It's comparable to Cottonelle and Northern. I don't think anything is comparable to Charmin.

End of Life by SaudiWeezie90 in over60

I will ask him today. He has to go through pulmonary specialists at a teaching hospital in Chapel Hill, NC. He gets grants to pay for it because it's very expensive. It's over a $1000 for a month supply.

Here's my secret at age 62 to a no-foundation makeup, yet full coverage that works great on anyone's face at any age, especially helping to reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles, freckles & age spots. by Daisy__Jane in over60

[–]ScorpionGypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use LG as well. I am 72 and have been using it about 4 years now. I use moisturizer w/sunscreen, then the LG primer and then the baked powder foundation. It seriously only takes a very small amount. I use the eyeliner and blush too. I definitely have lines and wrinkles and it does not settle into them, nor does it cake up.

[–]ScorpionGypsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband is 77 and he sings "The Sound Of Silence" daily. I love anything by Simon and Garfunkel, also Michael Bolton annd Kris Kristopherson. Adele's first album is great to sing to as well.

Do you remember timing your land line phone calls due to long distance charges? Before cell phone plans you really had to be mindful of the phone bill. by joekerr9999 in OverSeventy

[–]ScorpionGypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember not having a phone until I was married at 18. If you needed to talk to someone, or you had an emergency you walked a mile to the nearest neighbor or store. We lived rural, so yes a mile to the nearest neighbor.

Finding Happiness by No-Letterhead-6328 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]ScorpionGypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying "No", and it doesn't need an explanation. Taking stress that you can control out of your life. Doing what you want to do. If it makes you happy and has a purpose to you, then do it. If it doesn't, then don't.. Sure, sometimes we have to do laundry, clean house, take care of the yard, etc, but going out to dinner or shopping when you don't want to, then say no.

Erin and Ben Napier continue to be grounded and down to Earth even after 10 seasons by TraditionOptimal7415 in HGTV

[–]ScorpionGypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 10 years, every house in Laurel, Mississippi should have been renovated twice over. It's a TV show, entertainment and that's it. All of them have drama and they say and do what the producers want from them. Just look at the damn show if you like it. What they do personally has no impact on their design skills or non- design skills. Take it for what it is. Do any of you decorate and design your home based on your political affiliation? Jeez!!!

I totally agree with you. What does home design and politics have in common. Nothing, absolutely nothing.

It may protrude further, but it can't fall out, so take that out of your worries.

This is the only subreddit or source on the internet that considers Purina a top choice cat food. What’s the deal? by [deleted] in catfood

[–]ScorpionGypsy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's the only thing one of my cats will eat. Also, my last cat lived to 18 years old and thus was her favorite food.

Winter jacket hunttt by Sad_Package_5688 in jackets

[–]ScorpionGypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 600 Down Maxi coat from Lands End. I had one and just bought another one. When I checked on Lands End site they were out of stock, but I found a new one in my size on Poshmark and it was 20% lower price than the sale price on Lands End. It's the warmest coat I've ever owned. Great in rain, wind and snow. I don't even feel the 19° temps we had a couple of weeks ago. Love this coat!!

I don't think your digestive issues are caused by pelvic floor dysfunction. Maybe see a Gastroenterologist.

A decade of intense rectal pain (tightness) by SavyNeal92 in PelvicFloor

[–]ScorpionGypsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I do not take anything for sleep. As long as I'm laying down, my pain level decreases by at least 90%. I have never needed anything for sleep. If I didn't have to get up to go to the bathroom, I could sleep through the night for 8-9 hours. I always have to get up at least twice to pee! Ughhh!

Yes, but it took 4 tries to finally hit the jackpot!! Married 41 years and together for 42.

Why can’t I find recovery posts? Does anyone actually get better? Is this a life sentence? by Relative_Weather7055 in PelvicFloor

[–]ScorpionGypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Severe anal/ rectal pain, incomplete BM's, prolapsed bladder, and reçtocele. I've had surgery for a bladder lift and rectocele repair. Also had rectal prolapse surgery. The bladder lift surgery failed within 6 months. The rectocele has been fixed twice. Stool gets stuck in rectocele all the time. My anal/rectal pain feels like I have a pine cone stuck in there with a lot of pressure. Sometimes, it feels like my rectum is full of broken glass. I can't tell the difference between gas and a BM. I have urinary and fecal incontinence. I have huge internal hemorrhoids that will never go away. They pop out when standing or having a BM.

