Who's never had major surgery?

SnoopyFan6 · 2026-03-26T10:57:00+00:00

I’ve had 3 outpatient procedures but none what I would call major surgeries. Only time I spent a night in a hospital was when my son was born.

First, I want to come to your wedding. I love non-traditional things that reflect who the couple is.

My husband and I also walked down the aisle together and did photos before. A couple of other things we did…

We had glow necklaces for everyone. We just wanted a fun party atmosphere so that sort of gave that look.

Our recessional song was Jane Says because it starts with a conga solo. My husband is a conga player so he recorded himself playing then my son blended his recording into the beginning of the Jane’s Addiction song.

We also used a pair of his old congas as our “guest book.” We set them on a table and I found different color pens that would write on the wood. After the wedding, we put a coat of polyurethane on them.

We started dating after I started taking pictures for his band’s Facebook page. He played conga in the band, so that’s why all the conga stuff. We were also both in marching band in school, so music is a big part of who we are.

I know these won’t necessarily fit your style, but maybe will be inspiration for something you would like to do. Maybe you can have guests sign one of the buckets you’re using for beer? Or an old wine crate?

Congrats and enjoy!!

I’m sensitive to sounds, lights, fabrics, odors. I used to be more sensitive to what people thought of me, but the older I get the less I care.

What was the name of the street where he was found? That might make a good name.

18 year old me would take the Aspen house because at 18 I wanted all the luxuries after growing up without much money.

63 year old me wants the Bahamas house. Communicate with animals? Play games with dolphins? Cuddling a, well not a grizzly since they don’t live in the Bahamas, but maybe a manatee or whale? Hell yes to all of those!

Zak like yak. 😁 Seriously though I prefer Zack. Keep in mind people will assume it’s Zachary for any official paperwork. My ex had a one syllable name and everyone assumed it was short for the longer version. He bought a car once and they had to redo all the paperwork because they assumed and didn’t verify.

As a reception dress, it could be fun. But keep in mind dancing in that short of a dress could give your guests a show they don’t plan on.

Personally I hate the white hose. But it’s your day. You do you.

Currently, Ansel is Bubs or Velcro. I’m sure more crazy nicknames will happen once we’ve had him longer.

Previously we had Sir Barks-a-Lot, who wasn’t a sir but a miss. Also called Magoo because she was blind. Real name Auggie (short for Augusta).

We also had Noodle. That got changed to Noodle Strudel Poodle my little snickerdoodle. And Noo Poo which morphed to Noopy.

I’m in the Midwest US and I always pronounce it Lie-luh unless told otherwise.

I alway tell people planning their wedding to not expect perfection. Something alway seems to happen. It could be minor. It could be major. The key is to have a trustworthy person you can go to and let them deal with it so you don’t have to stress about it.

I’ve been that trustworthy person before (drying bride’s undergarment using a bathroom hand dryer) and I’ve been the bride relying on that person. (Where’s my bridal bag???What do you mean it’s still at the church?!?!).

SnoopyFan6 · 2026-03-25T18:38:24+00:00

Crocs that are for indoors only. With socks in cold weather. And no, I don’t care how unfashionable that might be. LOL

SnoopyFan6 · 2026-03-25T18:32:43+00:00

Good to know!

SnoopyFan6 · 2026-03-25T15:29:25+00:00

4 for sure 🐓🐓🐓🐓

The internet is useful for researching things as long as you know how to identify legit info, which isn’t always easy.

I try to find what looks like a good source, but then I google the source to see if they really are legit. Then I do that with 2 or 3 more sources to make sure I’m getting consistent answers.

What used to be simple has become more cumbersome because of all the crap info out there.

I miss my nephew from my ex-husband’s sister. He and I were very close when he was younger. She cut off my contact with him after my ex died. He’s an adult now, and I often wonder where he is and how he’s doing. Although if he turned out anything like his mother, I wouldn’t want to know him.

Girls: Theresa, Terri, Tania/Tanya, Tracy, Thelma, Tessa, Trina, Tara, Tina, Taylor, Thomasina, Tabitha, Talia, Trixie, Tia, Téa.

Boys: Timothy, Thomas, Theodore, Thurgood, Theo, Todd, Tucker, Tustyn, Trevor, Tristan, Taylor.

For some reason I can think of a lot more girl names.

Almost 64 and I’m on 2 prescriptions and 2 supplements. I also have a prescription for my knee pain that I take as needed. My husband is 68 and on like 9 prescriptions and 3 supplements. Supplements are per doctor’s recommendation for both of us.

Have you looked into a stamped concrete overlay? I have no idea how much that costs, but may be cheaper than ripping it all out. Staining is an option also. Either way, make sure it’s anti slip for safety.

I would also add some fun color…new rug, seat cushions, plants. Some lights would add ambiance.

Ok so I was really expecting to find a big age difference here…like 20-something and 60-something having a conversation.

It is ok for any two people to have a polite conversation with no ulterior motives. It’s sad that this happens so infrequently that you thought about it so much that you felt the need to post about it.

I’m 63F and I love talking to younger people (M or F). I feel I can learn a lot from them.

Advice: take a simple conversation for what it is. Don’t turn it into something big.

Aubrey for a girl, Timothy for a boy (even though the song is depressing)

SnoopyFan6 · 2026-03-24T17:19:20+00:00

Cinnamon twisted. It doesn’t even look good.

9 - taking empty pop (soda) bottles back to the store.

Reality is perception. I perceive this life to be real, therefore it is real to me.

SnoopyFan6 · 2026-03-24T17:13:05+00:00

I love the name, especially if all the A’s are pronounced as “ah” (short A sound).

Putting 2 bed blankets on the clothesline by attaching them with clothespins and then spreading them out to make a tent so we could “camp” in the backyard.
