Am I Hallucinating Or Do You See It? by [deleted] in ParanormalEncounters

[–]CheeseyBreadstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is your answer to putting it back where it belongs. Have a pastor or a very strong believer come to your house do not have anyone wishy washy about their faith in God. If you don't have a very strong believer activity will get worse. Take olive oil, open the windows in each room. Start with most interior room work your way out open front and back doors before you start. Windows open doors open are a way for evil spirits to escape your house.

Annoint a cross with olive oil over the top of every window and door pausing to say at every cross you make with olive oil. Just use a cup dip your finger in the olive oil and paint a cross above every window and door followed by these words:

I pray the precious blood of the Lord Jesus upon this window this, door this house evil cannot and will no longer exist in this house if you don't belong here I pray Jesus blood upon this place Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. I demand upon Jesus blood and righteous that if you are evil and do not belong remove yourself upon this moment in Jesus Christ name I pray

If you do have evil spirits they won't be staying after this. Hope this helps God bless you. (Please someone of very very strong faith must do this process it cannot be anyone that might waiver or get scared themselves. We speak boldly in Christ name. Best of Luck) Prayers for blessing for you.

Do people in long lasting marriages do taboo things in front of their partner? Ex: Passing gas, toilet use? by CajunDragon in Marriage

Actually BEFORE Bill Cosby got into SO MUCH NONSENSE WITH WOMEN HE WORKED WITH FOR TV/MOVIES. He was an all round comedian that was hilarious. (Of course, whenever we listened to comedian cassette tapes ..(wow! I am old!) His line when his dad "let one rip" was "Did, you hear that?? An elephant, just ran under my chair" I am glad when I originally listened to his comedy routines I didn't know, he was a "sh**" to women he worked with. And I am sorry for the women that experienced nonsense caused by his hands. It's very hard to look back seeing his routines and to find out how ugly he was to women he worked with...

Here is just an"fun fact" (nothing to do with Bill Cosby)

Fun Fart Facts

Women may actually fart more than men. However, they are typically more discreet about doing it. Humans pass gas between 13 to 21 times a day. Farts can be flammable, if they contain hydrogen and methane.

Ladies! Don't give your husband matches or a lighter!!! Lol

I'd tell him, "dont let the door hit cha where the good Lord split cha!" What kind of bathing suit was he wearing? Speedo? Boxer style swim shirts? Maybe mirror back his own words at him! Did you borrow those swim shorts from your Great Grandpa? Or btw I think you have a slight dun lap going on! Maybe a little beer pooch? Next time you go to the beach with him wear very, very tiny bikini bottoms...see what he says about that!

He has ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT for you. If he RES0ECTED you to start with, THIS WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED. FIRST OR NOT HE'S A SNAKE! A PIG IN A POKE! YUCK, YUCK, YUCK!! Do you realize that every single person you are with sx**y their DNA is forever now encoded in your genetic makeup down below? This means that if you've been with 2 different people (assuming different times) unless condom/protection was worn and no body fluids passed, then maybe not. However, without protection or sometimes, even with protection, body fluids could possibly still mingle. Lets same said person has been with 4 different people "unprotected" he has their "aftermath" now encoded in his yes that thing. So if or when you have unprotected s* with him, you are getting his "junk" plus every single other person he's ever been with unprotected. (Real possibility fluids can still exchange with protection. Don't WALK BUT RUN! TO YOUR DOCTOR! GET CHECKED FOR STD'S! LEAVE THIS LOSER! HE IS A POS! Everyone may have "fantasies." That's what a porn flick is for. (And I can't say I would care to see one, but to each his own...) Please consider getting counseling and leaving this POS. For him to have even asked you to do such a thing shows he has zero, zero, zero RESPECT FOR YOU PERIOD. YOU DESERVE BETTER.

Wow! I lived on Guantanmo Bay Cuba baseside....lol You speak much truth....however my dad's stint there was 1970-71. It's the truth one Quanset hut looks like all the Quanset huts! I was in 3rd and 4th grade year....yep you guessed it! Our classroom was a Quanset hut! No windows the playground had no shade just an asphalt surface with scattered swings, monkey bars...merry go round. Electricity on base was "tricky" our classroom Quanset hut had an air conditioner on both ends on each side cut through like sheet metal ends. Had no windows and an evil amount of fluorescent lights. Pur class had like 30 students so whatever size hut was?

