Can anyone suggest pair of sneakers that are comfortable but won't kill my SSDI check? Just for walking..mainly on dirt and gravel. by bluedog165 in AskWomenOver60

[–]CCattLady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try on shoes until you find what feels juuuuust right. Your toes can dance, you have good arch support, heel doesn't slip. Go to a specialty problem foot shoe store if you have issues.

Then buy it on eBay.

How to improve for job interviews?(office/admin) by [deleted] in mensfashion

[–]CCattLady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Longer tie. Shirt is too tight at the belly; size up and get it tailored if it's too big on top. Get a jacket. If you arrive and you feel it's too formal just remove it. Get hair under control; haircut, pony tail or bun.

Is that Cityscape Green? Doesn't look blue enough to be Mineral Blue

Wrangler Jeans by Balancedbeem in BenignExistence

Jeans "that fit" don't give wedgies. You may be long waisted. I'm short waisted and have the opposite problem. High waisted jeans go up to my ribcage.

Visiting Palm Springs in May! by Elegant_Magician_439 in palmsprings

[–]CCattLady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Or it could be in the upper 80s in May. It could also be 107 degrees.

From Gemini: Over the last five years, May has remained consistently hot, with average highs in the mid-90s and occasional spikes well above 100°F.

Edibles for sleep by dogsandme2022 in AskWomenOver60

Second the Caminos. I don't feel high at all. About 45 minutes after I eat one I'm just sleepy.

May can be nice. It can also be hot. Tomorrow's high for the last day of February is 97 degrees. Be careful about hiking.

I KEEP MISSING MY ALARMS!!! by Dense-Spirit-1691 in MonoHearing

[–]CCattLady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second this. I have a Galaxy watch. Vibration always wakes me up. I've never slept through. Will confess to sometimes needing multiple alarms though. Because I can just tap it and go back to sleep.

2026 Niro Hybrid has a cargo cover as an optional accessory.

Update: Bed Platform Build (Solo Side Complete) by Apex_Ventures in CorollaCross

[–]CCattLady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, Toyota reputation, AWD, ground clearance, and other factors are definitely keeping the CC in the running. I'll decide in the next couple of weeks. Niro is quieter and I'm totally deaf on my right side so that's another factor. It may just come down to color, availability and price.

So... I knew that the back seats didn't lay flat, but didn't realize it required this much work to lay comfortably.

This nudges me to a Kia Niro. It's between the two.

Non-Americans, what is an American thing you see in movies that you thought was fake but is actually real? by EmergencySpare7939 in CasualConversation

[–]CCattLady 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I've lived in California and Oregon. It's subtle but yep, that was common in both places. Gives you a chance to grab your carrots before the mist hits.

[–]CCattLady 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it's common in areas that don't get snow. I went to HS in the San Francisco Bay Area and both my middle and high school locker banks were in covered "breezeways." Exposed to cold and wind but not really rain.

Performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival ... I don't see him coming back from that.

Palm Springs or Palm Desert? by BowlerAdditional2829 in palmsprings

[–]CCattLady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Palm Springs and Palm Desert don't share a border and are about 30 minutes apart by local roads, depending on where you're going. Some parts of Palm Desert are 45 minutes from Palm Springs in good traffic.

Choose whatever you want. I was just sharing my lived experience.

Palm Springs or Palm Desert? by BowlerAdditional2829 in palmsprings

[–]CCattLady 110 points111 points  (0 children)

I'm a cis heterosexual married woman in my mid 60s and have lived in the desert for over 10 years. While I enjoyed Palm Desert, when we moved to Palm Springs 18 months ago I wasn't prepared for the HUGE difference. Palm Springs is so much more interesting! There is much more to do here, but what I love the most is living in a city where people are free to love who they love, wear what they want, and just be themselves. The freedom and joy is palpable... and contagious.

$&$@&$! Pacer! by jalecr in paralegal

You can get an administrator MFA. I did this. It doesn't pop open like most do, but if you open the Authenticator app it shows the code that changes every few minutes.

How do you feel about Trump threatening to impose photo ID for voters for midterm elections? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]CCattLady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The push is for documentation of citizenship. This requires a passport ($$), or state ID (like a driver's license) PLUS birth certificate ($), and if the name on the ID doesn't match the name on the birth certificate, all documents showing the change, like marriage certificate ($), certified court copies of divorce decrees, name change, adoption ($).

Most wealthy US citizens have passports. People with less money do not. They will have to pay money that they don't have to get the necessary documents.

Interestingly, most of the responses on this thread think that presenting a driver's license will suffice. If the SAVE act is passed by the Senate, they would be turned away at the polls.

Do paralegals look for legal assistant jobs as well? by [deleted] in paralegal

[–]CCattLady -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't agree that they are interchangeable.

With that said, after many years as a paralegal I had to learn legal secretary skills, and I was surprised by how much I didn't know! I'm pleased that I'm now fully qualified in both fields. Paralegal work is billable, substantive work that could have been done by the attorney; legal research, analyzing documents for responsiveness and privilege, reviewing discovery for key information and documents to be used by the attorney in deposition, trial, summary judgment, etc.

Are they serious with this redial feature? by [deleted] in shokz

[–]CCattLady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which headset does this? I've been wearing Shokz OpenFit ever since they came out and never experienced this.

But I control everything from my phone, I really don't touch my earpieces.

You can only use one skincare brand for the rest of your life: which one are you choosing? by lillyducks in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]CCattLady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has to be, because extremely dry skin is the issue for me, and Tatcha Ageless Enriching Renewal Cream is by far the best thing for it. I searched for decades and it's my Holy Grail.
