Im really excited of your answerds :D mine was Playstation 2 (as a Late Gen Z)

And what form are they? Pills, sprays, inhalers, shots… anything that is prescribed or OTC counts.

I’ll start. I take 5 pills and one inhaler and one nasal spray every day. All but the nasal spray are prescriptions.

Edit to add: coffee, alcohol and weed are in the mix as well over here. Also, I’m about to turn 58 years old.

My daughter has complaints about her childhood and said she has a list of what she considers absolute necessities for kids. Without those things, the kids aren't having their needs met. One of those things is family dinner at a dining room table. I told her that is a cultural thing, imo. Not all people around the world eat dinner at a designated table and not having that doesn't mean they didn't have what they needed. We ate dinner as a family when she and her brother were little- sometimes while watching a movie in the bedroom, or sitting in the living room. We ate at the table every night when I was little but no one talked and we were forced to clean our plates. I would have preferred a fun dinner not at the table. Thoughts?

Has anyone else cut off their siblings? For me it was 7 years ago shortly after my mother passed away. Sister and a hole brother in law always had drama, I reached a point that I did not need to deal with them anymore. My older sister and nephews are a disaster, cur them off 15 years ago. Sometime I feel bad but our kids want nothing to do with them either.

No allowance but had to do chores.

Bonus points for a medication safe, medication alarm or multiple organizers.

Accidentally stepped on a golf ball and went down hard on a crushed gravel pathway. Besides being bruised all over and nursing a wrenched knee and ankle, my mental health has taken a huge hit. When did falling get so dam painful and dangerous? 30 years ago this would have limping and bitching for a few days, but nothing like what I’m feeling today. I’m aching all over, angry for being such a klutz, doing the “what if you’d hit your head?” bit in my mind, and just plain exhausted from not being able to get comfortable.

This is the first time I’ve felt physically old and I hate it.

51F. Was putting a new mattress on my daughters bed and this just popped into my brain 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I now spend more time trying to read the size markings on the side of a socket than actually using it. Also, when you're on the ground under a car, you can't always get your arm far enough away from your eyes to make it out.

They're a pair of "progressive" bifocals. What Looney Tunes Mad Scientist son-of-a-bitch got a wild hair up somewhere it doesn't belong and invented these demented fuckers? I feel like I'm the MC that was just slipped a mickey in a movie, that part that looks like they're using fun house mirrors for eyes, just before they pass out, except I haven't had the relief of passing out. I was walking home, and I feel like I'm flipping 3 feet tall. What the hell is this shit? I'm not sure I can keep wearing these bad trip simulators.
