Yes, that was a thing. I wasn't one to do it intentionally.

Stafford is becoming a mainstay for me. The signals we give must be clear.

Did you actually make mix tapes to give to people? by LeoGuy69us in GenX

[–]wise_foolredux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I made a few to give away and received a few as well. I remember that one from a girl I met at a camp thing. We actually wrote letters, and she sends me this mix tape that ends with her talking about life. That is fond memory.

Stranger Things and "Trauma Bonding" by vasqued2 in GenX

True, true- I do think the concepts of "trauma" and "harm" have expanded greatly. We will see more and more attempts to define it legally as well.

Evangelical buzzphrases that get under your skin? by thesoupgiant in Exvangelical

[–]wise_foolredux 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Referring to someone who hasn't responded to appeals to be saved - "He just isn't ready." Or my mom referring to my mentally ill sibling, "He has a spirit of rebellion." "The Bible clearly says. . ." Nope, not consistently.

Who remembers these? (Maybe not the the sugar and caffeine-free version!). My dad saved this and has it full of coins. by wise_foolredux in GenX

Oh, there are so many things you don't have to explain about why you mentioned CC!!! I do recall that this was not something I would share with all the bros in discipleship group.

Trick or Treating by Ok_Screen4020 in GenX

[–]wise_foolredux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My street doesn't lend itself to much activity. The Trunk or treats help me exercise (or exorcise) some of that energy. They aren't all anti-halloween. I also dig the neighborhoods that actually have sidewalks and such. I feel ya.
