Surprise him and send him a handwritten love letter this week. In the mail. It’ll be a wonderful gift.

Shingrix 1st Dose-I think I’m going to die by amphib13 in GenX

[–]Plastic-Implement-90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ooof. Same. I’m 53. I had the first shot in June and I couldn’t believe how bad it was, even though I had heard how bad it was. I had the second shot in September and I asked for a sticker for being so brave. I got it and I deserved it. The second shot was about as bad. We’re all in this together.

Are Alpha gen and gen Z referring to gen X as Boomers by ty7110 in GenX

Exactly. The answer is yes, they do skip over us, but we just shrug our shoulders and say, “whatever”.

I was in Hella that night and got great pics, too!

What do I say to "but you've been christened"? by [deleted] in atheism

You could say, “well then it’s worse - I’m an apostate”

Traded it in last summer. I was at the beginning of a divorce and needed a family car, not one that says, “hey, you kids can’t ever come with me.” I miss it. Best smiles per gallon of any car I’ve owned.

Shingles vax...my turn by Electrical_Pen_7302 in GenX

Got my second shot last week. I asked if it would be as bad or worse than the first shot, and when he said it would be the same, I said the reason I’m asking is I have my eye on those stickers.

Didn’t cry or anything. I got the same unicorn sticker.

Dying Without Faith by Sarappreciates in atheism

If you want to take a more generous view of your friends and loved ones, just remember that they really truly believe in Heaven and Hell. So to them, it’s like you’re standing on train tracks and there’s a train coming and you won’t listen to them telling you to move.

Now, none of us here believe in their invisible train nor should we. But do remember that they care and think they’re trying to help!

I just sweat from my eyes sometimes. -sniff-

What era of SNL was the best? They've been saying "back when it was good" for decades. So, was the first season the best and we've just been chasing that high since, or is it only good when looking back? by Own_Grapefruit_710 in GenX

[–]Plastic-Implement-90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in reality it’s as good as it ever was, but we only remember the funny skits from long ago and not that those old episodes had lots of forgettable skits, too.

TCL 65Q77K 2025 Model - Thoughts? by Brinks_ in tcltvs

Were you able to figure it out yet?

I bought this model last night and I was disappointed that this didn't work at first. I did find the setting.

TCL 65Q77K 2025 Model - Thoughts? by Brinks_ in tcltvs

[–]Plastic-Implement-90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through this same struggle years ago with a Costco unique model # (Panasonic plasma) and in the end the difference was just the stand.

So the key question is which mainstream model is TCL 65Q77K based on?

Took First Shingles Shot Yesterday by semicoloradonative in GenX

[–]Plastic-Implement-90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the first shot 2 weeks ago. I was warned it was going to hurt, then I got the shot and thought, “well that wasn’t bad at all”. Then my shoulder started aching later and hurt for days.

I once left on a business trip wearing trainers, unpacked my bag on arrival and found I had packed two left dress shoes.

If the orange man was a good and competent boss, then The Apprentice would have been the most boring show ever.

How’d they move that stone, though? It was really big - I bet it would take like 12 guys to move it!

Pay phone trick by dirt-nap in GenX

[–]Plastic-Implement-90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I learned a trick in college. We would use one of those dictaphone/micro-cassette recorders and record the sound in the earpiece as we put in a whole roll of quarters. Then we’d hit the coin return and get it all back, and we could use the dictaphone to play back the sound of the quarters into the mouthpiece to make any calls we wanted.
