When I retired from teaching in a large elementary school to being at home, I was feeling very lonely. We were still in a pandemic so I dealt with life in a virtual way almost like everyone else.

If you ever feel lonely, reach out and do somethi...

I evolved 28 years to wear yoga pants on the daily. In 1988, I had to wear customary school teacher clothing. Monday through Friday 200 days a year, slacks, covered shoulders and panty hose with closed toe shoes. I was held back with rules about jeans and school shirts. We had to wait around for jean tickets, pay $40 for extra jean days and if we were lucky we had free jean days on a printed calen...

GenX stories that will make you wonder why things were the way we were. I wished I was a dog and I told my grandmother. She told me to shut up and not say crazy things.

I’m a product of the 60s and 70s. We had such a unique upbringing. Often, the subject of going to a therapist comes up. Seriously, I have given it some thought, but I really don’t think that a therapist is knowledgeable in dealing with the issues that come up with a GenX person.

I asked this question a week ago and the answers are all over the place. Those old black and white sitcoms made it look like the norm but it was not happening at my house in Kingsville, Texas! Were you sent to bed, put to bed or tucked in with a hug and a kiss? I need to know!!! Share your experiences!

This episode deals with being a product of GenX. Our grown-ups were working and we had so much free time. Luckily we came out alive!!

Today, I’m all I’m my mom’s business. She and I had so many ideas and dreams of places we would go to and visit. We talked about going to Vegas, New Orleans, you name it, we wanted to go. But as time went on…we didn’t do the all the things we wanted. Don’t do this to yourself. Get out there and make those plans. Time goes by sooo fast.

Anyone and anything can come up in these episodes.

I brought the year in as passively as possible. The new year will BE. It’ll just BE. Follow Chance_Charlie_Chico on Instagram. Happy New Year. Próspero Año Nuevo.

Everywhere I look, I see those words. On tee shirts, home decor and advertisements, they are just part of the Thanksgiving setting. So, I ask you, “What are you grateful for today?” Share your thoughts with the world. We need some insight.

I was shamed for my silver hair choice. I’ve carried this story in my heart for 4 months. Shaming has been dosed out to me since my childhood. It hurt then and if I allowed it, it could have hurt now. If you or someone you know is being shamed, please leave your anonymous message at pastlevel50@yahoo.com. Names will be changed to protect the victims.