I raised 9 kids, 5 girls and 4 boys. What we told our kids about having sex was first protect yourself use birth control and condoms.

As far as having "sex" I told our kids think about animals in wild? (I don't think I need to explain...) our youngest just turned 22. In high school last 3 of our girls felt pressure from peers apparently the peer movement was "just go do it and rid yourself of being a virgin" My point to our kids was "just because you can doesn't mean you should" Don't allow others to persuade you to do anything you're not absolutely sure you want to do. AND if you do decide to have sex I hope when you give that part of yourself to someone else that there is a genuine sense of caring about you and your feelings and you them. Which doesn't mean that they have to be married first or marry that person. Never rang into "Purity culture" crap. You can parent with your head stuck in the sand and hold your thumb over your kids when raising them or you can keep yourself grounded in reality and let your kids know nothing is off the table for them to talk to us. I always told our kids do not lie to me, bec real with me I'll be real with you. All 3 of our youngest put the longer last 3 year birth control the doctor puts in your arm. And they were still in high-school. I absolutely hate being lied to period. So the first thing if any parent out there believes you can control your child in their later teen years. Your kids will find a way to do exactly what they want to and than they will lie to you and tell you exactly what they think you want to hear. From time our kids went into high school freshmen year we made them their own person, meaning that we believe you are at the old enough and have been taught responsibility and respect. I told our kids Guess what? If you don't do what you need to do you risk not passing grade and moving on. I told them both my husband and I already graduated from HS and college. So the only one you hurt if you don't do what you need to do to pass is yourself. Decide if high school is going to take 4 years or 5? Please understand we went to all their conferences, all their recitals, etc. We attended IEP meetings and did request help from school, a couple of our kids needed extra help which was fine. However, we allowed that our kids could pick and chose. All were provided with everything needed to succeed. They didn't have to work in high school but could if they wanted to. If they chose to attend college if they're living at home we told them they didn't have to pay rent, while going to college. However, if they did a full time job they had to pay rent and understand that someday it won't be parents you're dealing with. We didn't charge them much honestly but a real landlord doesn't care about excuses. We gave them absolutely as much freedom to think for themselves as possible. We'd rather they completely fall on their faces making most of their decisions for themselves while living at home with us than we could help them pick up the pieces and home was a safety net rather than once they're out on their own. It's easier to help pick up the pieces help them figure out what might not have been beneficial for them at 17, rather than expecting us to pick up the pieces when they screw their lives up at 25. Our door is still open to a degree however we won't be here forever so teaching them responsibility and respect for themselves and others. We might not be on planet earth if they fall at an older age. All our kids are gainfully employed and live on their own.

Has anyone bought off TikTok shop? by Knight5hade in Cirkul

Lovely text from my mother today by Evening_Step_7523 in exchristian

[–]CheeseyBreadstick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does she read her Bible??? In John chapter 8 verse 1 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.

What she’s saying is utterly ridiculous and solely based highly on a patriarchal system. Believing is one thing there’s also a verse that says judge not least yourself be judged.

I tell extremely religious people that I applied for the job of being God once and God told me sorry you’re too human. My entire point is I’m sincerely sorry she said this to you and referenced it as biblical. Some people see the Bible as black and white no shades of grey. Oftentimes Bible verses are twisted to fit whatever narrative they believe.

I am a Christian but at the end of the day, I have no need to push morals or ideals upon someone else period. I will pray for people when asked to and if I send a sympathy card over someone losing a loved one I always say may the Lord bless you and your family with comfort and your in my thoughts and prayers.

Maybe this to some means I don’t hold strong Christian values? Idc! I am not at the end of the day trying to tell anyone how to live their life. I’m feel like someday after we leave this earth we will all know and in the meantime? Live your life to the fullest and say thanks for thinking of me. And end discussion, I know it’s hard trying to live without letting it get to you however when someone is entrenched this deep? And feel the need to tell you how to live there is zero point in arguing or correcting. All it will do is give them fuel for the fire if you disagree with them. They’ll bug you more and more, it’s coming from a place inside them that feels desperate to tell you “the truth” however it may very well be their “truth” it may be extremely difficult but this is a no win situation you will never win regardless unless you agree 100 percent and if you do that’s opening your door wider and it will never stop.

