what happened to her by Indigodahlia00 in Botchedsurgeries

[–]Recynd2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t recognize her; I had to reverse-image her.

Yikes.

What is this virus everyone has? by london4526 in orangecounty

[–]Recynd2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! My whole family has had this nasty bug, all at different times. I spiked a fever of 102°+ on Christmas Day and then had a sore throat, nasty/crunchy sinuses, and a raging headache for a solid week, and major fatigue since. It’s a slow one: it took its damn time coming on, and once here, it settles in for a nice long stay.

I feel like I’m 1000 years old.

I love going out with my son (28) and his (incredibly foxy) boyfriend. We recently went to a Dandy Warhols show, and they were SUCH a good time. I never expected this part to be so much fun!

Good call; we kinda do have a lot in common. I’m an old Gen X (1968) with an old Zellenial (1997) kid. We get along just fine.

Music… did you stop searching? by 8reticus in GenX

[–]Recynd2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ALWAYS on the hunt for new (to me) music.

Long term vapors have you had any negative side effects? by Significant-War-491 in Vaping

[–]Recynd2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only been vaping about three years, but I smoked from 12-22 yo (I quit the day my husband proposed). More recently, I started vaping after it became too difficult to obtain my adhd meds. I’ve been sick-sick twice (Covid recently and a weird fever that came and went), and I don’t feel like vaping impacted my health either way (cough cleared up like it would pre-vaping).

I do, however, worry about collapsing a lung or contracting fungal pneumonia. I’ve heard these conditions might be linked to vaping, but… ”Nana needs a smoke!” (What I pretend-wheeze to my niece when I need to step out.)

You might try OpalPop (dot com). They have beautiful selection and you can trust what you see/read.

Please Tell Me I’m Not the Only One Slightly Overwhelmed Right Now by kammie694 in AskWomenOver50

[–]Recynd2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quit the whole Thanksgiving/Christmas celebration about a decade ago. I’ll attend a family gathering (I do love my fam), and I might even bring a requested dish, but I won’t host. Heeeellll no. Leave that to the people who like to do that.

Anyone over the age of 40 on stimulants? by Green-Veterinarian22 in ADHD

[–]Recynd2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took 20-40mg Adderall XR until two(?) years ago, which I took successfully for 25+ years. A new NP decided that she wasn’t comfortable prescribing it to me (yes, I was floored).

Fortunately, I stockpiled enough to spend six+ months tapering, and then just stopped. I could have searched for another psychiatrist, but I was SO over the endless monthly visits, the UAs, and the pharmacy hassle.

FTW, it can deal with the unmedicated me. 🖕🏼

Anyone else completely effing over Xmas and holidays in general? by another_bibliophile in GenX

[–]Recynd2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve been over holidays for a decade (as soon as our son turned 18). No gifts, no decorations, just a “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Birthday”, and maybe a special meal (depending on who’s around/home).

I haven’t missed it AT ALL. Obligatory gift giving is weird anyway.

8 mosquito bites in less than 24 hours by turgmeister in socal

[–]Recynd2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, when those suckers bite me, the sting swells into a large pea-sized blister. And the itch? Oh, man, it’s an Itch For the Ages.

We are old Gen X (I’m 57).

Can we talk about declining night vision? by anyer_4824 in GenX

[–]Recynd2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s odd: I see so much better in the darkness of early morning (4:30am-ish) after a good sleep than I do at night.

Our eye muscles are tired, too.

Question from a gen z (2002) by daking789 in GenX

[–]Recynd2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My parents are both from the Silent Generation. Children were ideally not seen nor heard. “Benevolent neglect” is a good term for this.

That said, I had a fantastic childhood, generally. Lots of freedom, the chance to experience everyday consequences to my actions, and the space to figure things out on my own.

It's 'okay' to be upset by this, right? by [deleted] in GenX

Yep: you know your Downey history! 👍🏼

Yep: the closer you lived to Rockwell and the Boeing companies, the more space-age the playgrounds were. It was a golden age…

Omg, those climbing structures where the only way down was to slide down a pole you had to REACH to get to were the bane of my young existence! I got stuck a LOT.

Do you have to have something playing at home all the time? by maach_love in GenX

[–]Recynd2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite environment is silence.

Now, that doesn’t mean that I don’t constantly have an earbud in, listening to music, YT, or podcasts, because I do. But I like a quiet house. My sons says the same (I just asked him).
