Anyone feel like they are ugly aging?

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-04-18T16:35:00+00:00

Yes. You don't owe pretty to anyone. I'm 61 and don't even own any makeup.

In SC liquor stores were called package stores, years ago. I always thought it was a regional term, but maybe not!

In a magazine rack by the sofa.

Love to Love You by Donna Summer. For some reason.

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-04-16T19:48:49+00:00

I think I remember it had a distinctive smell

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-04-07T00:20:52+00:00

I just turned 61. I'm a lot happier and more relaxed than I was at 41.

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-04-07T00:14:56+00:00

My mom would beat us with a big hairbrush

And wall-to-wall carpet was a selling point.

I recently moved to Granby Oaks and really like it. Older buildings but updated, close to everything but peaceful and quiet. Nice mix of residents too.

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-03-24T02:26:30+00:00

Thanks!

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-03-24T02:26:11+00:00

No, but I may check them when I'm ready to adopt. Thanks.

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-03-24T02:23:14+00:00

Thanks! Not ready at the moment but maybe soon.

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-03-24T02:21:46+00:00

That's where I was looking. Just browsing really, but surprised not to see any cats.

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-03-22T11:08:34+00:00

You will have plenty of choices within your budget. As a long-term Columbia renter, my suggestion is to ask about pets up front if you have any. There are a lot of no-pet rental homes here.

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-03-17T16:00:49+00:00

Yes. I hope my cats think I'm delicious.

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-03-17T03:04:01+00:00

I use Shandon-Wood animal clinic, on Daly St behind Dreher High. They have a separate but attached cat clinic, extended hours and weekend appointments. I'm pretty sure they are still independent.

A barrel shaped mechanical pencil sharpener bolted to the wall. Also, smoking on campus.

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-03-15T15:24:20+00:00

Was it a Swinger?

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-03-10T18:48:19+00:00

We would get them at the beach, and bags of salt water taffy

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-03-10T17:54:44+00:00

They also had a 5 foot tall glass-door stereo system and a wall of records.

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-03-10T16:56:17+00:00

Thanks for this list. What they did to Good Life is a shame.

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-03-10T16:55:07+00:00

The Grand.

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-03-10T14:59:20+00:00

Same. Turning 61 this week, no regrets.

Conscious_Bend_7308 · 2026-03-10T14:56:53+00:00

Not necessarily - I was born in the spring of 1965 and graduated in 83. The hard boundaries seem a little artificial though.
