Scrunchies...I know! I have seen so many girls wearing them this year. The boys seem to want to wear them around their wrists too. So weird. All I can think about when I see the scrunchies is the episode of S$X in the City when Carrie reads her boyfriends novel and has the female character running around in a scrunchie in NYC and she freaks out about it.

I loved scrunchies and banana clips in the 80s . Does anyone else remember the clips? They went up your head so your hair was in a sort of cascading ponytail which made the hair longer than a normal pony.

I remember when the recommended oil change interval was 3 months or 3,000 miles. Now, it seems to vary between 5,000-10,000 miles.
Synthetics...!!!

My GM dealers says 7K

My sister and I used banana clips a lot. I’m very bad at doing hair, especially my own so these helped out a lot and made me feel fancy.

Are kids using it as an insult? I know he likes the girl in question. But yeah, I don’t want her feelings hurt.

I have metal straws on my Starbucks cups, but i drink them while sitting down.

I actually have no idea. I can ask.

I googled it last night and asked T about it again this morning. He says that’s what he wants to be for Halloween next year.

When did scrunchies come back in fashion, and how did I not know about it??? Lol

Scrunchies are the new thing this school year apparently. My kids have worn them because of cheer and gymnastics. I have overheard some moms who have kids in middle school. They say that boys wear them on their wrists to show they have a girlfriend. The girls were apparently giving them to the boys. They would have an armful of them. Then there were problems with them ising them like slingshots and they would go flying around the classrooms. Anyway the schools here actually banned them because of this. Scrunchies banned! Can you believe it?

How do 4th graders know about this??? That’s what I don’t understand.

One of the many naive positions of a parent. Our children know a whole lot more than we even want to imagine, about everything. At least they think they do, mostly misinformation, but embedded none the less.
The thing is that we did the same thing. Heard stuff, labeled people and pre-adolescent boys acted like females were cootie laden things to be avoided at all costs.

It was 31 here this morning at around 6 AM. Nice! (But I do realize that many people don't like the cold like I do.)

3 games today- 2 wins, 1 loss. Can’t say I’m sad about the end to his school team's season.. The two outdoor games were FREEZING!!! My ears hurt it’s so cold.

3 more games tomorrow, 1 indoor in the morning, 2 outdoor in the afternoon.. also the end to his club’s outdoor season. We’re having a party directly after the last game. Looking forward to it.. although we’re all still playing on Futsal and Indoor teams together, including the coach, all winter.lol.. But hey, still have to celebrate the end of a season.

It's official we are going to WDW in March. Just bought the flights tonight. EEK! I had to do two separate transactions though, we both had a voucher on Delta and it wouldn't let me use both to buy both of our tickets in one transaction. It didn't make me mad to do the two transactions it was just a little weird.
