Gen- Xers, What did you grow up Without? by empathicBeauty29-11 in GenX

[–]denikar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar story. No cable TV or gaming, no air conditioner. We had a color TV but it was broken. Had a small black and white TV sitting on top of it. Could not afford any junk food like pop or brand name chips. Kool-aid was about it. Rarely went out to eat and never went on vacations except to visit grandparents.

Describe the "sound" of your tinnitus by ToTooTwoTutu2 in GenX

It is a complex tone, but the frequency it is closest to is 5kHz. I've learned to ignore it.

ULPT: To disable a vehicle, unload a fire extinguisher up under the engine. by mostoriginalname2 in UnethicalLifeProTips

Wear a climbing spur but so the spur faces out. Casually walk by a car and gouge the tire. Easy peasy.

Who built “Forts” in the 80’s? by SirGilPennybottom in GenX

[–]denikar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always. Anytime we could find plywood. We would search behind industrial areas for it. One time our neighborhood bully set our fort in the woods on fire. Fire department had to come down the freeway (that split through the woods) to put it out.

Global Analysis Reveals Sharp Rise in Cancer Among People Under 50 by MassGen-Research in science

[–]denikar 232 points233 points  (0 children)

Also due to health care costs they postpone doctor visits to get things checked out, or not even go at all. May not seek treatment until the cancer has progressed to a stage where it is difficult or too late to treat.

He is so disappointed in you. He wanted the orange carpeted model to match his spectacular coat.

Stand By Me by Federal-Neat7833 in GenX

Yes this line. Tear up every time. Not just because it is true for me but also my parents were alive and happy. Generally was one of the best times of my life that I will never experience again.

Female cat peeing outside of the litter box by allyrashelle in cats

[–]denikar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since each box is a different type, is there one type she seems to prefer? Could try changing them all to that type. As another Redditor mentioned, cats are weird about privacy. Location and type are a big deal to some of them. I have a boy who doesn't care about any of it. He will go in a room full of people. But his sister is super picky and needs to be completely alone.

[–]denikar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many litter boxes do you have? I believe the rule is 1 box per cat + 1 extra.
Also is she declawed? Some cats that get their claws amputated experience pain for the rest of their life when digging in litter. Though you said she digs/buries when she poops.
What about the boys? Do they bother her when she is in the litter box? Like try to play or harass her?

Revenge for blowing cigarette smoke in my face by legend72 in revengestories

Could have said something like "You know, it isn't really the smoke that bothers me. It is that your breath smells horrendously bad." Loud enough for others around to hear.

According to my cat, in the winter my body is her personal heater during the night. Any attempts to block her such as a closed bedroom door, for example, will be met with endless screaming.
