My friend, Eve, recommended I join this site! I used to write about classic Hollywood; now I’m one of the thousands of maligned millennials who crawled back to college to get a second degree. I feel old at school now, a thirty something among teenagers. Is anyone else already nostalgic for the 90s? I mean, back then if you got to class early people actually deigned to talk to each other. Now they’re glued to their phones! I hate technology and yet I rely on it. What a hypocrite! Thank you for reading this rambling rant.
Welcome!
Hiya! Nice to have you here.
Welcome! Any friend of Eve’s yadda yadda yadda… 
Hi.
Hi there, Cindycat! I was just hanging out with a high school classmate I hadn’t seen in years. She was complaining about feeling old and I could identify. We’ve yet to see thirty-five. It feels weird when you look at a co-worker and think “I’ve been drinking legally since before you were in first grade.”
I say that you should enjoy anything you can, so you might as well lean into it! I look forward to all the weirdness the future holds!
Oh, and don’t mind the goat…
Welcome, Cindycat! May it help you to feel young to hang out with those of us who’d love to be in our thirties again! How cool that you wrote about classic Hollywood! You should find a lot of kindred spirits here, especially in Cafe Society.
Hi there
Eve was before my join date. But then she came back!
And then she left again. 
Welcome!
Welcome aboard, Cindycat! Hope you enjoy the time you [del]waste[/del] spend here as much as we do!
And please give our regards to Eve, and let her know how much we all miss her.
ETA: (Lots.)
Welcome, welcome! Please ignore the windstorm outside. This place is sufficiently-well bolted down. I think.
Would you like some ice cream?
Cindycat, please tell Eve, when you see her, that I still have and treasure my copy of the biography of John Gilbert that she autographed for me. Also, Friday and Saturday was this years Kansas Silent Film Festival, and I thought of her.
Welcome, and as already has been said, do not mind the goat.
I am always up for ice cream ha ha! 
I will let her know! The Kansas Silent film festival sounds fun. There’s one near me in San Francisco that I have yet to go to. I wonder if they screen any Harold Lloyd flicks? He was my favorite funny man!
I do not think they had any Lloyd this year but there have been many in past years. I like him, but I prefer Buster Keaton even more, and Charley Chase is great too.
2019 festival program:
Welcome to our playground!
Ah, feeling old - I’ve got a post-retirement job and in my group, at least 5 coworkers are young enough to be my grandkids, and the rest, including my boss, are around my daughter’s age. They’re bright enough professionally, but lacking in other, odd ways.
For example, I used the phrase “funnily enough” and I got perplexed looks in return. My office mate immediately googled to make sure I wasn’t making something up. Kids these days…
Regardless, we are a fun group, and count me as another who misses Eve.
You do realize that we’re not here in real life, right? My point is, analog ice cream=yummy, digital ice cream=well, less than yummy. I tried some “Mintish Chocko-Chip” that kaylasdad brought to a Cafe Society discussion, and had to down twelve Virtual S’mores before I could taste anything again.
Welcome. Don’t let anyone here get your goat! [wiggling my eyebrows, so you know that I know what everyone knows what I did there]
What’s new, Cindycat? Whooooa, whoa , whoooooooaooooa.
Cindycat, cindycat, I’ve got flowers
And…
Wait a minute: You work for The Syndicate; clever user-name.
I’m a crazy cat lady who does not currently have a cat! Nice to meet you and thanks for getting that song stuck in my head ha ha!
^ It’s my one job, here.
