Be a post whore! - Page 5

No, my mum washed my lunchbox every night. I think my lunch box smelled funky because the waxed paper allowed odors to co-mingle, giving me tuna salad sandwiches with apple-flavored bread. That, and there were no gel packs. There were no ziplock bags: It was either waxed paper or "sandwich" bags...Mind you, I'm talking about the 60's and 70's.

They fed us at the schools I went to. I'd give 5 dollars for one of those little rectangular pizzas right now!

One year while they remodeled our high school's cafeteria, Mcdonalds catered our lunches. The set up was really confusing and it was a few weeks before I figured out where I was supposed to pay for my awesome chef's salad (remember when they had those - why did they stop???).
It was always funny to run into D-Town alum years later - someone would always bring up the year of the free Mcdonalds.

Not sure where to put this, so "Be post whore" thread it is.

I just learned yesterday from SPIN magazine that Rashida Jones, who plays Karen in the US version of The Office, is the daughter of Quincy Jones.

I don't spend a lot of time following pop culture, but I'm surprised I hadn't heard of that before now. I never would have guessed it, but you can see the similarity.

We started getting SPIN sent to us accidentally around a month ago. Some guy is using his frequent flyer miles to order magazines, I think, but they have the wrong address for him. It's happened a couple times before. In the past we have called to cancel them, but I think we'll keep the free SPIN subscription. He can cancel if he wants.

They fed us at our school too. It was truly awful -I'd've given anything to be allowed to take packed lunches.

My school was a closed campus. You either brought your lunch or ate in the cafeteria.

Now, when I see HS students congregating at fast food places every day for lunch--it seems wrong. And not very nutritious. God forbid they should do something as uncool as bringing homemade food for lunch.

I hate tract houses! I'd rather live in a yurt.

Housing is TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE!

Nothing to do with the flu, though, but because people can't afford to light their homes what with old-fangled bulbs being outlawed. yurts by candlelight'll be all they can manage.
