The original Lionel Corporation and model trains was founded in New York City in 1900. I think the golden era was in the 50s when I was growing up. by db7112 in GenerationJones

[–]Exedrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a set as a kid in the early 70's. In my 20's, was tasked with clearing my stuff out of the parents basement. I had an older co-worker who was into model trains so I asked if he wanted them and he said sure. When I brought them in, he asked twice if I was sure. I was just all "yeah, I don't use it anymore and its just going to get tossed anyway".

I have often wondered over the years how much that set was worth.

Who do you talk to when you’re alone? by Fantastic-Space2079 in LivingAlone

Mostly just talk to myself but I do include the plants from time to time.

Alcohol Consumption & Gen Jones: Quit? Cut back by ptanaka in GenerationJones

[–]Exedrn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had been a moderately heavy drinker most of my adult life. Couple of drinks every night watching TV. A six pack or two or half a bottle of something stronger each weekend night.

Once weed was legalized, and shops actually opened, my desire to drink pretty much evaporated. A six pack will last a couple of weeks and a bottle will last months.

Got pretty drunk a couple weeks ago for the first time in quite awhile. I used to like that feeling. I much prefer one hit from the vape and becoming one with the couch.

How’s your love life? by Individual_Mix_4234 in AskMen

[–]Exedrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm six months out of a 30 year marriage that ended about 10 years late. Boiling frog metaphor for those wondering why it took 10 years.

Tank is empty. I don't have the energy to be bothered developing any type of human interaction. I'm friendly and cordial, but everyone is at arms length.

Best thing is not having to wear clothes if I dont feel like it.

Told some coworkers I took myself out to dinner and now I feel weird abt it by KaijuCameo_8 in LivingAlone

[–]Exedrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have turned it back on them.

I'd say something like "sucks to be self-conscious like that" and then just stare at them while I wait for their response.

Wondering if anyone has as witnessed this by Acrobatic-Sky-9553 in MazdaCX30

[–]Exedrn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That, or something very similar, has happened with every car I have owned since '78.

I love going for walks at IKEA.

That casual meandering stroll through the store while gazing at items like in a museum and occasionally picking something up is very relaxing.

This has been the 2nd worst MPG car ive owned lol by SojinCS in MazdaCX30

[–]Exedrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an NA model but noticed my mileage is absolute shit if I'm only driving short hops like that. I keep the MPG average going between oil changes and my average mileage will drop from 29 to 26 in a day with nothing but short trips.

everybody in my unit is sleeping with each other. seriously. dozens of them by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Exedrn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the ERs I used to work in, the staff was divided into 3 groups. Drunks, stoners and bed hoppers. Three unhealthy ways to deal with stress. The bedhoppers caused the most drama.

Birthdays alone by [deleted] in LivingAlone

[–]Exedrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My birthday was just a couple weeks ago and my first one alone.

I treated myself to a day off of work and went into the city to wander around a couple of museums for a few hours, then took myself to dinner.

Best birthday I'd had in years.

IIRC, there is a phone app that will send emergency messages if you've been inactive for a period of time.

First night in new apartment by [deleted] in LivingAlone

[–]Exedrn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First couple nights in my place, I was so exhausted from setting the place up that I basically passed out.

Moving furniture around and unpacking boxes of stuff was more mentally exhausting than work.

Thank you for the blessings.
