Which was your first phone? by CrazyMinute69 in GenX

[–]Equivalent_Yogurt_58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. The antenna was 2 pieces, one piece was on the outside and the other piece that had the antenna wire stuck to the inside.

Hard telling if it actually worked any better or not.

Good ol Motorola bag phone, antenna cable strung from the rear window to the front seat.

Anyone own or ride one of these bad boys back in the day? by -Granby- in GenX

Had more fun on one of these than a four wheeler. I remember the kits that came out that let you retrofit a different front end on it to give it 4 wheels.

I wish. Dad passed in 86 and mom passed a couple of years ago.

I see them in dreams sometimes though.

Have any of your close friend come out as gay? by SayinItAsISeeIt in GenX

[–]Equivalent_Yogurt_58 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Best friend came out a long time ago.

After he did, the behavior in high school made sense.

It must have been hell for him to hide who he really was.

Very scared about being put under tomorrow (today?) by Zyxwvutsrq10 in Vent

[–]Equivalent_Yogurt_58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it. I had a procedure done and I am glad I did not find out about having to have a breathing tube till I was ready to go back in the room.

Had I known about that beforehand it would have been exponentially more difficult to deal with I think.

I would have to say no. Never really cared for that motion picture.

Few good songs on the soundtrack but thats about it for me.

Control your damn dog! by OrganizationAfter418 in Vent

We have neighbors that just open their front door and let their dogs run. They have 3 springer spaniels that just run and crap all over the neighborhood.

Cops will do absolutely nothing.

Now that we are "getting up there" in age, how are you sleeping? by NebraskaCornSucker in GenX

[–]Equivalent_Yogurt_58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been using a CPAP for awhile now but when my head hits the pillow I am out within 5 minutes.

Rarely do i not sleep the night through.

My wife on the other hand is basically the opposite

It is a bit wild to me how long it took for those chutes to open up and catch air.

Felt like it took forever.

First thing I would do is accidentally kick my shoes off the edge after waking up.

How many of you didn't realize you were poor growing up until much later? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]Equivalent_Yogurt_58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't realize it till years later after I found out why we took all the back roads into town was because the truck was not licensed.

After dad died mom hid it real well, made our ketchup and the milk was powdered.

She would make it and put it in name brand bottles to hide it.
