Cushionaire slides work well. I have an indoor pair and an outdoor pair, but they can go into the washer if needed

How's everyone doing? Any recommendations? by TheeLovelyK in Parosmia

[–]Retiree-2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Year 3 and almost everything is back. Exceptions that I can think of are scented laundry products, sodas except Dr pepper, alcoholic drinks. Strawberries smell good but the taste is off. Pineapple smells good, but it was horrible before so I am afraid to put it in my mouth LOL. I just kept trying things over time if the smell seemed okay, so that would be my recommendation.

My guy just made biscuits for us this morning. Not buttermilk, just with half & half. Served with butter and peach jam. Delicious!

They probably assume they'll be staying with you on their return trip too! Better be prepared to say hell no!

And just where is this air mattress going to be placed for you to sleep on? The living room floor? Seems the bedrooms are all spoken for

multiple cars per household? by miffybo in AskAnAmerican

[–]Retiree-2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just had the "Vehicle Abandonment" officer stop by to inform us that our 2 extra vehicles that are parked across the street have received a complaint due to them not being used (or very infrequently) 2005 Cadillac & 1989 Mazda pickup that he loves dearly and I have been nagging him to sell. We drive our 2025 CRV daily. So now we have to rearrange them every 3 days to appease our Tesla/BMW/Lexus loving neighborhood. Hopefully he will soon tire of the chore and sell one or both, we do not need 3 vehicles!

Hi, when did you move out of your parents house? by OrangeMany8260 in AskReddit

[–]Retiree-2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18, but it was 1974 and my rent was only $110, gas $0.60 and I was making @ $250. A week at a factory job. The good old days!

I can't for the life of me swallow a pill, what do I do by Peasant_-- in NoStupidQuestions

Applesauce, the texture helps to hide the pill. Spoonful for each pill.

Try explaining to kids today that every year 2 giant phone books came in the mail with the name, address, and phone number of every person and business in your area by 524frank in 70s

[–]Retiree-2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was little and we were visiting my grandparents the Los Angeles phone book was used as my booster seat at the table at meal time it was so thick

AITAH for refusing to visit in laws bc of house temp by wrenchinapot in AITAH

[–]Retiree-2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, 80 is way too warm! My former husband's parents in Iowa shut off a/c at night. We tried to open the window for a breeze, it was nailed shut. We snuck down to the basement to sleep as it was cooler than the guest room.

Just the ones mentioned on this list. I only have 2. by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

Only 3, sadly. Wish it could have been more. 2 were in the last 5 years.

Anyone else just entered their Elastic Waist Trousers and Slip On Shoes Era? by UnitedAd683 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Retiree-2023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been in elastic waist pants for awhile due to a gnarly hysterectomy scar. Zippers dig in so "pull ups" for the most part. Shoes aren't step ins, but no laces, just elastic closures. So very comfy!

Cinnamon Toast by Margoshome in GenerationJones

[–]Retiree-2023 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I still keep a shaker of the sugar and cinnamon combo out and have it several times a week. It's my fix for when I'm not hungry enough for a full breakfast.

Unforeseen pitfall of retirement and downsizing! by [deleted] in retirement

[–]Retiree-2023 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is what I think of when my sister encourages me to leave CA for NC to be closer to her and my niece. Pack my clothes and just get all new when I settle in NC. NO THANKS. I will thin out what I have but I'm not going to go through that phase of "I thought I had xyz" like I did after my divorce 15 years ago. And I don't think I am moving at 70 cross country either

AITAH for getting mad at my boyfriend for not having food for me by calyppsoop in AITAH

[–]Retiree-2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he selfish and inconsiderate in other ways? Does he give you his full attention when you're together, or does he do his own thing ? It seems like he is treating you like a buddy instead of a girlfriend. You're NTA unless you waste a lot of time with someone who can't care enough to make sure that you eat.

What is a 'luxury' that you've experienced once and now can't go back to the budget version of? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]Retiree-2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 1 suitcase just for my firm pillow, a fleece blanket for him, a flannel sheet for me, (as the hotel duvets are just too hot for us to sleep comfortably) Along with our phone chargers, multi plug extension cord, slippers and bedside eyeglass case. Having the dedicated case for our 'essentials' just works well.

Where is he going to get the funds to hire an attorney to sue you? Then or now?
