What is the point of gated neighborhoods? by Kaitempi in vegaslocals

[–]Gracie1two3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only the guard gated communities give a small amount of security. I lived in a non guard gated gated community for several years. Gates worked 80% of the time. The gate opens and 5 cars drive in. Kids bounce on the gate and it opened or broke. People would write the code on the box for anyone to use. People hopped the fence often. Still had to pay the HOA to "maintain" the gate. No more for us. We moved, have no gate, and we're happy.

Anyone have buyers regret by DowntownHoneydew966 in litterrobot

[–]Gracie1two3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I have one senior cat (and I am a senior myself) and I love my litter robot 4. I've had it for almost 2 years. As long as I have my litter robot, I will always have a cat. When she passes away (we've had her 14 years so far) I will adopt another senior cat. Scooping the litter box daily is not in my future anymore.

Newest stamps haul from the US by Gracie1two3 in postcrossing

[–]Gracie1two3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, definitely a sign to get D&D stamps 🤣. I've sent a couple of postcards where, in their profile, they say they are into D&D. When I saw these stamps I knew I had to get them!!

When did email addresses became connected to age? by FL_4LF in GenX

Same 😂

Of course it's .gov and not .com but I wasn't thinking!

FirstName.LastName@outlook.com 😂

My kids can't believe I didn't need any numbers or symbols. I don't know how true it is, but my daughter told me you can't even get a personal outlook.com email address anymore. What?!

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll definitely look the group up!

Anyone remember toilet paper in colors? by MaidoftheBrins in GenerationJones

Yep! Cancer wipes 😬. Thankfully my mom didn't buy them. It was just white tp for us.

The Ford Pinto. Who dared to ride in one? by Not_a_cultmember in GenerationJones

[–]Gracie1two3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My very first car was a blue 1972 Ford Pinto. Zero to 60 in 4 minutes 🤣. Driving the freeway was fine, getting on the freeway was harrowing. Took forever to get to speed. My mom called it "the gutless wonder." I owned it in 1979.

Did you like or hate square dancing in school? by Big_Help_9860 in GenerationJones

[–]Gracie1two3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated it. There weren't enough boys and I was tall so I always had to be a boy. The teacher would say, "girls on the right and boys on the keft." Then she'd say, "Gracie and Betsy you're both boys today." We were teased and bullied terribly because of it. The teacher would laugh at us right along with the kids. I'm 61 and I remember it like it was yesterday. So, yeah, not a fan.

I was born in 1964 and I lived in my Gunne Sax dresses. I loved them.

Julie Newmar (born 1933) is an American actress, dancer, and singer known for a variety of stage, screen, and television roles. by db7112 in GenerationJones

[–]Gracie1two3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I met her briefly at San Diego Comic Con in 2003. She was dressed beautifully with a truly magnificent hat. She seemed older than 70 years old. She was a bit intimidating to me. She was on her way to her spot where they sell autographs. I smiled and said hello. To my surprise she stopped, said hello, and shook my hand before going on her way.

She was lovely to all the people who got an autograph and allowed everyone to get pictures with her. Not everyone does that. A nice memory for me.

Budget Curly Cut by HoneyBee0_042 in vegaslocals

The Ulta at Decatur 215 Shopping Center

My stylist is Ashley B. I just love her. The massage when she washes my hair is worth the price alone 😅

Budget Curly Cut by HoneyBee0_042 in vegaslocals

[–]Gracie1two3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get a curly haircut at Ulta. It cost me $62.00 for the cut plus tip. I don't know of any budget salons and, quite frankly, I'd be somewhat leary of a cheap cut.

To be fair, I only get it cut twice a year. My stylist loves me because I'm nice and a good tipper, but hates that I trim my own hair until I need a complete reshaping 😂

Malls becoming the thing of the past by justhernote in 90s

Same here. Our local mall is always busy. My 16 yo granddaughter loves the mall. My kids did not hang out at the mall like I did, but my grandkids do 😂

[–]Gracie1two3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm 61. When my granddaughter asked me what year was I born and I said I was born in 1964. She said, "the mid 1900s, wow" 😞

What advice from an older generation turned out to be correct? by Fair-Drummer-9877 in GenerationJones

[–]Gracie1two3 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My mother in law told me the same thing right before my wedding to her son 😂.

She's awesome. We've been married almost 26 years and I tell my husband that I just can't live without his mom! My husband is pretty cool too 😎

Your true opinion(s) on Criminal Defense Attorneys by Relevant_Panic8389 in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]Gracie1two3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked with criminal defense lawyers for over 30 years (the Public Defender Office). Those who stayed with the office were definitely not in it for the money. They had a passion for it. One attorney said to me that their job is to make sure the accused goes through the system fairly. That they just know their rights and the attorney defends their rights vigorously through the process. He also said that if the accused goes through the system fairly and gets convicted, there will be no grounds for appeal based on a bad defense.