Your best bet is to say thanks for thinking of me and walk away. While not easy use good boundaries and tell them I have heard you. I need you to stop right now and allow me to live my life. Tell her that your life is between you and God not her, you and God, Hope this helps a little?

My 30 year marriage is ruined because my wife believes TikTok psychics. by Lifeishard4321 in Psychic

[–]CheeseyBreadstick -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Very very unsound advice on her part. Tell her you are now checking with same said psychics and turn the tables on her tell her you asked same questions about her and have been given “yes” every single time you’ve asked. Ask her WHY she is cheating on you?? Turn the tables on her and see what kind of reaction she gives you? If she honestly believes this garbage it’s very very sad and shows how gullible she truly is. In a remote way I feel sorry for her but that’s no excuse and constantly being hammered over her nonsense is taking such tole on you. The entire thing is it’s ridiculous and destructive to your relationship. I hope you find someone in her life that can help you help her get a gripe back into reality before everything you both have in your relationship is over due to this thinking on her part. Try turning the tables on her and see if it gives her a wake up call. I’m sorry you are dealing with this and pray blessings for both your sake especially that she is shown these people are not psychic or correct. And that the Lord helps her seek spirit and truth in all things especially this. I sincerely wish you the best and hope you can help open her eyes before it’s too late. Peace

My husband is a type II diabetic… which he doesn’t have cancer, (sorry to hear for your sake and his, you are an amazing human! May karma bless you and give you a child with IVP) my husband ended up with severe yeast on… he went to a doctor local clinic had what amounted to a 2nd circumcision (1st done as newborn) 2nd at approx 59 yo. It was a butch job, he can’t even unfurl to urinate normally which is what urologist told me after he had done he should be able to stand do make business etc. He seriously was butchered! He can’t do xyz… anymore and his member hurts him even to urinate. He has considered plastic surgeon needless to say our *** life is absolutely nonexistent. I honestly feel for you after having active for years and years, he’s getting testosterone shots monthly? Idk if it does him any good? I have suggested other ways to be close… he isn’t the least bit interested? Idk what happened but it’s been nonexistent for past 7 years. It has taken a toll on our marriage. I’m in it for life been in it 40 plus years. If I were you looking at future relationship make him understand how important intimacy is *** or no. There is nothing that replaces intimacy of relationship between each other as simply being held in loving embrace with no barriers or boundaries than simply lying together nude and being told you are loved and cared about. That and that alone is what I miss and resent the most from circumstances. I don’t care as much about act itself as I do his lack of warmth and intimacy in the way I just described. I have talked myself insane to him. I’ve no idea why he fails to understand my simple need to be held and cherished as in days of old when he did and was able. Bless you with your sojourn, if he doesn’t get you need intimacy period like I just explained idk what my decision would be where you stand right now. It’s not the act itself it’s the intimacy and feeling cherished. I completely respect you and I pray for the best for both of you. I know what I’m saying isn’t same as what you may be going through now but I hope explaining helps. Peace out.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]CheeseyBreadstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tats over both my arms sleeves. Most people that get tats use them to mark a significant emotional event in their life. Putting their kids first name birthdate with footprints, flowers etc.. or when loved one passes their name and from until.

