I had to take high school algebra four times. Once for myself, three times to help my daughters with their homework.
They also had George's Pizza (I just checked and it's still there)
Starbucks was your local ice cream & burger joint that it seems every small Iowa town has. Half the price of DQ and much much better.
While I never had it, they had a sandwich called "The Hungry Man" Two hamburger patties that were breaded and deep fried. I was never that brave but most people said it was really good.

Despite the username, I never think of you as old. I get fooled by the avatar, even though it's a gladiator.
I'm just glad my boys made it through elementary before they started talking about "friendly" numbers. I hear a lot of complaints from them about helping THEIR kids with math, and not understanding what they're supposed to be learning - and one of them married an elem ed major. Better them than me.
I've met him IRL - I think he's closer in age to you than to me.
Well that's still old lol. 56. Gonna have to have CG teach me cross stitch.

@oldman Either carvers didn't understand my innuendo or she is winking at you when she disliked this post of mine.
@cowgirl836 I feel like that tugboat post might be the top of your peak. Everything else is going to be downhill from now on.
Crazy day today. Took the day off, but went to bed at 3:00am last night finishing up some things. Wife calls me at 6:00am saying her car died at the gas station in our neighborhood. Drove there and she dropped me back home and took my car to work. Since I could not find the jump starter, I assumed it was already packed with the rest of the stuff for our move, so I had to call roadside assistance. Either way, from her description it sounded more like an issue with the starter.
Unfortunately, I needed to be with the vehicle when they came to tow it, so I had a friend of ours come pick me and the kids up and go to the gas station. My friend had jumper cables, so we gave that a shot and it worked, so the issue was the battery. Took the car to O'Reilly's to get a new battery, but they would not install it because it was storming so I just bought it and took it home. Put the baby to sleep, made lunch for my older son and took an hour nap. Woke up and changed the battery, since it stopped raining momentarily.
My boss started blowing up my phone, so I called him back and realized that I dropped the ball on an activity for work. Spent the next hour and a half straightening that out. This day has sucked big time. So much for a vacation day.

The way I pondered it, either:
1. You were insulting slide rules.
2. You were insulting oldman's man.
Either way, booooo!
By the way, looked in the trunk compartment after changing the battery and guess what I found: our jump starter pack. FML
You should probably catch up on today's society.
