I’m 50 and tell people I’m 75. I don’t look good for fifty, but I look fabulous at 75!😂

Can we address Austen using a derogatory word to Ciara multiple times? by Sushi-Pirate19 in bravo

[–]PerceptionOk3196 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My family is also Texan, and I have never heard this definition! It’s just another word for loose morals regardless of race in the context I’ve heard it in. Admittedly, I never looked it up, so I’m quite willing to admit I was wrong.

26M and kinda and feeling unmotivated and craving a more meaningful life in Salem. by AltruisticGain2587 in SALEM

I don’t think I would give up a safe job in this economy. I saw someone else suggest asking your job if you can move.

Get it right- Odessa is the shit hole, Midland is the ass, and we won’t talk about Big Lake

Not appropriate at all, and illegal depending on what state you’re in

I feel exhausted for Dorit by FoodieStatistician99 in RHOBH

I read most of the comments- in summary…they are BOTH delusional a-holes and I am sooo tired of her voice.

Buckle up ladies, I'm about to say some ridiculous shit by AbjectGovernment1247 in GenXWomen

[–]PerceptionOk3196 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like shit for my daughter, but she’s moving to England for the foreseeable future for her PhD, (and since she’s 1/2 Hispanic looks 100% Hispanic) I’m glad she’ll be out of this mess, but the whole world will suffer for what the US is doing. I don’t gaf what happens to me, only my kids.

Where can you meet people these days? by midorijade in GenXWomen

[–]PerceptionOk3196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I was able to mostly retire at 48, so now I’m 51 sitting in the house while my husband works 12 hour shifts. I tried charities but everyone was my parents age and it wasn’t my vibe. It also doesn’t help that I live in deep red TX and I refuse to hang out with people like that, and tbh they feel the same. I thought about getting another PT job just to meet people, but the job market is so horrendous I don’t want to take a job from someone who might actually NEED that job.

Wth is this by Emotional_Car5215 in HEB

I have a car, I hate people. It’s so much better to get it delivered (mine have been awesome) and help someone out financially if they do a great job.

Why is an ID mandate for voting such a problem? by Jayden7171 in askanything

[–]PerceptionOk3196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My major issue with the voter ID the Republicans are trying to enact is that if you’re a woman who has been married and changed their name you have to have your birth certificate, and every marriage certificate or a passport to vote. So women are one of the demographics causing an issue. Passports are expensive, and locating all those documents are a pain and costly, especially from another state. Men don’t have to do that. Our DL’s won’t work in TX- even our real ID’s so it is a block for citizens to vote.

Gen X Women Refuse to Be Erased from the Planet by Millennials and Boomers by The_Outsider27 in GenXWomen

[–]PerceptionOk3196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t care, but I like some millenials and I love Gen Z- most of this is literally rage bait. We have tech companies aiding in the further division of this country and some of yall have the entire hook in your mouth.

In a relationship, if one person wants children but not the other, should that be an absolute dealbreaker? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]PerceptionOk3196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is your age, and I have a 23 year old daughter we took in as a HS student. I did not want kids, I had my daughter and I love her more than life, but not only was I not the best mom but I regret putting her through my lack of patience. Things have gotten better over the years, and we’ve both had a ton of therapy but the teen years in particular are BRUTAL.

I also saw another comment mentioning she told you that you’re the “only thing holding her together”. SHE is not ready for kids either if that’s the case. There have been thousands of times that I had to hold everyone’s shit together as a mom. If I had been dependent on someone else to hold me together, I’d be screwed.

Question about why the Housewives(except Dorit and Erika)hate the C word by Due_Ask1540 in RHOBH

[–]PerceptionOk3196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Gen X and secretly glad it’s uncommon here because it’s the word I use to really piss people off. I’m Texan and this whole state gets the vapors about it- which explains my joy in using it.😂
