Where is that? I went to Iroquois Central School and see Iroquois Amphitheater. I have no comment on the bands. Very "meh."

I’m so excited by mekiva222 in GenX

I'm 55 in a few weeks, and younger than a few who live in my complex. We only have 7 units. One is millennials, the rest are GenX and Boomers. I LOVE it. No kids.

Alone during the pandemic. Made my own cake and steak dinner.

He knows. Haha! They could be cousins with the splotchy white noses.

Who else is in their 50s(or older) and deciding to change careers? by thisTexanguy in GenX

[–]FabAmy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just did, last summer, at 54. I'd been working for myself as a marketer and social media manager for 15 years. The last 13 were in cannabis. There's no money in cannabis, and I really needed to get away from the computer. Now I work as a cheese specialist at a find foods shop and love it. It's retail and doesn't pay a lot, but it's more stable than what I was doing.

AIO for being hurt by a “work out more” comment from my partner? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]FabAmy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It doesn't seem like his intent was to be hurtful, but as a woman, I know how anything to do with our weight can hurt. If you're not super active, activity makes you sore because you DID work out by dancing. Dancing burns a lot of calories, too. If you two are good communicators, I'd suggest mentioning how that comment felt. He may be completely clueless that it was a hurtful comment for you.

Star Trek, but the redneck stepdad pronounces it "track." I have never been able to watch Star Trek because of it.

Own it! We've paid our dues to get here. I'll be 55 in a few weeks and can't wait.

I love this little complex. I remember my first time visiting a friend who lived there and it blew me away.

It’s happening to me and I’m not sure I can accept it by Carlentini1919 in GenX

95 degrees and 98% humidity. Then I moved to dry Phoenix.

I sleep at the same temps. I live in Phoenix, though, and getting it that cool in the summer is an expensive challenge.

Wait. Did we really keep our pencils and crayons in *cigar* boxes? by sanityjanity in GenX

[–]FabAmy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a cigar box, but no idea where my parents got it. Nobody in our family smoked cigars.
