I had a sex dream last night. It was with my arch nemesis from grade school. Where the heck this came from is beyond me. But I had to tell my best friend this morning because she was the only person who would understand the ugh of this dream. And her first response was "I almost barfed" Exact same thing happens to me. I think it’s some weird trauma response. Bc I promise. He’s not attractive, physically or in personality. |

Driver's Ed is not taught at school in my part of TX. You can do it yourself if you certify a certain # of hours, etc. But I absolutely sent my teenagers to private driving school. For $350ish- they get their 32 hours of classroom/prep for the written test and 6 or 8 on the road driving lessons. My middle DD had not driven AT ALL before driving school so they did MOST of my heavy lifting for me. (DD1 was very interested in driving and had done lots of parking lot practice pre-permit) I thought that was a great price to save my sanity some; you still have to get XX number of hours with a parent before you can get your license. I’m in Dallas right now w family. I believe you, y’all drive BANANAS here 😳 |

I think it’s some weird trauma response. Bc I promise. He’s not attractive, physically or in personality. I know pretty much all my other dreams are trauma responses (yelling at one or both my parents in a variety of different scenarios). Getting sent back to high school or university. Often not fully dressed or scantily dressed. Makes sense that this is more of the same… |

ponyhairs I’ve gotten a number of preprinted generic thank you cards from funerals. Like someone Orders from minted.com a card that says, “the family of John Doe thanks you for your sympathy during this difficult time”. Just short and sweet. I know you brought this up before so I know it’s going to bother you if you don’t get it done. I get it, I’m the same way. I’m sure you’ve had some people close to you asking how they can help or what you need. I would ask them if they can handle this and get it off your plate. I promise you no one cares whether you send them or not. But if you need it for your own peace of mind, delegate.

From what I am seeing online, it is indeed Gen X that are doing this and not in fact the Millennials, however they take claim to all the things and totally skip over Gen X. We are used to it. We don't care. We are more used to not getting outside validation from others. That’s how I know even though I’m on the cusp, I’m truly gen x. I like being left alone and ignored. Leave us out of it. I like the boomers and millennials hating each other. And now the millennials hating gen z. exactly. It showed when millennials make posts like, "all the millennials on their feet for Usher (during the SB)..." Knowing damn well Usher is Gen X. 🤷🏻♀️ 😂 😂 😂 😂 They do this about cell phones, internet, back that ass up like all things Gen X. They claim it. They forget or ignore us and that's OK. Gen X has gotten therapy and is ok sitting and chilling. Lol. 🤷🏻♀️ 😂 |

I’m in Dallas right now w family. I believe you, y’all drive BANANAS here 😳 Kidding, I know it's insane here. And I hate it. It wasn’t always this bad but it’s the wild Wild West now. Noses buried in phones. Stop signs are apparently optional. Turn signals? Never heard of her. 18 wheelers causing havoc. And just so many cars and giant intersections and crazy freeways with higher and higher connectors. I’m having to drive down to the Houston med center once a week right now and I can’t. It’s going to be the straw that ends with anxiety meds. |

Something happens to people when they get behind the wheel of a pickup, I’m Convinced. Science should study it. We’re honestly having a great visit, but I’m shocked anew each time I visit. |

We’re honestly having a great visit, but I’m shocked anew each time I visit. You're not wrong. DH is convinced he needs a brush guard on his truck and I'm very "......we're not a ranch, hon. You're not trying to herd cattle." I very much think it would exacerbate his existing road rage. |
