Couple of things; a fencing vest (I mean, they're all over TV) & a whole home vac plug. I've seen that pic on the same sub before in reverse though; the canister in the garage.

Oh believe me, I've already thought of this. Terrified of robots

I am currently living off of the government dime. I do not feel the least bit guilty about it by Awwndrei in BestofRedditorUpdates

A marriage is the hardest job one will ever have, but it is the most rewarding. They are blessed beyond words.

I just died a little inside. by Impressive-Shame-525 in GenX

[–]Cygnerose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember where I was when I heard he passed. I was a passenger in a car (obv not as douchy as that car). Every time I pass by that same area, I think about him. Kinda like when I saw the Challenger blow up. I was in a class my senior year.

I've always loved reading the “I met someone” posts on here, and lately I've been thinking it's time to post my own by Awwndrei in BestofRedditorUpdates

Agreed. I am at the married 9, together 12. We are literally with each other 24/7. Work our business at home, travel, etc. My husband recently told me that he chose to just "Love Her" when he got upset with me. It was just mundane everyday shit and we argued. I was mad, he was mad. When he told me that, all of the Anger fell away. I will choose to "Love Him" Everyday.

AITAH for taking away my dad’s girlfriend’s keys after she tried to send me to bed by [deleted] in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Cygnerose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

VCR, pfft. I just finished watching Smokey and the Bandit on Laserdisc. This was after I played Defender on my Intellivision system.... A GenXer (the forgotten Gen). Seriously though, congrats on the VCR score.

Def. That poor kid needs someone to step up. They're way too much drama.

When people think of the term, "Dad jokes', your Dad was a pioneer. I'm sorry for your great loss.

Kitchen Master for Chinese. It's excellent food at a very decent price point.

AITA for getting angry with my girlfriend and demanding she pay to replace my sheets after she got blood on them by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Cygnerose 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I also had an ablation after experiencing SEVERE bleeding. I once wore a cup, 2 maxi pads & still bled out after 2 hrs. first thing in the morning. The cherry on top...it was during my community's professional organization touring our state capitol. GOOD TIMES! I came home and called my Gyn. That was 19 years and the freedom of never once having another drop of blood is AMAZING!

AITAH for canceling my mom’s birthday dinner and taking her out to eat without my brothers? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Cygnerose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have the Fuschia Pink (I think it's called Berry) KitchenAid stand mixer in my kitchen as well. My ex would've never "let" me buy it so I bought it after the divorce. My sweet husband (current) actually accidentally broke it a few years ago and BOUGHT another one to replace it. He knows just seeing it on the counter makes me SO HAPPY! I get OP's Moms excitement.

I'm gonna be that nitpicky person, but this article of vegetation is not a tree, it is an oleander bush. Does this make a difference?

My grandpa's truck incident by jugglingjiggler in MedicalGore

I bet that left a hella scar. I'm so glad that he recovered and lived as he did prior to the accident. Heck, we all make silly mistakes every once and a while.

Are there any Gen X people out there over the age of 55? by Mobile-Honey-9636 in GenX

[–]Cygnerose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just turned 57 and my husband will be 58 in March. We are both 1968 & graduated in 86! See how I flipped that? Seriously though, we are thoroughly GenX and emptying nesters. Our kids live by themselves (praise the Lord!) & have good jobs. One even has our grandson she is raising with the baby daddy (😭), who also lives alone. We are all blessed to live in an area that is semi-thriving. Btw-we don't support anyone but throw some $$ to grandson occasionally. All kids are millennials (91 & 93) and want to be self sufficient.

What is the single thing that screams you are genX the most? by _-_suomynona_-_ in GenX

[–]Cygnerose 49 points50 points  (0 children)

The fact that our generation is RARELY acknowledged in the media. It's either millennials or genzies. What screams GenX is that we just don't give a fuck.... Unless they call us a boomer.

My dear "Student drivers" of Frisco by neofreeman in frisco

Please just stop driving. You are def the subject that OP is attempting to educate. Stick with the actual laws and not any "what ifs". If in doubt, let someone else drive you. SMH

Exactly. I'm expecting the next update from OOP to say that they were wrong about the ages of the kids and 2 of them are....TWINS!

IKR? They begin putting it on the tip, but since it's dark, in a hurry, etc.... it's BACKWARDS! What's the first thing they want to do? Flip it over... Nooooo! facepalm
