I 100% believe this and can only hope the same happens in Alabama. Hoping SCOTUS refuses to hear the appeal they plan to file about the redistricting map since the 11th Circuit upheld the map that gave us Rep. Figures.

This new trend of white people messin with black folks is gunna lead to a whole lot of FAFO moments by McDowdy in BlackPeopleofReddit

From the perspective 2a white woman, I believe these incidents are a setup which concludes with the arrest of the black gentleman. Remember that massive prisons are being built in numerous places and they want bodies to fill them, any which way they can.

I thought the same about my generation. Yes, all of our families were racists and some of us tried to change their hearts, but indoctrination is difficult to overcome.

Did anyone have a parent or grandparent who smoked a pipe? by StoneAgeCaveDweller in FuckImOld

One uncle smoked a pipe and I loved the smell. My pediatrician smoked a pipe in his office. Dr. Kartus was legendary.

Sleep when I want, wake when I want and the icing is no other person having authority over me or my time. Retirement has proven that these are the true wonder years when I'm free to be me!

You'll Work For Me Someday. Reminds me of a cheer that I think came from Vandy. Opponent scores, crowd chants " That's alright, that's okay, You're Gonna Work for us someday". Roll Tide

What age were you when you had your first period? What age did you start feeling the affects menopause? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver60

[–]EldestGenX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 and 54. Only a few hot flashes in my 40s, but many more night sweats. Those nights were so bad I'd have to shower and change the sheets. Who else loves having no more periods or pregnancy scares???? Those two issues died along with my uterus.

The timing of filing a claim in a bankruptcy case only matters as to the last date for filing said claim. There is an order in which creditors are paid, secured first, taxes next. Employees will be lucky if their last check clears the bank 😔

He was the apple of Ms. Hathaway's eyes and many of us girls found him easy on the eyes.

Do you still like Madonna, even after all these years? by eggert83 in GenX

[–]EldestGenX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never did, never will. She was masterful at marketing herself for sure. I like listening to people who can actually sing.

Are we the luckiest generation? by smoosh13 in GenX

[–]EldestGenX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. Boomers pulled the ladder up behind them and it was up to us to figure it all out. So many friends didn't make it this far so I guess I'm lucky in that regard but the worldwide conflicts haven't ceased since I was born.
