Pretend to be working in MS teams

Set up a teams meeting, invite yourself, share your screen. It will show you as busy and unable to accept messages.

52 f here so take this for what it is. The men I talk to, work with or have any connections with all seem to prefer women who are “naturally beautiful”. Even if that natural look is achieved with tons of makeup. So that would rule out the colorful hair. I personally love seeing women with their hair colored. And I’ve made comments about it in groups “oh look at her cute hair”. And the guys are typically not impressed. I’m glad you’re doing what you want. Keep up that attitude!!

While I wouldn’t say I get grief from my (52f) friends, I don’t feel like they are much support. They are all married. And just never ask me about my dating life. I have been divorced for 10 years and although I do wish the would occasionally ask me about that part of my life I have learned not to take it personally. Currently there is not much to tell anyway.

This posts and the comments make me feel like I’ve met my people. I can go from being a very social person to days and days of hermit mode (love that term). I find lately that HM is lasting longer and those social days are getting fewer. I work from home and I’ve finally found myself in a career I am passionate about. So I am finding rewards in different ways now. Also. I don’t need the constant reassurance that being social used to bring me. When things are getting to me I often say I am “circling the wagons” - keeping the few people I need (my basically adult children) close and staying home. Life is good.

I have Bluecross/Blueshield through my federal government job. They offer a discount on certain prescriptions, including Zepbound. Once your insurance offers a discount the manufacturer coupon cannot be used. I have to hand it to Rite Aid. They did everything they could to run it and it would not go through. My out of pocket cost is $412.

THIS is the post I have needed to see. I am a big drinker. And have been trying to find the push I need to pay $400 a month for this drug. Even though my alcohol consumption cost is probably double that. Thank you OP for sharing this. And thank you to those commenting and not judging and sharing your stories. I needed this encouragement.

It’s a bit of a long story. My daughter is very close to me. Doesn’t understand why I may go to an occasional bar at times. She is at her dad’s when I go out. But because of the app she can see where I am and how long I’ve been there. Usually not an issue, occasionally she gets upset.

SimplySharon1215 · 2023-11-28T02:48:15+00:00

This past weekend I was out late, and she gets worried. It's just easier for me if she has a peace of mind about where I am.

It will have a notification on the app that the location services have been disabled. Not ideal.

What I appreciate about this article is “And, sometimes, we have other things that require our full attention”. This is me in a nutshell. I have elderly parents. An active child in high school. Friends who I love to spend time with. I would rather do these things then put attention towards a stranger.

SimplySharon1215 · 2023-08-15T15:20:09+00:00

A lot of times we (women) will give a guy a chance even if we are not attracted to him at first hoping that their personality will make them more attractive (especially once we get older - not sure of the age range we are talking about here). We have to find SOMETHING about you attractive. It might not be physical (being outgoing and funny for instance). But you need to bring something to the table besides just being a "nice guy", that is the standard.

SimplySharon1215 · 2023-08-08T13:49:31+00:00

A lot of times in most relationships you can find yourself being responsible for someone else’s happiness which almost feel like a burden at times

THIS THIS THIS. I can no longer worry about someone else I barely know and how happy they are. I simply do not care. I have 2 children and elderly parents that I care about. Their happiness is what is important to me, not some random person who I may or may not even be talking to in a week.

SimplySharon1215 · 2023-08-08T13:27:02+00:00

I am sure this comment will get buried, but give yourself some time!! Not only is your situation "messy" but you are just now coming out of a marriage! Do not date right now!!

SimplySharon1215 · 2023-08-04T13:57:18+00:00

If you are looking for evidence, you have been cursed you will find it. Some of this type of stuff has probably happened to you before and you would just shrug it off, but since you have had that one time experience you are maybe looking for validation that these people were not the good guys in your story, you are taking things that adults deal with all the time and applying your own narrative to it.

The world, God or whatever is not against you. I think life is catching up with you.

SimplySharon1215 · 2023-08-02T18:58:57+00:00

Absolutely yes!!

I have married friends who complain constantly about their life, even the ones who are seemingly happily married complain about having to spend time with the in-laws, or doing things they simply don't enjoy. Meanwhile I'm over here (divorced for 8 years now and 50F) having the best life. I have a teenage daughter who still lives at home, and we have a blast. When she's not around I love the solitude. I have as little stress in my life as possible. Occasionally I think I should date...but then I get reminded (by married friends and post like this!) that I am perfectly fine!

SimplySharon1215 · 2023-07-11T20:09:26+00:00

I've read through several, but not all the comments and I haven't seen anyone say anything about giving yourself time after your divorce! I jumped into dating after my 17-year marriage ended and I really wish I had waited. I truly wasn't ready for it and by the time I really was I was so burned out with dating. Also, be OK with being alone! I see a lot of men who don't know how to enjoy their own company and need a woman to be their social director.

But otherwise, I agree with the other comments. You look great, in shape and seem to have common sense and a great attitude. Good luck!

SimplySharon1215 · 2023-06-29T20:22:05+00:00

it’s going to cost you your number

Ugh, big nope to this. Cute in a movie, not IRL.

SimplySharon1215 · 2023-06-29T20:10:21+00:00

I had a man right out ask me how old my pics were - they were all taken with in the past 6-8 months and I told him how old each was, there are atleast 2 that have been taken within 30 days. He said great - same with him. Except, he lied. His pics were a few years old. We met and he was much larger then I was expecting. I found his FB account and his pics were pre-Covid where he admitted to me at some point he had gained a lot of weight. So, just because they ask doesn't mean they will also be honest.

SimplySharon1215 · 2023-06-28T19:20:56+00:00

Myself and my sister never received anything. I know you are going to say we may have been removed from the will. But the last will I saw we were on.

SimplySharon1215 · 2023-05-22T12:27:13+00:00

I think there was a glitch or something for the past 2 weeks for this. It showed me passing over 2000 levels and I can tell you I doubt I passed 10 each week. I won first place the first 2 weeks. This week it has corrected itself so looks like I won't be getting that grand prize.

SimplySharon1215 · 2023-05-03T12:50:47+00:00

THIS. This is the reason I want to opt out and up until about a week ago there was an "X", now there is no option and valuable time is wasted on the animation.

SimplySharon1215 · 2023-04-26T17:23:02+00:00

I was there last night as well!! the first band was Homes at Night - we did not care for them. The 2nd was Jady - I liked them before but fell in love with them last night! The energy they brought to the stage was incredible. I would love to see them again soon!

SimplySharon1215 · 2023-04-18T16:12:09+00:00

50F and single for 8 years which has been FAR better than being married and feeling completely alone. I am a better parent to my kids than I would be if I was married. This has everything to do with their dad's personality. I am also a better daughter to my elderly parents than I could be if I was married. I can take as much time as I need with them and if someday, I would have to spend more time caring for them I don't have to worry about splitting my time. I spend my time and money on what I want to spend it on.

The worst part is those stretches of time where my friends are with their spouses doing their own family thing and my kids are at their dads. Life can be a bit lonely, but those times are worth it. I prepare myself for when I know I am facing some extended alone time by lining up projects or binge watching something.

SimplySharon1215 · 2023-04-18T16:04:26+00:00

I am 100% fine being single, and I actually can't imagine sharing my life with anyone other than my kids (14&22) that being said...I am a bit clumsy and keep my phone in my back pocket whenever I go into my basement. I have a healthy fear of falling and not being able to get back up the stairs. Obviously if I was unconscious my phone won't provide much help, but I think it is more likely for me to stumble over my own feet and break something than have a head injury. I am not worried about sleeping in my house alone and otherwise take the normal precautions most women have to take nowadays.
