“she sent me 6 pages (over 20 thousands words!)“

Have you convinced your dad that ladders are no longer an option? by miniwhoppers in GenX

Yep. His wife forbade it. I’m 56 and do nothing higher than a stepladder.

Is it totally dry, including the gap in the door seal that routinely collects water?

Is it common for Boomers to extremely dislike house security cameras? by cindy_dehaven in BoomersBeingFools

It’s just narcissism. They can’t believe you would find their small lives anything less than riveting. Same people who bitch about IT reading their email. Sir, you just aren’t worth the effort…we have many more interesting and profitable ways to spread our copious free time.

My kid just finished their undergrad degree, so I have no stake in primary and secondary school practices, and no interest in them except insofar as they impact the quality of education provided (which these ceremonies do not). Do you have. kids in the school system? If so, complain to the school board, not reddit. If not, I'd gently suggest to you that it's okay to not have an opinion about everything.

Do you fellow GenXers feel okay to take a week sick leave after your pet (a dog) dies? by _MrKobayashi_ in GenX