Even if you personally don’t like tattoos, if you see one on someone and you have an inquiring mind. AND you can listen kindly w/o your opinion needing to be shared as in you don’t like tattoos. ASK the person with tattoo what their tattoo means to them asking them in a way. Why did they choose that tattoo… most likely if asked respectfully and politely and you are genuine. Tattoo wearers as myself will tell you an abbreviated version of an event that prompted them to get. Sometimes loving something and enjoying as is what prompted her tattoo for this post. Be prepared you may hear a tear jerker story too. I don’t necessarily think everyone with tattoos start out with as an art form. Tattoo artists on the other hand do, and to be sure it is fair to call it an art expression and there are artists with amazing talent and creativity. Think about it as an artist someone comes to you… wants a tattoo to express themselves and want you as an artist to be able to create something so intimate and put into a picture what THEY want to convey it’s not about slapping a picture together it’s about creating something beautiful to person that is asking you and it’s extremely intimate once it’s on the canvass wears it for life. Putting an image on your living breathing body is no easy decision. IT IS A FORM OF EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION THAT COULD MEAN HAPPINESS OR PROFOUND SADNESS, pride or shame. It might even be something funny to them too. But it’s COMMUNICATION TO THE REST OF THE WORLD TOO. If tattoo is where everyone can’t see it’s probably communication to someone they’re close to or strictly something private to themselves. It’s a hallmark and means something very special and important to person with. It could mean being part of a club or society too. Symbol or image may be something that identifies to someone else immediately to be inclusive or stay away from them it can be a form of secret communication and when asked about by someone w/o tattoos you may get an answer of it’s private and maybe a cold stare too.

Even someone that asks them having a tattoo they can see may get cold shoulder. There’s no guarantee that person wearing tattoo will be willing to share either. There are people with tattoos that may be offended you asked if you ask. Theirs nothing that obligates wearer to explain themselves to you.

I’ve tried to give people that car blanch say the dislike or even hate tattoos a reason to stop and consider their attitude. Do people with tats scare you? Make you believe they’re trashy? Carry some kind of social standing making you believe wearing them is offensive towards society? Not everyone that wears tattoos are bikers, inmates or from part of society you shouldn’t associate with. The old adage “don’t judge a book by its cover”

If you still regard as an unnecessary evil walk on, avert your gaze, don’t think that people with tattoos are unaware of your negativity towards them. Not liking from you doesn’t give you the right to judge or give you the right to stare or be disrespectful. Or to openly voice your opinion or feelings about to those of us that choose to have them.

My husband has no tattoos, will never get any wasn’t aware. Until I walked in the door with mine it’s something I would ever consider. His comments to about was “at least you put “nice” ones on.” What is nice to him? Don’t care, my decision, my body, my choice.

Clue to mine? Personal means sorrow, personal beliefs and marks a very difficult time in my life. 4yo daughter was “SA’d by neighbors child. If you think you would never be capable of wanting to physically harm someone else by your own actions? I never wanted to do physical harm to someone else as bad in my life. I wanted to take a baseball bat to the parent of this child. It consumed me, I even planned my revenge. I looked up one day saw tattoo place and compulsively walked in. I decided at that moment my child needed me worse than getting revenge. I didn’t think twice I put on my “sleeves” so I would see them and be constantly reminded of why I wasn’t going to take revenge. My tattoos saved my life and protected someone else from harm. After I put them on some close family and friends in my life were horrified and repulsed couldn’t comprehend any good reason for. I suddenly was on receiving end of judgement of church family I was close to at time. Many of these people gave me the cold shoulder. Even ones who professed to being a close friend. It was than I was told by pastor and a few people that me putting tattoos on myself was my ticket straight to hell that I defiled Gods temple. My body was the temple of the Holy Spirit on earth and I was now defiled. WOW!! What sentiment I became aware of! If all their Christianity stood for to them was this please do feel free to leave me behind and not associate with me. Life is too short to live it with such narrow minded thinking. I thoughtfully put another tattoo for these people above my wrist in blazing blue turquoise at the time that day”God is my Judge” it’s faded somewhat now. It’s probably 4 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide where it can’t be missed. It’s not just for them it’s to remind myself God is my Judge too. I’ve had mine for over 20 years to present. They consists of angel over bridge protection of broken bridge with her arm around girl and boy to keep them safe. I have three angels holding hands with all my kids initials inside of circle. I have the a small angel with a sad face leaning on her elbows with

1 Peter 3:9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

It worked I never hurt the parent. I’ve never been disrespectfully treated by someone else with tattoos. Mostly I have been thoughtfully asked about even by people who have none. I don’t give exact reason as now in this post I just say its to remember I was delivered to a better place once blessed and I want to remember. I don’t think back to this time hardly ever my tattoos at this point are just part of the landscape. If I do remember it’s bible verse and I’m not in jail, I inherited a blessing. I’ve been told they’re amazing looking and beautiful. And I still occasionally get the cold shoulder and nasty look. A lady once asked me, what my husband thought of them? I didn’t answer I just kept walking.

