I missed the days where we are not using brand names to replace household item names.

[tom_mai78101]

For example, q-tips. This is a brand name for cotton swabs.

I missed the old terms we normally use in homes.

Its your decision how you want to call things. If you dont like to use brand names then dont use them. But you can not force your opinion onto others.

lol @Tom... get over it!

I know I can't force it upon others, I am just stating that I missed them.

Dont look back to the past, look forward to the future instead.
It wont help you to sulk about every change in life.
If you dont like it then fight it, or learn to deal with it.

 

[tom_mai78101]

Ugh, my future is bleak from all that preparations for the GRE tests, and more preparations for enrolling in a graduate class.

Then find a better future.

If life gives you lemons -> get a better life.

Ha! I wish.

 

[Accname]

Well, apparently you are not wishing hard enough.

 

[tom_mai78101]

Well, apparently you are not wishing hard enough.

I TRULY WISH.

Hard enough?

 

[Sim]

I wasn't even born that people in my family were calling stuff like Kleenex (tissue) and Q-tips around.

And I doubt you're older than me so... what are you missing exactly?

 

[Zakyath]

do you miss them, or did you miss them?

 

[thewrongvine]

I call them Q-tips.

If you wish as hard as the font size of your text indicates then you are probably able tochange something about it if you only get up from your lazy behind and start working towards a better future.

He doesn't have the genie, no wishes for him.

 

[tom_mai78101]

I do know for sure genies can "see", because they have the "eyes." But they can't grant wishes that have adverse effects lasting 10 years.

(The word "genie" has a letter, 'i', in it.)

My past looks bleak. My future is unforeseeable. Whatever, I'm writing it all down in my GDNet blog.

Right! LOL But.. At first, Tom need a "Genie Golden Lamp" for the genie to appear.!? Just saying.

Well, he's Asian.
