My kids were playing in the hose in the back yard. They were having a great time and it brought back fond memories of my childhood. But all I could really think about was the damned water bill.

Even simple joys come with a price these days.

Food wasn't the only thing that the Donger needed.

My neighborhood had a small get together for families this past weekend. Seems like the neighborhood is populated by mostly young professionals and a few retirees. I may have been the only Gen X there - everyone else was a Millennial or Boomer (or Gen Jones, per recent thread). It was interesting to see the other dads stand around talking about what their preferred spiked/hard seltzer was. No beers to be seen anywhere, not even craft ones. When I call my buddies, we go have a beer, not a Truly/White Claw/Vizzy/etc. I guess my generation has missed the message on this one...

I hate all that malted/seltzer/spiked crap. Just give me a beer even if it’s a Miller Lite

I get “thanks sweetie (or honey) all
The time. I’m 63, I don’t give a crap. Some folks just go through life looking for opportunities to be offended

When you’re in a meeting at work and you cross your legs with your hand on your chin as if you’re an intellectual in deep thought.

When you’re in a meeting at work and you cross your legs with your hand on your chin as if you’re an intellectual in deep thought and realize that you elected to wear your thick, white Saints football socks with slacks and dress shoes.

I’m looking like my great grandpa who only wore white football socks with any and everything.
