Okay, I haven’t told this to anyone. Not the kids. Not Bestie. No one.

When I told Mike that Stan Lee had died, he had no idea who he was. I offered up “Excelsior” to help him; but alas, it confused him more.
When they told me at work it sounded like they said Stanley died. I looked totally puzzled, so they asked me if I knew who Stanley was and I said no, was he somebody’s dog? Then they said Stan Lee with an emphasis on the space between names and the light bulb went off. I didn’t know he was 95!

I would have assumed it was Stanley from The Office.

BTW - people are getting seriously bent out of shape over this. Which is kind of fitting since people get seriously bent out of shape about EVERYTHING these days.

Oh geez. :facepalm: It's just for fun. Every generation has done something or another that's worth a harmless chuckle over. I'm a Gen-X'er, and thanks to us, "Cowabunga" was a thing for years.:hilarious::rolleyes:

Though I will say this about the "Millennial" generation. As much as people like to poke fun at their heavy value in life experiences over an abundance of material possessions, part of me thinks they're spot-on in that thinking. Not saying people should be irresponsible and blow their $$$ on frequent vacations while neglecting to save for retirement and rainy day funds. There needs to be a healthy balance.

Back in the early 90's, my Grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. When it got too difficult and unsafe to have him living at home, he was housed at a very nice personal care center in Lawrenceville, GA. Great staff, great people, very close to where we lived so we could visit him daily. My Dad would visit with other tenants there, minister to them, just be friends with those who desperately needed one, etc. One thing my Dad heard over and over and over and over and over again from many people, was Regret.
Not: "I wish I had a bigger home when I was younger & working." Not: "I wish I had a bigger bank account or fancier car when I could drive."
What he heard so often from so many: "I wish I had DONE more when I could." Seen this, visited there, taken my family to (insert destination here). You name it. That has really stuck with my Dad to this very day, how when it comes down to our final months/days/minutes... what we really wish we had more of in life were experiences.

So in that regard, I can't blame the millennial mindset... as long as they are being responsible about it.

Just so I don't offend anyone's particular taste in board games. I HATE MONOPOLY, no matter what type one has. I have too active a case of ADD to sit that long in one place to play a game.

Well, I knew the name, but I couldn't have told you who he was, either.

In similar fashion, I sent DH the link to the video with Dolby: She Blinded Me with Science that someone posted the other day, and he thought I was referencing Ross and his "sound" on Friends. I was like....but...you are the 1980s music guy?? How do you not know She Blinded Me with Science??

My DS LOVES monopoly. Whenever he is home from school because he's sick, he wants to play Monopoly. And his strategy is basiclly "buy Boardwalk"....if anyone else lands on it, he wants to trade...it's the only thing on the board he really has to have.
