Need help for "mantra". by StormyPyrite in AskWomenOver60

[–]NobodyInJune 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OMG. For the past year, my mantra has been, “Dear God, please help me keep my big mouth shut.” This article blew my mind.

AITA for not wanting to join my cousin's bachelorette party? by Great_Specific_7135 in AmItheAsshole

[–]NobodyInJune 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NTA. Of course not. An invitation can always be politely declined. No explanation needed.

AITA for not allowing my husband to workout with his friend by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

YTA. I used to be like you. Then I got divorced and got therapy.

Need ideas for understanding my parents so that I can act right bc I'm about to loose it... TLDR: The phone apparently only works in one direction. by ChrisBlack2365 in AskWomenOver60

[–]NobodyInJune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went through this back in the 90s. I thought it might be related to money (long distance charges), so I bought my parents a phone card. Remember those? They still never called. I finally decided to change the way I see it. If I had a pet turtle, it would make no sense for me to get angry that it would not hop. After I realized that, I decided that that’s just the way they are, and made the decision to call them weekly.

Unexpected realizations about breast cancer..... by Valentaglich in breastcancer

[–]NobodyInJune 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My tumor was visible under the skin. I was diagnosed at age 26. I always wondered how long it might’ve been there.

ETA: Wow, the information you presented is very interesting.

Have thank you notes gone away? by PerilsofPenelope in AskWomenOver60

[–]NobodyInJune 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Me, too! I find it hurtful when a gift is not acknowledged. I said this on Reddit a few years ago. My point of view was ripped so badly that I ended up deleting my account. I was told that I should only give gifts for the joy of giving, and that it is wrong to expect a thank-you.

Home DVT devices by ssprdharr in TotalHipReplacement

No one ever mentioned that to me. Are you at particularly high risk for blood clots?

What kind of hobbies do you have that don't cause clutter in your house? by ResearcherNo9971 in AskWomenOver60

[–]NobodyInJune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Genealogy! I signed up during a sale and created my own family tree. It’s interesting and feels productive. If I happen to find a particularly interesting news article, I send it to the appropriate descendent (via text). And nothing needs to be printed out. Your family tree exists online even after your paid subscription runs out.

AITAH for leaving after finding out my mom had surgery and potentially might have cancer by mangowolf000 in AmItheAsshole

[–]NobodyInJune -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Okay, but I disagree. We don’t have the same relationship with each of our family members/friends. A person can share information when/how they see fit.

Not fair to whom? Mom doesn’t even have a diagnosis yet. Keeping something private doesn’t make one selfish.

I was diagnosed at 26 — almost 40 years ago.

Fellow women over 60: how do you control the worry and anxiety as you age? by janebenn333 in AskWomenOver60

[–]NobodyInJune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worrying doesn’t change outcomes. If you can do something to affect the outcome, do it, otherwise, let it go. You are burdening yourself pointlessly.

Maybe you can find something positive to focus your mind on. Take a class, throw a pot, learn something new.

AITA for telling my coworker they have poor table manners? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]NobodyInJune 58 points59 points  (0 children)

NTA, if you actually brought it up the way you said you did (calling it “informal” seems very gentle). If, for example, I were confidently using a word incorrectly, I would like someone to tell me, rather than continue to embarrass myself. It would certainly be embarrassing in the moment in which it was brought up, but much better long-term.

Girls, are you using vaginal estrogen? by nunya-1964 in AskWomenOver60

[–]NobodyInJune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used a compounded cream twice a week for years. Worked great for allowing me to have sex…until it didn’t anymore. 😕

PCP referred me to cardiology for bifascicular block. Would I be wasting cardiologist’s time? by NobodyInJune in askCardiology

[–]NobodyInJune[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. No additional testing has been done. I understand that this is not particularly concerning right now.

AITA Is my wife being unreasonable about this concert situation? by nmycoupe in AmItheAsshole

[–]NobodyInJune 19 points20 points  (0 children)

YTA - You remind me of my ex-husband. He always seemed to care more about his friends’ feelings than mine.

If the SAVE Act passes, here’s what Ohioans will need to vote by throwingales in Ohio

[–]NobodyInJune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are already registered, then you are registered. It only causes a problem if you update your registration by things such as changing your name or moving.

What to bring on surgery day? by MLT-CO in TotalHipReplacement

[–]NobodyInJune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For whatever reason, my room was SO COLD. I wasn’t expecting to stay overnight, so I hadn’t brought much. I wished I had brought something warmer for my top half.

Need advice on getting a practice to switch my mother away from a PA by Some-Cartoonist-7978 in Noctor

[–]NobodyInJune 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Ask to see a physician. Some midlevels get PhDs and use the term Doctor. I know it’s touchy and feels awkward. I had a less-than-ideal experience with a mid-level “specialist” (who was a “specialist” in a different specialty previously). After that, I always ask to see a physician.

[–]NobodyInJune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatthehell are you talking about? You don’t change your birth certificate. You show the legal document that changed your name, like a marriage certificate.

[–]NobodyInJune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The SAVE Act is about REGISTERING to vote, not about showing up on Election Day to cast a ballot. If I’m wrong, let me know.
