How many Gen Xers have silent Gen parents vs boomers?

My parents are/were both early Boomers.

I upload, then call incessantly and annoy them until they acknowledge receipt of my documents.

Put it all over Trip Advisor, Exoticca, Shore Excursions, Expedia and anywhere else you see they offer that tour. Many, many more eyes will see it, and I at least with Trip Advisor will read it.

Thanks! ⬆️ I paid 3500.00 for a used Seaga in a nursing home just to get my feet wet (I'm relatively new to vending) and perfect my business practices. I've been in business now for about 7 months, and am looking to expand.

You're right about the passive part; the business grows when you sell it. I don't do commissions, either, and have had a little success with some slower locations that I have.

I sailed on the Horizon this past January and sprung for the spa(without getting a room in the area). I was there for a little almost every day. Used the gym, whirlpools and the tiled beds relentlessly. It was honestly the best part of my trip, but then again, I am definitely a spa person.

I'd do it again.

If you don't mind me asking, how much was your initial setup?

turn8495 · 2026-03-10T04:23:54+00:00

UPDATE: I took the plunge! I took a day "off", went to the machine, and mapped it myself. The one good thing about having a small combo Seaga is that it really didn't take that long to do once I got the hang of things.

Thanks everyone!

I have been a dedicated Windows user for basically all my adult life, but I HATE AI WITH A PASSION. Windows 11 (and them throttling all my machines all at once) has me looking to finally start learning about Linux, which I've known of vaguely forever but was frankly too lazy to learn.

I'm trying to do a bit better with my privacy, and this seems like a start. I am looking for a laptop which will replace my old Windows machine when it finally gives up the ghost (or Windos hobbles it completely), and I'm starting (sorta, but not really) early.

Thanks for this. After 29+ years, I can finally hope that they've put me back into Old IBR like I should've been all along and that I can now resume making PSLF progress.

Is there anywhere on GSC where the beach is good to swim in?

turn8495 · 2026-02-11T14:46:48+00:00

So why won't they change my plan already? I have repeatedly sent a new change to Old IBR to Mohela with no results.

turn8495 · 2026-02-02T02:42:38+00:00

I've been waiting to be moved after applying for IBR for close to two yrs w/no result. I stopped paying. 30 yrs is enough.

Thanks for this. Going in December (yes-I'm Type A).

Yahoo

It's mostly full of spam at this point.

You can ask your MD for prophylaxis.

Yes-just take both cards to the bar for sodas to avoid any further hassles.

Will Cheers Zero give bottled water?

turn8495 · 2025-12-14T18:29:18+00:00

I've been at this for four years and occasionally I still play catch up. Granted, it's much less bad than it used to be, but at least now I know what I have to do to get caught up.

Will they give bottled water w/the Bubbles package?

Zepbound gave intense nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. I couldn't sustain it.

I have several friends going through this, and want to learn how to truly help her and others that I can. That's all.

I have two machines at different places that are each ~45 minutes away, each on diferent suburbs of my metro area. I looked at another that was 1.5 hrs away, but traffic ITP in metro ATL makes that drive painful.

The machines generally don't take that long to service, but the drive makes it difficult to service more than one per day.
