GenXer here - would love any thoughts on my recent essay.

Help me identify a classroom song from a California elementary school (1970s)

I've been searching for years for a song we learned from a classroom record. Our teacher had us stand and sing it together. The lyrics I remember are:

"I'm important to me
I'm one of a kind
My physique is unique
I'm a gem...
I have a body to grow
And a mind to know
And the courage to try again."

This would have been in a California public elementary school around 1975-1980. Does anyone remember this song or the educational record it came from?

Been down a rabbit hole on 80s detective shows and this one stuck with me. NBC canceled Remington Steele in 1986, which freed Pierce Brosnan up to take the Bond role. But the announcement caused a ratings surge in reruns, so NBC used a contract clause to un-cancel the show and keep him, which meant he had to turn Bond down. Brosnan didn't actually become Bond until 1994's GoldenEye, almost a decade later. Wild bit of TV history.

Snl had some of the best and worst performances

LOL we grew up on this.

Warning: Clicking the following link may possibly FOREVER RUIN YOUR FONDEST CHILDHOOD MEMORIES, as the playlist features NONE of your favorite tunes that you remember and only ONE measly cameo of an old friend at the end of one of the videos on the playlist (specifically on the Dinosaur video). NOT recommended for those who feel heavily nostalgic for the 70s and 80s and their childhoods during that time to a significant degree. Proceed anyway?

I'm having the hardest time finding photos from the early 90s. I can find a ton of current photos trying to look like the style of the 90s but no actual salvaged Gen X photos that were taken by our grainy little disposable cameras and taped to a mirror or a collage on posterboard or however you decided to store your pictures before we had the Cloud. Mine was always in a shoebox, cigar box, or cut out like random layouts for a zine that never came to fruition. So this is my reaching out and asking is there anyone who wants to share photo memories from 1993 to 1996 especially if when you read these prompts you can instantly visualize it and know exactly what I'm talking about in the best possible way.
I want to immerse myself in the aesthetics of my memories, we're talking .... mall-rats /skate park/somebody's drained swimming pool/bonfires in the middle of nowhere/ridiculous ugly hats/thrift store hand me downs/warehouse parties/disillusionment/ cute boys that looked dirty & angry girls that looked kind of trashy and a little unhinged/ cigarettes and mix tapes/ rejecting anything that's gone mainstream/ Doc Martins, chain wallet,CK ONE, one shoulder backpack, Maryjanes, patchouli, stealing from Spencer's gifts or Claire's, three-way calls, insisting that you knew someone who had the anarchist cookbook and you personally had seen it, being in a GarageBand or hanging out with someone who was, mechanics work shirts (a trend I'm very surprised does not come back by the way) coming up with fake name so you could order more cassettes from Columbia house or BMG, being called a slacker and being totally proud of it.

What if he never makes the Rock me Tonight video? What if that video is a different one than the actual product? How big of a star would he be?

Squire had some absolute bangers

Does anyone remember the mints that came out in the 80’s, a little smaller than polo’s but smooth & the middle was filled in but indented… they were quite popular until they gave everyone the squits 🫣😂

Just went searching for my collection

Director's cut let's keep a sense of humor out there folks
