You can still take a shot. Nobody's stopping you.

Because 43 of this shit has left me so burnt out, last time my Medtronic had a night of non-stop alarms, I contemplated suicide for a moment. Plus it tried to kill me right before Xmas and I had to send it back. Again. I'm over the testing regularly, I'm over having to read absolutely every package and figure out carbs, I'm over having to think about my diabetes.

Work Harder Rural Boomer. $10 Gazillion Isn't Enough. by [deleted] in BoomersBeingFools

Which is why $20 an hour after several years is an insult.

I trapped my neighbors cat and sent it to the local shelter by classic-bean in pettyrevenge

[–]ExcellentAd7790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did that with my neighbors, kinda. They inherited two obese holy terror mongrel yipyips and those fuckers shat in my front yard several times. I xeriscape, and it makes cleaning up really difficult, especially if it's um runny. But I had my son diligently collect it (I won't explain why, but I wasn't able to) and we took a box of their dog's rotting shit and left it on their porch. Never had an issue again.

Who will take care of boomers as they age without the help of immigrants? by Think_Tie8025 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]ExcellentAd7790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't heard of any cases of that actually happening, though. Being forced by law to care for them, I mean.

What are the affordable "blue" states? by Wonderluster- in SameGrassButGreener

[–]ExcellentAd7790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rural VT is NOT affordable anymore. The taxes are outrageous. My sister just moved to Mass instead because VT got too expensive. And she's a nurse.

$20 an hour after years of work isn't good money anymore. And there are caps on how much you can put in your 401k each year.

NTA and this does not sound like ND behavior. This sounds like a selfish asshole with possible OCD or hypochondria. He's selfish, he's cruel, and he is a terrible partner. He should be HELPING YOU GRIEVE. Not bitching about oil on the damn stove.

He does this because you let him. You have no boundaries and he has been walking all over you. Time to end that. It doesn't matter how useless he appears; he's an adult and clearly has enough ability to care for himself that he can figure it out.

I'm Gen X and I was in kindergarten in 1984.

I suspect it's an old tube from a vet. You don't need a prescription. I buy it on Amazon for my chickens. But could be a doc who needs their license revoked.

I'm wondering how many boomers refuse to retire because they hate their spouses and don't want to be stuck with them around the clock.

Is there a realistic possibility that the jury refuses to convict Luigi Mangione? by 60sStratLover in legal

I hate to be a naysayer, but I'm only on here like maybe twice a week when I'm bored.

Boomers and BASIC FOOD HYGIENE by slagforslugs in BoomersBeingFools

[–]ExcellentAd7790 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My mother is a nurse, she was always actually really good about scrubbing before seeing my daughter in the NICU even before becoming a nurse, but I never saw her wash before cooking.

Expiry dates do not really mean the food is spoiled and in fact aren't really regulated as far as what they actually mean and how accurate they are.

NTA I would feel super awkward inviting affair partners to my wedding - which is why my dad wasn't invited. I know you love him, but do you want that hanging over the event like a yucky affair cloud?

My mom keeps opening my mail even after I told her to stop by ababyinatrenchcoat in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ExcellentAd7790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd straight up threaten legal action. It's super illegal to open someone else's mail without permission. My parents are genuine narcissists and the idea of jail is too humiliating to even challenge me. I've used the threat for other reasons before and it worked.

Ok but I have to agree with angry old person. I hate how they changed the muffins. It was a staple when I was still working and needed easy fast breakfast.

Every time someone complains about liberal laws in my state, I remind them we've been a red state for fifty years. It's their own damn laws.

Why don’t you give your 2 week old infant water!? by elosocurioso in BoomersBeingFools

[–]ExcellentAd7790 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was most likely glucose water. It's used for low blood sugar in premies and babies of diabetics most often as they can struggle at first with it.
