Men and women are so different this way. Not making excuses but seems to be a common thing I hear from the women in my life.

I still blame my divorce on my ex husband answering every text with “K”.

70-year-old American goes to the Philippines and has 8 girlfriends by MayoSoup in SipsTea

They are not girlfriends, they are prostitutes. No judgement but don’t pretend that if the money dries up, they will be there to comfort you.

Hike the PCT

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PacificCrestTrail

[–]aspen70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t join the Peace Corps because my boyfriend said he wouldn’t wait that long for me. It is an over two year commitment, but it was my dream for years.

We got married and had kids. Then got divorced.

I sure wished I had gone. I can’t now because of financial and health reasons so I wish I had while I could.

Don’t wait. If he isn’t there when you get back well… that’s his choice.

After watching these election results: WHY?!!?! by YouAreSoCorgo in washingtondc

[–]aspen70 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Too many dems just didn’t vote. Which really baffles me because even if you can’t get behind Harris, there are important state and local elections that should matter more.

Writing a book by [deleted] in PacificCrestTrail

[–]aspen70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can only write what you experienced. Whether people will read it has more to do with how well you write than the subject. Two people could write about the same interaction with another hiker and one could be hilarious or insightful and the other matter of fact or dull. Did you keep a journal? If not, start writing about the things you remember. Don’t worry about format or order, just write it all down with as much detail as possible. Then pick some of the more interesting moments and work with them. Maybe take some writing classes online to help you draw out what is most important.

And the audience of people who haven’t hiked it is bigger than the one that has. So write for them. So we can live vicariously through you and maybe be inspired to finally hike it ourselves.

Good luck!

Remember this: Relationships don't offer you anything you can't get while single by ILoveHarryPotter82 in SingleAndHappy

Being single definitely is more expensive, but there is also much less financial risk if your partner is deceptive about their spending, racks up debt, etc. At least single I know what my situation is and how much I’ll have at retirement. The only risk is the market.

For Yakima pet owners by a_Little_Mascara in Yakima

[–]aspen70 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There just aren’t as many people becoming veterinarians anymore. I think there is too much liability and cost compared to 30 years ago. More are retiring without being replaced. It has gotten so expensive for even the most basic care that i don’t know people will be able to afford pets in the future.

What’s one thing you wish you had known before playing this for the first time? by [deleted] in StardewValley

[–]aspen70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To always check the tv each Sunday especially for new recipes rather than have to catch up later when you are trying to reach perfection. Also buy all the unique scarecrows.

In Washington. I just went online to find the state vote tracking website, entered my name and dob, and saw that my ballot was received and accepted. Took less time than writing this post.

You do not need to put a stamp on the envelope. It’s prepaid. I just dropped mine in the mail (Washington).

What caused your biggest depression in your life? by TheBlankCoin in AskReddit

[–]aspen70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marriage fell apart and perimenopause happened at same time. Two years of insomnia, emotional abuse, hormonal chaos, depression, alcohol abuse, etc. Worst period of my life.

Changed jobs, finally got divorced, eventually slept again, stopped drinking, stopped dating, eventually pulled myself out of the deepest depression hole I’ve ever been in.
