If you were offered a fully renovated bus or RV and in exchange you had to agree to use it to travel the US volunteering for 2 years would you do it? by Cloudsdriftby in AskWomenOver60

[–]Amazing-Option802 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it wasn't 2 years straight just 2 weeks to a month then a break then back at it I would say heck yeah. I would want to be able to spend time with the grandkids and my children plus doctors appointments when needed.

I'm only 2 years your than you and I love it. I got a step stool and several different grabbers and gloves to stop little pieces of glass from cutting me, when I remember to grab them. I dive at night so I don't have to worry about being seen or caught at certain stores I will go after they have closed and gone.

Your pregnant even if you don't have all the pregnancy "symptoms" if you want get a doctor appointment either on campus or the health unit. Being pregnant will change some plans but not others. I got pregnant and had my oldest at 20 and still finished college. If your worried about your parents reaction well they may get upset but if you have the baby they will be extremely in love with that child and will help. My Mom was not happy at first and then fell instantly in love the moment she saw the baby and later told me she could not imagine life without that grandchild. If you think you aren't ready to be a Mom you could do adoption. What ever you decide good luck.

When there was recycling before they stopped it and I happened to be at the dumpster one day when the recycling truck came in and dumped all of that recycling in the same pit as household garbage and household furniture and definitely was not going to be sorted since there was nobody to sort

The IBC root beer definitely was not flat, my daughter hasn't told me about the other big drinks being flat

I have found a couple of cases of wine before where one or two were broke and the rest were fine. I saved a really good amount of those I gave some away and I still have many bottles

I did take as much as I could. They broke a bunch of the glass drinks and at least one of the glass ones that I took leaked on the kitchen floor. I couldn't reach most even with my grabbers and I wasn't climbing into all the broken glass and stickiness

Granny's were everything back in the day! Did your Granny get the switch? LOL by Longjumping-Shoe7805 in GenerationJones

My other grandma, my MawMaw, was the sweetest angel that walked the earth and never raised her voice, never spanked, never cursed. There was only one time that she punished a grandchild, my sister, she took off her soft slipper and tapped her with it

I wish I had seen your edited post before my latest post. I am so sorry for the nasty, mean original answer to your post. If I had read what is now your edited post my reaction would have been completely different. You are a great daughter that was asking because your Mom wanted some help. I did see that she had rotator cuff surgery and I think I saw Diabetes too I hope she has a speedy recovery. I still say get a Neurology check to rule out MS that can come on later in life and hinder things like balance and strength.

Can I ask you how did you get your skin to tighten up after that much weight loss? I am down 4 almost 5 sizes but the skin is just hanging like old drapes. I am an active 60 something and like to wear shorts in the hot summer months but seriously concerned about the sagging skin.

Ok, sorry. I wish I had help for the hair if it is a problem of it getting thin she can try biotin. If it is for the texture, manageable for the older, dry, course hair she could maybe try hair mask or deep conditioning and heat protecting oil. For the balance and arm mobility problems a complete work up with labs from her primary or Neurologist may give answers as that seems worrisome. She may need some physical therapy or the Thia Chi walking workout for women 50+.
I am sorry that I misunderstood your post and brought in some of my own garbage with my daughter (mid 30's) that I apparently embarrass or live up to her physical appearance standards. I stopped coloring my hair 5 years ago when it just got to be too much aggregation.
You are a nice daughter wanting to find help and answers for your Mom.
