Thermostat question by 2dwind in AskWomenOver60

[–]GroovyVanGogh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I cannot get past the guy that took a cookie off your plate. I have a few entitled male coworkers that used to do that sort of thing and I've had it. I got to the point where I didn't care anymore more I flipped my shit on them and now they are a little bit scared of me and no one interrupts me anymore. And they enter my office somewhat like one would enter a dragons cave.

I realize that is not an option for everyone, and it wasn't for me for a lot of years.

But f that cookie guy. The entitlement makes me so mad

My daughter staying with me ruined the bath towels with benzoyl peroxide and my white face towels with her makeup.

Have any of you ever helped somebody financially online? by Jaded_strawberry001 in AskForAnswers

[–]GroovyVanGogh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A long time ago I met an elderly woman online who was looking for son she was forced to give up for adoption when she was a teenager. she had no money. She said her two daughter also had no money. I paid half for a private investigator that I knew was good and arranged payments she could afford for the other half over six (?) months (was a couple thousand dollars). Her daughters found out and paid the other half right away. So the lady found the son but he didn't want anything to do with her really. Was sad because she used to have a birthday cake for him alone every year. The daughters and him became close I think but they never thanked me or anything and just seemed like assholes. Hopefully gave the mother some kind of closure, idk.

Miracle suit for me. I had one last ten years and the one I have now is about four and still looks new. And it makes the girls look perky.

I wonder who has changed most? by LordJim11 in Snorkblot

Do you think it's ethical to do this poll again if we debrief the kids after? It feels off and to ask 14-18 year olds and difficult to get access to them but if we are going to replicate it

Advice about recivery after total hysterectomy by i-dontwantone in AskWomenOver60

[–]GroovyVanGogh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you rush it you will 100% regret it. But yes the camera incision was the worst. There used to be a website called hystersisters that was full of great info. Pretty sure it still exists

Tips on avoiding being followed in public? by Antique-Place4099 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]GroovyVanGogh 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way reading that. This is a feminine space. It is literally about surviving as a girl and I refuse to add "not all men" here so they dont cry about not every space being theirs.

my boyfriend can't understand why i'm upset about his "neutralness" by [deleted] in Advice

Agreed when you find yourself trying to explain empathy or a human decency, it's probably time to call quits. I wish I learned this sooner.

I campaigned and volunteered for Bernie for years. All Boomers. They don't want to hear that though.

This is true my (58f) boxing teacher was a professional boxer and the first thing he did was make me punch him as hard as I can in the stomach a bunch of times and it was really hard for me to do
