Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By icemann0: It's a Boomer thing. I have 8 brothers and sisters and this was us every other week. We had been in the emergency room so many times that they knew us all and my mom got handed the stitch removal kit as we left so we didn't have to come back. This was before child protective services got their nose under the tent or my parents would still be in jail. Everyone thinks their generation is special. Its not a boomer thing. It's not an x, millinieal, or zoomer thing either. It's a kid thing. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By R2point0: Apparently England has really great food, in almost all nationalities - except English. Exception being a full English Breakfast, though I can do without the black pudding. I would say fish & chips is a British thing. I don't even like seafood and the fish & chips I had in a tiny roadside town in Scotland is one of the best meals I've ever had. |

Are there millennials and zoomers who do stupid things and get hurt without their parents around? Of course. But it's not nearly as prevalent as it was. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By broken_reticle: Boomers got stitches, Gen X got Bactine and a chance to STFU or have dad scrub it out. LofuckingL!! Our medicine chest was stocked with bandaids, bactine, and A&D ointment. Bactine was this magical medicine that could heal all wounds. One time, after watching a movie where the bad guy busted the bottom off a bottle and threatened the good guy with it, I thought “self, you should try that!” So next day, down at the neighborhood pond, I picked up a bottle and smashed it against a rock, whereupon it immediately shattered in my hand. I walked a half mile home, blood dripping down my arm. Neighbors driving by stopped and asked if I needed help. “Nah, I live just up the street” Get home, dad’s in his lounger, enjoying a quiet Sunday. “Dad, I cut my hand up on a broken bottle!” “Well, wash it off, get the glass out, and try not to bleed on the carpet” Dad was a doctor. His main treatment was giving injuries a tincture of time. He subscribed to the philosophy that if the kid was crying and wailing, they were probably ok. It’s when they were quiet that he’d get concerned. |

She says she can say anything she wants to say! Go ahead and talk some smack to this man! He’s pressing charges because she damaged his flag but now she wants him to find it in his heart to not press charges because she’s a student. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By R2point0: Originally Posted By BobP: I went to England on company business, and my English co-workers asked me where I wanted to go to eat after work.

I could have had that meal anywhere in the US. For lunch, we went to a pub which served hamburgers with decent beer. I did have a really nice carvery/pub next to my hotel. That was at least somewhat non-American experience food. Exception being a full English Breakfast, though I can do without the black pudding. I got a big 'ol dollop of what I thought was chocolate pudding at a luau in Maui. The 1st mouthful was . . . memorable. Those who know, know. Yuck! |

Poi? I don't remember it being dark though. I didn't think it was bad. Just flavorless and kinda icky texture. But I also just sampled it, not shoved a spoonful in my mouth expecting something else.

Argentina flag on the outside German flag on the inside. A lot Germans moved to Argentina. Many right after the war including some not nice people.
Still more Italians by population between the wars. Something like 30 percent of the people now are of Italian descent. So I was told when I was there. |