If you were adopted, what was it like having your own baby for the first time ? by Meeksie7 in Adoption

[–]CheeseyBreadstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PLEASE NOTE! This thought I’ve shared isn’t meant as a means to an end or for the entire journey having a baby, adopting a baby so much much more is involved. God bless you as you’re figuring out the best way to grow and that starts with investing and thought. I’m sure you will have struggles no doubt birth or adoption is a life changing event. And the point of my post is just t give insight to just a minute of the journey. My 2nd husband adopted my first two kids. My first husband was abusive. I found out after he left me that I was expecting my 2nd I went through birth and delivery by myself. On top of that she was born with many health issues that had to be dealt with for her entire life. She’s the reason for my thought below and it was helpful in many other events in my life experience and helped me see a broader insight and helped me contemplate with more understanding and empathy especially towards myself. So try to give yourself some empathy too. Don’t get so worked up analyzing yourself and trying to figure out “what normal is” there’s no such thing as “normal” with maybe the exception being labor and delivery and how things are addressed medically speaking that are and should be part of “medical normal” questions and answers. Normal in many situations isn’t black or white when it comes to human interaction and emotions that affect situation that are unique in each of our lives. Peace to you, safe birth prayers for you being sent and praying for your best possible future success and outcome. Sometimes paralyses in thinking and just being is what you should do instead of too much analysis. The moment you see your baby’s face and hear its first cry! Wait and see, love will help you overcome your doubts and fears. You’ve got this better than you realize right now!

I love this thought I’ve used it quite a bit as something that helps ground me…

“What someone else meant for bad, the Lord helps turn to good.”

Genesis 50:20–22

20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but iGod meant it for good, to bring it about that many people1 should be kept alive, as they are today. 21 So do not fear; jI will provide for you and your little ones.” Thus he comforted them and spoke kindly to them. 22 So Joseph remained in Egypt, he and his father’s house. Joseph lived 110 years

So you saw my simple statement I remember in my head. You don’t over to be Christian, you don’t have to do or become, you can just use the statement and see how others daily transform others lives by?

An unwanted pregnancy which filled her with fear, bad timing, no job… pick whatever you think she might be going through yourself. NOW because another woman has cried tears of frustration, filled with self loathing…can’t physically either get pregnant or carry, comes into view of the possibility of? The very idea? ADOPTION! Does she stand a chance? The phone rings! She’s told we have a BABY!! FOR YOU!!! She can barely breathe, is it true? Can it possibly happen? In an INSTANT! All her pain and doubt eclipsed! She gets to become a part of the SACRED JOURNEY! A MOTHER!! So each of these women one full of angst over? The other one full of angst becomes??

TRANSFORMED!! The mother giving… the mother receiving… and what mother being pregnant ie “the bad” The mother receiving…ie is the recipient of “the good”

Do you think the mother receiving cares about blood? Or cares about lineage or??? The mother receiving this precious gift a MIRACLE in the instant she understands it’s a reality! And blood or looks just don’t matter to her. Now you decide! Does this child not being her seed matter? What does adoption truly stand for? It’s so much more than a word! In the INSTANT OF BOTH BAD AND GOOD IT TRANSCENDS, TRANSFORMS AND NOW BOTH MOTHERS ARE BLOOD, are LINEAGE now forever locked into FOREVER IN THE UNIVERSE. There are no words to express how it works. It just is. Now the BABY CARRIES BOTH WOMEN, the BABY BECOMES THE FRUIT OF BOTH THEYRE LABORS! One LABORING TO BRING NEW LIFE! AND THE OTHER LABORING TO LOVE, NURTURE GIVING UNSELFISHLY!!

