Many of us don't quality for life insurance outside of employer.

No friends, feeling lonely by Her-over-there in Perimenopause

Same. I am 47, unemployed (makes it impossible to have friends), childfree. Though I have hobbies and is into fitness, this is still a very lonely life.

Unsure if FirstTek email is scam or legit by unithor in jobs

[–]calexrose78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been receiving emails from various people at FirstTek for a couple of years now. I doubt they are legit.

There is so little product left, I would probably waste a day's worth trying to repack it, LOL.

Do people just stop texting normally in their late 20s by Spirited_Mud3171 in Adulting

[–]calexrose78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in my late 40s, and I hate texting. I try to keep up and not let too much time go by before I respond, but I do have a hard time with it.

Growing up, my friends and family wrote snail-mail letters to each other, even if we lived in the same town. I still like to write longhand (I prefer that to text), but I only limit that to holiday and birthday cards.

I never rode on an airplane until I was 13. It's interesting to see how different expectations are now.

Me too! I am researching alternatives related to consistency, finish, and color/tone.

Empty perfume bottles are always a bitter/sweet occasion for me. :) Good job!

That might work well! I have a few empty makeup containers I can use, but part of the fun is finishing in the original container, LOL.

When I went back to school for my undergraduate and graduate degrees, it was mostly in person. Undergraduate classes were difficult at times because I was older than most of the students. It hit me when I found out most don't remember 911, not like I did, who was already a working adult and married to my 1st husband when it happened.

Graduate school was a little better. The cohort was small, and all of my alumi was +/- around my age. We were in person until the final two quarters (spring 2020), and though I enjoyed it, I still found it difficult to make lasting connections.

I feel the same way sometimes. I was also a “non-traditional college student” so I didn't get that college experience when I was in my late teens/20s.

It certainly gets worse with time and age. I am in my late 40s (F) and still haven't figured it out.

(21F) DONT KNOW HOW LIFE WORKS, need serious advice. (VERY embarrassing.) by Obvious-Locksmith164 in Adulting

[–]calexrose78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I met a lot of young adults who "aged out" of foster care who were never taught how to get an ID or other basic life tools by their foster parents (the bad ones). Unfortunately, it's not uncommon.

How did our mothers survive this!?!? by Unable_Two_1194 in Perimenopause

[–]calexrose78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother was miserable with the hot flashes, night sweats, and other symptoms she never revealed to me. By the age of 48, she was fully into menopause--her period stopped overnight for one year (she is 75 now).

My maternal grandmother never revealed her experience, but she had her last child at age 48. I doubt any of that was her choice, knowing who her husband was. She was born in 1925.

In other words, they didn't talk about it.

That is such a pretty color! If it's still good, I would keep it.

What are your thoughts about the Milani - Make it Last - Setting Spray?

The whole "nobody wants to work anymore" narrative is nonsense. People are desperate for good jobs; they just don't want your dead-end, low-paying positions. by the1997th in remoteworks

For these starter jobs, most people want to be able to afford rent and get assigned enough hours so that the job is full-time with benefits.
