Yeah - watching T-ball became too risky - so then took up quail hunting with this guy …
How many GenX'ers do we have?

80’s alpha males
My wife & I went to the same college (CalPoly SLO). We settled it by what they had listed as the start of millennial generation, 1980. She likes to make fun of millennials & considers herself GenX. Since I had tricked her into settling an argument if she was a millennial or not by using Poly’s definition I get to rib her in jest. She finds all sorts of other definitions but that ship has sailed
Hopefully that ramble makes sense. I’m on night shift brain & woke up WAY too early today.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone btw.

YES!!!!!!
My younger brother is also Oct ‘80. He’s retiring from active duty this coming Jan 31st. We were both raised on the ranch & learned how to cause chaos & fix things on our own. Can still hear our grandmothers voice calling us back in for lunch or dinner. Still amazed her voice could carry as far as it did.
Imagine a world where you could not be found or contacted in any way for sometimes days on end with regularity. My parents lived in that world.
Both fine media. The good stuff.

I lived in a big neighborhood when I was a kid. Places where the grand plan (looking at you, Virginia) is a 300-home subdivision off a 2-lane highway with a 45-55MPH speed limit and school is a 45-minute bus ride away don't offer a lot of freedom for a kid.
Same here, born in mid-80's, but we lived in mid-Missouri on a farm so I was a bit behind. I don't really identify with any generation.I’m a tweener. Born in the early 80’s so technically an old millennial but raised like an X-er with my X-er older sibling. We were poor so I didn’t get the benefit of experiencing things like people of my same age. When you’re broke it is like living 10 years in the past cause you cannot afford anything new. I guess you could say I’m old enough to remember the before times but not old enough to consider it my heyday.
Funny phenomenon: most people consider the “best era” to be when they were at their youthful peak… it has to less to do with things actually being “better” back then and more to with you being “better” back then. Things didn’t get worse over time - you did. Lol

However, still cannot get over the fact that he put INXS instead of Dire Straits. I mean seriously? On a Thanksgiving!

Same. 83 and south central Missouri. I keep seeing talk of participation trophies but when I played little league they didn’t even give out 2nd and 3rd our county only had enough funds for first place to get a trophy
Locked. Classic.
Someone’s manager is getting a phone call tomorrow.
Free range kid starting 2nd grade. Mum dropped off at ski resort with dime(call) and $0.50 (hot chocolate) with friends every weekend. Rode in back of Subaru wagon, pickup truck bed, whatever no seat belts.
Drove field beaters(uninspectible free cars) age 12 for fun at friends field racing around dirt or ice packed track. Mom hated that one and made me wear seatbelt and their old motorcycle helmet.
