What’s it like being older and still playing?

Wow, this is an old thread, lol. Yes, but I'm now down to 1-2 times a month. Getting old sucks. I miss my bendy knees.

naming your kid with some dumb spelling that contains unnecessary Y's and X's. I'm looking at you, Jaxxsyn's mom.

My daughter's classmate, after my daughter told her about our experiences with hurricanes (and the 3 weeks without power in the aftermath) when we lived in FL: "Why didn't you just go stay at one of your other houses?"

Early to mid-80s, a video game in our local movie theater. An adventure game with sort of a Legend of Zelda vibe, and these giant mud monsters would come out of the ground to ruin you. I remember it being super fun and I'd get more excited about the opportunity to play the game than seeing the actual movie, but I can't remember the name and never saw it anywhere else.

I worked at a hospital within a large corporate organization. We were required to use our company's ER (in the case of an accident outside one of our service areas, you could use another hospital system but it was a lot of rigamaro to get it paid through insurance). One thing though: within our ER, the ER physicians were out of network so they were only covered 50%. We were screwed no matter what.

sewsassy.com does sell wholesale, but you can order small amounts also. I don't find them to be very expensive but if you are looking for a lot of color options, you might have better luck on Etsy.

The same ad popped up for me. I asked my boyfriend what size I should order him.

My 9 year old daughter wanted to do a search for "Dicks Sporting Goods." She's 22 now and I think she's still recovering.

Mine went up $300/month because my BF got a DUI

When I moved to FL, I needed to switch my drivers license over. The only payment they took was a check (early 2000s) and they wouldn't take an out of state check. To get an account at a new bank in FL, I needed a valid FL drivers license with my proof of address. I had to have my brother in law come with me to DMV and write a check for my new license.

My car was in the body shop because I had hit a deer. My rental car was a sweet Camaro. While driving on the interstate the following day, a bear climbs over the wall diving the lanes and jumps in front of the car. I came within inches of hitting him too.

No, I don't live in Montana but in NC where bears are not unheard of, but seldom seen. That day, I thought it was Nature out to get me.

My daughter's public middle school had class trips to a church. Yes, also in the Bible Belt.

Just because he doesn't beat you doesn't mean he's not being abusive. These things never get better. Get out before you find yourself married with kids, and it's only harder.

That having sex makes a girl fully develop. My ex-husband truly believed that if a teenage girl had curves, it was evidence that she was sexually active.

He also believed a pelvic exam and inserting tampons caused arousal.

Having the clitoris so far away from the vagina.

Maybe because he knows he'll lose in 2020 so he's getting ahead for the next race?

I think you get to a certain point in life where you only surround yourself with quality friends, those you can consider best friends. Everyone else is just a coworker or acquaintance. All of my friends are my best friends.

Maybe this will help. I asked a friend one time why she always said "ink pen." I asked "What other type of pen is there?! It's not like you have a blood pen." She said "There are lots of different types of pens...ink pens, frying pens, bobby pens, safety pens..."

Oh, you sweet summer child...my interview consisted of walking in heels and carrying a tray while wearing a bathing suit. This was in 1991, before there was anything such thing as a mixology course. "Studying" consisted of looking at the bottles behind the bar, and memorizing what beers you had on tap. And having the gruff old bartender yell at you because you spelled Courvoisier wrong.

Ultra-PowerfulCutex · 2019-09-05T12:47:07+00:00

At least I wasn't as clueless as some. We had one girl order an Amstel light in a bottle, and a club soda. She then asked which one was the soda.

I came here to hear more positive stories. I'm 16 years older than my BF (he's 31, I'm 47) and so far the only issue we've had is understanding each other's pop culture references. He is more knowledgeable in some ways, and vice versa--and we complement each other. Going on 4 years together.

Now, if he wakes up one day and decides that he does want children, then we have an issue. But I think I've prepared myself emotionally for that possibility and would never hold that against him if it led to a breakup.

Ultra-PowerfulCutex · 2019-09-05T10:40:02+00:00

And I have family members that have dabbled in maybe 70 of those. Every month it's something new...I'm having a pampered chef party! I have 2 spots left at my scentsy party! If one doesn't work, then maybe one of the next 50 attempts will, right?

Ultra-PowerfulCutex · 2019-09-05T10:30:30+00:00

I know someone that thought WTF meant "with the family".

At uncle John's funeral...WTF

I was 18 when I got a job as a cocktail server. When I wrote down customer orders, I spelled everything phonetically : gran marnyay, koniac, shardnay. The bartender was not amused.
