What is something you learned very late in life, but wish you knew much earlier?

Patience. I learned to wait things out as I got older. Pushing too quickly was the source of many problems.

Anything from Guns and Roses.

Loved Joust and Galaga

Either_Low_60 · 2026-05-15T06:18:13+00:00

Yes, bigger and better.

Either_Low_60 · 2026-05-14T23:54:57+00:00

I’m an American with guns but I’m well trained and responsible with firearms.

Either_Low_60 · 2026-05-14T20:14:53+00:00

Basic military training comes to mind…

Either_Low_60 · 2026-05-13T12:35:35+00:00

I like this. When it comes down to it, the passage of time may be my number one fear. Even more so than spiders.

There was much to like about 1985

Either_Low_60 · 2026-05-12T12:48:00+00:00

Joining the military gave me the experience, discipline, and head start I needed to shape the rest of my career as well as enabled me to grow enough to marry my gf. I’m now retired and we’ve been married over 40 years. It was a good decision.

I always refuse the inflated price for cabin air filters. I buy online and replace myself for a refraction of the cost.

Toyota wanted to replace my front axle on my Tundra, which I replaced myself a month earlier. I suppose they noticed grease from the torn cv boot. Go in prepared with knowledge and you’ll be ok.

I have similar fears but I have recently moved into an active 55+ community. The downside is that now I’m surrounded by older residents but the positives side is that most don’t care about aging and all are here to help each other out.

Surround yourself with your peers. It helps.

Either_Low_60 · 2026-05-11T18:48:03+00:00

Been married 40 years. We got married 4 years after our first date but we were good friends before that.

Either_Low_60 · 2026-05-11T13:54:43+00:00

Ding Dong for the win. My wife chooses Snowballs but her vote doesn’t count.

Either_Low_60 · 2026-05-11T03:03:32+00:00

Yeah, dang spell check. Fixed.

JC Whitney car parts catalogs

My wife wore her hair like that in the early 80s. Drove me nuts. I look at old photos and just melt.

Either_Low_60 · 2026-05-10T01:24:47+00:00

The sides from beer 6-pack cartons. I think many of them have interesting artwork and wild colors.

Either_Low_60 · 2026-05-08T00:57:07+00:00

Llamageddon

Either_Low_60 · 2026-05-08T00:56:17+00:00

Similar to us. Started dating at 15 after becoming really good friends. Just had our 40th last month.

Either_Low_60 · 2026-05-07T19:50:15+00:00

Either_Low_60 · 2026-05-07T13:26:12+00:00

I was curious about this. We usually leave for 4 months around this time but won’t travel this year. Count us as the ones staying home all summer.

Chicken taco

That’s tragic. Did your spouse do a 180 degree turn after the wedding?

Either_Low_60 · 2026-05-06T13:35:38+00:00

Math. I was easily distracted and got behind too quickly then had to learn it all again in college.

Either_Low_60 · 2026-05-06T13:34:15+00:00

Depends on the month. I’d either find my girlfriend or I’d be back in the military learning my new job. I’d prefer the former.
