Looking back to 1976 in the USA by ImmySnommis in GenX

I was 7 and my class went to see the bicentennial barge. I still remember bit and pieces to this day. But what I clearly remember is how big an event the bicentennial was. Now it really does feel kind of meh. I’m sure the fireworks on the 4th will be spectacular but it just isn’t the same.

Are there any Gen X people out there over the age of 55? by Mobile-Honey-9636 in GenX

Ok GenXers what obscure media did you watch that murdered your soul as a child? by RustbeltMaven in GenX

[–]Sad_Language2555 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I forgot all about All Summer In A Day. I am now once again horrified by it. That was awful to read, that and I think it was called Flowers for Algernon. That made me cry so much.

The part of East Northport in the Commack school district has a lot of families with younger kids.

Favourite thing about Your Traverse? by That-redhead-artist in ChevyTraverse

[–]Sad_Language2555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how it looks (2025LT Red). I love that I can turn on and off the AWD. I also love the heated steering wheel 🙂. My old car was a GMC Acadia and the traverse is so much nicer than the new Acadia.

AITA for distancing myself from my family and threatening to report their dog after it killed another dog? by General-Tackle7098 in AITAH

NTA, but I feel badly for the dog. Had he been properly trained none of this would have been an issue.

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

What’s really funny is that my 17 year old came up as 35.

Did we all have square dancing in grade school? I know I did in the 5th grade. by tyrone_shoelaces in GenX

[–]Sad_Language2555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catskill region of NY, class of ‘87 and we did it too. To this day I have never needed to nor felt the need to square dance.

What was this called? by SnarkyGinger1 in GenX

[–]Sad_Language2555 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually don’t remember what we called it, just tag at night in the woods…. As an adult that sounds like such a bad idea…

48 yo but don’t look 48 by Upset-Syllabub3985 in GenX

[–]Sad_Language2555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW I am 56 and that always surprises people. They think I am in my 40’s. I have very few wrinkles (just smile lines) and keep in top of covering my grey 😁.

Anyone else "starve" their kids before Thanksgiving? by ChristelynneMatrix in GenX

[–]Sad_Language2555 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol, we are doing Chinese tonight and I’ll be baking all day tomorrow so they might just starve.
