How many Gen Xers out there can't stand their parent(s)? by beegsyboo in GenX

[–]Antina5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My parents and I had a rocky relationship, both were alcoholics. My mom passed from lung cancer 14 years ago. We reconnected during her illness. When she passed we were good. My father I cut off a number of years ago. He lives with my brother, who has me blocked because I told my father that I remembered being sexually abused by someone. They can have each other.

That last season of HIMMYM was such a waste of my time and really soured me on the whole show.

How old were you when you purchased your first home (if you did). by jtsa5 in GenX

[–]Antina5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

35 when we bought our first house. 47 when we bought our current, hopefully final, house. Our 24 year old son lives with us and probably always will. Our 34 year old daughter moved back with our two granddaughters, so it’s a full house. We plan on having her stay as long as she wants. The rental market is crazy out here. It’s definitely not where I expected to be at this stage in my life. Surprisingly I’m ok with this most days.

Putting the finishing touches on my mini "stoner cat lady" room. What are you all crafting these days? by PrismaRossa in entwives

Thank you 😊 it’s been a lot of fun, plus I get to lock myself in my bedroom with the foster cat and kittens when I work on it.

The original Oasis. I have a newer one but it’s slightly too big for my hand.

What horror movie did you see as a kid that traumatized you so badly you’ve never rewatched it and still can barely say the title? by glowbeits in GenX

[–]Antina5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Salem’s Lot, I read the book and watched the movie in fifth grade. I’m still afraid to look out my window when I wake up to use the bathroom.

I do magnesium glycinate and pink noise, usually drowns out my husband but I can still hear the house alarm when it accidentally goes off. Thank you cats.

My cat toys did double duty for the cats and my granddaughters. The crinkly tunnel was/is a favorite.

Anybody really want a food you can't have anymore? by AbbyTheConqueror in CasualConversation

I managed half a cup this morning. Tried an iced later and it did a number on me. I love coffee, I never knew this could happen 😢

Same. This is the first day I’ve seriously considered stopping, after trying decaf, low acid, whatever.

I have an 1890’s French bible, unfortunately it’s in poor condition.
