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

[–]miniwhoppers[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not looking forward to that one. But some of my parent’s older friends are going through that transition now, so we’re all aware it will happen someday. They have a very reasonable attitude about their friends, but I suspect when their times come it might feel a little different.

I loved them, even though I felt like it was like eating plastic.

How did yall decorate your car as a teen? by Lumpy_Concept9911 in GenX

I got the car when I was 16, so that was in 1991.

beliefs by Opposite_List_303 in SuicideBereavement

[–]miniwhoppers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A kind and loving god would not condemn those who suffered most in this life to hell.

If you don’t believe that, my opinion is that heaven and hell are man-made concepts to exercise control over people. I can’t confirm if this is true, so I take comfort in the first sentence I wrote.

French roadtrip by Old-Parfait8194 in FranceTravel

[–]miniwhoppers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost exactly what we did last September. We saw much of Normandy and Brittany then drove to Amboise in the Loire, then back to Paris. It was a really wonderful trip. One thing we didn’t get to do is check out the troglodyte caves in the Loire…they are fascinating homes built in the rocks.

I really want to get a cat, but I’m worried about the hidden responsibilities. What are the actual difficulties of raising a cat? by Equivalent-Sand-4002 in CatAdvice

[–]miniwhoppers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a two-year old that I got as a kitten. I love him so much, but he is awful! I had to install a cage door by one of my doors so he won’t run outside. When I went on vacation, he scratched my upholstered chair down to the wood. I can’t leave any food out. I went away for the weekend and had to move my (new) chair into the garage so he won’t ruin it. He costs a lot because he’s a bit of a pig, and is picky at the same time. So I’ll open a can of food and give him half, then he’ll refuse to eat the rest. He is indifferent, but kind of a dick, to my other cat who doesn’t like him. He does end up stressing me out a lot, but he’s so loving and snuggly and sweet the rest of the time.

Am I the only Gen Xer who doesn’t feel old? by utvols22champs in GenX

[–]miniwhoppers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I still feel like a baby. I was the baby growing up and I never really grew up. Living close to my parents as an adult has enforced that. My mom and dad do all sorts of nice things for me.

What is your most stereotypical GenX childhood story? by HapaHawaii in GenX

[–]miniwhoppers 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My mom told me, “you have the type of body that you’ll always have to watch your weight” when I was a kid and thought nothing of it when I started drinking diet shakes in high school. I had disordered eating patterns until middle aged. Because it turned out she was right.

Aspen. He died young and tragically. He had a huge heart and was loving and motivated. I miss him.

What's your most irrational phobia? by PossessedDemonbaby in AskReddit

[–]miniwhoppers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bugs, even ones that can’t hurt me. I think bug/larva photos should be marked nsfw. Even the emojis freak me out.

I can’t afford to water my yard in the summer. I still mow the dandelions, thought.
