Many years ago, I had a medical emergency and spent several days in the hospital. The day I was to come home, my daughter pulled out clean clothes, underwear etc. and left in a stack for Dad to take to the hospital. He missed this and dug through the hamper for a pair of sweats and underwear, that had been mixed in with his (blue collar) work clothes. Needless to say, they reeked to high heaven, I was so embarrassed. I asked why he didn’t grab clean clothes, he didn’t know where anything was. Never mind the stack my daughter left…
I graduated high school in 1968, I still have the results of aptitude test they gave us. As a man the fields I should look into were engineering and a couple of other high paying ‘male’ careers, but as a female, it said Sunday school teacher or interior decorator, for the same test results. Both my girls got their masters in male dominated fields.
Back in the ’70s I lived in California and the Burbank Fire Department got new fire trucks and new logos etc. And just like LA is used in place of Los Angeles, they also shortened the name to the initials. Should have asked one teen boy… Of course, they did a new paint job, but to this day, I will say Burbank Fire Department in certain situations.
Me too! Had one for years now.
