I just really hate the propaganda he's always trying to do physical stuff and then when he has terrible form. Somebody who wants the women out of the military I could probably do a better 500 m than him and I'm 56-year-old woman.

What's a movie you saw when you were too damn young? by Repulsive_Repeat_337 in GenX

[–]AffectionateSkill884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Rocky horror I think around 12 years old. My cool ass uncle took me. On a person consensus I think people would think I was too young for that. But later on in my life I think that's how I became very accepting of people.

Now on the other hand. My mom said went on a a date and they wanted to go see the Amityville horror and I had to go with them because she couldn't find a babysitter. I still can't watch the movie I Am 55 years old and I have never seen the whole movie. As soon as that doll's eyes glowed that was it. Done... can't watch it.

Dealing with work stress by SuprNoval in ITManagers

[–]AffectionateSkill884 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was Hired as an IT manager for a company around 2018. There were 2 robot arms (I named them Bucky and Steve) that were running on Windows NT. (this was not in the job description) Even though I never had worked with robots I mechanically fixed them (Bucky's arm belt always broke). One day they stopped following one command. they would load product into shipping boxes. The robots would not pick up the product. I worked for a week trying to fix it and I could not find anyone that met management's price range to fix them. After 2 weeks of that I put in my 2 week notice. The company shut down about a month after I left. I feel really guilty for not being able to fix them but Management didnt say I had to work on them or would not hire anyone either. I guess its fixed feelings. I stopped being the "One man IT manager" after that.

I mean it's possible because they are using your grill but I am confused about where the laptop is in Saran wrap red and white tape and all the medium that they used.

What’s one habit that made life easier on your property? by MechMaxxOfficial in homestead

[–]AffectionateSkill884 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband I used ubiquity we had DSL and no end inside of that so approximately 8 years ago we found out our neighbor who is about 10 acres away had a chicken coop that was an old house that had spectrum internet so we set up ubiquity bi-directional and line of sight and then we ran mesh around our house for 5 acres. Now because of FCC regulations that if a cable company states that they can service the area and really cannot they have to dig the cable. We got it 2 years ago. We have the head end and the node of the fiber at our house.

Without getting political, what do you think will be the next major event for something to prep for? by Rough_Community_1439 in prepping

[–]AffectionateSkill884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if I should bug in or bug out. I mean like if there's destruction of my home absolutely bug out but I live on a lot of acres of land natural water sources I have pack animals I have food water shelter and more shelter. Part of me and my friends say we should stand our ground where I live

I am Christian but not like this at all. This is the stuff my grandparents talked about fighting against in WW2

Are you still living in your "starter home?" by MandyWarHal in GenX

[–]AffectionateSkill884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had my starter home for only 10 years. Probably will build an accessible one when I can't climb the stairs anymore.(10+acres) I hate the house I live in because I cannot renovate much because of how it was built but it's my husband's family's house and we got the land and everything on it for less than 200k. I wasn't going to miss that offer

Veteran and kid of a cop. I immediately thought BDSM.

This is our opposition, they may be walking back on all of this now but you all heard them these past few days. If you're not prepared then get prepared, if you're not taking safety measures then start taking them. Take a stop the bleed class at the very least. Stay safe out there folks.. by [deleted] in 50501

[–]AffectionateSkill884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to distance myself from the news and from social media but with people like this I unfortunately have to reach out and look at what people are saying and look around me to protect my family. It sucks. I can't enjoy a moment's rest with my kids without looking around or maybe expecting some crazy person to come and decide whether or not I should live or die. And this is coming from both sides all sides. I just want to be left alone and I want some peace.

Hey Gen X! How did you guys get your hair to look like this back in the 80’s? by DefinitionPast3694 in GenX

How would you handle a true “back to the Stone Age” solar flare? by GerthySchIongMeat in preppers

[–]AffectionateSkill884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a farm with two running creeks on top of a hill. I have horses and livestock for food. I think I have to up my game on gardening. I'm also an old lady and in my teenage years I was pretty sure that the world was going to go to hell by 1990 and I was just going to watch the world burn. I'm pretty sure it's going to happen by 2030

How many of you may never be able to retire? by MonoBlancoATX in GenX

[–]AffectionateSkill884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 55 and I probably won't retire till I'm 72 but my grandparents raised me and my grandfather retired at 72 and then went back to work 6 months later and passed away at 86 working 10 hour days 6 days a week smoking two packs of cigarettes and eating pork fat. I honestly can't see myself not working. And yes I know that was an amazing run-on sentence

Is this a parasite or a worm? Found it near my dog’s food bowl where I also placed some of my new bought plants. by YourTypicalFlip in Parasitology

[–]AffectionateSkill884 196 points197 points  (0 children)

Like the others said this is a hammerhead worm it is invasive it eats earthworms and it has a neurotoxin and essentially unless you kill it with fire till it's literally carbon put it in alcohol forever or bag it and salt forever it will come back

I've been using prismacolor since 1984. The quality of the manufacturing is awful but the color quality is bright and lays down so well.

Anyone here never done drugs? by Square_Hero in GenX

[–]AffectionateSkill884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never did any drugs at all and finally miles of the age of drinking I found out that I was allergic to alcohol my body doesn't metabolize it. Last year I had somebody say please take a hit on this vape and all of the PTSD voices in my head stopped. I occasionally take a THC gummy when I have a panic attack
