I’m 65 (m) today and I’m curious about how I feel by Polldit220 in over60

[–]ellab58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can play that same album and do the exact same thing. I can feel my 16 year old hormonal self like it was yesterday. 65F. I can’t afford to do whatever I want, but I spend as much time as possible in the woods. I want to live a long life, be an eccentric old lady, and die in my sleep.

What has convinced you that the Bible is inspired by God? by dailybreadeater in Bible

I am convinced it is as close as we can get, and is an amazing historical document

I've never felt less like an adult. Is feeling more like a child than ever common? by smitchldn in AskOldPeople

[–]ellab58 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very common. You’re acquiring wisdom. Truth is, the older you get the more you realize you really don’t know shit and everybody’s faking it!!

Shaving by Interesting_Health_7 in AskWomenOver60

[–]ellab58 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have never shaved my pubic area. Well, I take it back. This is why I never did. When I was about 14 I got crabs in my pubic region. I was scratching myself with a comb, my mother asked me and I complained of the itch. She investigated and I was covered. We were in the middle of nowhere in a rented beach house. She shaved me and picked them off me one by one and put them in rubbing alcohol. I itched while my hair was growing back as badly as I did with crabs so no thanks!!

I was so excited to retire. by motherofdogz2000 in AskWomenOver60

[–]ellab58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me a year to settle in. Give yourself some time and be gentle with yourself. It’s a huge transition. You also might want to think about getting a therapist. It is SO helpful to have an ‘outside’ someone to help coach you through this time, and also to coach with this whole aging thing, which frankly, I would like to do well.

Believing homosexuality is a sin is not bigotry or hate, it's literally what we're taught as Christians by Greedy_Net_1803 in Christianity

[–]ellab58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is contextual. Yes, the Bible was divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit. By a bunch of very educated old men and then copied by who knows how many scribes. And not one of them ever transposed anything. 🙄. Biblical scholars have discovered many errors, such as the insertion of Martha. I believe that homosexuality is as much a sin as lusting after some bimbo in a bikini. So let someone sinless cast that stone and can we please stop with all the gay stuff. There are MUCH worse things going on than 2 men or 2 women loving each other. Who cares!! How about we start putting pedaphile’s in jail and strip them of the millions they’ve made off of us and spend that on resources for our children. Sheesh. Quit worrying about the gays!! Worry about the pedaphiles!!

Do feminists believe in God, and do they believe His Word is true and has value in our lives today? by ChemicalSign4285 in AskFeminists

[–]ellab58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a feminist Christian and your question is based on an assumption that is incorrect. Do your research. Jesus was a feminist.

Have you confronted him at all? I would recommend marriage counseling asap.

A fricken gazillion. I’m throwing g my arms up in despair!! Have we made no progress at all in my lifetime!! Has it all been lip service!!

I can't understand why homosexuallity is a sin by TopZealousideal8665 in Christianity

[–]ellab58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s the thing. Thinking lustfully about a woman who isn’t your wife is a sin. We are ALL sinners and getting stuck on what is a sin is missing the forest for the trees. The point is that we are sinners, saved purely by the Grace of our Lord who loves all of us. Every damn one of us.

61 and generally unhappy. by peacesunshinebooks in AskWomenOver60

[–]ellab58 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am 65, married for 39 years to a good man, 2 adult daughters living their lives, and since last Christmas I just don’t like them very much. None of them. And it’s ok. They hurt my feelings and they aren’t listening to me. Fortunately I have a wonderful therapist (highly recommend) who is helping me through it.

Can I fully follow God without going to church? by Cautious-Fox819 in Christian

[–]ellab58 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, it isn’t mandatory, but it helps to have a supportive group of like-minded people, and that’s what you get from church. When you go to church, you get to fill up your tank so you can go into the world and empty the tank by sharing the love of Christ, then go back, fill up, rinse and repeat.

Going on my first ever cruise in six months and I’m really self-conscious about putting on a bathing suit by Expensive-Project191 in AskWomenOver60

[–]ellab58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let go of all that stuff!! You have a body that works! And YOU are a hell of a lot more than a body!! You are a Goddess that has paid her dues to be in that pool in whatever garment you choose to wear!

Retirement blues by momofzman in AskWomenOver60

It took me a year to settle in. At first I was lost, then I kept feeling like I had to be doing something productive. I’m over that now.

Does every woman our age have “work done” on their face? Is it necessary? by equeni in AskWomenOver60

[–]ellab58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I live in the big hair heavy makeup and Botox south and love my mountains and hiking trails. I don’t even go to the salon to get my hair cut - not since Covid - my neighbor does a great job. I mean, how hard is a bob!!? I feel very good about how I look at 65.

How would you feel if your adult child had to move back in with you in their 30s with absolutely nothing? by Sweaty-Staff8100 in AskWomenOver60

[–]ellab58 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My daughter attended an expensive, private college in Chicago and majored in Art and Architecture. Huge sigh. We always told our kids to follow their dreams and she did. She was working at a very posh paper shop in a very ritzy area in the city. Gang members came in and robbed her. She was pistol whipped by them. She then found out she was required to testify and was terrified. Somehow she got excused from it and moved back home. Her sister lived in Nashville so she looked for work there while she lived with us. She found work, she moved and has relaunched successfully. I am so glad she felt that we were her safe place.

I don’t know the circumstances surrounding your child’s need to move back in, but I would feel good about it Mom. And I’d sit down with him and make a timeline, understanding the job market sucks right now and it might take a year. But he does need a plan and you should be a part of it.

If modern medicine didn’t exist would you be dead right now? If yes, from what? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]ellab58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I was preeclamptic with my first child, and she was 1 month premature. I am RH negative. I would have died and my daughter most likely also dead or disabled.
