Sunday Edition - October 5, 2025
Good morning Member
I hope your day is starting off warm and easy. Over my morning coffee, I found myself chuckling at the memory of what I thought was “cool” back in my teen years—strutting around in skinny jeans so tight I could hardly sit down, feeling like I was right on top of the world.
So here’s today’s question: What was considered “cool” clothing when you were a teenager? Share your stories in the forum—those fashion choices might make us chuckle now, but they were once the pride of our closets.
Now, let’s slip into today’s stories—handpicked to bring you a smile, a spark of curiosity, and maybe even a little nostalgia to carry you through this Sunday.
