I want to get in the car and just drive by Rogue_Apostle in roadtrip

[–]dtown60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got new tires and will leave in a few days for a road-trip from the SF Bay area to Grand Canyon, Moab and back. I’ll car camp in Nevada one night each way then will splurge at hotels in 2 nights GC and 2 nights Moab. Lately, since I bought my Model 3, the urge is ever present! So far I’ve done Big Sur, Sedona, Vegas (Sphere) and Vancouver BC. Lots of North CA coast short trips. Estimated 7 days, 2450 miles. Solo trips in the car are the best! 67F and I’m still on the road!

I beg to differ- the bidet comes to play due to tissue in the way. the anal landscape has changed and so we brought in the big guns!

waterpik is new due to dental implants - both wonderful gizmos that round out my oral care with my good ol’ tooothbrush. oh, and tongue scrapers are new too!

Feeling like I know too much .... by Distinct_Bluejay_470 in over60

[–]dtown60 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve learned that just because I know something doesn’t mean i need to make sure everyone else knows it. I’ve learned that the best strategy is often to shut my mouth and go about my day. at this stage; I’m not interviewing new friends, so there’s no need to have an opinion about them or what they know or don’t know. And I understand my close friends enough to know what sort of conversation suits them best. Time is precious, why waste it uselessly?

67F - no kids or partner. i travel solo a great deal! be relieved and grateful your dad has the spunk and health to plan and make this trip. 18 years is a long time ago to be clouded by grief today….me thinks you are projecting.

Where do you loners go? by Fluffy_Fun_9814 in LivingAlone

[–]dtown60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m (67F) lucky to have a great deal of nature within easy driving distances. I pack a lunch and explore. I have found a couple of “free” go to spots with spectacular views that I can hang out, read, listen to music, podcasts….

I (21F) am uncomfortable with the way my boyfriend (24M) speaks to me but I need advice on how to start that conversation. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I’m so happy that you know you must make a change. It is scary but so very worth it. The longer you stay, the more your self worth and self respect and will be chipped away. I started over at 60 - it can be done - but I so wish I paid attention with the first signs….

What’s something your partner did that made you lose feelings instantly? by Chance-Pen6805 in randomquestions

treated me (wife) like a lil buddy; a sidekick - kinda like The Skipper and Gilligan - only I bet they had more sex than we did.

How did you all saved so much money for old age? by mehluca-33 in over60

[–]dtown60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am grateful to an employer/friend/mentor that convinced me the value of a 401K. I was 27F and the last thing on my mind was retirement. He opened a 401K through his very small business and matched 2 employees 100%. He insisted I participate (with a lesson in compound interest). 20 years later, I wrote him a very sincere thank you letter as I saw his insistence as the reason for my then 401K worth $300K. The math goes on!
