One was a machinist for Lever Brothers (now Unilever). Was Signal Corps in WWII stationed domestically and in the Panama Canal Zone.

Other one (biological) no idea. Actual one (mom’s stepfather) primarily worked in security.

At least 3-4 if not more members of my graduating class did tours in Iraq. Who knows how many more after us.

I was a senior in high school. We didn’t know what happened until our 2nd period teacher got a note and read it to us.

One of the first two combat deaths a month later was an alum of my high school and I was interviewed on the local news as I was waiting outside my school for my ride home.

Wolf Trap tickets acquired. That was the least bad experience I’ve ever had with their website.

I am loving the advocacy of Flavor Flav for women’s sports. He said he wanted to celebrate the women’s hockey team as they deserve and offered to host them in Vegas. Within a couple hours, ResortsWorld offered rooms, Alaska Air offered to cover flights and Stubhub is covering show tickets.

DUIs too. A lot of people find out the hard way when trying to board Alaska cruises starting or stopping in Canada.

Also can anyone park normally at Chick Armstrong? There is ALWAYS someone parked in two spaces any time I ever go there and that parking lot is nightmare fuel enough.

Can we get a punch card for voting in Alexandria this year? It’s February 21st and I’ve voted 4 times already. We all deserve tacos or pizza after this.

four years ago, figure skating looked like a sport where the way to win was by driving literal children to the point of mental breakdown

with Alysa Liu's win, it looks like a sport where the way to win is giving your talented skaters agency, the freedom to be themselves, and letting them find joy

Got a measles titer last year and getting my mumps and rubella titers today. Infuriating that we have to do this in 2026 but it’s an easy blood test to find out if you need a booster.

I know Kenny Albert is the top hockey announcer, but as someone who doesn’t watch the NHL, all I think about when I hear his voice on a call is, damn, it’s barely November and the New York Giants are already out of playoff contention.

My husband asked me how many of the 12 films I own copies of and amazingly, it's only 2. I can probably recite half of them from memory though.

Just Images Television Listings of the 90s 2 may be the easiest one day (for me) that I've ever played on @learnedleague.com

That's what happens when you're a latchkey kid with cable in the 90s.