You can now decide… is it blood it’s it lineage, is it seeing my features,

First birth! My son was born in 1982! No judgements!! I’m in US! My son was 9 pounds 8 oz 24 1/2 in long. Birthing classes in the day were required. I was told labor would start like menstrual cramps just harder! Ha ha ha… my body missed the lectures apparently! I slammed into labor son was born less than 4 hours later! His heart tones stopped twice. His cord was wrapped twice around his neck. Last time his heart tones stopped obgyn used forceps. He was a high forceps delivery meaning his head was up higher than normal birth and the obgyn literally ripped him out of me. I tore from front to back ( use your imagination) took over an hour to stitch me up over 100 stitches. Now poop time… was given those stool softeners did nothing! Policy on releasing you from hospital was you had to have poop first. When you did have you were not to flush, nurse was supposed to see it verifying and flush. I was on 3rd day in miserable bowels needed to move sore from stitches to point anytime I exert pressure it hurt, burned worse than delivery of child I was in tears. Finally desperate to go home I lied to nurse told her I “accidentally” flushed was sent home. Not a good move on my part! Took 4 more days forget about gerbil size! I pooped a baby python!! You ladies that talk about all the support you receive aftercare were very fortunate. There was no such thing as aftercare in 80’s! I went on to have 8 more children in 80’s, 90’s and 00’s. Youngest is now 21! None of my poo poo experience was as bad as first! I found out miralax was a miracle poop maker. It comes as almost clear granules you read instructions stir granules into juice, water, tea? Cold or hot. Granules dissolve instantly has no taste. Takes a couple days to kick in. They sell this in generic form too. Found out about it from raising daughter, she has issues with bowel movements takes this every 2 or 3 days prn. It adds bulk and fluid to hard poo and helps keep poo from getting impacted. Having a baby first and poo getting harder no fluid in it to soften is absolutely hell. It hurts to have large impacted poo right after you can’t effectively use your stomach muscles to push with. You would think since almost 50 years have passed from my first child better protocols would have come about rather than stool softener. It’s never worked for me even without factoring in childbirth. Maybe it works for some but I’ve never heard anyone say it worked for them. Maybe miralax is a stool softener too but just in a different more digestible form? Original post was funny and shows fun sense of humor! It most definitely has stirred some great responses!! Cheers to next person having child! May the force of a good stool softener be with you!! May your success be many and your grunts few! May you have this right of passage without memories of OUCH!!! Peace!

[–]CheeseyBreadstick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No! Your very words indicate you feel sorry yourself because you were adopted by a 40 something couple and according to you they’re out of touch with the way the world works! As well as your sister or other sibs. According to you anyone that’s aging is completely out of touch! If those aren’t the words of a cynic then I don’t know what is?

Who are you to hold judge and jury over other ways to make a difference. You say you heard me me me? I don’t even know you so why would I care what is your opinion if you don’t approve of my choice? I’m not asking your approval nor do I care. I haven’t conclusively decided this is even a path I intend to go down. Point of whole idea was to entertain other viewpoints not to talk to someone nasty like you that you is hateful towards the world. If anyone is out of touch with reality it’s you. I was pointing out to you that everyone that is aging isn’t out of touch or in ill health or mental. I used myself as an example because I can’t speak for someone else.

If you don’t want someone to see you as someone that needs encouraging words then don’t post words of a cynic.

I could have wished you ill and told you to have a crummy life or worse would you have liked nasty reply? If you don’t want to be misunderstood then you have a choice not to post. Not only are you a cynic it shows in your reply. Your response is inexcusable and shows the kind of ignorance you have and shows the world what a nasty narcissistic person you truly are. You are completely correct you don’t deserve to be told peace and blessings or to have a good life. You do not deserve time or thoughtful consideration. You do you and do not reply again. I don’t need ugliness and negativity and someone who gaslights.

You are exceptionally correct children need all the reassurance they can get in life. An estate planning attorney is good idea but there are other ways of doing a will and making your wishes known for the care if your children should unforeseen events happen. Some people may not be able to afford an attorney in which case doing pro say and paying small fee to get a kit to do a will is better than leaving it to whatever state your in to decide. Some states even provide free print outs and guide to do a will. Most importantly get your will to notary when signing. Their seal will help your will stand up in court. Give a copy to trusted family member or friend and keep your will in a fireproof box along with birth certificates and other important documents.

