I just looked up the Wikipedia dates for each era. I know it doesn't add up. Probably more than one claim, depending on who you ask.
BOOMER. Pains me to say because I don't want to be associated with Sooner. Last of the boomers....1964. but hey, was legal age vis grandfather clause
Hey just finished supper, trying to finish up harvest and here lately had all sorts of stuff breaking down.
present and accounted for sir. I could have predicted most of the responses to this thread. I WANT CANDY AND I WANT IT NOW!!!!!
The only thing I've got breaking down right now is my joints. Man it sucks to get old.
No kidding, was using a wrench the other morning when it was cold, dam couldn’t get my finger on my left had to work, i broke my thumb about 25 years ago and I believe arthritis is in that area. But like a 93 year old banker to me when I asked him how’s it going, his reply was I’m still looking down.
My mother had two good quotes, one is the golden years aren’t all that golden, the second one is it could be worse.
The good news is that I can alternate which leg I want to limp on. I was too hard on my body for too many years. Man I miss being able to run up and down a basketball court.
My favorite that I coined is "It doesn't matter. I'll be dead soon."
It used to be that when I fixed fence I wanted that darned post to last a long long time. Now I figure 10 years will probably be enough.
I was born 66. I didn't get so lucky. Texas dropped me from legal to underage when I turned 20. No grandfather clause. I'm still grumbling over that. Hahaha
Yeah I think a lot of us boomers abused our bodies because we had to show we were macho or Charles atlas. I used to be able lift a sack of Portland cement throw it over my shoulder, he’ll now I struggle to lift a 40 pound bag of dog food
Use hedge it will last longer than your grandchild as a fence postMy favorite that I coined is "It doesn't matter. I'll be dead soon."
Born in 81 but sure as FU@K am not a millennial.Boomer 1944-1964
Gen X..1965-1979
Millenial...1980 to 1994
Gen Z..1995 to 2015
Kinda curious as to who makes up the majority of posters on this board. No need for age if you don't want to but rep your set. I'll start, Gen X here. Now play nice boomers and millennials.
No hedge in my neck of the woods. I worked for a farmer in Missouri when I was in post-grad school and we cut and "planted" lots of hedge posts. Tough stuff. I've used some cedar but with as wet as it's been, the big ones even only last about 10 years.
For all the squabbling among generations I think we can all agree the greatest generation was the group that lived through a depression and 1 or 2 World Wars. Nobody today has problems that rivaled what my grandparents RIP lived through. Much respect.
Road trip to either the saline center consignment auction in March, or Daykin ne consignment auction I believe the 3 Saturday in February.
hear hear
and shouts to current and former service members for keeping their legacy and our ability to share big red fandom alive and well
even though we may disagree, it's trivial and meaningless in the big picture
GBR, GBA(merica)
no kidding. Nobody had time or enough money to worry about all of the stupid crap going on today. It is absolutely amazing how simply and toughly people lived before the 1950s. This country has grown amazingly soft and dependent.
I just put in as fresh of a railroad tie as I can find if I want something stout that will last a while. The next owner will probably bring in a dozer and push it in a pile anyway.
Boomer here. Get off my lawn and get back to your mom's basement.
Well looks like it's mostly Gen X on here. Or the others are afraid to step out and represent.
that surprises you?Well looks like it's mostly Gen X on here. Or the others are afraid to step out and represent.
Meh. I worked hard and did lots of physically demanding things when I was younger but I did more damage to my body playing basketball from my early 20s until 40 than anything else. My hips, knees, feet and ankles are shot. We had a group of guys including some former college and pro players that played basketball at noon 3 times a week. It was fast and furious for a full hour. Great great fun. Man I miss that. Actually Tim Miles played with us one time at a basketball camp one time when he was first starting in coaching. Man he was terrible. I asked somebody "is that a coach or a camper?".
Literally the most boomer thing you could have written. I'm just giving you crap Dingle, but it's true! You find me a time machine and take me to 1850 and I'll find a guy complaining about how soft the kids are nowadays, what with their flushing toilets and all.
