  • As a gen X, 47, part of the latch key generation. You just did things yourself and became resilient yourself. Parents always had a set of phone numbers to call if needed. You had access to a phone book but mostly you just called your friends and got a group together to do something with. Go fishing, Ride bikes, hangout, pickup baseball sandlot style, basketball, swimming, or Nintendo when it was hot out during the summer.

    And we all taught each other stuff, some of us knew how to change a bike tire, some of us knew how to tie fishing knots and what baits to use. And we all had our way of getting some stuff for free or discounted stuff from a parents business, restraunt or arcade.

    We all knew who’s dads had porno mags and where they were hidden. And on occasion we could sneak some cigarettes or beer.

    There would be days during the summer I’d be out of the house before my parents and they wouldn’t see me well past sunset. Shit was just easier and the world less scary I guess.

    As far as driving in cities we didn’t live in, I have no idea how my parents found shit. Lincoln, grand island I can find things easily without Gps. And any rural town with 300 miles of them. Omaha I can’t find shit without Gps

    I struggle with my daughter because her mother is afraid of everything and that’s been passed to her. Some things I get, and I’m glad she has a phone with her, I’d like her to take more initiative in finding things to do herself and I push her and my wife to let her be more independent




  • This would have got me banned from reddit but the feeling is mutual towards the right. Tired of Dems not fighting back and taking the high road when they are in charge. I want them to abuse every ounce of power the republicans have if they ever get the chance again.

    No longer falling for this states rights bs, we will impose the federal governments will on states like Texas. No more partisanship.

    I want pure unadulterated threats and overabuse of power with zero remorse or regret. I want people who homeschool their kids to make it nearly impossible for them to do so by not meeting standards and forced to send them to public, no more indoctrination by retards. . I want churches taxed, single payer healthcare mandatory while the healthcare insurance industry burns to the ground and their stocks worthless.

    I want those who refuse to do their job as government employees imprisoned for stealing taxpayer funds disguised as salary.

    Owning more than 2 homes or notes is taxed 300% beyond the second. And owning more than 20% of apartments in a municipality is taxed as well. It’s time boomers lose their nest egg.

    I want a new military branch that’s not under the rule of the president that will enforce the laws that the law can’t enforce and clearly violates the constitution and has power above all the other branches.



  • My problem is doni have time for new games, we have a switch for my daughter and we barely play it. I like Nintendo games but I have a hard enough time completing any game. I think there’s one or two games in my entire Xbox collection I’ve actually completed.

    My problem is only having maybe an hour or two late evening I’ll play something for a week, try something else because I get tired of playing the same thing then forget what I was doing in the other game and want to start over.

    If I was going to get a handheld I think I’d much prefer the new Asus rog that Xbox worked on



  • Lol. Last Christmas my wife saw a ad for something dollar tree had on sale, the irony in That comment, like super cheat wrapping paper. I forget

    I’ve never stepped foot in one. I went in with her, browsed it’s 4 aisles and it’s super discounted frozen aisles that I wouldn’t even feed my dog. And said we are going and never bring me to one of these stores again.

    Like the empathy I felt for the poor souls that had to work let alone shop there because it’s the only thing they can find and or afford . I think I’d prefer being homeless.



  • Like a town population 500 or less not within a hour drive of a city.

    I live in Nebraska grew up in a village of 30 people, went to school in a town of 2500. Live currently in a town of 300.

    Edit - since I received some upvotes and I’m no longer at my daughter’s softball game. I wanted to add when I was in school 30 some years ago, my geography teacher told us Nebraska actually didn’t have towns due to population requirements that there wasn’t one that actually defined a town, it’s was technically city or village. Whether that’s still true or not I have no idea.



  • Not at home this weekend. Can’t remember amounts but AI might be able to help you. Crockpot 8 hours on low. Chicken broth, onion, potatoes, bacon, ham if you want it, add cream cheese 30 minutes before it’s done

    Crockpot Thin slices steak chopped, beef broth, beef bouillon cube, tomato paste, corn, black beans, onions, finely chopped green and red pepper, jalapeno, packet of fajita seasoning, chili powder, and cayenne pepper to your liking this is what you will want to be careful with. . Edit and diced tomatoes
