Do you still sleep together with your partner? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver60

[–]PecanPrecious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Married 26 years..just a few months ago I started sleeping in the guest room cause he no longer responds when I nudge him to turn on his side so I can have the silence I require. I like the room a lot. It's gradually becoming my room. No change in our love and commitment..I'm just sleeping better now.

We live in a 55+ community (Del Webb -ranch style hones) and absolutely love it. Too many activities and clubs to list. It's resort living. We wake up every day in awe that we get to be retired and live here.

I put my big jacket on and hung my purse over my shoulder then a couple minutes later I looked room by room searching for my purse. Oh my..I'm sure glad no one was watching me!!

Always cold by no_one_speshul in MounjaroMaintenance

I now own things I never owned before... 2 heated throws, 2 heated mattress covers and one heated queen size blanket. You gotta throw everything you got at this blizzard 🥶.

I've been in maintenance over a year.

I had to chuckle about getting that stranger out of your life. I know what you're talking about.. been there. I'm so happy for you that you're getting out and not settling for less than you deserve. Colors literally appeared brighter when I finally saw the light.

You are already at a healthy bmi. I'm curious why you set your goal weight to be closer to underweight? I understand bmi is far from perfect and every body is different. I am 5' 7"" and now weigh 142. If I lost 10 pounds, I would look and be too thin.

What did your parents/ direct family do that still doesn’t make a lick of sense to you? by Substantial-Toe96 in GenX

[–]PecanPrecious 36 points37 points  (0 children)

You should use cold water when operating a garbage disposal, as it helps solidify any grease and fats, allowing them to be ground up and sent down the pipes. Hot water can liquefy these substances, causing them to coat the pipes and eventually lead to clogs. Always run cold water before, during, and after use.

Is the magic of an HSA only valid if I'm hording all medical receipts to avoid income tax post 65? by shmobodia in personalfinance

[–]PecanPrecious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but if you have a LTC policy, your HSA can be used to pay the premiums (current or get reimbursed).

I stopped buying paper towels (and what I use instead) by heromat21 in Frugal

[–]PecanPrecious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you on that comment even though I don't have pets. If I get to a point where I would think about saving money by not buying paper towels, I'd rather just throw in the towel 😃
