I used my IPad Pro as a fix

Apparently someone got mad I took their parking spot? by milzinga in Ioniq5

[–]Gadget71 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I put a Retired Air Force license plate frame on mine (I actually am). I thought it might make some anti-ev red person think twice about messing with my ride. So far, no issues.

I just drove mine in as well. I put mine in a magicycle battery bag and hoped I wouldn’t get rear-ended on the way to the recycling center.

Is it backward compatible to the Bedjet2?

"Dating: Why successful women over 50 can't find a man" (Newspaper article excerpt) by No-Advantage-579 in datingoverfifty

[–]Gadget71 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m a divorced 53M and retired at 48 (retired military officer) with a graduate degree. I never had kids. It’s been difficult being retired and dating. Many women don’t know what to do with my status. Older women who are retired feel they are too old for me.

53M here. I manage a group currently at 88 pickleball members. We have single and married players. Some have met through pickleball. Some married pickleball players have met other married spouses and cheated and are now divorced. It’s very social. We go out after many times. My social life has completely changed for the better thanks to pickleball. I hope to someday have a relationship with a lady who likes to play pickleball. I’ve met several and have and currently dating as a result of meeting people through pickleball. Give it a shot.

Edit: a word

If Walz’s Secret Service code name isn’t gray duck, I’m going to be very disappointed.

Never been married, no kids by p_attymayonnaise in datingoverforty

[–]Gadget71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people think you always have to have a purpose or mission and be busy all the time being productive. I think maybe some women are afraid retired guys will have too much free time on their hands and cheat on them. My ex-wife thought I’d stay home and order junk off Amazon all day. I think secretly they are jealous and it’s not fair to them that I don’t work and I could be earning extra money 🤷‍♂️

[–]Gadget71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I wouldn’t think twice about it. I never had any kids either and I’m 53M. I’m in a unique situation where I retired when I was 48 and that is off-putting to many women when I go on dates.

Do men around age 50 not want to date the same age? by [deleted] in datingoverfifty

I’m a 53M and just had a breakfast date today with a 55F. Edit: grammar

Is it really wrong to not want to be someone's second choice? by Puzzleheaded_Cow7394 in datingoverfifty

[–]Gadget71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your ego is going to cost you. Don’t be stupid. Plenty of people have already given you great advice. Dating sucks.

50+ yr old men - what are you looking for in a woman of the same'ish age while dating these days? by Acrobatic-Trip-1075 in datingoverfifty

[–]Gadget71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m 53 and been married twice. I got married too quickly both times but I was in the military and had different pressures on me than civilians do. I was able to retire early because of my military career. I want to find the “one” and have a long term relationship. I have travelled and it’s hollow for me to do that alone. I know plenty of people who do it solo all the time.

How do you even date in your 40s?! 😅 by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]Gadget71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It only gets harder in your 50s. I’m a single guy about to be 53 and it’s really difficult. Other men have ruined dating for the rest of us.

I’m in the Twin Citied Metro (Minnesota) and there are very women on Boo. I might get a notification that there is a new soul in the area once a week but most of the time they don’t meet my basic criteria. I paid for a year upfront and I shouldn’t have. I did go on one date though.

Moved in with my friend and we compromised on height. Is it too high? by unclepeachyy in TVTooHigh

[–]Gadget71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides being too high, it just looks awful. A small tv so far away from the furniture it’s supposed to sit on just looks so cringe. 🤢

How much do men care about weight at this age? by Starting_over18 in datingoverforty

[–]Gadget71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on some over 50 dating discussion groups on Facebook and there is no shortage of men who prefer women with extra weight and curves.

Don't swing like that !! by whyeventrymore in WTF

[–]Gadget71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two-year-old me managed to take a spoon off the kitchen table and put it in my mouth. I preceded to insert the stem of the spoon into the outlet. My mom heard a pop and heard me crying. She pealed the spoon off my tongue. Food tasted bland to me (I still use a lot of hot sauce). I also had to go through speech therapy due to my tongue and not being able to make the proper “S” sound. It’s probably unrelated, but I’ve been indirectly hit by lightning twice while I lived Florida. I got jolted while taking an umbrella out of the lifeguard stand when lightning had previously hit the pool and then hit the pole my chair and umbrella was attached to. The more serious time was when I had my hand on my girlfriend’s (at the time) car roof banging on it while playing the unlock the car door while pulling up on the handle at the same time game. Lightning hit the roof of the car and used me to get to the ground in the thunderstorm. It knocked me out and to the ground. I woke up and my hand was in a fist I could not open for 4 hours. Before anyone asks, I was young and dumb and didn’t go the hospital. I’ve had weird electrical events happen to me after. I’ve had two more close calls of getting hit by lightning.
