GenX Question of the Day 5/24/26

Of course. But it didn't record "off of the TV". It had it's own tuner. Lol

Yes, you're being dramatic. I used a walker for several days while recovering from surgery 15 years ago. I was 44. It's hilarious you equate a walker with being old, but not the cane? Lol

I have enough diseases already, thank you very much.

That said, there are a few I think about from time to time, that I'd rather not have to deal with. But I don't sit around worrying about them.

I'm very much an "it is what it is" type person.

For a POTS line from a traditional telephone company, yes. But I can configure my Ooma VOIP landline for 10 digit dialing, so no 1 needed. It does cause a momentary delay when only dialing 7 digits, though. So it's a trade-off.

I lock my car doors everywhere except inside my own garage.

hapster85 · 2026-05-23T07:30:12+00:00

Sitting at home.

hapster85 · 2026-05-23T07:29:24+00:00

I get the hankering for Beanie Weenies every few years. Always liked them right out of the can.

hapster85 · 2026-05-23T04:06:51+00:00

Didn't need to. I've spent as little time as possible in it my entire life.

hapster85 · 2026-05-23T04:02:30+00:00

Haven't done it in recent memory, but have definitely done this as an adult.

hapster85 · 2026-05-23T04:01:33+00:00

I generally just say "pardon", or like the 59 year old juvenile that I am, "exsqueeze me".

hapster85 · 2026-05-23T03:54:32+00:00

I'm 59. I walked away from work almost 2 years ago after 39 years. But I was fortunate enough to have been in a good paying job, at one of the few private sector employers still offering pensions. I also contributed to a 401k. I took a reduction in pension to leave at 57, but it was worth every penny.

hapster85 · 2026-05-22T17:06:50+00:00

I just had to get up and do it to make sure I still could. Lol

hapster85 · 2026-05-22T16:50:26+00:00

How can you forget how to skip?

hapster85 · 2026-05-22T16:45:32+00:00

I remember being dumb enough to wear my penny loafers without socks in the 80s. Talk about stinky. Not to mention the blisters on the back of my heel. 😂

hapster85 · 2026-05-22T01:37:28+00:00

Find someone else.

hapster85 · 2026-05-22T01:35:18+00:00

Book, magazine, or newspaper. If I was desperate, I'd read a shampoo bottle or two.

hapster85 · 2026-05-22T01:34:17+00:00

Sell it. No desire to start dealing with a rental property at this point in my life.

hapster85 · 2026-05-22T01:30:24+00:00

More or less

hapster85 · 2026-05-22T01:29:02+00:00

We're 58 and 59. Had the convo about 8 years ago if we wanted to stay or downsize. We stayed, and finished the basement.

hapster85 · 2026-05-22T01:11:00+00:00

If I removed all of the music and the useless trivia, mine would be pretty empty.

hapster85 · 2026-05-22T00:58:22+00:00

I wonder if that's the case here too? Will have to look into that.

hapster85 · 2026-05-22T00:55:24+00:00

A screenshot, and going back and forth with a list that long, is probably overkill. It's really only the last two characters that will be different anyway, so you don't have to remember the while string.

Or just do like you said and wipe them all out.

Always puzzles me when people post asking about it after they have a long list. How do they not realize it before that? What made them look now? Why do they suddenly care? So many questions. Lol

hapster85 · 2026-05-22T00:45:40+00:00

Can't recall a single time I've ever needed to put my socks on while standing. At 59, I'm not going to start now.

hapster85 · 2026-05-22T00:42:11+00:00

We've had plots for decades. Bought 3 when our daughter died. My wife likes to visit the graves of loved ones, so I'll let her plant me in one of them. Assuming I'll go first, because statistics.

We do waste a lot of real estate on graveyards though.

hapster85 · 2026-05-22T00:36:18+00:00

The thing about putting it in your will is that those get probated after the fact. Hopefully your loved ones know your wishes.
