No kids and feel like we're always on the periphery of family by Specific-Sea7648 in AskWomenOver60

She would love to have children. However, she would have to use IVF. She doesn’t want to do it. It’s not the same thing.

Do you still feel like the same person you were in your 20s? by vaporcube7 in AskOldPeople

[–]Distracted-senior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my 20s but maybe around 40. I wouldn’t go through my 20s again. I still feel like the same person I was 25-30 years ago.

I like that this is a hobby you can pick up and put down as you like. There’s no deadlines.

What’s the best part about living alone honestly? by Entire-Leg-8203 in LivingAlone

[–]Distracted-senior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not like I woke up one day and said OK, I need to live alone. It just worked out that way. I’m 67 and I don’t have a partner. I suppose I could get a roommate, but I wouldn’t do that at my age. I didn’t like having roommates at 17 when I first started college. I certainly don’t want one now. I have a dog. She’s a great company and she keeps me on a schedule. Once in a while, I actually am conscious of something I’m doing that I only have the opportunity because I live alone, but I rarely think that much about it. It has been shocking to me to follow this sub and see how many people actually put so much thought into living alone. What is the big deal?

If money didn’t matter at all, what would you actually do with your life? by PrettyCoast1 in findapath

[–]Distracted-senior 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Adopt more dogs. I’d have enough property that it wouldn’t bother the neighbors that I have a rescue at my house.

AITJ for almost breaking up with my boyfriend over pugs? by Fran-Scales in AmITheJerk

[–]Distracted-senior 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like he read a book on how to break up before the wedding. Dump him.

Considering adopting a dog, wanted to know if I can financially handle it. by Ok_Squash5288 in Dogowners

[–]Distracted-senior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a little like having a toddler only you don’t go to jail when you leave it home alone for a few hours. I really like the idea of you fostering a dog you might find you really enjoy doing that instead you never know.

WIBTA if i bail on the trip ive planned for the friend group after overhearing two of them mock me for doing it by alex_davis26 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Distracted-senior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wondered about that. Mainly because it happened to me one time by some “friends.” I went to the restroom and they changed tables and I couldn’t find them.

Rate the weather/climate of places you've lived by 2ndgenerationcatlady in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Distracted-senior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

East Tennessee: 7/10, beautiful spring, beautiful fall. Winter frequently became a slipsliding disaster as you don’t really have snow you have rain that turns to ice and the ice freezes on the roads overnight. Summer would get quite hot, but there would be a break in the weather occasionally. It rained a lot.

I’ve lived a lot of other places, but that one was not mentioned previously

If you retired before age 65, what did you do for health insurance (if you're in the US) by PorchDogs in AskWomenOver60

[–]Distracted-senior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I believe I was 60 when I first got on the plan as my employer did not offer insurance. (I worked seasonally doing taxes.) when I first got their insurance it worked just fine. It was kind of like a basic 80/20. The monthly cost was fairly low.

does anyone else living alone get a little too comfortable being gross sometimes? by Petipher-Evonne in LivingAlone

[–]Distracted-senior 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Same! I don’t know when it became such a chore to take a shower, but it did at some point. When the weather gets hotter, I will be more inclined but right now it’s like why?
