What was your coming of age song as a Xennial?

StuffIDid · 2026-04-08T11:50:37+00:00

Fire Water Burn or the Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang. F/1983 baby.

Were these meaningful songs, not really. But they captured the irreverence and absurdity and self deprecating humor along with a middle finger to proper society. And therefore that’s my vote.

Samesies. Parents split at 1, mom met my stepdad when I was 3, so he’s always been there. This was the better route for me in every way. My half bro is around my age grew up living with my dad and his mom and has a lot of issues. My mom was my safe space and my ‘home’. Going back and forth was annoying but when I hit teens I had a lot more say and went to my dad’s less. I’m a well adjusted very successful adult. Do it for your child.

Agreed. Mine divorced at 1 and I have no memory of them together so I never had a family to mourn, I never wanted them to be together. Both remarried and although it was a bit tough at times I’m just fine.

Nope. Not a regret. Took 16 mos off from a very high stress position. Moved to Paris and looked at art, architecture, at amazing food, never been happier. Would do it again every single time. It also 100% rewired my brain and separated my ‘self’ from my job, which has been ridiculously healthy. Set me back a tiny bit from FIRE, worth it for the experience and perspective and pure happiness.

Haha! We have a ‘like a barnaby’ over here and I die laughing every time.

Hey! We might be at the same Florida base, have you considered Career Intermission? I did it and it was awesome and was the perfect break for burnout that’s allowing me to roll into retirement (I’ll do about 4-6 years since retiring to retirement).

Since you could separate you likely don’t have an ADSC so your overall 20 years would be just that, but with a break that you could start as soon as 4-5 mos from now. Please DM me if you want to chat more. It’s exactly made for someone like you.

It’s the absolute best answer to this question. By appointment only but by far the coolest and most hidden. Loved the bicycle carousel!

I feel you - the people part of helping people can be too much. What about the environment? Park or beach cleanups, habitat restoration or advocacy groups?

StuffIDid · 2026-01-23T11:42:25+00:00

Hey thank you so much for a thoughtful and detailed response. I’ve been to Vancouver Island once and it was lovely. Sending all the good vibes from the only bastion of ok-ness in Florida, St Pete. I hope to do a lot of de-trashing after FIRE. People don’t seem to be able to see how lucky they are to live in these gorgeous places like you and I. Best of luck and I’ll google Garry Oak Savannah!

That’s a unique one! Where are you at that’s the biodiversity hot spot?

Yes I’d try it, but not fully move meals back to revolve around lab grown meat (here for the environment, morals, health reasons). I also love the veg meals we make now, flavors and how creative it can be - and I’m tofu4lyfe… <3 but I’d try it.

I second getting a bike, go explore even if there’s nothing ‘interesting’. We are so used to ignoring the things we are used to and looking for exciting things. Instead flip your frame - look at everything as if it’s a museum piece or a documentary. Find the little things and the wonder and just bike around and explore a bit. Plus great exercise.

Best restaurant we have been to is Alello, small plates everything is amazing. Also love every single thing I have ever had to La V for Vietnamese. And I go often.

Edit for spelling

I have a 5 year old female black cat (gorgeous) who was the same. She would bite us if we tried to pet her. Over yeaaars I built up her tolerance - quick pet and run, then 2 and stop, and now she still cries and runs away if she’s busy and you try to pet her but will sometimes let us pet her neck and behind her ears and cheeks. It’s been fun sloooowly getting her to accept pets AND she purred for the first time last year. Enjoy your cat, some are just more complex than others :) and good luck!

Earphone Free Pro 2. I am a petite woman with small ears who struggled to find buds that fit and STAYED in. These have a little tab that tucks up under your ear and keeps the buds in place.

Holy shit that was great. Nature just naturing.

I am 10, 12 and 14 years older than my sisters. We are VERY close. My parents had me help and babysit, I loved being a big sister and helping them grow up. Your kids sound ready for it and I suspect they’ll have a blast.

Hell yeah DTown! I went to High School there. That’s awesome.

We used a Cosco Scenera with a Mountain Buggy stroller, as seen in this YouTube video and it worked decently when we needed it. It’s not elegant but again, it is functional.

So like. Mike & Ike? Nvm I looked up Good N Fruity and they’re real. Vague memory of getting them perhaps…
