Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I’ve sent some muffins and cookies to the four twenty somethings who live upstairs. This morning I noticed that the snow had been shoveled in front of my car. it’s time to make some cupcakes.
Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Wow, who would've thunk it. Millennials may actually be good for something! I guess I never tried training them with treats before, I'll have to give that a try!

Duffield, SASS #23454 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 A lot of these kids are hard working with good values. Just because the whiners get all the publicity, don't sell the others short. Duffield
Pat Riot Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Well, youths have been complained about, disparaged, fretted over and disdained for millennia so “Millennials” have the right name... I don’t recall what we were called as a teen but I do recall the complaints, the sideways glances and the general disdain my presence elicited from some people...I turned out all right...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 21, 2020 Author Posted January 21, 2020 It is not a new thing. In the times of the Roman Empire, Pliny the Elder complained about the younger generation. i bet the Bible does not mention the carryingS one of Cain and Abel.

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I ski, hike, shoot, and lots of other things with my millennial grandkids. Of our 12 grandkids, 7 are ages 20 to 26. That's a passel of great millennials!
Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 As with any group, the entire group is identified by the worst example. I know some Millennials that are fine human beings and I am proud to know... but on the larger view, are the good ones the exception or the rule? Maybe I am just getting a little too cynical, but I am finding the "good ones" of any group are more of the exception than the rule. Except for the group here! The Wire, and SASS in general, has way too high portion of "good ones" compared to other places and groups.

Pat Riot Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Spending 5 years in the Portland OR area totally skewed my impressions of Millennials. In Portland you encounter the worst of the Millennial Generation. There’s a joke I heard often in Oregon: “Where do Millennials go to retire?” The answer “Portland”. Being here in SoCal this past year has changed my perspective on Millennials quite a bit. For the better.
MizPete Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Grandsons #1 and #2 are Eagle Scouts and during their Christmas holiday (UNC-Ashville and Berklee College of Music) built their other Granny an extension to her deck. Fine young men. And yes, they can be bribed with food.

Pat Riot Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Boxing Cannabyte, If I were still a Mod here I would delete your post and ban you from the Wire until you read the rules and guidelines. You obviously know how to read so go read the rules and follow them. Edit: Oh, and I reported your post so it may not be around long.

I have no idea what the poster’s status is. He may be in time out but considering it was his first and only ignorance filled political jerkboy post I am guessing he won’t be back unless he’s sneaky.
Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Let us all hope that he/she ain't that sneaky .........
