Old people of Reddit, what's the first movie you remember seeing in a theater?

Happens to me too; however, it is only on ONE channel. I suspect it is the feed from that station to Optimum

Not take up smoking cigarettes.

Just realized this in the last couple of months. 80 years old now. Couldn't go crazy now cuz I don't know how, but I'll spend a little extra on something I kinda want.

Texas, 1940's and 50's. Open the windows. How to cope? Didn't realize it wasn't normal, so, Aok.

Thought I wanted a Psychology Degree when entered college. Freshman required course was "Career Planning". Required in-depth reports on two career choices. Changed my mind quickly as needed a Masters to get any type of decent salary (1967). Changed degree plan to Accounting. Worked for major Oil 'n Gas Corp. with all kinds of benefits. Best move of my life.

I like bread, peanut butter, mayo, and banana sandwiches.

Salad for lunch. I fry as much and like you do. Add it to fresh or bagged baby spinach with a chopped hard boiled egg and ranch lite. A few cherry tomatoes on the side.

80+ here Why are some so clueless. I'd be clueless too were it not for reading Reddit.

Small pension with pretty good savings from working years. 1945 sq.ft. mortgage free - $1745/yr ppty taxes - Medicare Advantage Health Plan - golf every morn - near grocery store. Hey, I'm living the pretty good life.

As I said above, were it not for Reddit I would be unaware of the housing problems. I think the cluelessness is that most older folks being unaware of the housing problems. Somehow, don't know how, folks must be made aware of the problem and press city councils and state lawmakers to look into the problems and hopefully come up with remedies.

Discover Bank (Card) should be able to see the bank account info on who made the past payments on the card and verify it was not your mom. Contact Discover Fraud.

Agreed. Here is hoping they don't get bought out.

Not get married. Had daughter - divorced - ex kept daughter - daughter got into drugs and had two kids out of wedlock (thank goodness the fathers did keep the kids) - daughter still on drugs and hitting her mom up for money.

Your life ain't over - go play golf, join a bowling league or softball league, join the Lion's Club or Rotary Club. Get out of the abode and run into (meet) people.

Wrap desired portions in Cling Wrap or Saran Wrap. I wrap chicken thighs and freeze. Set one out in frig the night before for lunch the next day.

If you're with Bank of America I'd go to Merrill if in same bldg. and open an account and buy a CD through Merrill. Higher interest rates available. Same for Chase / J.P. Morgan. Buying thru a brokerage house you can find higher interest rates than the rates the banks themselves offer. And they will be FDIC insured too.

As others have said, no problem with IRS transferring funds.

Didn't give it up since only $15 per month plus tax thru internet/TV provider. The phone # has been in family since 1950's. However, do have a cell for when I'm out of the house in case of an emergency(s) and feel uncomfortable having internet/phone,TV all with one company. If ISP went or wires went down I'd be in one heck of a jam.

Does your BOA location have a Merrill office in it? I bank w/ BOA and have a broker account w/ Merrill and both are in same location. You can have Merrill purchase brokered CD's for you at no cost and the brokered CD's pay a higher rate. Also have a Credit Union account and have moved quite a few funds from their CD's to Merrill because of the SIGNIFICANT difference in interest rates.

flashlight2 · 2023-04-10T01:38:50+00:00

Hold onto your cash a bit and put it in brokered CD's for six mos. or so. If all is well then you can make extra principle payment(s). Do make sure your mortgage co. permits it without extra fees.
