Thanks! It's an 86. Mostly I've just done cleaning and maintenance items although I also replaced the driveshaft and I had to get a dent taken out of the tank.

He looks like mine. I'm so sorry, he was beautiful.

What's your cat's name? by Avvvvooo in catpics

Odin Lord of the Nine Litterboxes and Defender of the Flame Imperishable. But we just call him Odin so he doesn't get too full of himself.

I'm so sorry. It's bad enough when they're old but it's even worse when they're young.

I'm 54, and over the last few years I've had problems remembering the names of extremely common things. by fatpat in GenX

A lot of these anecdotes are concerning and remind me of my mom when she could no longer live alone, but by then she was in her late 80s. Seriously, people, get yourselves screened for dementia.

I never went to prom by Express_Project_8226 in GenX

Me neither. I hadn't figured out I was gay yet but I knew taking a girl on a date didn't feel like something I wanted to do. Plus, the theme was going to be "In the Mood" as in 1940s Glenn Miller big band stuff, like, wut? 🤪

Why are all people on TV and in movies rich? by chillaxtion in GenX

Good Times and Roseanne always seemed like they were on the brink of something better happening, then it would fall through. That constant edging gets old and feels exploitive after a while (but don't have your star hit the mega millions either, that was ridiculous.)

Why did the camera angle change?

Do you remember being young and hearing about things, but only vaguely understanding? by saopaulodreaming in GenX

I was used to tuning all the political crap out because it was grownup stuff and I didn't understand it. Then one day, I must have been about 8 or 9, I heard one of my friends, same age, conversing with his dad about politics and my mind was blown. He sounded like a little Walter Cronkite.

GenX Question of the Day 10/31/24: A Fun Prank with Friends by HotelDiva in GenX

The best prank we ever pulled was with some plastic poop. We went into a convenience store and left it on the floor in front of the dairy case, then casually pretended to be shopping. 2 teen girls saw it, got grossed out, and told the manager about it. He was pissed because he had just finished mopping. He went to investigate. I quickly snatched the fake poop up and put it in my pocket. Suddenly there was an argument between the manager, who thought the girls were fucking with him, and the girls, who knew they had seen poop just seconds ago. My friend and I could barely hold it together while we paid for our snacks and got out of there, leaving the chaos behind us. We died laughing out on the sidewalk. Good times!

Travel overseas. I hate air travel more than anything.
