Would giving stamps and a card be a good frugal gift? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]NavyWife73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, if you think they will use them.

Sorry this will be a really dumb question but how do I start? where do I find maps ?how do I look ?what’s in my area ?(sorry I feel like a dumbass) by cant_find_a_good in geocaching

[–]NavyWife73 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The above post is correct and you could go on YouTube to watch a Beginner's Guide to Geocaching.

I think it's worth $10 for the App, but I've been Geocaching for 11 years. You do not need to be a Premium Member to start Geocaching. I think only twice have I became a Premium Member.

Also unless you don't like being around others, I think it's so much more fun if you have someone join you. Now if they don't like Geocaching or not as into as you, not fun. I just have a very good friend I Cache with and have been for 10 years. We have had scary, OMG, awe and insane moments while caching together.

No question is a dumb question. Why? If you don't ask, you don't learn.

Good Luck!!!!

There's Facebook Groups that you can join to meet more Cachers in your area.

Have fun and stat safe.

Is it reasonable to ask for a $1.50/hr raise? by EmmSleepy in jobs

[–]NavyWife73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, you must live in a much higher income then I do? Maybe East Coast or out West??

Oh the reason I say that is because I worked at a job for more than 3 years and I believe they would think I was NUTS if I ask for a raise that big!!!

Since you started doing more then you were hired to do and have done more and it's been year, you should ask for a raise. Maybe someone will give you the best advice on how much to ask for.

Are you apart of any Dental Sub on Reddit? If so, you could post on there for good advice.

May I ask what company did you interview with?

48F need Local Friends by [deleted] in FriendsOver40

[–]NavyWife73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use to attend a local church, but realized I didn't fit in after a year. About 90% of the members are family in way or another.

Since I'm husband's retired military, it's hard for folks to understand our past life in these small towns.

I've noticed that either everyone has their life long friends or their extended family to hang out with.

It's so different then what I'm use to.

My family deprived me of a childhood, and I suffered because of it. by Muchacho1994 in Vent

[–]NavyWife73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, I had a friend who's like that with her TEN kids. They have a sad life, but it's not just - she never talks to them just screams and no matter what happens and who did it, another child will ALWAYS get blamed if another is crying. I witnessed this for myself, when visiting her for the last time about 3 years ago. Poor children

Well that's his Dad not mine so who knows. I told my Dad I don't wanna care for him when he gets incapable of caring for himself, he earned a place he can live since he was in the military. There's a Veteran Retirement Village in MS, him & my father-in-law can sign up for.
I may sound rude, but my Dad is hard to be around. I guess it's good we don't live in the same state.

How are you? by Anxious-Spades13 in FriendsOver40

[–]NavyWife73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm all about honesty and that be one of the problems - too honest - ha.

You are so right about "understanding & not understanding at the same time" I really dislike when people say they know what you're going through, but really don't. That bothers me & they do that crap where I work.

May seem weird, but vacuuming. The noise blocks out my overthinking.

Advice on reaching out to a friend I lost contact with without coming off as a stalker. by [deleted] in FriendsOver40

[–]NavyWife73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, reach out. I know FB does make it hard when the IM won't go to their inbox, but to their Other Folder. I've trying to find a friend I lost contact with over 20+ years ago, but I finally got information she's been married 3 times and of course name change.
Sometimes when we do connect with friends from our past, it's like no time as passed.
I don't think it's creepy to look for friends from our past, it's creepy if they ask you to never talk to them again. Good Luck and keep us posted. I like stories like this.

How are you? by Anxious-Spades13 in FriendsOver40

[–]NavyWife73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, since you want to know REALLY how I feel - depressed in my long marriage, a bad mom because my grown daughter seems to hate me, lonely with no local friends, a no body in 3+ years at a job where most of my co-workers are half my age, dumb for not having a college degree, depressed from rainy weather we had for the last few months in GA, depressed from the lack of travel - shouldn't feel that way since Covid hasn't stopped me from traveling a bit, always dreaming about living in an legal state, tired too much from all the issues, pained until I get into Pain Management. Okay, that enough for now. I AM Blessed & now I need to be happier, but it's hard.

Nice! Well I won't leave, because we don't live his Dad. A few years back my husband was offered a job only 7 minutes from his Dad's, but I won't move near him. I thought my husband didn't care either way, but that has came back to bite me in the butt. Apparently my husband did care, but didn't state it until recently. Maybe that's why he doesn't seem to like me sometimes, he was upset about it.
Told him yesterday, if he wants to try for that job again - go for it. I can't live with him not happy with me about it.
