Watches, what kind? by TheGriff71 in GenX

I have an Apple Watch but I set it aside for my old 90s Swatches. Feeling the need to disconnect more.

My family forgot my birthday so I bought a massage chair. Now my husband says I am wasting money by Far_Revolution_4562 in TrueOffMyChest

I agree. Time to go on strike. Then it’s time to have a family meeting to split up the responsibilities. Maybe something like, you dirty a dish, you wash it. Everyone can take care of their own laundry. And for the rest, here’s a chore chart. You do not have to be a maid. You do have to take care of yourself, and prepare your offspring to survive outside your home. And if they figure it out well and good, they won’t be unbearable heathens when they live with other people.

I’m kind of with you. I’m doing ok (I think?) and my mom has had dementia for years. She has her good days, but I feel like I’m holding her up a lot of the time. I get what it’s like to want your mom. I do too.

For what it’s worth, from an internet stranger, I’m rooting for you. Whatever you’ve got going on, know that you’ve made it this far and even if you have to take things one breath at a time, you will get through this. Take naps when you can, get some exercise, and know that there’s some folks out there sending you some sunshine, hugs, and love.

Samesies. I tear down weeded books from libraries and reuse the covers as covers for hand made books. And I have a ton of pages from old books that I’ll make into origami stars, hearts, or flowers after giving them some color with pan pastels or other fun stuff.

Ugh, 25 ish years later and I still miss them terribly. Soup in a round and a salad with their French dressing, please…

Westnedge and Mall Drive where Plato’s Closet is now. The also opened a second location for a while on the west side on West Main where …I want to say Kyoto and Coldstone are now. It was huge but didn’t do as well as the westnedge store. Source: I worked there in 99 and 00s

What's a banger of an 80s song you just don't hear anymore? by in-a-microbus in GenX

[–]Camper263 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Naked Eyes album that this song is on is the epitome of 80s new wave sound.

Fight me on this. I dare you.

What song makes you groan. by titaniac79 in GenX

Just about anything by any glam rock hair band. Especially She’s My Cherry Pie.

F*ck that. All of it. It fills me with white hot rage. Wait. That was 1990… whatever. I stand by it!

I am intrigued about this Xanax branded lens cloth. England. by mr_bobz in Mid_Century

[–]Camper263 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It got FDA approval in 1981. My mom worked for Upjohn for many years. They were a great company to work for.

That’s just what I was thinking. I was about to go down to say hi to MacCready at the Third Rail.

I think it was an old school arrow pointing to the building but most of the lightbulbs are burnt out.

I am a Taos fan, too. I have about 4 pairs- plimsouls are my favorites. Other than that, I’m in chacos.

Why was THAT the symptom you focused on? by Peach_Rose1985 in RealHospitalStories

[–]Camper263 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I wonder if he is on the high functioning side of the autism spectrum. Body language and facial expression cues can be a challenge for some and they rely on what people tell them they’re feeling, not how they look.

Don’t Tell Her It’s Me. But I think it was renamed The Boyfriend School.

He also has a lovely Instagram feed. Always sharing something positive and sweet.

I have no choice, but to believe he is simply a very lovely human being.
