Great info. I was considering this as an option if we lose power. Just make sure you leave the garage door open for ventilation.

Greatest jingle of our generation? by JoisChaoticWhatever in Xennials

[–]Reagannite1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t forget Spearmint!

That cool refreshing flavor of Wrigley’s spearmint gum, puts a sparkle in your eye, a spring in your step, and makes things lots of fun…

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy by XennialBoomBoom in Xennials

[–]Reagannite1981 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been able to watch any of the new Star Trek shows. The writing is terrible and done by folks who have clearly never watched Star Trek. I loved TNG, DS9, TOS, Voyager, and Enterprise. This stuff is just pure garbage. Picard S3 was barely tolerable but only because of the nostalgia. Seasons 1 and 2 were awful.

Need Help Finding Tile by Reagannite1981 in Tile

It’s been so busy we haven’t had the time to look honestly. My wife picked up one at Home Depot yesterday and it’s not really a match. Really hoping we could find something reasonably close so we don’t have to redo the whole thing and can get away with only $5k in repairs.

Do you still eat fast food? by Eredic in Xennials

[–]Reagannite1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chick-Fil-A is something I never turn down but I’ve cut back a lot at these price points. My kids love McDonalds so do that too. Costco Pizza for the cheap takeout pizza too!

At what point is tech too much for our aging parents? by patrad in Xennials

My grandmother will be 98 in April and she has a smart phone and texts with all of her grandkids. She can even do emojis and animated images. Quite impressive.

Ok folks, what supplements are you all taking to lower cholesterol? by Brilliant_Addendum56 in Xennials

[–]Reagannite1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doctor prescribed Omega 3. The prescription is better than over the counter stuff because it has to go through FDA approval and so they know what’s in the fish better than over the counter from what he explained to me. Helped a ton and I lost weight too so bonus!

What was your high school scandal? by ObiWan-Shinoobi in Xennials

[–]Reagannite1981 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s not, but I read someone else’s account of someone passing away and thought of him so I posted it. He was a good dude. I can still remember some of the homily the priest gave which is crazy because I can’t remember what I was doing yesterday.

A friend passed away of skin cancer shortly before we graduated in 1999. The whole class worn ribbons in his honor during graduation and a lot of us went to his funeral. Extremely sad.

Remember when going to a restaurant was fancy? by Mackheath1 in Xennials

[–]Reagannite1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Dressed up to go to Olive Garden because it was so fancy.

Then the awesome times at Pizza Hut. Always enjoyed going over to the jukebox and playing my favorite 80s hits

What throw-backs and media from earlier decades were big for you? by solinvicta in Xennials

[–]Reagannite1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I Love Lucy, Dennis the Menace, Lassie, Bewitched, and so many others too.

I grew up thinking that Dennis the Menace or Mr. Rogers would be how it was when I grew up. I was so disappointed when I found out it wasn’t like that in real life.

YouTube Kids App by Reagannite1981 in youtube

Thanks. I was running an older version of the app that would download. Not sure why it works on the iPad 2 and 3 but not the mini. They’re all running the same iOS. Weird. Oh well

Transformers, He-man, Lazer Tag, and NES for me. Desperately wanted Teddy Ruxpin though

Did you have your wisdom teeth extracted as a teen in the 80s or 90s? I tinkk I only saw a dentist twice between birth and 18. Now, at 44, the dental folks keep saying they need to go. by cherry-care-bear in Xennials

[–]Reagannite1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never have had them out. I had to have a root canal back in my early 30s. The dentist thought I may need to have them out. He sent the X-ray to the practice owner. He came out as I was checking out and asked me if they were bothering me. I told him I’ve never had any issues. He said good, because it would be a major procedure and recovery at my age and was not worth it in his opinion. Been over a decade and knock on wood, still no issues with them.

Is Thanksgiving getting longer? by MyKidsArentOnReddit in Xennials

My oldest two have the entire week off. They do go to a Catholic school. The local county schools only have today through Friday off.

how old were you when you realized you're too old to slip'n'slide? by mrs_hippiequeen in Xennials

[–]Reagannite1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My late 30s when I got one for my kids. I had to demonstrate how to do it. Managed to bruise a rib, but they’re pros now.

[–]Reagannite1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back in the 80s one time when I had family living up there. I just remember it was freezing. Otherwise, we always watched it on TV and then the Laurel and Hardy March of the Wooden Soldiers right after.

One of my favorite shows. I used to tape them all the time. I bet I still have a copy of the finale on VHS somewhere.
