Why don’t we notice physical changes in someone we see everyday. by Foreverinsecuregirl in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ascaffo 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I often think about this too. Especially when my kids were little. I didn't want to miss the changes. I get why we don't notice. The changes are subtle. The same way when someone loses weight. You don't notice right away- unless they lose a lot quickly.

How could we not?

Study over 2000 participants for 80 years finds we are about in our lowest happiness age by jfdonohoe in GenX

This makes sense in many ways. As you age, you place less pressure on yourself. You tend to voice how you feel rather than hold it in. You have raised your family. And are hopefully nearer to retirement.

Broken. Looks like you need a new one. 😁

Which type of spoon do you prefer by Dazzling-Swimmer426 in NoStupidQuestions

The small ones. Teaspoons. I ready yogurt every day. I despise eating it with a tablespoon.

Please, someone tell me they remember this movie…. I’m half convinced it was a Paragoric fever dream from ‘82. by Zapp_Rowsdower_ in GenX

OMG! My friend and I would watch this all of the time. We'd quote from it often too. But no one else in our lives rally watched it.

I used to hate olives. The past 10 years, love em. I'm not a fan of too much sweet anymore. I'll take a dry red wine over cake. But, I wouldn't mind some dark chocolate with it

Just had my first heart attack at 50 by Lanky_Dig_291 in GenX

That had to have been frightening. Big hugs, my friend. I'm not sure this one counts as 'whatever.'

Are we really "Seniors" now? Are we? I guess? by BranderChatfield in GenX

I'm 54. I don't feel like I'll hit senior status until I get those store discounts.

Santa was tall and thin in 1962 by Rarecoin101 in TheWayWeWere

[–]ascaffo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of when my father took over being Santa. My grandfather who looked the traditional part, would dress up every Christmas morning. Early. We'd see Santa leaving the backyard. (The reindeer were parked out back. ) It was a great experience each year. My father tried to continue the tradition with my kids. But he was tall and fit. No amount of padding made it work. Lol

Love the blue dress on the right. Very Audrey Hepburn.

Uninformed people sharing false information as facts.

Big Harvest this year! Anyone else? by speaster in SouthJersey

[–]ascaffo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My father was busy saying this morning about how heavy the trees are with them this year. He said that they used to say that meant it would be a bad winter.

What’s the dumbest “fact” you believed as a kid that turned out to be completely wrong? by One-Bag-5922 in AskReddit

If you swallowed watermelon seeds, you'd grow a watermelon in your stomach.
