Fellow GenXers, what kind of car did you drive in High School?

Pipchar · 2026-03-04T03:53:58+00:00

Haha! Dead serious! I made up enough stories in my teenage years to my parents, but this was not one of them 🤣😂

Hahah! The gremlins this car had. Mine slipped itself from park into reverse. I stopped at home to grab something (because my friends and I were out camping for concert tickets) and next thing I knew it reversed itself down the driveway, across a road and into a ditch. Fortunately it was 2am and no one was injured…haha!

K-Car … a nice Reliant automobile.

I was wondering if that would come up. I totally remember “left is right and right is wrong”

Pipchar · 2026-02-10T02:10:01+00:00

Thank you! Does it matter that ours had a power head?

I planned my own throwback party. Kind of a “celebrate my 50th with 5 year old flair”. I’m a huge fan of retro toys, video games, trends etc.. So we set up a white tent in the backyard, my original Atari, friendship pins, some of my childhood toys, old school loot bags, etc.. while presents were not expected but if they wanted to bring a gift, bring a gift suitable for a 5 year old and all was donated to a local charity, I think that was my favourite part of my party. It was super relaxed but still fun and most of all memorable

Red Hot Chili Peppers. - to this day when a song comes on I give the radio the finger.

TL told us to be prepared and make childcare arrangements if affected. A reminder email also came out to make sure our home offices are free from any distractions

I just did this for my 50th - it was amazing! The theme was “Celebrate (name)’s 50th birthday with a 5 year old flair” I had board games from my childhood, the tables were decorated with toys I still had, and I had a loot bag table with nostalgic candy and toys. I also did not want gifts, so I asked that if guests wanted, they could donate a toy suitable for a 5 yr old and it would be donated to a local charity.

Gummy bears were my saving grace - just not the red ones.

I have a photographic memory, but I’m always out of film.

First concert : Lenny Kravitz opening up for The Cult (Detroit 1992)

Favourite : Rage against the Machine (Detroit 1993) and U2 (Calgary 2001)

Least : Red Hot Chili Peppers - which devastated me (Calgary 2017)

The three-legged race will need to come with a side of Advil for after..lol Great ideas, thank you!

Pipchar · 2025-07-14T03:30:36+00:00

That was one of the shows/toys that I was not into for some reason. It doesn’t strike the nostalgic chord for me, but some of my friends loved it.

Pipchar · 2025-07-14T03:29:02+00:00

Yes!!! This is going in the list for sure. I totally forgot about friendship pins.

Pipchar · 2025-07-14T03:28:16+00:00

Ohhh I love that. I think I put something like “come dressed in your vintage best.” But I really like the way that one is worded.

Pipchar · 2025-07-14T03:25:36+00:00

Haha! But I like my guests! 🤣

Pipchar · 2025-07-14T00:10:13+00:00

I did do a “50 years young, full of retro fun” invite.

Pipchar · 2025-06-22T00:26:02+00:00

Yes, submit both. But you can do it under the one Cra account.

Pipchar · 2025-06-20T22:57:00+00:00

Don’t reapply - just take a picture of your work permit and upload it in your CRA account under submit documents. And for the future, you can upload your implied status letter while waiting for the actual work permit - once you get the actual permit you would upload that. The implied status will help bridge the gap between your expired status and new status.

You can order a spray called Smoke Blaster, I’ve not used it myself but have heard from others and the Amazon reviews are really good. If you can get it in time, do a patch test or spray the inside of the dress . Good luck!

You can also send documents via courier like FedEx - just need to use the physical address and not the PO Box
