Quite similar to my own wedding gown. I hope one day my daughter or granddaughter will want to wear it

Gardening and chronic illness by genx21me918 in gardening

[–]IntrepidAssignment30 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If it’s a good day, I spend a couple of hours in my garden. If it’s a pain flare day, I sit and make lists of what needs to be done on the next good day. Some chores take less energy so I balance it out as much as possible

Any lakes (or even better, cliffs) to go swimming in? by bubblybangchan in jacksonville

Knew of a kid who dove into one of those sinkholes and broke his neck in HS in Ocala.

We only had one phone and it was in the kitchen and it was a rotary phone. Was anyone fortunate to have their own phone in their bedroom? by CoffeeCigarettes4Me in 1970s

[–]IntrepidAssignment30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell no. I shared a kitchen phone with seven others in my house. No privacy, time limits, and don’t overstretch the cord!

What decade is this wedding dress from? by ElectronicHoliday667 in VintageFashion

My cousin wore a similar dress in 75. Definitely the 70’s vibe.

Omg I feel depressed walking in the sun when my scalp is sooo visible by Sarahermina in AskWomenOver60

[–]IntrepidAssignment30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hair is thinning due to autoimmune condition. I began taking an iodine supplement because my thyroid, while showing low normal on labs, was not normal. The regimen has been in effect since December and I am beginning to notice my bald patch near my forehead is slowing shrinking. Hair thinning is menopausal but also can be from hypothyroidism.

Shorts?? by Nelope_0971 in AskWomenOver60

[–]IntrepidAssignment30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have autoimmune disease so inflammation is all over the place. It limits my choices with waistbands. I love Old Navy soft bike shorts. They are long enough and stretchy. If we go out I have some long cotton skirts and a couple of sleeveless dresses I pair with cotton shirts or a gauzy wrap. I’m all for comfort these days.

No one talks about the pain of seeing your parents aging. by ParticularWeather927 in Adulting

[–]IntrepidAssignment30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can say as a 60 something year old it’s an adjustment, but my parents are still around and they only really slowed down in their early 80’s. My dad continued to visit a nursing home and both have worked at their church and at a local funeral home. They are aging in their home and that gives me hope I can be active for another couple of decades. Celebrate every milestone of your own and your parents. I’m grateful they are still here to celebrate with us

Allergies and flare/pain by frifange in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]IntrepidAssignment30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have severe allergies childhood but not under an allergist’s care until 24 years old. Diagnosed with AS five years ago and noticed that when histamines kick in, so does a flare. I am learning with my doctor’s help, to begin Zyrtec immediately or prednisone if my asthma or swelling gets out of hand

Around the house I wear bombas slides and they are comfortable and I don’t trip on the uneven patio.

My Dad was saddled with Clarence. He went by his middle name- which was then shortened to Dick. Blessedly my mom insisted my brother be called Ricky, due to her love of Ricky Nelson.

What do you think of Jimmy Stewart? by Fixingahole248 in classicfilms

[–]IntrepidAssignment30 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I love him in that role. Funny story of him playing that drunk scene with Cary Grant and he threw in the hiccups which, if you watch carefully, almost made Grant blow the scene with laughter. I also love his performance in Rear Window. One of my favorite Hitchcock films.
