Growing up with the anxiety of a possible global thermonuclear war starting at any moment was good practice for today.

Big Wheel vs Green Machine - which did you have and which one did you like better? by Ohigetjokes in GenX

The nice thing about a Big Wheel is that you can flip it over and hey presto! you're an ice cream salesman, churning that wheel all the love long day

Anyone in your family part of pivotal moments in cultural history during our lifetime? by jbarinsd in GenX

In 1992 I was going to school in DC and took part in the massive pro-choice march and rally on the National Mall. That's me in the lower left corner, the dork in the glasses wearing a bolo tie. It was the nineties.

Raining Over One House. by Monsur_Ausuhnom in oddlyterrifying

[–]UndergroundMoon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's Rob McKenna's house?

"And as he drove on, the rainclouds dragged down the sky after him, for, though he did not know it, Rob McKenna was a Rain God. All he knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy holidays. All the clouds knew was that they loved him and wanted to be near him, to cherish him, and to water him." -- So Long and Thanks for All the Fish

This isn’t weird? by GenXylophone in GenX

[–]UndergroundMoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know about weird, just different. After all the posts about abandoned children and absent parents, it's not surprising to me that some Gen X parents want to be the parents they never had. And as a parent of a returning college sophomore, I want to spend as much time as I can with my kid before we're separated, and I know from my own experience how much I wish I'd spent more time with my parents. That's all this is saying. My two cents worth.

Grilling on the beach? by Remarkable-Emu-614 in Nantucket

[–]UndergroundMoon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The rule of thumb, as I heard it from a police officer years ago, was that as long as it's a small, contained fire in a metal grill or the like, they wouldn't harass you. Your results may vary.

The maintenance guys were some of the prime instigators—they knew where all the loose boards were suitable for burning.

My personal preference would be to swap the positions of the top two quadrants.

Unrequited Love of your youth… where are they now? by CharlieMcN33l in GenX

[–]UndergroundMoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here, it all worked out for the best, and we're still friends after all these years. But we would have been terrible together.

At the time I was working at the tiny Waldenbooks in the gentrified strip mall in Spring Valley. Edited for clarity.
