not going anywhere.
The summer after my sophomore year of high school, I was selected to go to an academic program for 3 weeks at the University of Wyoming. The first night there, they were going over the rules and we had to be back inside at 10pm....I had never been out that late before, so I stayed out till 10 just because I could. It was more freedom than I had ever had.
When I was 17, she told me I was allowed to go out in groups that included boys, as long as it wasn't the same boys every time." My junior prom, we went dress shopping and the lady at the store was asking about my "boyfriend" and my mom made it very clear there was NO boyfriend...or there'd BETTER not be. Anytime anyone ever asked me if I had a boyfriend, my mom would say "She better not have!" before I could answer.
When I was a senior in high school (18) there was a dance and I asked if I could PLEASE wear makeup to the dance...I normally wasn't allowed to wear makeup. Mom said I could wear a little bit. So I put on some eyeliner....that was it. JUST eyeliner. I go to leave and my mom says "Don't you think you're wearing a bit too much makeup?" I said "nope!" and I walked out the door before she could make me go take it off.
When I got an A- in History, my mom told me I had to quit all my extra-curriculars until my grade was "back up where it belonged". I did manage to talk her into waiting until the next quarter since that would be the next time she'd see the grade anyway....to let me try to get it back up while I was still doing speech and debate, student council, etc..and if I COULDN'T then I would have to quit everything. I got it back up to an A, so I didn't have to quit, but most parents would never have been upset about an A-.

My mom was even more strict than my LDS friends' parents and they were known for having high expectations for their children. My mom was unreasonably strict.

Seriously I do not think I could have lived your life as a teen. I would have been a teenage runaway.

“I’m the only kid who doesn’t ...”
And
“______ is my passion.”
And
“_______ is not my passion.”

are lines that are used by my child almost daily now. :hilarious:


I’m from pre internet days as well. I think you and I (and anyone else) in that generation are quite lucky. I wouldn’t change my childhood. A time before play dates and tablets and a million emails per day. Just ride your bike to a friends house and be home when the street lights come on. :)

Pre-internet era was the best. I remember riding my Big Wheel when I was 4 or 5 around the block without supervision. I wouldn't have dared let any of my kids do that today.

How did you survive? I think anyone else would have required psychotherapy with that childhood.
