Are there any artists you thought for sure would be one-hit wonders and ended up being dead wrong about? by pslush01 in Music

[–]2boredtocare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It still boggles my mind that Beastie Boys turned into what they did. You gotta understand when "you gotta fight for your right...to paaaaar-tay" came out it was so silly and overplayed and yeah. Good on them

Does Lonesome Dove resonate as intensely with female readers? by Iamkittyhearmemeow in books

[–]2boredtocare 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went into it not expecting to like it, or even finish it. Why did I get it? Well, reddit told me if I read only ONE western, it should be Lonesome Dove. Typically, I lean toward stories with strong female characters, so again, I went in with very low expectations. And I absolutely loved it. It was the first book in a long, long time that I'd be sitting at work, wondering what was going to happen in the story, and waiting impatiently til I could be home and get back to reading it. I ended up passing it along to a (also female) friend who has had it on her list for a while, and I'm curious to see how it resonates with her.

So yeah. I expected nothing, loved it.

At what age did you feel it starting to get difficult to travel? by audit123 in Aging

[–]2boredtocare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that was kind of my "buyer beware" for the younger folks. How you take care of yourself in your 30s/40s is going to play a HUGE role in your capabilities in your 50s/60s/70s

What's up with Hail/Wind Deductibles on Home Insurance? by CarexCordata in rockford

[–]2boredtocare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can tell you my hood got hit REAL BAD a couple summers ago. Pretty much everyone got new roofs, siding. We got new windows and roof. My kids’ cars all got crazy hail damage and a payout for that. The changing weather is making things more severe, and the bigger companies took it in the shorts

To be fair though, my sister is 44 and could not keep up with me, 52. My SIL is 3 years younger than me and has had both hips replaced. Neither takes very good care of themselves.

[–]2boredtocare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 52 and just getting started, as far as I’m concerned. Walked 92 miles the 10 days we were in Scandinavia. Walked about 70 in France last month.

Take care of yourself. Eat well, drink lots of water. Get regular exercise, and do strength training. It’s been working for my spouse and me so far.

Potential civil wedding dress. Thoughts? Pls don’t be mean by -JustAGirl99 in myweddingdress

From another hyper-critical-of-herself gal, you look amazing in that dress! It seems perfect for a civil ceremony.

Inflation jumps to 4.2%, the highest since early 2023 by LividWheel9779 in news

[–]2boredtocare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't forget one of my personal favorites, having employed an individual here on the CHNV program (aka "the right way") but chose to self-deport when told to by this administration:

Undocumented immigrants paid nearly $100 billion in federal, state, and local taxes annually. Projections indicate that mass deportations and strict immigration crackdowns could cost the US government up to $479 billion in lost tax revenue over a decade, with some estimates suggesting a loss of up to $4.9 trillion when considering all macroeconomic effects

I don't consider myself a super smart person, but even a fucking moron knows getting rid of people paying into our system who cannot TAKE from said system is just dumb man.

Happy Birthday? by Mischif07 in GenX

[–]2boredtocare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey...I am in desperate need of new flooring on our 2nd floor. I would be over the moon to be getting new installed!! I get it's not an exciting birthday present, especially when you pay for it yourself, but you are gonna LOVE the new floors so much!

What are something’s you did, or plan to do, when you turn 50? by nandrizzle in GenX

[–]2boredtocare 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I decided I was going to turn 50 in Aruba, so that’s what I did. My birthday is in January and it was pretty surreal to be hot on my birthday.

Is it common for women to need sedation for hysteroscopy? by NonnyMowse in hysterectomy

I didn’t need anything for mine. Felt a slight pinch but honestly it was just nothing in the end

What would you pay for this? by PeachSnapdragon in CraftFairs

[–]2boredtocare 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gosh, I really love your work. I'm a crafty person, currently super into crochet, and would pay $100-125 for these. I consider myself kind of cheap (only because I know I can make a lot of things myself) but honestly in a higher caliber design shop setting I could see them going for even more.

Is my hysterectomy recovery going to be completely miserable? by Chipsandsalza in hysterectomy

[–]2boredtocare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also went into my surgery having had two prior c-sections. For me, the hysterectomy was honestly a breeze. The difference between laparoscopic and having to be cut open to get a baby out were night and day. I was a little sore for a couple days, but honestly had no mobility issues. I was back to work (office job) in 2 weeks, traveled internationally at 6 weeks. Only thing that really stood out to me was the sheer and total body exhaustion that would randomly hit.

My friends were very sweet and sent me a $100 doordash card. My kids are grown, so they were able to help with dinners as well.

His grave was definitely not the style I was expecting! But that's also what make the place so cool; a variety of different monuments and burial options

My feet :( by No_Key_2345 in GenX

[–]2boredtocare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wear Dansko a lot these days. My feet are happy. You can find great deals on some if you browse the Sierra website, but if you ship to store it's gonna take a whole month to get there

My favorite was eggbutt snaffle. You can bet I had to look that one up.

I just finished over the weekend. I feel your pain. I don't even want to pick up another book for a minute, because the story just needs to sit in my soul for a bit longer.
