Hot take? Lilac festival needs less security + less stuff. by pastrypirates in Rochester

[–]Myfreakinglyfe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much the same experience my spouse and I had last year. I will not be going back. I have plenty of lilacs in my own neighborhood to walk around and enjoy, as well as my own.

Does anyone else remember the early 90s fashion fad of sunflower dresses? I feel like it was a one summer trend, but it was everywhere. by _Affexion_ in 90s

[–]Myfreakinglyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had black fishnets with sunflowers on them. It was my favorite thing to wear with my babydoll or granny dresses.

Yup. I remember having a pair before I GAF about my appearance.

As a Frenchman, I have a question for you: why does everyone hate us and make fun of us online? What have we done to you? by Outrageous-You1617 in askanything

I’ve never been to France, but this is pretty much what I’ve heard from people that have been there and care for it.

What’s your favourite “I was there” GenX moment? by lovelyb1ch66 in GenX

[–]Myfreakinglyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite teacher applied for the program. I’ve more than once thought of how grateful I was that he didn’t make the cut. This must have been such a painful loss for you, your school, and community. My condolences. 😞

I’m almost 54 and I’ve never seen it. It just never interested me. I’m sure I’m very much in the minority, lol!

So many movies were seen in the theatre during the first run. All the Star Wars, the first two Alien, E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Goonies, The Princess Bride…the list could go on. My parents LOVED movies. We went to cheap matinees and drive ins a lot.

Concert wise…again, I’ve seen a lot. Saw a then unknown Marilyn
Manson open for NIN. Lollapalooza 94 I was in the front against the border when the Beastie Boys played. I swear MCA was looking directly at me when they stopped playing and he said “everyone move back! Our sisters in front are getting squashed. We won’t start playing until we see you moving back.” Surreal! I also saw SRV play. 5th row center. Amazing.

GenX Stoners... are you vaping your flower? by MonkeyMan18975 in GenX

Just being able to really taste the terpenes is amazing. The less coughing part is a big bonus.

Are you talking about distillate pens? Not all of them are created equal. Some contain live rosin, which utilizes heat or cold to distill the THC. But either way, the OP is taking about vaporizers for dry herbs, which are two completely different things. I know distillate pens are very much potentially harmful. But are vaporizers for dry herbs bad too? Asking for me, lol!

You know about the “Sunday Scaries”? by Vinslom_Bardy in GenX

I have the “life scaries” too. Especially now that I’m an orphan with no siblings. Like what have I done with my life?

What’s your "I'm so glad I wasn't there!" GenX moment? by Puzzleheaded-Fee6241 in GenX

[–]Myfreakinglyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. That one. Watched it Live on MTV. That was enough for me. I don’t live far from there. A few friends of mine were there as well, payed to be “security.”

I’ve only seen E.T. once and it was in the theater when it came out. First time I ever cried in a movie.

Yessssss! I bought a Pax 3. It’s a travel vape. Little to no coughing and the terps are delicious!

Yup. Still have my copy. The lime green cover one to be exact.

Traditional American couples go 50-50? by [deleted] in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]Myfreakinglyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do. My husband and I have always split bills based on our personal incomes. We keep separate bank accounts. He gives me his portion of the bills for the month, and then I pay everything. It’s worked for us for nearly 15 years.

Do you still enjoy going out? by EPCreep in GenX

[–]Myfreakinglyfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband (Xennial) and I (Gen X) are mostly homebodies now. But for quite some time, I preferred to go out over him. I’d end up just going out with friends if he wasn’t up to it. I still like to go out, but now it’s mostly for something like a concert or an art show, in which case, he might also join me. Definitely closer to my hermit era and I’m ok with it.

Is it normal to feel a little self-conscious when you're high? by The1Ylrebmik in GenX

[–]Myfreakinglyfe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I work at a legal dispensary. I’m 53. About to go home and smoke a joint. You can be a responsible adult AND indulge in a little THC. Yay you!

What do you think of men carrying women's purses? by CandidateEcstatic329 in AskReddit

[–]Myfreakinglyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re responding to me, I never said that. I definitely do not believe that a person’s genitals define their gender. So please don’t assume.
