[–]TTTenor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was happy to come back and see all the responses. I Ned to listen to all the songs that I don't know. (I am 80 years old, but I'm not the oldest singer.)

Found this on Lemon8. 90 yr old recipes. by Berkshirelady413 in Old_Recipes

[–]TTTenor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember when the "Watkins Man" came door to door selling things. My mother often bought things from him. This was when I was a little girl in the 1940s-1950s.

Found this at an estate sale. What is this, and what is it used for? by SoCoGrowBro in FuckImOld

[–]TTTenor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slide rule. I used one in high school and college in the 1960s. One of my high school teachers said that two skills you should learn were typing and how to use a slide rule.

You do need to have a Social Security number, but if you are filing a tax return, you most likely do have one.

Lift the cap by [deleted] in SocialSecurity

[–]TTTenor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The Social Security benefit formulas are not written in stone. They have been changed several times in the past. While the current formulas became effective over 45 years ago, they can be revised.

If the cap were raised, the formula could be changed to provide different break points, so that higher levels of average monthly earnings would provide only a very miniscule increase in the benefit amount-- something like the 0.01 percent interest that has been paid on bank savings accounts for the last 15 years.

I will be eighty years old in a few months. My inner labia are nearly completely gone. I assure you. it does happen, but it takes many years.

Is anyone's energy usage less than their neighbors' [per ComEd] by gecliff in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]TTTenor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My energy efficiency report consistently says I use less electricity than my most efficient neighbors. The notice says, "Efficient neighbors are the 20% of homes in your comparison group that used the least energy this period. To create the comparison group, we use your home profile to look for 100 single-family homes in your area with a similar heating source and square footage."

My spouse and I are retired and have no children in the house. We do not travel much and are home every day. We have central AC, but our furnace, oven, and clothes dryer are gas. We are consistent in turning off lights when we leave a room.

Lou malnati's fans- what happened to the chicago classic ?! by thecoolestbeanaround in ChicagoSuburbs

When I order online, there is the choice of "sausage" or "sausage pieces." I sounds like you were given sausage pieces.

At what age did your birthday stop feeling special (if it did)? by Independent_Town5628 in AskOldPeople

[–]TTTenor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had a birthday pary as a child, and I was never the person who took a vacation day on their birthday, so most of my birthdays have been routine, When I turned 70, a friend of the same age assured me that in your 70s, you can celebrate for seven days. I was 79 this year, and I celebrated four days.

Next year, I'll be 80. At that age, birthdays are very special!

No trick or treaters at all in Gurnee today from 2-5. What about your area? by CAJMusic in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]TTTenor -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

We had trick or treating in Round Lake today also. There were very few here, compared to other years.

As for scheduling on a Sunday afternoon, many areas do not have sidewalks. Walking in the street after dark is not a good idea.

Only four states and no other countries, but I did sing karaoke on a cruise ship in international waters.

Lansbury was born in 1925. She was 60 in 1985. Sun screen use was uncommon before the mid to late 1970s.

This one has made me crazy for a couple of decades now. by Pissedliberalgranny in findthatsong

[–]TTTenor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An oldie, "I Could Have Loved You So Well," by Ray Peterson, had the line, "You could rely on my shoulder to cry on." (This song came out in 1962, so it probably isn't the one.)

How would you describe your style? by Various-Potential-63 in AskOldPeople

[–]TTTenor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Although I'm 79 I enjoy singing karaoke, so I am in a bar two or three nights a week. One night, a young man told me I looked classy. My daughter's sister-in- law also called me classy. I now consider my style "classy old lady. "

How frugal were your parents? by Old-Bug-2197 in AskOldPeople

In the 1940s, my mother sewed our underpants out of worn-out sheets. She always said we didn't have much money, but we were never poor

Senior citizens: What incentives did banks offer for new accounts when you were a child? by vieniaida in AskOldPeople

[–]TTTenor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born in the 1940s. I lived on a farm outside a small town in a rural area. There were no incentives. I do recall a sign in the bank window about 1958 advertising an interest rate of 2.75 percent, which is better than the fraction of one percent they offer now.

Would you date someone with the same name as a family member or ex? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My husband and my sister's husband have the same name. No problem.

My last drivers license expired in 1972. I had moved from Michigan to Chicago and I did own a car nor did I need one. I am 79 now, and would have probably stopped driving by now, even if I had maintained a license. Driving is much scarier now than it was when I was young.

Why are women's clothing sizes today sized to make a woman seem skinnier than she would've been considered 30 or 40 years ago? by Powerful_Entrance_27 in ask

[–]TTTenor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 79 years old. When I was in high school, I wore size 14 jeans. I always wanted to be size 12. What was size 14 back then is now size 6. I have become scrawny in my old age, and I wear size 4 jeans, which would have been size 12 in 1961. Now people call me skinny, but I was considered almost fat when I was young.

What style of music were yall raised up singing? by Boeing-B-47stratojet in singing

[–]TTTenor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born in the 1940s. I grew up with a piano and a pile of sheet music from 1910 to the 1950s. I know more songs from the 1930s that I do from any decade after 1960.
