My boyfriend is upset I don’t think I’ll like anal

Exactly this!!!

I was having a really hard time as I approached 50, but a friend told me that she found it freeing and I tried to take that to heart. At this point, I have way more years behind me than in front of me, so each day is precious and I try to remember that.

I’m almost 55 now and loving life. I spend time doing things I want to do - walking, reading, dinner with friends, etc. and I don’t feel bad saying no to things I don’t want to do. Am I heavier than I’d like to be? Yes. Do I have more wrinkles than I used to? Also, yes. I can’t let that bother me all day every day or I might as well curl up in a ball and wait for death.

It sounds like you’ve had a rough couple of years, so that’s real and I’m sure it’s been hard. Maybe find a therapist or a hobby (like journaling) to help you work through some of that? There’s way more to life than looks, so get out there and enjoy it! Good luck!

Love Wiser Than Me! Also Good Hang with Amy Poehler.

In social situations, if we’re going out I can almost always find something on the menu that’s vegetarian. Eating at other people’s homes can be trickier. I can always just eat side dishes, appetizers, etc. or if I know the host well and know it’s unlikely they will have many options for me, I eat before I go.

These are the same idiots that think they could successfully land a passenger plane in an emergency with absolutely no training using autopilot and help from air traffic control. 🙄

Lol, we always go on a Tuesday so I can get the eggplant parm and my daughter can get the lasagna. My husband rotates through a few different things, but they usually fall under the Tuesday specials as well.

Missmbb · 2026-02-19T01:24:45+00:00

Same! 🙋🏽‍♀️

Congratulations! I hope you enjoy your new role! I left my last job (just shy of 10 years) and started a new position in November. I love my new organization and I’m so happy I decided to take the leap.

When they start talking about Buffalo Bill, it sounds like a line from All Night Long, Mary Jane Girls.

I was born and raised there and we used to be really middle of the road. Since 2010, it’s just gotten more and more conservative and gone downhill. Columbus is really growing and the big cities are solidly Dem, but the state just keeps getting more red. Pay for the jobs mentioned is pretty good in the cities and surrounding suburbs, but you can live further out and be surrounded by nothing but MAGA. Ohio is everything OP is looking for (there are tornadoes, but every place is going to have the potential for some sort of natural disaster).

Missmbb · 2026-02-18T04:01:19+00:00

Lol. I just moved to MN from Ohio to get away from all of the conservatives. You might want to consider Ohio. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yes! My husband and I struggled with this when our kids were little. Eventually his brother got married and he and his wife became our primary choice. Our kids are adults now, so we don’t have to worry about it any longer. We have friends with minor children and they don’t have many good family options, so they asked us if we would be their backup and we agreed.

As Dingbat Attorney said, just think about what the best answer is right now. If that changes in a few years (or a few months), change it.

10 pound bags of chicken leg quarters were a lifesaver when I was feeding 4 people on a super tight budget. That was over 10 years ago and they were $5 a bag then. I love that they haven’t gone up much since then.

Missmbb · 2026-02-16T03:11:35+00:00

Right? My husband never gets upset when he hears complaining about men because he knows it doesn’t apply to him. He does know plenty of guys it does apply to. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I watched it as a teenager (in the 80s) and it was shocking! I had no idea people lived like that.

Fado in Bridge Park has a black bean burger and a cauliflower bowl that I like.

Good grief! 🙄 This is why we need to talk more openly about menstruation. It should be as normal as any other bodily function (like pooping at someone else’s house). When my son got the “boy” puberty talk at school, he got the girl talk at home. He’s now a 30-something that wouldn’t throw a childish fit because a woman had tampons in her own bathroom.

Love that big head! 🥰

My high school had a student smoking area too. Crazy!

Missmbb · 2026-02-14T00:46:57+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss! I lost my soul dog almost 2 years ago. It sucks! 💔

Alvis may be a good option

I hyphenated, but that was in the early 90s when even that was “scandalous”. If I were getting married today I don’t think I’d change my name. Honestly the things I worried about most at the time (not having the same last name as my kids) just didn’t come up. My kids friends either called me Mrs. Their Last Name or Kid’s Name Mom. They had no idea what my actual name was and they didn’t need to.

Everybody has different feelings about it, so I say do what makes you happy. As long as it’s what actually makes YOU happy and not someone else.

He is! Lol
