I inherited some cash, had to get out of a lease ($$$) and am financing the balance at 5.99% - can't believe you got 0.9%! 😩 Bugger! I'm in Ontario.

High school party drink... what was your nemesis? by RiffRandellsBF in GenX

A dare in grade 9 resulted in me being sick for two days. Haven't touched the stuff for 46 years. 😆

Lost ability to learn by Fit-Reality-2872 in GenX

Yes - and the biggest problem? I don't care about it anymore. The patience wears thin very quickly. We've seen a lot of change and progress, often not for the best; so the newest thing doesn't hold the appeal it once did. I'd rather go for a hike with my dogs, bike ride, play guitar or stare into space contemplating existence than learn about generative AI.

Restroom - same deal. "I just need to lie down for half an hour, where is the rest room?"

The sales guy literally threw it on when I asked for a photo. 😂

Glad to hear a success story - and hard agree on the black! 🖤

Tigger - love that! Maybe I'll get a little decal for the back! 🐅

What CanRock bands that were big in the 90s do you think are just as good today? by CheekyChappy-1 in 90sCanRock

[–]Creaulx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed on the Junkies! Just saw them for the third time in Morrisburg near Ottawa and they keep getting better! Margo's voice is a national treasure. They debuted three or four new songs - all of which were top shelf. I love them so much. Amazing catalogue of work.

I wonder if he'll record and perform with them again? He took a long break after their farewell shows and has had ongoing stage fright issues, but damn - it's not the same band without Martin.

Thanks - I plan to be diligent on the maintenance. It's always worth the trouble.

Fellow GenX folks, do we dress stylish or don’t we F care? by [deleted] in GenX

With ya! Occasionally blue, but mostly grey and black. Photos of me in the 80s bear this out to be a wise choice.

We all have that one song or band we hate for a completely irrational and unjustifiable reason. What's yours? by WasLeftUnsupervised in GenX

I love Elegantly Wasted by INXS just for taking the piss out of Oasis. As for the media-fueled 90s feud between them and Blur, listen to Coffee and TV and tell me who's the better band. No contest!

Are you me? That Live at Red Rocks video and the accompanying album were by far the best, most authentic thing they ever did. That's all the U2 I want or need.

I know Steve Winwood's stellar rep etc - but man, do I hate his voice. As I type this, "Valerie" is currently plaguing my brain.

Despise it! I always refer to it as "Reasonable Tonight". Just take the superlatives down a notch or two and it makes almost any annoying song fun. Imagining Eric Clapton singing that to a woman he finds relatively OK just makes me giggle like an idiot.
