kurtsh<p>"...It was pulled by 1967—but some people who got it are still around today."</p><p>Hey <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EdCara" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EdCara</span></a> you Millennial jackass, that's only 57-58 years old.

It’s not ever going to be upsetting. Life is just a journey, like walking around a museum with little rooms full of activities. This room is “watching the world fall apart” and across the hall is “enough rain to flood your basement” and so, life is just touring this museum. LOL. It’s not worth getting wound up over. But thanks for caring. :)</p>
