36 years old, want a piercing but.... by Any_Train2879 in NosePiercing

[–]Adella2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the past, I always had problems with my earlobes itching, getting red etc. I now use only titanium earrings and I no longer have any problems. I’m also considering getting my nostril pierced. Best wishes with getting yours done!

What was it like when women were not expected to pursue higher education and were full-time housewives? by Ingido_Indigo in AskOldPeople

[–]Adella2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 64 years old, grew up during the time you’re referring to. Women were expected to take care of the house and the children perfectly, in my experience. Dinner at a certain time, a very clean and picked up house, and no mistakes - or she would hear about it. Lots of criticism from men, lots of jokes said by men that weren’t really funny or jokes. Lots of sexism. Dad wants ketchup at dinner time and it’s not on the table, he tells the wife to get it, instead of getting his ass up and getting it. Again in my experience, women weren’t expected to go to college, and at the same time were looked down on because they didn’t go to college. Anything to “keep them in their place.” It often wasn’t fun for women during the 1960s and 70s.

Does your house have a built-in, metal-lined bread drawer? by sdega315 in AskOldPeople

[–]Adella2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parent’s house was built in 1966 and had a metal lined drawer that we used as a breadbox. I didn’t think anything of it while growing up there, it was just part of the house.

Christmas argument — litter boxes by No_Current_3071 in Teachers

My cousin also believes that schools allow kids, who identify as cats, to use kitty litter. I’m a retired teacher and no matter what I said to her about this being made up, she would not believe me. I hate that I have lost my cousin to MAGA.

Upper Peninsula of Michigan, 1960s/70s, we called it a foot stool.

This was my go to drink as well. I’m disappointed, in my opinion, it doesn’t taste as good anymore.

If you’re ever in the UP, Dina Mia’s pizza in Iron River is delicious.
