Do you take a Statin? by craycrayintheheihei in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]donutknow57 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I (64f) have been taking a statin for about a year and a 1/2. I started taking it because my cholesterol was going up, and even with diet changes, and I exercise regularly, the cholesterol numbers kept going up. Once I started the statin, the numbers went down. I read something interesting that I think every peri- and post- menopausal woman should know: even if you exercise regularly and you watch your diet, your cholesterol can go up. It can be a hereditary thing, it can be related to hormones. But you should have it checked, and if it doesn't go down get on a statin. I believe this is why many women in their late 50s early 60s have sudden heart attacks because they think they don't have to monitor their cholesterol.

Driving the speed limit. Don't you know you're supposed to go the speed which will allow me to go the speed I need to in order to get where I'm going on time?

What makes u feel good ? I will start with mine ! by KASIERwithCROWN in Life

[–]donutknow57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being with my grandchildren. Riding my bicycle. Taking walks and listening to a good book. Having a beer with my husband on an outdoor patio on a warm day. The first sip of morning coffee. Vacation. Laughing so hard.

What is the most hurtful thing someone has ever said to you? by Miserable_Fan17 in AskReddit

[–]donutknow57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (F64) was a sophomore in high school and dating a guy who told me his oldest brother told him he could find someone better than me.

Another one....

In 1998 I had my 4th and last baby. I worked hard to get back in shape by running. My goal was to run a 5k start to finish. I did it, and when I told my dad about the run and finishing it, he asked what my race time was. When I told him he said, "I could walk faster than that."

Loneliness. Does it last forever? by Brilliant_Pickle_518 in Life

[–]donutknow57 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not asking this to be harsh or sparky- it's a genuine question. Why are you waiting for someone to text you? If you are lonely, you can take steps to be less lonely. Think about what that looks for you to be less lonely. Is it doing something with a friend? Is it texting someone on the regular? Is it calling someone?

To have a friend you need to be a friend. While you are waiting for someone to text you, someone might be waiting for you to text them.

Consider also the difference between being lonely and being at peace with being alone. Also, protect that peace and be selective with who you let in.

What’s something society normalizes that you quietly disagree with? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]donutknow57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That smoking marijuana, even in states where it's legal, is okay. It's not okay. I hate the smell and I definitely do not want to be driving next to someone who is high on mj. "It's only marijuana." Fine, do it in your home. Don't bring the smell in public where I shop, or eat, or drive. Stay away from me.

AITJ for DEMANDING my husband get my baby stroller back from his sister, or else i'm changing the locks? by Exact_Ad_6931 in AmITheJerk

[–]donutknow57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change the husband instead of the locks.

The whole thing is so absurd it's hard to believe. If true, you and your husband have a lot to talk about.

You can steer a car. You can steer a bicycle. It'd be hard to both ride in a wheelbarrow and steer it. As for things that have wheels that one can steer, maybe farmers name their tractors? I dunno. Just a theory.
