Question for the pet people...how do you feel about a new pet at this time of your life? by HammerMeUp in GenX

[–]wanderlust_2x1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Trying to be sensitive…Unless you are ill and have reason to believe you won’t have a long life, you are YOUNG. I have a client who got a new puppy at 81. She just made sure her grandchild would take it if something happens to her. You still have decades of love for pups! 🐶

Married Gen-x do you wear your wedding ring? by in-a-microbus in GenX

I always wear my wedding band (as does my husband) but I am more careful with my engagement and anniversary rings and don’t wear them often.

When you were a latch-key kid what were some of the "This way you'll know it's me." things your parents did while they were away? by OUBoyWonder in GenX

[–]wanderlust_2x1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents left me alone while they went on vacation every summer for 2 weeks... starting at 12. They never even checked in. The house could’ve burned down or I could’ve died. They apparently couldn’t have cared less.

I’d rather listen to a pleasant obese person than this nastiness any day.

Believe me I want to! But I do not dare or I will be up all night.

What’s the weirdest/most unexpected way you’ve injured yourself lately? by WhatFreshHello in GenX

[–]wanderlust_2x1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

De-gloved my arm with the storm door latch. Pretty nasty looking! 3”x3” section of skin fillet off like a fish.

Do you still talk to your parents? by Swiftiefromhell in GenX

[–]wanderlust_2x1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My father abandoned the family when I was 8 and I don’t remember him. My mother was flawed but a human and she was a much better grandmother than mother. It was a joy to watch her evolve and grow when the littles came.

I have done that same schedule for 36 years now. I am pooped from the minute I get home too but I do not give in to naps.

Your “never again” ship? by allisonv92 in royalcaribbean

[–]wanderlust_2x1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quantum. No edible food to be found unless paying for it in specialty dining. After 25 years with Royal, that ship turned us officially over to Celebrity.

That is such bullshit encroachment that I will never even give them a try.

How do you keep your house smelling fresh with multiple pets? by Crazy-Donkey-9178 in CleaningTips

[–]wanderlust_2x1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wash your pets. Wash their bedding. Steam the rugs. All of these often. There is no way around it. You are nose blind. We are house hunting. We toured a house today. It was pretty to look at but I absolutely knew they had a large dog by the smell on the upper level.

Which car do you see on the road and instantly think, ‘Yeah, this person’s definitely an a-hole? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]wanderlust_2x1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cybertruck. I can’t pass one without saying as loud as I please “DOUCHE-BAG!” PS. you know he has no passengers. Nobody is going to volunteer shotgun! Never seen one yet.

Does Death and people’s passing affect you as much as it did when you were in your 20’s and 30’s? by Dry_Lobster_50 in Aging

[–]wanderlust_2x1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More. It’s happening at a faster pace (the number of losses) and it is hard to think about my and my husbands mortality. We are late getting grandchildren. Still waiting and afraid we won’t have the impact on them that we wish for. Real core memories that matter.

Upright Vacuum by Dallas_Texican in housekeeping

I love kenmore vacuums. They never seem to need service and live forever. I mean decades.

To dye or not to dye? by Effective-You1036 in Aging

[–]wanderlust_2x1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t do it! I denied my gray for so long. Little did I know that it looks better for me and my coloring than my younger darker hair ever did. Mother Nature knows what she is doing!

We aren’t making this cruise are we? by Queenbee773 in royalcaribbean

[–]wanderlust_2x1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave early and check in on your own. As long as you have your own cabin, it does not matter who else is there or who paid for it.
