It's why I love this board hoot and why I choose to interact with it they way I do. I don't bring strong opinions (except as it relates to mature women and @mcmurtry66 ) I bring a somewhat open mind. AS open as I can be at near 50.
We're Doomed a/k/a I don't where else to put this

OK, that's fair. Not how you presented it at first, but I agree with this explanation.
I'm a boomer, jackhole. lol And we live a helluva lot more conservatively than my millennial daughter and son-in-law.Also I'll say in the example I mentioned above with the furnace... But also saw this same thing from a mother of an ex girlfriend. The parents came from very conformable upbringing... The grandparents in both cases were fairly well off but the parents blew it all and were still attempting to live lifestyles they were long used to. To the point they couldn't cover basic living costs without hitting up their kids in their early 20s for money. Fkn boomers.
That's my retirement plan you're busting on there, twenty. Watch it.
Their music ****ing sucks, hoosboot. God awful. Putrid.
Wait. Where in the hell is the WCBC on that list????

Some of it’s really good. Kendrick, Caamp, Zack Bryan…all so good.
The pop is undeniably bad. Putrid. God awful.
Saw Caamp at Bluebird for the first time in March 2019. From there they became festival favorites. Saw them at Shakey Knees and then Forecastle. Hung out w their parents backstage at Forecastle...they were just flabbergasted by the success.
Great band and good dudes...despite the fact they're kinda Buckeyes. 😄
It sure is expensive to help your kids find interests. I would say my biggest expense to my parents was the trumpet they bought me in 7th grade. I paid for my own colleges perhaps they got off cheap.
Yes sir. Me too. I was cheap. I got this for my birthday every year. That was it. Exactly this. And back then youth sports sponsors were actual sponsors. Soccer was free. And it was actually select. You made the team or you went home. One team per age group
And you had to kick the ball uphill both halves in ten feet of snow. 🤣Yes sir. Me too. I was cheap. I got this for my birthday every year. That was it. Exactly this.

I went by the place where I played youth soccer. Had like two full size fields and a bunch of kiddie field when I was young. Freaking complex now with a turf field to boot.
But to pay for that they now let everybody on a team and cash your check. I’m not sure that’s better.
Where I grew up, we beat up kids who said the word soccer.
Ridiculous with the obesity in this country. But again, you build all this super fancy shit and then have to worry about people ****ing it up. When i was young the fields sucked and you were happy they had lines on them.
But they were NEVER locked.
Is it one farm consisting of three farmers, or three separate farms?
I'm guessing they bought some $25k ground? $5k is too much in this environment.
Parents bought me a trombone in 5th grade.
Was fully qualified, (1) Long arms, (2) Strong lips, (3) and most importantly a father who could afford to buy a trombone.
Never was very good. In tryouts for band seating, last chair was automatically assigned to me.
Took up playing sports in 7th Grade and retired from show business.
The trombone was finally pawned by my son without me knowing it when he was in High School. Am sure he used the money to further his academic pursuits 🐱.
I know we spoiled our daughter but she's never acted spoiled so we still spoil her. .... especially her two kids.
He didn't want to work for a mean boss. 🤣
Someone just paid 20k for a hundred acres here. Another old timer turned down a 16k offer.
There has to be someone that needs to spend some money involved
He didn’t want to work as hard as dad. Lol.I know we spoiled our daughter but she's never acted spoiled so we still spoil her. .... especially her two kids.

Probably my all time most proud moment with my son was in grade school. We were called to school. When we got to the Principal’s office, the parents of a mentally challenged student was there and they had tears in their eyes. My first thought was “oh no!” Turns they asked to meet us and thank us. Our son kind of adopted their son and included him with the activities my son and his friends where involved in. I guess if anyone made fun of their son, our son also intervened. Spoiled or not he had a good heart.
Three different farm families. And yes they bought too much crazy expensive land.
We put our younger daughter on a horse when she was six years old.
I stopped counting at $100k.
