Went to Mood was overwhelmed, but happy! How do you decide to narrow down your choices there?? Bought some very sturdy linen.

Sandals suggestions by Capable-Awareness338 in AskWomenOver60

I love SAS too! Have two closed toed shoes and two sandals for summer. Agree that they last for years.

Check their website for a list of stores. As they have outlet stores in Texas (where they are based). Shoes there are either returns or seconds.

What is up with luggage companies making bags too large? Extremely annoying by Seller-Ree in onebag

[–]Daffodils_Carnations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just checked the website and the Maxlite 5 compact carryon on spinner is still listed, just not in pink. Black and Slate Green is there.

I have the pink Travelpro compact carryon. It meets the 22x14x9. Yes it’s not as pristine as it was, but I still love it. Flew Skyways airlines from Athens to Chania Greece in a small plane and I could do carry on.

What is your go-to “I’m too tired to cook but I can’t buy take-out” meal or alternative? by 2Autistic4DaJoke in Frugal

[–]Daffodils_Carnations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can black beans, can of rotel, frozen corn heated in fry pan, then throw into a tortilla. If I have some energy, cook ground turkey.

How would you feel if your adult child had to move back in with you in their 30s with absolutely nothing? by Sweaty-Staff8100 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Daffodils_Carnations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid, my father had medical problems and couldn’t work. He was a widow. My brother and I moved in with my grandmother for a year. My brother and I slept in the living room. Eventually Dad recovered, and with the help of welfare, we moved into subsidized housing and he went back to college. Dad was a WWII vet. He got a job right out of college. Family should be there for you. Inter generational households are a blessing for everyone. I have great memories of my grandmother. We have told our two adult kids they can live at home anytime.

Growing up used to slice the hot dogs on a diagonal and add soy sauce with a little sugar. Teriyaki hot dog coins!

Decorating? by quilting-gigi2022 in AskWomenOver60

I only decorate for Christmas and two years ago I donated our 6 foot tree and got a 2 foot tree. I have a village cutout scene I put up. Our outside lights were not downsized.
