re: Today in the Gen X is getting old dept
Posted by go_tigres on 4/25/25 at 11:40 pm
Watched my oldest boy get married a few weeks ago. My oldest daughter informed me Easter Sunday that she’s pregnant. I turn 50 in 2 months.
My youngest child starts kindergarten in August and will only be 5 years older than my soon to be grandchild.
And I’m pretty sure I have a gout flare up in my very near future.
I’m reminded frequently that I’m getting old. But I’ll be damned if I’m not getting better at the same time.

I had a Hisense at my old house but bought all new Samsungs when we moved. The Hisense was still working great when we moved and it had been up 3 or so years.
The new “top of the line” Samsung shite the bed after year one. Conditions wise, the Hisense would catch a little rain if the wind was blowing in from the south meanwhile the Samsung has been treated like royalty. Like women, sometimes the cheaper ones work harder

Especially after waiting an hour to get in because of the bag search, then I usually have the good fortune to sit/stand next to the smelliest group of folks there.
Much like a live sporting event. I love LSU, but my days of roasting in the sun next to Billy bob and big Bertha are over. I’ll watch from my recliner with the ac blowing and the drinks flowing.

We’ve been going to Pensacola Beach for the last few years. Nary a purple hair to be seen. Doesn’t have the riff raff like Destin either. If there’s a fund I could contribute too that will keep PB freak-free, I’d be happy to.

Kind of surprised no one has mentioned Jonathon Sullivan.
Aaron Brooks continues to be my most disliked Saint. The backwards play sealed his fate with me.

Our Phenom 100 is roughly $3000 an hour, but that’s planned ahead. I’d imagine 50% more for rushed service.

I was sold this huge crock o’shite, too. Probably 5 or 6 during a hurricane induced power loss, my mom made me cereal with powdered milk. Spit that shite right out, and yes, I got spanked for spitting out “good food” but I’ll be damned if I ever let that crap pass my lips again.

re: Have you ever almost died?
Posted by go_tigres on 4/10/25 at 12:07 am
Several.
Like most kids, I was a dumbass. Three times I dove into the deep end with no clue how to swim. The first time was at a public pool in New Iberia. I was 6’ish. Climbed up to the high platform and jumped in. Remember vividly sinking while looking up to see if the lifeguard was coming. That was so fun I did it again later that summer at the pink flamingo in Biloxi. Thankfully aunt saw me and dove in fully clothed.
One of the first times I drove over the new bridge I was behind a cane truck in one hell of a rain storm. Had my wipers on high when a piece of cane got stuck on my windshield completely knocking off my wiper. Drove the rest of the way off the bridge to the nearest exit with my head out the car so I could see where to go.
Leg pressing heavy and went to far down. Not a soul was in the gym. Had a hard time breathing so gave it all that I had to get it high enough to lockout. Didn’t die but did have torsion and leading to a orchiectomy.
Pulled under my carport during a storm and as I was getting out lightening struck the corner of my house. Literally knocked me off my feet back into my vehicle. Whitest brightest light I’ve ever seen. Fried damn near ever electronic in my house. From tv’s to appliances.
Mom was driving us over the new bridge, again during a storm. We were in the center lane. To the left was a vw bug. As it started to pass us, it had a blowout on the passengers front tire causing it to cut in front of us barely missing us and hit the guard rail head on.
Rolled a car into a canal. Was knocked out during the roll and when I woke up I was up to my chest in water. A guy was outside his house when it happened and thought for sure I had died.

re: 3 year old potty training issues
Posted by go_tigres on 4/9/25 at 11:33 pm
You’re putting a whole lot of stress on both you and your son(and potentially mom and twin sis). I have 5 kids and some learned quicker than others. My 3 girls were quicker than my boys to potty train. For my boys, I used Cheerios in the toilet that they aimed for as enticement. My oldest was still occasionally wetting his bed at 4, but he’s graduating law school in a couple weeks and was married this last weekend. He turned out just fine.
re: How often do you have a flat tire or tires?
Posted by go_tigres on 4/9/25 at 5:57 pm
My wife, God bless her, calls me every so often bc she has flat tireS. 3 times she’s had the drivers front and back flat and once on the passenger side.
It considerably more difficult to fit a Jack under a car when both tires are flat.

We had a set that our grandparents bought us. My mom would make us write a report on something of her choosing when we got in trouble. I got in trouble a lot as a kid which helped my trivial pursuit game play later in life.

It’s not infrastructure, or parks, or libraries, or anything like that that’s needed. It’s nothing that local governments can do either. It’s the people on those areas that need to make a decision to change it.
This is it. Millions have been poured into those areas and it only gets worse. Airport, Amazon, the 2nd coming of Jesus has very little impact if the culture in that area doesn’t change.
Knew an older black guy that lived off Foster. Had been here his whole life. He and his wife raised 4 kids on his custodian salary and her teacher salary. He died in ‘23, but he was ashamed at what “his people did to their city”. He said he was born and raised during some tumultuous times for blacks but he felt less safe in modern BR than during the 60’s and 70’s and it was because of other blacks, not whites.
No matter what programs are instilled, no matter what investments are made, no matter what statues are torn down…change will not happen without a cultural change amongst the predominantly younger black population.
