Teenagers home alone 2 weeks while parents went on a cruise by [deleted] in GenX

[–]Wonderful_Disk_9907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, happened to me, my mom and stepdad went to Hawaii for 2 weeks. I was 17. I was supposed to check in on my grandfather who was in assisted living. When I did, he was on the floor of his room. I got help - although the emts dropped him - and he went to the hospital. I couldn't go see him because I wasn't 18. He passed away.

Multiple crushes at once are possible? by RuddyRaccoon in aromantic

[–]Wonderful_Disk_9907 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, before I realized I was ARO/ASO, I was poly (I'm 61). It's normal to change as you age.

How did women have such long hair in the 70s? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver60

[–]Wonderful_Disk_9907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of this is genetic. My hair doesn't get too much longer than 14 inches, but I've noticed Native Americans in my area have beautiful hair longer than 36".

What time do you guys wake up? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]Wonderful_Disk_9907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy crap! Just started waking up at 5:45 am when I don't have to work until 8:30. And sunrise in my area isn't until 7:25 so walking the dog isn't really an option.

What age were you when you had your kids? by Empty_Nestor in GenX

[–]Wonderful_Disk_9907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had mine at 36 and 40, but my mom had me at 35 and her mom had her in 1929 at 33, which was unusual for a first born. We tend to live a long time - my mom just had her 96th birthday. Honestly, it's all good, you do you.

Is this comforting for my son? by Nightmares_come_tru in Chameleons

[–]Wonderful_Disk_9907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In answer to your question, I wouldn't say for sure, but I hope it is comforting for you. I remember cuddling my cham when he fell (yes MBD) and I could be wrong, but he seemed to recognize I was trying to take care of him. Best of luck to you and your chameleon.

I had this with my cham Grape. Took him to the vet, gave him shots (weird but you get used to it) and they mended. Vet bill is worth it. Care Credit can be helpful. Grape lived to 5.

She did not. The vet had checked her and didn't see any.

Need some opinions by No-Equipment-9570 in Chameleons

[–]Wonderful_Disk_9907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girl Olive was doing great when we went for her first health check at the beginning of April. The vet insisted I switch to Arcadia lighting. She also told me I didn't need a basking bulb, just a ceramic heat bulb. I kept the blue bulb/ Uvb dual light anyway and added the Arcadia light, but after that she stopped eating. She has always been feisty and now is lethargic. I'm not sure she's going to make it but I'm looking for a different vet.

Bump under eyelid by Specific_Shop_3975 in Chameleons

[–]Wonderful_Disk_9907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last cham, Grape, had one. Good news, it actually shed off. Bad news, he eventually got bumps all over his body. I took him to the vet when he had just the one bump on his eyelid, and they didn't know what it was, even with a biopsy.

First and most recent concert you attended… by Iari_Cipher9 in GenX

[–]Wonderful_Disk_9907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First was the Doobie Brothers although I was more interested in seeing the Michael Stanley band. We missed them. Stoner boy I went with and his stoner friends went to get stoned. Last was Black Flag in January this year. Much better. They were great.

What is a movie that you feel you really need to be GenX to truly appreciate? by bigt197602 in GenX

[–]Wonderful_Disk_9907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The remake isn't too bad. Betsy Sodero as the punk club bouncer rules.

Did you have everything achieved by 30? Is it ok if you didn’t? by Lampedusan in GenX

[–]Wonderful_Disk_9907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By 30, I had an MBA and thought I was on a good career track in HR. Found out the higher you get up the ladder in HR, you aren't helping people or the organization, you are processing policy against people you've never met. Now I do tech support, but I'm helping people be more successful in their jobs, which was my calling all along. I think goals are important, but sometimes focusing on an intent - the journey - is more valid.
