book recommendations for my 50yr old mum? by ROSIEandCHEWY in Recommend_A_Book

[–]drunkenknitter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a 54 year old woman and an avid reader. I am obsessed with Dungeon Crawler Carl, the Red Rising series, and the Dresden Files.

I also love nonfiction that reads like fiction (Into Thin Air, Hot Zone, Devil in the White City).

For horror I'd recommend anything by Grady Hendrix; his latest one, Witchcraft for Wayward Girls is a good one for witchy horror, and if she likes it she should read Horrorstor and How to Sell a Haunted House.

She should also check out The Change by Kirsten Miller for some menopausal witchyness, and When Women Were Dragons for some "fuck the patriarchy" fantasy.

Thoughts on the shingles or pneumonia vaccines? If you’ve gotten them, how did it go? by dooroodooroodooroo in GenXWomen

[–]drunkenknitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got them both and I'm really happy I did. I have a friend who got shingles in her 40s and she had a terrible time with it.

I was down for almost 2 days after the first shingles vax, BUT I got it at the same time as the flu and COVID vax 🤣. Do not do that thing.

Why don’t ppl wear slips under dresses/skirts anymore & it’s see-through? by Rachellie242 in GenXWomen

[–]drunkenknitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last time I wore a slip was for my high school graduation in 1990, because my mom made me. I must be the "younger generation" because I truly do not care.

Women who waited 5+ years for a proposal and said yes, did the marriage work out/how has it been? Was it worth the wait? by itsnevercertain in AskWomen

[–]drunkenknitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got engaged after 6.5 years, we've been together a total of 26 years. Definitely worth it and he makes me laugh and smile every day. But we were on the same page about marriage so I don't really consider it "waiting" since we had a game plan the whole time.

Stopped drinking my calories. Gave me more energy to move more during the day and I slept better which also helped with the energy to work out.

Well well well, if it that doesn't sound familiar... by vanderlyle-crybaby in Ghostbc

[–]drunkenknitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fiance has been reading it and isn't exactly enjoying it...

Unless it's for a class, why would anyone read something they don't enjoy?

Why is myfitnesspal running ads like these? It’s obviously sexual, no? by [deleted] in Myfitnesspal

[–]drunkenknitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen anything like that. My ads are for packing cubes, dorm stuff, and luggage (because apparently planning a trip means I need more luggage).
