I'm so old I Remember when:

I remember when Sinclair Gasoline gave out wooden nickels.

That made me think of road trips which made me think of this old soft drink which was pretty good.

I was surprised to find out they still make it!

I haven't seen one in decades which is weird since there's a lot of cactus around here. I don't drink much soda so it could easily have just escaped my notice.

I don't know that I ever saw it here in New Jersey.

Gym is nothing but a class for tiny teeny petit non sporty girls to get teased and ridiculed by boy and taunted by the cool girls (upon which all have been sworn at much over the years).

Best thing ever the cool girls are fat and bleached grey hair and the guys fat and bald. Meanwhile I am still the same as I was 45 yrs ago!

Wow, it's totally different with our cool kids. They're CEOs, MDs, and university professors. One is a VP of a major car manufacturer, one is a news anchor, another is a successful artist and owns a big art gallery in San Francisco. I'm scared to look up any more of them!

Likely all lies!

Online one can become whomever one wishes to be!

I could be a bald fat middle aged gamer living in his mother’s basement, rather than an old lady who enjoys sitting on my lawnchair watching the chickens!

The wimps wouldn’t come out

No, they're the real deal. Medical practices and CEOs and news anchors and law firm partners and art galleries and university staff are easy to verify. Some of them weren't just cool kids, they were mean kids. Viciously mean kids. I hope they outgrew that.

I was neither of those but I was a smart kid. They were smart, too, so I was stuck with them for thirteen long years, from K-12.

There was a reunion a few years ago. I didn't go but I saw the photos. Some of the cool/mean kids were there. I wonder if they apologized to anyone? I doubt it but I like to hope they did.

I'm just a weird chicken lady now which is why I don't have much of a social media presence and I definitely don't attend reunions.
