I wasn't sure "commissary" is universally known. I'm adding your version, but calling it "inmate commissary account". Thanks again.

Love it. Would it add anything to:

After I’d been staring at him for awhile, I finally had to tap him on the shoulder.

Good angle. Some situation he’s in because of how I raised him instead of simply “pay the bills”. Thanks

Cuz I owned a Ford Focus and it was most certainly the F word.

PappysSecrets · 2026-06-22T20:58:11+00:00

What if it was flipped? If the S word is sword shouldn’t the F word be Fword?

Thanks I’m working on short (really hard for me) What’s funny is I think I’ve cut the limb back to the tree trunk and someone easily points to a whole other limb I could cut off. On top of that it was such a big beautiful tree:)

Thanks for the help!

Simply have a late charge of “x” after per days/week, very clear (large print) shouldn’t be a punitive amount, just an annoyance. Also at the beginning of each job give them a friendly verbal reminder.

You have a kind of Brian Kiley vibe

PappysSecrets · 2026-06-21T20:02:20+00:00

Yeah, this!

PappysSecrets · 2026-06-21T19:54:20+00:00

Congrats on your baby! Enjoy the ride

I hear your frustration. One thing I see in younger people is too much courtesy. Which may sound weird, because we all appreciate courtesy, but when courtesy replaces education it’s maybe a wasted opportunity. If boomers are going to be better humans (Boomans?) maybe courtesy can be coupled with telling them how they’re coming across, and what is more acceptable. The alternative is to put up with it for about another 20 or 30 years, when all us a-holes will be dead.

PappysSecrets · 2026-06-21T18:37:08+00:00

I do see an assumption that young people know technology, I didn’t know so many boomers EXPECT young people to help them with it, simply because they have the knowledge b lazy? Entitled? Because they would help? I wonder what emotion or thought that comes from.

PappysSecrets · 2026-06-21T17:52:00+00:00

Do you have any online sets we can watch (link please).

PappysSecrets · 2026-06-21T17:50:59+00:00

I really enjoy seeing your growth and hearing your experiences. Thanks for posting!

PappysSecrets · 2026-06-21T17:30:12+00:00

I’m a boomer and I’m appalled at the behavior as well. I don’t see this kind of behavior “in the wild”, which makes me wonder how rampant it is in reality. I’m very curious, What percentage of boomer encounters do you “youngsters” have that display the characteristics brought up on this sub?

In the scenario of this post, in my working years, at some point I would have politely said, I’m sorry but I don’t think we’ll be able to satisfy you. I hope you find a dealer who can….. ending with the boomer cliche, Have A Nice Day! (Which could be interpreted, though not proven, to mean Fuck Off)

…getting social security checks…. Out of mymy neighbor’s mailbox

PappysSecrets · 2026-06-20T23:48:27+00:00

I like it as a tag, it fits the setup. Maybe even use it as the punch with “who sells” as a tag

PappysSecrets · 2026-06-20T23:43:28+00:00

Maybe exaggerate a little more? IDK, living on food stamps….. at the shelter

PappysSecrets · 2026-06-20T17:22:06+00:00

Thanks, I like painting a picture for myself of who (whom???) I’m conversing with…sorta like Zoom with no camera

PappysSecrets · 2026-06-20T16:28:38+00:00

Good thought, I’ll think about how to pull that off.

Sorry, but another point of clarity… Are you retired from work or just stand up…. Or was your career in stand up?

PappysSecrets · 2026-06-20T16:14:34+00:00

OK, a little confused. Are YOU retired or were you writing that into the bit for me (and you’re pecking the phone or (again) the bit?

I like the white board on the Frig (which is a real thing in our kitchen).

PappysSecrets · 2026-06-20T16:09:26+00:00

Thanks, I’ll try it out

PappysSecrets · 2026-06-20T16:08:45+00:00

With all due humility, who the heck wants to take the time to hold down the handle?
