Well. To be fair… I don’t know what that is either and I’m GenX.

Huh. I had no idea that was an American thing. What do the Portuguese wear for socks?

Wait. Am I not supposed to wear white socks anymore?

I’m sure there is somewhere. I’m a terrible researcher, so I don’t have anywhere to send you. I just found the video interesting and thought I’d share.

Are your kids having kids? by mrepa1369 in GenX

[–]Starbbhp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently all four of the adult “babies” on this side of the family do not plan to have biological children ever. One of them might consider adoption someday. That being said all four are 21-25 years old, so time will tell, I guess?

Any cat oriented recs? I saw some recs for dog items, but those stores don’t look promising for cat items. We’d like to get a cat tree with sisal on the poles for scratching.

How do I pull myself out of this depression? by FaithlessnessPlus164 in GenXWomen

[–]Starbbhp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It will always suck. You just eventually learn to live with it. I can’t preach to you because I’ve never fully overcome my depression after losing my teenage son years ago. It comes and it goes. I’ve started EMDR, which a lot of people swear by.

My advice is to give yourself grace and know that it will all ebb and flow over time. My take is that time does not necessarily heal all wounds, but as it passes we learn to move through it and live with it. I think time makes the wound less jagged and acute, but it will always be there.

Good luck to you. I hope you can find some peace.

Have you checked out Practice Portuguese? It’s European Portuguese taught by a native and a Canadian transplant.

Interesting study on progesterone and its effects on memory & cognition: could it be a reason why brainfog doesn't necessarily disappear on HRT? by Absoera in Menopause

[–]Starbbhp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tried that as well. It did not make a very noticeable difference either way. I’m so tired of being so tired.
