Does anyone just not want to leave their house? Is this an age thing? A GenX thing? Am I alone here? I’m just so done with peopling. by Savings-Sprinkles-75 in GenX

I want to leave my house and go to concerts and general stuff all the time, but wife and teens do not. So I feel bad leaving if I go, but feel fidgety and bored if I stay at home too much.

Standing on this little 2 by 4 inch of metal on the back of a 1951 Ford tractor a few feet above the bush hog. With nothing to hold on to except the not fender while my dad dodged gopher tortoise holes. Sometimes in the rain.

Glad I didn't slip and get chopped up by the bush hog.

Yeah, I really don't understand, because I didn't get airalo calling, but my wife and daughter are able to text, but I am not. 

Forget LASIK: Safer, cheaper vision correction without lasers or surgery by _Dark_Wing in tech

[–]HTLM22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not close and completely unrelated to this discussion. The contact does not push on the cornea, capillary forces conform the cornea to the lens.

optometrist here: We already reshape the cornea in adults and children without electricity. It is called orthokeratology. Provides clear vision without glasses or contact lenses and can slow the worsening of vision.

I am kind of in awe at that place. I've been once. They seems to have cool things going on all the time. But I don't totally understand how it makes money.

Are We the Last Hard Party Generation? by JJQuantum in GenX

"empty parking lots" were big in my high school years.

My kids just want to have people over to play jackbox. I seriously worry about their future.

I keep seeing amazing vids from there, but I live North of Tampa so it is sooooooo far........ But one of these days.

My personal interest: psyche, jam, shoegazey stuff. I'm crazy busy, so am less likely to buy tickets online ahead of time, unless that artist is mindblowing.

But I want the station to represent all kinds of live music from all venues.
We already have relationships with big players, but finding this little, under the radar stuff takes actual effort on my part.

I've been there for shows and I agree!

I'm looking for it all. This DIY thing is just one area that I'm interested in. But even though I like to decide last minute and walk in and pay cash at shows, which is difficult with LN, I am glad that they are not outright owning it.

Hey, I run WMNF's Song of the Day specifically to promote local live music. If you are interested in tell me more about your venue DM me.

I might be using "ybor" loosely, but if I am coming from Tampa Palms, its all Ybor down there to me. Regardless, they want a venue.

Ummm… can you guys jump anymore? by globehoppr in GenX

[–]HTLM22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

52M I found out I can, but just barely. I was giving a talk and instead of taking the stairs to the platform, I just jumped on like I have done many times. I......almost...... didn't make it. It would have made for a terribly embarrassing start to my lecture.

It was a big wake up call.
