What’s is Gen Y unhappy?

[rogue06]

I wonder if I had really "experienced" the 60's if I would have seen color in my hallucitations.

I keep telling you those were regular mushrooms on that pizza. You only thought that you were husslucinating.

Sure, that's what you TOLD him.

Of course, you told him those rabbit pellets were raisins, too....

Wait. They weren't?



True Story Time: Back in the 90s my best friend and I went to a wild party where someone had brought some LSD for anyone who wanted it (only two or three people did). It had been dripped onto some saltine crackers.

My best friend didn't know it was on the crackers and helped himself to a slice of cake. I pretended not to see him (my back was turned) and I made an off-handed remark about staying away from the cake because the LSD was in the frosting. As I said that I turned around to see him with a big bite of cake in his mouth and nearly all of the slice gone from his plate.

He had a deer-in-the-headlights look on his face and I decided to play it for all its worth. I acted horrified/mortified and asked him how much he had eaten. Several people standing around immediately picked up on the joke and started playing along.

To make a long story short, we convinced him that he had ingested a fair amount of LSD and he became quite sure that he was "tripping." It was hilarious lesson in the power of suggestion.

This was the reason that I remarked, "You only thought that you were husslucinating." Because I've seen it happen.

Hmm, 89 seems especially late for "Generation X".

That's what they told us until I was in High School.

In my opinion, if you can distinctly remember a period of time without computers, internet, cell phones, cable TV, HD-anything, and everything with lots of ugly oranges, browns, muted greens, lots of copper in the kitchen, shag carpet, wood paneling, cars that looked like boxes, kids playing outside, and President Reagan, then you're definitely not a Gen-Y/Millennial.

I handed in school papers handwritten or from a typewriter (still have it). I grew up with the ugly tupperware, copper AND cast iron. I played outside, my dad's minivan had that wooden paneling and I do remember the early nineties car. I didn't get a computer until 2009, I got my first phone in 2013 and I still don't have cable tv. Yeah...I really don't fit that Milennial mode.

A year or so back my brother and I pretty much had convinced his granddaughter that the world was black and white until the early 60s

It was. I was there. There were isolated pockets of color here and there, but most of the world was black and white.

You're the exception that proves the rule, .

That's about what we expect from Oregon "schools."

I have never entirely understood that response.

I was probably on my 6th or 7th car when the 90s started. sterngard.gif

Were you accident prone, or were you like a friend of mine that kept buying cheap 4th hand cars that fell apart within a short time after purchase?
