Fine-china-no-one-eats-off is a Greatest Generation thing that just barely soaked into Boomers. Although we had pewter dishes, which are loud, heavy, and terribly uncomfortable to eat off of and were only used once and now we all have heavy metal poisoning.

I'm 36 and we all grew up with constant exposure to lead. Maybe that is why I am so dumb but a lot of people I know seem to be OK.

Any stats on whether Chipotle has a higher food poisoning per sale ratio than other fast food? They make the news all the time but it's like... "eight people had a sore tummy for a day after eating Chipotle", and I can't imagine your typical drive-thru restaurant has better cleaning practices.

GWM and BWM? My grandfather was GWM. He was a mathmatics major, principal of school and a farmer. He took care of his equipment, saved, and was very frugal. He was well regarded and was an adviser on a few company boards. He lived during the great depression. Survived WW2 by training airmen to build and use radios. He wasn't very fond of risk and focused mainly on buying land that could be leased and farmed. He was often approached by business owners looking for loans and angel money. These were not shady deals mind you, but entrepreneurs and business owners looking for a small business loans to pool with the money they had saved during and after the war. In the late 1950's he was approached by a relative and another man. I don't know the exact number but my grandmother believed they were looking for around $10,000 to help their small company stay afloat. He thought it was too risky and said no. GWM? The company they were trying to keep going was Medtronic. Hindsight is 20/20 but is still hurts.

sunday at work posted:China was a thing a generation or two before Boomers, back before you could get decent house wears at any department store for cheap. You put your fancy plates on display to show off, even back then you didn't eat off them except maybe for special ocasions. Most Boomers had China passed to them or got it for no other reason that it was what you were supposed to do. Lol fine China dinnerware has been a thing for 300+ years, trust me our grandparents did not invent the idea of having a display cabinet full of expensive positional good porcelain dinnerware, much like they didn't invent the idea of having a superfluous formal dining room in their house to store it in.

Hoodwinker posted:It seems to be something that's more pertinent the lower on the socio-economic ladder you get: when you don't have a lot, the least you can maintain is your pride/dignity, and that means having things that demonstrate your relative wealth. My experience with this is anecdotal based on my wife and wife's family. This is how it was for my wife's parents, who came here from Mexico. Her dad's family treated her mom pretty badly because her mom's side of the family was dirt poor. Not surprisingly she can be pretty consciencious about how others perceive her family.

Here in the PNW avocadoes are never less than like $1.5 per, even for the smallest ones. And often $2.99 or so. I was pretty floored when I walked in to a walmart in Florida and you could get a five lb bag for like four bux.

Anyone heard of a company called StockCharts.com? They advertise on the radio during baseball games constantly and claim to be an option if your financial advisor is no longer hitting it out of the park.Krispy Wafer posted:Fine-china-no-one-eats-off is a Greatest Generation thing that just barely soaked into Boomers. For our wedding some older in laws insisted they set up a tea/coffee station using their silver set during the reception. It was a minor thing and seemed to work ok but seemed kinda random. Possibly a Swedish thing?

Hyrax Attack! posted:Anyone heard of a company called StockCharts.com? They advertise on the radio during baseball games constantly and claim to be an option if your financial advisor is no longer hitting it out of the park. Their target market is "technical analysts," who are day traders that think they can learn everything they need to know about a stock by looking at price and volume charts. Think the stock market equivalent of guys in Vegas who have a "perfect system." The company is legitimate and provide exactly what you'd think: a bunch of pretty, customizable stock charts behind a subscription service. But, like the guy selling shovels in a gold rush, they tend to encourage BWM decisions because it's good for their own business.
