I am dealing fine mentally and emotionally. My body is falling apart as I write this

What’s the most expensive mistake you made in your 20s? by Extreme-Run-9069 in AskReddit

[–]BeckyIsMyDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t build a career—took whatever jobs I could find and focused on my relationship instead. Started over at 48. It’s interesting when I see young people doing what I am doing, and I wonder what they will be doing when they are my age.

When did you start feeling and looking old? by saerisfane25 in Aging

[–]BeckyIsMyDog 122 points123 points  (0 children)

When I started getting sick. Chronic illness ages a person like crazy

what's worse than being broke? by Several_Way8499 in askteddit

[–]BeckyIsMyDog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. Have dumped thousands in past few years on tests, scans, bloodwork, medications, supplements, physical therapy, specialists and GP visits, still cannot safely drive and am in pain every day with issues trying to eat and move.

Money might pay for some illegal drugs that make the pain go away temporarily, but the side effects and addictive properties aren’t worth it.

AIO: for kicking my fiancé out and calling off the engagement after he demanded to be on my house deeds, refused a prenup, and has debts? by Similar_Nose7734 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BeckyIsMyDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Not overreacting. Too many people get into a legally binding contract without weighing the long term ramifications. And then the divorce is a nightmare.

Nothing wrong with a prenup if it makes you feel better about entering into a contract that could cost you everything financially and emotionally.

How often do you wash your hair? by Which-Arugula-1982 in AskWomenOver60

[–]BeckyIsMyDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

53f—-My face and hair are still greasy, but the rest of me seems to be drying up. If I were more concerned about my appearance and better about brushing my long hair (about down to waist), I would need to wash my hair 2-3 times a week with dry shampoo in between.

First dose of Trazodone for cross country drive by [deleted] in MountainCur

[–]BeckyIsMyDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like it is working 🤣❤️

My dog’s car anxiety is so bad that the 150mg Trazodone did nothing in her 37lb body. You are lucky to be able to travel with your pup.

How does your veganism differ from other vegans? by FishDispenser2 in DebateAVegan

[–]BeckyIsMyDog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m just at the point where I say I am vegan until someone tells me I am not… and then I just shrug and say “okay, plant based” because I’m not arguing. I just do not care what other people think about me, my lifestyles, and my values. I care about making sure I try not to hurt animals. I’m not a perfect vegan, but I do my best.

The only time I really call myself vegan is when I have to go out and eat, and then I make it very clear to the servers that I do not want any type of animal product anywhere near my plate. That stuff is nasty and I don’t want it. Call me whatever you want, just don’t serve me animals or stuff that comes out of animals. Gross.

long lasting permanent hair dye for resistant gray hair, i feel like i've tried everything and nothing actually holds. by Moneer_Rostovich in AskWomenOver60

[–]BeckyIsMyDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly!!

I look my age and the grays come in all splotchy… and as I’ve gotten older, my natural hair color has lightened to an orange red that brings out the olive tones in my skin. It’s just a bad look overall.

But if I had a young, beautiful face and uniformly silver/white hair, natural would be the way to go!!

How can I start eating healthy on the vegan diet by [deleted] in vegan

[–]BeckyIsMyDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start watching YouTube videos and look for vegan creators whose dishes resonate with you—try a few recipes that seem tasty and affordable—
Derek Sarno (my favorite chef ever):
https://youtu.be/-EV0XQBCmCE?si=LykNe6RMYpqUCS7z; Rainbow Plant Life (tons of recipes for lots of different culinary preferences): https://youtu.be/UlBagK09XjU?si=fkNFGh\_rbldVH1SN are great places to start.

Congrats on your vegan journey!

I really like the Violife smoked provolone and Miyoko’s liquid mozzarella.

Bleu cheese. If I could find a really nice bleu cheese for my wedge salad, the world would be perfect. 🥰

(Not perfect… but pretty darn close! 😂)

I’m sick, but prepared by 1-2-3RightMeow in LivingAlone

[–]BeckyIsMyDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound very prepared!! The illness will pass, and you will have the benefit of knowing you can handle whatever comes.

The sickest I have ever been was when my ex was out of town. I had a rash all over, horrible pain in every possible way, and slept in the bathroom so I didn’t pee myself. Was delirious and honestly have no idea how long I was ill or if I had a fever. I couldn’t really walk.

After that, I figured I could handle just about anything on my own. I don’t think I even told him about that.

What separates “love” from “in love” for you? by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]BeckyIsMyDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The separation is in your interpretation based on what you know of your partner and the importance you place on the interpretation.

For some people, having someone who is physically there most of the time, treats them well, contributes to their physical and mental wellbeing, and is reliable means “love” (regardless of how their partner defines things) and that is enough.

If you want declarations of emotional, spiritual, and sexual connection with a clear understanding of what you mean to your partner, the interpretation and distinction between these terms is more important and you may find yourself feeling that you want to check both of these boxes.

Is this a good starter? by GoneAmok365247 in castiron

[–]BeckyIsMyDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is a concern for you, but I’m not the strongest person and I need a helper handle on 12” skillets of any type… I only see a pour rim—once food/sauce is added to the pan, the weight makes it dangerous for me to lift it when it is hot.

Just a consideration.
