I don't mean biggest regrets per se. I mean what were the things you spent the longest time doing, that ended up not being worth it? I'm curious, because I feel there are a lot of small things that will add up to my eventually feeling unfulfilled if I don't stave some of them off.

Anyone here struggle with your own chronic illness when your children were young? If your kids are now grown, how have they faired? Do they resent your limitations? Anything you would change looking back?

what weird things about life, or about your body (lol!) have happened, that you had no clue about before you got old?

I'll go first: so. many. skin. tags! 😳 🥴

nobody told me!

Particularly if you actively helped raise them as kids/teens etc. Are you close with them? Are you an active grandparent in their kids lives? Did they ever thank you for all you did for them? Did things ever come full circle?

Small Wonder was pretty bad. That theme song was catchy but cringy.

Charles in CHarge was horrible with Scott Baio and Willie Aames competing on who gets to be the most annoying.

As I get older, my definition of "fun" changes quite a bit! What are you all doing that consider to be fun?

Are their certain types of non-sexual physical affection that you used to like/dislike but your feelings have changed over time? Is there a type of platonic physical affection that you wish that you received more often now?

Knowing Mel Brooks and Dick Van Dyke are still around at their age is really surprising. Then again people live a lot longer these days. Olivia de Havilland made it to like 104

Where I grew up, early to mid seventies, the night before Halloween was known as Mischief Night. All of the teenagers would go out and do nuisance activities like egging, tp trees, etc. Growing up, did you have it and how did you participate?

For anyone who came of age in the 1950s; did you know anyone who would be considered a beatnik? How would you describe them? Was the way the media portrayed them (black turtlenecks, berets) accurate or was it more of a media stereotype?

I'm curious about the things you grew up believing were absolutely true, only to find out they aren't anymore. Whether it's fashion, technology, or social norms, what was a widely accepted idea back then that would surprise younger generations today?

At the time, have y’all thought that this young 12 year old kid who is blind and talented can play the harmonica like no other and happened to be a musical genius of your time, were you aware at the time or just thought he wasn’t gonna last long or become a novelty act?

I see so many people on this sub talk about traumatic childhoods, neglectful parents, abuse, etc.

How many of you had positive childhoods? Where you can look back and say yeah, I had a good childhood?

I haven’t smoked marijuana since 1982, I was in the state last night that had legalized marijuana and thought what the hell. Smoked a fatty, slept 12 hours and feel like I was 40 again!

What do you think your 20 year old version of you would think if they were time-travelled to today and saw/met/spoke with you as you are now?

My mom says no one on here will remember this song ?!? What songs do you remember that were forgotten??

I’m going to assume T-shirts weren’t really a thing yet

For me, I'm not buying anymore window cleaner or bar soap. I'm not buying any worcestershire sauce either.

It's often shown in older entertainment, and I didn't know if it was reality or a way to move a plotline.
