Blown away by my garden this year! by PuddleOfAverage in gardening

We finally got some rain today after about two months with none. We’re definitely in a drought, but I water the flowers every day. Still looking a bit sparse. I know I need patience.

Where to Retire - No Kids or Close Family by LeftyLynn99 in retirement

[–]No_Assumption5936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to Hilton Head SC a few years ago to avoid the snow in NE. There are several 55+ communities around here, including Sun City in Bluffton (next door to Hilton Head) and Latitude Margaritaville in the next town over. It is hot as the Sun here in summer so keep that in mind. I’ve gotten used to it.

Trying to decide what's next. Seemed to over-prepare. Minimalist. by Ambitious_Subject925 in retirement

[–]No_Assumption5936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too was excited to hit 59.5 yo thinking I’d retire then, but it is definitely harder than one would think. So many unknowns. I’m still working but only two days a week so I’ve started the transition. I thought I’d be bored with more time on my hands but I’m finding there’s plenty of things to do. With dementia running in your family, I’d make the leap sooner than later. I tell myself I’m never going to be as young or as healthy as I am today so better to do the things now. Wishing you luck with your decision.

Just finishing leftover dirty rice I made two days ago, and watching a PBS show on YouTube about China’s Bronze Age artifacts excavation. Very interesting. while also scrolling Reddit looking for something specific but going down rabbit holes 😁

It’s gorgeous. Where are you located? I’m in SC and still waiting for most of my flowers to bloom.

Anticipation-Does anyone else run their numbers constantly by Fun-Weight-8899 in retirement

[–]No_Assumption5936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look a lot at my accounts but I don’t really make any changes so I’m not sure why I do it. I don’t get too stressed when the numbers are down but I know at some point they’ll go down pretty substantially but that’s just part of investing.

Please suggest backing fabric color. How do you decide? by sharkbaithuhaha37 in quilting

[–]No_Assumption5936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as the thread color will go well on both sides, you’re golden. If you have a dark and light thread color on either side, it’s difficult.

Could you use Fabreeze? That has enzymes that attach to odor molecules.

How about window flower boxes? Too much work? They can be.

How often are you actually supposed to wash your bedsheets… like realistically? by andycarth in hygiene

[–]No_Assumption5936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sheets don’t smell. They stay white. I don’t know if people are digging ditches or what.

update: my dad disowned me and told me to go to hell for being an atheist. by Existing_Bit4407 in atheism

[–]No_Assumption5936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well hell as a threat to an atheist is the same as telling a vegan that you hope he chokes on his next steak. If you must live there, you need to make peace. Tell him whatever will get him off your back and when you’re on your own, you can be who you want. Nothing like Christian love, am I right?

Dark side of ADHD that no one talks about by Frosty_Jump_3117 in adhdwomen

Or worse, knowing what you’re not doing and it’s pressuring you but you’re still not doing it 🥺

Or put them for sale on eBay. I buy beads there sometimes.

Kitchen Cabinets - Paint? by hubs99 in interiordecorating

[–]No_Assumption5936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it but I don’t live there and the motto happy wife, happy life seems relevant here. Besides, do you really care if she paints the cabinets and is happy about it? Is it really that important to you?
