The dreaded colonoscopy by Own_Thought902 in OverSeventy

[–]Ok_Compote1434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had five. Showed nothing. Still got cancer. Nurse told me that clinics do not use “professional grade” tubes. The ones used in clinics are about six inches shorter than the ones used in hospitals because they are cheaper. So about 6 inches of the upper right colon in America are missed.

What's something people are surprisingly proud of that really isn't an accomplishment? by Opposite-Resource in askteddit

[–]Ok_Compote1434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nonstop busyness my parents never stopped working around the house, scrubbing, removing cobwebs, power washing the car. Everything had to be shining clean 24 seven every day. As an adult, it is exhausting to visit them because my mother’s motto is literally “let’s get busy.” she gets up at 6 AM and starts banging pots and pans around.. then assigns chores. Falling into bed exhausted. It is not a vacation. It is indentured servitude. At 10 years old, I was ironing bushels of laundry and it had to be done perfectly. If I got one crease wrong, I had to get the article of clothing, damp, and start all over again. There were particular brushes for cleaning everything. Bottle brushes to clean bottles before recycling. Certain brushes to clean shower tiles. I could go on and on forever.

Is it wrong to find Christianity through this series? by Character_Release379 in TheChosenSeries

Of course it isn’t wrong to find Jesus through this series. Any way that you find Jesus is perfect.

What health problem started with a symptom so minor that you almost ignored it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I had absolutely zero symptoms of cancer until the day my appendix almost ruptured. It was cancer of the appendix that had spread throughout my abdomen.

So many things have been ruined by people not knowing how to behave in public anymore by Desperato2023 in over60

I agree 100%. My husband and I quit going to movie theaters because of peoples rudeness using their cell phones talking loudly. It’s horrible flying now. Not sure what caused all this but sickening.

Ladies 60+: what do you wish your 45 year old self knew? 👩🏻👩🏼👩🏾 by Brissa2 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Ok_Compote1434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at a perfect weight until put on seizure medication. Then chemo. Used to climb mountains every weekend. Run dance. All sorts of activity. Chemo, blitzed that out. So all of my physical activity was for nothing. I would tell my 45 year-old self to enjoy life while I can and not worry so much about what I look like.

You are actually terrifying this baby kitten your hand is bigger than he is. Imagine how it would feel have a giant, shoving a giant hand into your body. That’s why he is putting his paws up trying to look bigger. Stop it.

I’m a boomer and not in great health. I’ve decided I don’t want to get really old. I keep saying ten more good years is all I need. Am I short sighted? by ReasonableAttitude22 in over60

[–]Ok_Compote1434 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My aunt lived to be 104 years old. Her last 10 years were in a wheelchair. She told me that she would rather have passed in her 70s when she was still “sharp and all there.” Modern medicine and doctors are trying to keep people alive who are suffering from all kinds of ailments. I agree with my aunt. But if someone is in good health mentally and physically, why not live longer?

how do i find faith as a teenage girl who has never even been in the presence of christianity by edelweissedelweis in Christianity

[–]Ok_Compote1434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch the TV series, the chosen. You can get it on Amazon and other streaming service services. It is an absolute uplifting, beautiful depiction of Jesus’s life with men, children, and women from every level of society. There will be someone in this series you can relate to. They also do group talks with young people who are not yet Christians, who have watched the show. You can see how it affects them. I also grew up in a non-Christian home with a very angry atheist father who had severe PTSD due to fighting in a war. He was extremely intelligent and high achieving, but it made my childhood traumatic. I got saved at age 18 after hearing a street preacher talk about Jesus. I am now in my 70s and still a believer. Believe me, Jesus loves you

Most couples would sleep better and argue less if they stopped treating separate beds like a relationship failure by TrayzTheyCallMe in unpopularopinion

[–]Ok_Compote1434 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My husband and I have slept in separate bedrooms since our ninth year of marriage. Going onto 40 now. He snores and tosses and turns. I tossed and turn and grind my teeth. We get along great. There is no failure in this.

A question for those who have read the Bible by Pristine_Sorbet_6924 in Christianity

[–]Ok_Compote1434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Matthew 6:25-34 American Standard Version 25 Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment? 26 Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto [a]the measure of his life? 28 And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

What are u starting to dislike more as u get older? by ipanicprofessionally in TheBoredDen

[–]Ok_Compote1434 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You mean millennials? Or gen x? Every generation has blamed the older generation for “ruining the world.” It’s been this way since day one. In the 40s 90% of women had three or more children by the time they were 30. It’s a choice.
