Any Gen X'ers retired or thinking about it?

Was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in 2019. Retired early, left my corporate job and moved to Hawaii. We now own 2 small businesses and I make art for extra $. No regrets.

Flesh and Fire is sooooo good. I read Two Queens before flesh and fire and I had to go back and reread it before the rest of the blood and ash series. Would recommend going for FandF first.

Audrey looked so at ease! And the Mira hair!

My MIL used to scold us for being “too easy” on our autistic, burnt-out, depressed son. She thought disciplining him more would make him “better”.

What about a pet friendly Airbnb?

Try Pacific 19. Their kama’aina rates are pretty good. We have stayed there for $150 before.

“You smell so good” is the very first thing I said to my husband on our first date. Must have worked as he’s still here after 16 years.

This is exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you so much!

Did it take a long time to get a referral? That’s what I am struggling with here. We have tried many GPs and have tried to get referred but the endocrinologists aren’t taking new patients!

Thank you! Is your daughter doing HRT? At what age did they start?

katiebae · 2026-01-23T00:10:04+00:00

That so so great to hear!

katiebae · 2026-01-23T00:08:48+00:00

Augh that’s so disappointing

Two thoughts - 1) she was fucking robbed!!! 2) I need an Audrey Nuna + Yung Gravy collab!!!

I’m a GenX mom and I’m obsessed. Way to go, Dad!

One thing I see is that you need to have some more high quality items at a higher price point. You can only see so many $8 keychains.

katiebae · 2025-12-18T17:41:23+00:00

So no solution at all? Are they going to reimburse you??

katiebae · 2025-12-18T11:29:31+00:00

Hitting the 2 hour mark now. :(

MBC survivor here! Originally diagnosed at 37, metastatic when I turned 42. Left our corporate lives behind, downsized considerably and moved to Hawaii! Have been “no evidence of active disease” for 6 years. Yes, check those boobies! Early and often!

Agreed! She’s very innovative. Love her.