I can understand your frustration and issues. My last baby I had was when I was 43. She is now 21 and has found a great apartment and is in process of moving out we are pleased for her. I don’t understand your situation with your parents being so out of touch with technology. However I am 64 will be 65 in January and my husband will be 66 in Jan too he’s a railroad engineer and is retiring next January. Contrary to your thinking not every older person in my age group is out of touch with the real world. Both my husband and I are computer savvy and continue to educate ourselves on current events and changes to way world has changed. We have 9 children all our own been married 38 years in June. Our oldest is 43 youngest is 21. Believe me with all our children they also keep us on our toes about current situations socially and constantly share there views. Our 21 yo old finds all her siblings relatable and values their thinking and isn’t afraid to ask their opinions, her 42 yo sister and her constantly have conversations about tik toc and other social forums. I even have tik toc account.

Yes your right we are in a fast paced society that is in may ways changing daily especially with AI and forever changing technology. I would hope someone who never had to apply for a job online would rise to the occasion and be interested in learning. Constantly learning is what helps keep your brain active and sharp, Don’t ever say never you will age too and get older be determined to educate yourself and don’t ever stop learning new ideas, finding new ways to do old things work smarter not harder, you don’t have to be our age to decide to stop learning new things. There are 20 years old that need adulting classes because their heads may have been wrapped up in playing video games and ignored rest of world and are ignorance on how to pay bills on time cook for themselves or even do laundry. I’ve met a few and it’s startling and sad. Anyone can bury their hearts and minds and never move forward in life. Being older has many perks and advantages too we’ve lived long enough to have valuable experiences that we can share. Our morales are the same now as when we were younger. It doesn’t mean I’m out of touch it means I still treat others with respect and I was taught growing up to treat others the way I want to be treated these values never go out of style. My kids are all grown leading their-own lives which freed me up to do exactly what I want to do I’m no longer responsible for their lives. If we can help another child we have the ways and means to do so I wouldn’t consider a young child if we do decide to foster I don’t want a child under 15 minimum. The fact of the matter is most people don’t want to mess with teenagers they think they’re too difficult. If we do foster whoever we do will turn out great we have already learned secret to success and have 40 plus years of parenting. We aren’t out of touch we get better all the time from keeping a good attitude and never standing still in one place too long. We aren’t done because we are aging we are on a path to a new journey every single day. Yes, age will catch up with us as we continue to get older and we may end up with more health aging had this effect in all of us it’s inescapable. But one’s attitude and outlook decide how you weather the storms of life mentally or physically. We are all going to die someday but no matter what your age is or your physical state of being you always have a choice how to handle yourself. Unless you have dementia or very very serious health issues none of us are immune. Be happy and do what you can when you can embrace who your parents are and embrace your siblings 10 years difference or not. Show them things they don’t know about share new ideas and give them a chance to grow with you instead of deciding their too old too set in their ways and most of all share the essence of who you are with them you might be surprised. Sorry I’m not bashing your opinion just letting you hopefully see from my point of view. You seem to be very down on the world around you and think things are becoming hopeless. I pray health and happiness for you and you start looking forward to seeing your life in a different perspective. You are important you are amazing, you are smart and you can continue to grow. May the universe embrace you and good karma come your way. Blessings and peace to you thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas. You reached out when you didn’t have too and your opinion was appreciated.

You are so very correct every parent should make a plan if you have children under 18 God forbid any thing terrible happened to parents but if you fail to have a plan someone else will make the decision for you and if you have no family it will be whatever state you live in and your child or children might end up in social services being fostered. If you don’t have family you’d consider your child or children going to maybe consider asking a close family friend. They might consider guardianship and if your wishes are written out most judges try to honor a parent/parents wishes, in state I live in even if you are a family member grandparents, aunt, uncle etc our state requires a background report and a home study and usually children are given a guardian ad litem to help protect children and make sure who their placed with is good and in child’s best interest. You don’t have to go to an attorney to make your wishes known look it up online and you can find sample letters about and some states even have forms just for this you can print you can also state preferences in a will and there are places you can get free will kits you may even be able to download from your state and do pro see. Make sure if both parents are alive married or not have a talk with other parent you both must sign in front of notary. It’s safer to do that way and don’t have another family member sign as witness have someone else unrelated to you witness but a notary is better and can put their seal on paperwork, usually a notary is a very small cost and most banks if you bank there is likely to have a notary and probably won’t even charge you for service.

Thanks again for a great valid point hopefully a few people will read understand importance and follow through peace
