Slippy

Perhaps I failed to mention that these young people are attorneys. Out of school less than 2 years.

Attorneys who leave at 5 are not employed very long.

And if that makes me a boomer, then great.

ETA: And yes, the responses to this thread confirm that this board is populated by pussies.

A friend of a friend is married, but he and his wife have taken another woman into their home and consider themselves a “throuple.” They are a few months into this arrangement, so no idea how long it will last. My friend thinks his friend’s wife likes the new girl more than she likes him.

I guess I’m old. I’m mostly a live and let live kinda guy. But is his marriage really a marriage? Maybe I’m just jealous. Yeah, that’s probably it.

I’m taking my second solo trip to Big Bend next month. Can’t wait. Wife hates long car rides. I love them, especially in remote and barren places.

Some people cannot stand to be alone. I am an only child so it’s pretty much my natural state. I love traveling alone. I don’t go many places without the missus (no pics) but she gives me the periodic yard pas.

Thank you, soccerfut. I’m about to make another drunk online hat purchase.

Let’s say there was a misunderstanding about a dead body.

I think I ordered a hat a few nights ago. I was hammered. If I did, I’m sure I got a text or email confirming the details, but I have a habit of deleting everything on sight if it looks like it’s from a retailer. So I have no idea. I could check my credit card statement but I’m too lazy. I look on the front porch every few hours to see if something has arrived.

I think I need to stop drinking.

Would.

I don’t know who made up the various generational categories and decided where the cutoff should be. But it does seem sort of arbitrary.

I was born in 1965, the first year of Generation X. Some of my best friends growing up were a year older, and therefore Boomers. My parents were born during the middle of World War II.

Although my kids like to say “ok Boomer” to me, I have virtually nothing in common with the Boomers. I was a typical Gen X free range kid. Rode bikes all over until the streetlights came on, even at 7 or 8. Let myself in after school because both my parents worked. I came of age in the 80’s with Ronald Reagan, new wave, and no cell phones. Like other Gen X’ers, I was probably a shitty parent, and became overprotective of my kids. I don’t worship money, although I like having it.

Any of you born on a cusp? If so, which group to you identify with more?
