  • Yeah “promposals” started with the millennial generation, didn’t they? We didn’t have these back in my day either. Anyway the only person who ever “asked” me to prom was my brother’s friend …two years AFTER he’d graduated from our high school…then not another word was ever spoken about it. Never saw him again until 7 years later after I’d gotten out of the military and he was married to some Chinese lady. I bet he thinks I forgot that he ever fake-aaked me to prom. Nope, I remembered then & still remember 33 years later.







  • Yeah I learned how to type in high school in the year 1990. Since the existence of cell phones I have hardly touched a keyboard, maybe once a year when I pull out my laptop to do my taxes. But I was amazed when I learned how to type and amazed how quickly I became a high-speed touch typist and it is a thrill to me that it’s a skill I have because it was a little bit hard to learn at first but so proud that I got it and it feels like magic to be a touch typist!











  • Yup, that’s still a factor too. And hey, while we’re on the topic, some other task I was working on today made me review my yearly total net incomes, and the most I’ve ever earned in one year was $36,824, and that was in 2024. Which of course means I earned even less than that last year. I often wonder how the hell I’ve been surviving. And somehow I manage to live alone, self-sufficient & have no debts so that’s great 😃 See? It doesn’t matter how sexy & horny someone is if they’re poor & introverted & alone all the time 😭

    Interesting. I wonder what the etomological origin of that word is. Cuz whenever my husband gets me pregnant, I do not feel impervious to water or dust.

    And in Spanish it just means “question.”

    But if spanish-speaking person A hears person B say they’re “embarrassed,” A might think B is pregnant.