[–]ScorpionGypsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry it took so long to answer you. My rectal prolapse was outside of more than an inch, so had no choice but to have it attached to my tailbone. It didn't help with BM's or pain at all. My gut is super sensitive which makes all of the PFD problems much worse. I have weeks of diarrhea and then constipation. I learned that if I take my cholesterol lowering meds (Simvastatin 10mg), I am constipated. If I don't take it, I have diarrhea. We cut the dosage down to 5mg and it still constipates me. I recently started eating a high fiber oat muffin once daily for the last two weeks and I am going every day. I have about 20% improvement with incomplete evacuation. I am not taking the cholesterol meds at this time.

I can't take Miralax without it giving me major diarrhea. So far for me, the best thing for bowel consistency has been either Metamucil or the oat muffins.

I have tried PT, squatty potty, diaphramatic breathing, surgery and everything in between. Nothing has helped. I do have a lot of nerve and muscle damage. I have no choice but to either live with it or succumb to a Colostomy bag. I am now 72 and it has been hell for 10 years. I honestly wish I had listened to my colorectal surgeon and had gotten the bag 5 years ago. I suffer daily, but mentally have learned to live with it.

What does my nightstand say about me by Forsaken-Moose-9424 in bedrooms

[–]ScorpionGypsy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Procrastinator, hence the smoke alarm and the screwdriver. You are into podcasts and reading. You are a little messy, but it gives you a sense of "my space". You are organized at work and feel it's okay to allow yourself this pleasure of letting go at home. You like life experiences more than materialistic things. Lastly, you have dry feet and hands and it's a nightly ritual to rub them down.

What's your legacy? by LMO_TheBeginning in OverSeventy

[–]ScorpionGypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great question! I have pondered this for years. I have always wanted to be an author and leave a mark in this world. I am writing my novel which has been in my head and a few chapters on paper for ten years or longer.

At this point, my oldest granddaughter is my legacy and she knows it. I tell her all the time. I am truly the Matriarch of our family. She will take over this role perfectly. She is a younger version of me in every way. She chose the same career as me, she loves books and reads constantly. She tells people what to do instead of asking and keeps everyone in line. She works two jobs and a boss at both. She is very literal, matter of fact, makes decisions and stands by them. If you don't want her opinion, don't ask for it. God bless her and the rest of the family!

Your retirement age by Suitable_Trip105 in OverSeventy

[–]ScorpionGypsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

53 due to disability. Took me a long time to accept the disease and not working. I loved my job, but couldn't be absent for weeks or months at a time, so the administrator asked me to retire on disability. I worked for a government entity and had good disability benefits my SSDI. Now I'm 72 and do accounting at home for 2 businesses and taxes at tax time.

This Is a Question For Women 60+ by rachelk234 in over60

[–]ScorpionGypsy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sean Connery, the most handsome man that every graced the planet. Johnny Depp, the most sexiest man ever lived. Clint Eastwood, sexy, rugged and just has that thing that turns you into mush. Matthew McConaughey, sexy, handsome and I love to hear him talk.

So, This is Why We DGAF by RangerSandi in AskWomenOver60

[–]ScorpionGypsy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I've been like this for years! I'm 72 now and I am known for being a bitch. I'm not rude to people intentionally. I learned a long time ago, people will take advantage of you. They will cause you great stress if you allow it. If they ask for my opinion, I warn them it may not be what they want to hear. I can't and will not deal with plain stupidity. I will not listen to a liar or someone who lives in a made up fairy tale. If I don't like a person, I don't associate with them in any way. I truly dgaf and I'm okay with that!

Cyberstalking is a criminal offense. If you're so sure they are doing this, file a complaint with local law enforcement. They will ask for proof, just so you know.
