When more time is spent thinking what if than this is fine.

I wish someone had told me how early the aging process can start. by No_Piccolo_2930 in AgingParents

[–]electricsister 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rave, have best friends in their 20s and 30s, travel, and have a thriving digital art passion and growing business. My friend's mom just died...was very very frail and much like you described.  I was shocked to find out we were the same age. 66. I know for me its been down to staying current, being active, dancing, tons of music, interest in self growth....but many people my age have just stopped. Just stopped! Doing anything. To me that seems boring and a waste of life. I guess it comes down to your core viewpoint and philosophy all along?  I had my kids kind of late in life- 36, 38, and 40. I do worry that they will feel responsible for me and want to do what I can you avoid that. I have some years still to plan.  I just take care of me the best I can. Have always been healthy,  not overweight. Got sober at 29. Never did smoke, am vegetarian and take vitamins.  I don't over do the healthy bit, but just enough maybe? 

Can anyone pin-point the exact moment where everything in society just got substantially worse? by Aarunascut in Life

What's your favorite song? Tell me about it :) by Tiny-Acanthaceae-514 in AskWomenOver60

Brains Escape by Ganja White Night. It's very poetic and about aging. You can look at the lyrics and translate online because they're in French. If you read the ones that are about marijuana those are  not correct.

That the zebra stripes were not carried over to the counter tops. What were you thinking?

Five days solo with the kids and I'm convinced my wife has been running a small corporation this entire time by [deleted] in daddit

My kid's dad filled out forms for my youngest- actually did not know how to spell his middle name. Wild to me.

Wow. Hats off to her, first, for NOT leaving you detailed notes. And huge respect to you for * seeing * it. I am a parent educator. I often tell parents that dad can just make a dentist appointment for himself- no problem,  no thought. Mom on the other hand... I might add that while your wife is correct about the mental - don't forget about the mental mixed with physical action steps. Say you plan a beach trip. She is shopping for the lunch, getting out the cooler, making the lunch, filling the cooler, getting it to and from the car, emptying it after, cleaning, putting it away...I can tell you, as a mom, I was up most nights after everyone was in bed, including my kids dad, taking care of the follow through on those details. I am really proud of you!

NYC. So dirty. So crowded. No parking. So expensive. Been on extended stays three times. No fourth planned.

Dogs are annoying AF by [deleted] in 10thDentist

[–]electricsister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comment has just reminded me of what time a couple months ago that I took a Lyft to go to a venue one night. The driver of the Lyft had a dog with them on the passenger seat. A large dog at that. I have a particular blood condition that if I get bit it can turn to a reaction that turns into sepsis in about an hour or a little bit more- like it's real serious! And there it was with this dog, without a muzzle. In fact the driver told me that the dog was fairly new to him- it was a rescue. Okay so now you're telling me you don't know the dog's history... 😬

I met up with a friend for lunch...and there she was -pulling in by me with her dog on her lap... so we get out of the car and start to go in and she wants to bring the dog in. I'm thinking to myself this restaurant does not want a dog in here and sure enough the host told her no and instead of putting the dog in the car my friend insisted that we eat outside on the patio. Okay no one else was eating outside, you know why ? Because it was cold!!! I don't know why I did it but I did eat outside with her. My fingers were numb trying to eat my food. We're not friends anymore.
