@grunge_goddess We didn’t see that one but this one! Happy birthday!!!!!

I'm not someone who usually cares about this stuff, but I'm kind of bummed that no one acknowledged my birthday tweet 😔

I’m taking my bunny outta here, Mom! Stop stomping your feet! #DogsofX #SundayNight

@natalievaness15 I wish I was closer I have enough room for both of you. I’m sorry

@veronicaromm @CrazyVibes_1 I’ve made this decision as well for pretty much every single diagnosis and treatment option/age etc and have pinky swore with my bff that she won’t let me suffer. Been through hospice too many times, not torturing my family like that if I have any sort of option

@CrazyVibes_1 I would choose self exit if it was severe. Why live when you are no longer present. Being in a care home is the worst possible outcome bc unfortunately it’s never safe or good enough.

If you developed severe dementia, would you want your partner/children to put you in care home and live their lives… or stay home and care for you themselves? I would choose a care home.

@Supersonic_Red I KNOW I am not the only one who had a room in the house the kids weren’t allowed in except Christmas or when grandma came? My son looks at me crazy when I say we weren’t allowed IN the living room just like open kitchen/family/den/tv room and our room. Don’t even 👀at mom’s

Good morning, Generation Jones. ☕️ Yesterday’s conversation was so much fun that I woke up thinking about all the things only our generation would understand. High school was a blast then. We passed notes instead of texts. Had actual cruising spots. Memorized phone numbers. Listened to the radio waiting for our song to come on. And somehow survived without GPS, Google, or anyone knowing where we were 24/7. 🤣 We really did grow up in two completely different worlds, and I think that’s why so many of us connected yesterday. Now tell me yours. What’s something only Generation Jones understands?

@Supersonic_Red Why you judged grocery stores based on their bag quality

I totally stole this #TridentsUp

@Violet77978311 My DMs just aren't working though. It's asking for a passcode, which I've never had. V annoying.

We had some terrible news today. We have to leave our home. I'm gutted and heartbroken. I just don't know what to o do or where to start. Devastated. Only so much more I can take.

@natalievaness15 You need to follow in order to dm 😫

@Violet77978311 I have been thinking about that. Like different scene, different place. I hope so. I just don't yo leave here. Please DM me if you feel ok to elaborate. I'm in two minds. And I'm stressing to death When you have time of course xxx

@natalievaness15 I had to do something after she was gone that altered my life path. I did not do it voluntarily or gracefully 😫 but hindsight? It saved me. Different stress? Different daily life? I don’t know but it’s a lil easier to breathe. But it took a while & my therapist 🤗🤗💪🫏

@natalievaness15 I’m sorry, you have such different laws than me for housing but I understand that you just can’t take one more thing. Not one fucking one. When my sister died, I was the same. Could this be a resetting of your hardware so your software updates will work? wtf do I know? Big hugs

There’s a generation a lot of people forget exists. We were born at the tail end of the Boomers, but we are not culturally the same as people born in the 40s and early 50s. We are Generation Jones. And honestly, it explains a lot. We grew up in a world that still felt fundamentally analog, but we were young enough to be dragged headfirst into the digital revolution. We are the bridge generation between rotary phones and smartphones, between slide rules and AI, between Walter Cronkite and algorithm driven media. We remember when there were only a few television channels and the entire country watched the same thing at the same time. We also adapted to the internet, email, forums, social media, streaming and now artificial intelligence. We lived before and after the technological singularity hit everyday life. That is not a small thing. People born in the 40s came of age in a post World War II America that was still industrial, deeply hierarchical and institutionally stable. Their formative years were shaped by the Cold War, Vietnam, the civil rights era and a society where information moved slowly. Generation Jones came later. We inherited the aftermath of all of that. We were the kids who watched Watergate destroy blind trust in government. We watched manufacturing begin to collapse. We saw divorce rates explode. We were the first truly latchkey generation in massive numbers. We learned independence early because many of us had to. We grew up with one foot in old America and one foot in whatever this new thing was becoming. We played outside until the streetlights came on but we also learned DOS commands. We learned cursive and keyboarding. We had card catalogs and Google searches. We went from vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs to MP3s to streaming in one lifetime. We remember maps. We remember memorizing phone numbers. We remember life before GPS and before every human interaction became filtered through a screen. And because of that, I think Generation Jones developed a very unique perspective. We are adaptable because we had no choice but to adapt. We learned technology as adults instead of being born into it. We remember a slower world but were forced to survive in a rapidly accelerating one. That creates a very different mindset than either older Boomers or younger Gen X and Millennials. A lot of us also reject the caricature people now associate with “Boomers.” We were not buying houses for the cost of a sandwich in 1965. The interest rate on my first house was over 14% and that was after buying down a point. Many of us got hit by recessions, outsourcing, pension collapses and economic instability just like younger generations did. We watched promises evaporate in real time. We understand older generations because we were raised by them. We understand younger generations because we had to evolve alongside them. That’s why the Jones generation often feels culturally homeless. We are rarely discussed, rarely defined and usually lumped into categories that don’t actually fit us. But we exist. We are the human transition point between the industrial age and the digital age. And frankly, there will probably never be another generation quite like us again.

Just having my evening snoozle in my cave #DogsofX #TiredTuesday

@PetuniaMaePug I love my pit! I can chew up those balls like I’m Wonder Woman! 💪😎

@Violet77978311 You look 👀 like you was having a ball!! 🥰

Pals!!! I lost me stuffie! #DogsofX #FridayFun

@lorraineandlill I’m going to replace the last window this summer maybe. After 25 years of remodeling while living here through it. Wait for $, medical, family. But I never cared, it was mine and I have a room with red walls & one with bright blue & a Seahawks garage & no one can say boo! Mine!

@lorraineandlill Oh what a blessing to have a home, even if it’s not perfect. Both my homes started out condemned. Don’t worry about anything like that. Make your nest area that you can warm. I use electric throw blankets, heating pads & haven’t used heat in 3 years. The fixing? List of need/want

Blankee babies its cold here and I've no heating as I couldn't afford to pay for some oil. This new house is oil heating

@natalievaness15 I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to help enough. Surprisingly your life isn’t the only one going through hell at the moment with no support or end in sight. It’s horrible and I hate that I couldn’t help you more. I wish you a good journey

@Gemrossi46 How’s your mum?

Please pray for Mr Wilson, he has been hit by a car outside my Mother’s home. He’s in X-Ray now, I am devastated, he is my best friend! I’m just sat praying it’s all I can do.😭

@LordOscarBlueL1 I’m so very sorry

Our hearts are broken. Ruby & Oscar have been the best dogs. Full of mischief & character. They went in our arms, loved & with full bellies. Thank you to all our friends who sent kind words. It really means a lot knowing you cared enough to post. Run free my babies 🌈🐾💔
