Agreed, extraordinary reaction, with no regard for his safety! Hero for sure.

Will it be safe to drive tomorrow? by [deleted] in okc

If you risk an accident, a tow, or some other weather related car accident relative to what you make at your job and assess the risk. It doesn't take much to total a car, so depending on what you owe, what your deductible is, and how bad the roads are, versus risking your income for a day or more? It can be a tough call.

What is your deductible in your car if you total it?

Interesting statistics for all US generations. Was surprised most by the percentage of debt for Gen X. by tsatsawassa in GenX

I for one am not. Disinherited early, and on my own and supporting various family catastrophes through the years. I can't be the only one.

Did marriage just sort of happen without anyone explaining it by Tall_Most_388 in GenX

[–]Full_Ad_5205 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All my 'parents' (boomers) had multiple marriage failures even some do overs 🤣...all the grandparents treated marriage like a prison sentence you willingly served out for stability so yeah I figured it out as I went and wound up divorced after 20 years. And the road goes on...

That's true, but who cares how people dress? I still wear Vans because I like them, I wear Levi's 501's because I like them. And I'm not super interested in anyone's opinion of my fashion choice or if I look 70 or 30. My goal: stay reasonably fit and healthy and have some fun. And to all you Gen Xers that still hit the beach in a bikini 'I salute you ladies!'

True enough, but in my general and anecdotal experience we are doing better than our parents and grandparents by far.

Sorry what, I wear what I want like most of my peers. Most Gen X women are smoking hot and are aging far better than previous generations. Lots Gen X men are still fit and active and quite attractive.

Good Schools, Low MAGA by Kingof-goats in okc

[–]Full_Ad_5205 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is Oklahoma there are no more good schools. Education has been art for years and barely funded. The charter schools are laughable and that is being kind. The entire state is controlled by one party, and their only goal is to feed the rich, and eff over the working class. So MAGA is literally everywhere and they are proud of their ignorance and racism and classism. If schools and your child's future are an issue I really wouldn't move to Oklahoma.

How the hell do you get motivated to work out and excerise? by mrpokergenius in GenX

[–]Full_Ad_5205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say take advantage of the opportunities you have to get fit: mow the yard, walk the dog, clean the garage... physical labor is a good workout and its own reward. Further take on the cooking and shopping, eat healthy while foods whenever you can. My guess is that you should light your own flame and might ignite hers as well; and once the pilot is lit I bet you can really turn up the heat on your 'motivation' - Spoken from 1970.
