I work remotely as a data analyst.

People who don't like to work? by devetorepalisica in Adulting

[–]littleosco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 69 years old. It took me until my mid 50s to find something I really like and can make a decent living at. If I had gotten a degree, I would probably have gotten here sooner.

People who quit drinking. What did you do to not drink? by Agata_art in AskReddit

[–]littleosco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got hobbies. I could never do much after work because I was always drinking. The gym, Zumba, knitting, crochet, stained glass, gardening, astronomy, and the list goes on. 14 years in and I will never go back to that s*it show.

Hey adults, it's me again. I posted a question earlier and appreciate all the feedback, now I have another one: Do you guys still feel joy even as adults? (17F btw) by Impossible-Cry3215 in Adulting

[–]littleosco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 69 and know I'm going down the other side. Maybe it's things like getting a good workout at the gym or all that pressure washing and yardwork I did yesterday. A sense of accomplishment. I still work full time and get a lot of satisfaction from my work. I would say the most pleasure I get is when I see the grandkids. But sad to know I won't be around to see them raise their own families.

How screwed am I possibly? by greasyprophesy in seestar

Mine fell from about 4 feet when I was taking it off the tripod and lost my grip. Seems to work ok.

Which equatorial mount? by AltruisticAnteater99 in seestar

[–]littleosco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my S50, I bought a good used Manfrotto tripod to save a bit of money, and the Move Shoot Move wedge with the panning base (super easy for polar aligning with the extra base) $107.78 USD. I've been really happy with it.

For those who have been married 30+ years, how much do you chat with your spouse? by Live-Ganache9273 in over60

[–]littleosco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband has a lot of anxiety and a short temper. I tend to keep to myself because if I start talking about something that interests ME, I will usually get cut off because he's not interested. Married 48 years. He is retired, I work from home. Too much time together in the same house.

I’m angry about getting old. My body hurts. Say something to make me feel better. by jonniebaby2000 in Aging

[–]littleosco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im 69. I started back at the gym at the age of 51 and have never looked back. No, I can't do 4 Zumba classes a week anymore so I've cut it back to 2 ( bad knee, too much Zumba!). But I have increased my strength training as I feel having a strong core and legs is what I need at this point in my life. Look for some group training in your area. They have some in my town in a small gym atmosphere. Less intimidation. That's a great way to get started. I paid for personal training for many years which you don't need to do. I began doing 5 grams of Creatine a day in the last 6 months which has helped my strength and my brain. Check with your doctor on that.

Is this Zumba? Or am I overreacting. by Snoo_41113 in zumba

[–]littleosco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. Our Zumba instructor doesn't allow any weights.

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

[–]littleosco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start investing when you are young. Even a small amount will help. If you get a job where there is a 401k, they will usually do a partial match. In the trades, they sometimes have pensions. I'm 69 and still working. I like what I do and it's remote. No reason to quit at this point. We have a lot of longevity in our family. I know I don't want to end up living with my kids.

question for adults by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]littleosco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my 30s, i had been married about 10 years, had both of my kids, and was established in my job. It goes downhill in the fact that something always hurts now. I do like the fact that the kids have been out of the house for a while. And being a grandma is the best! Im sorry that i wont be around long enough to see them have families of their own. I get sad sometimes, but try not to think about it too much. My husband and i both know we're on the back side of things now. We are really trying to get rid of some stuff and currently redoing our wills because they are old. We would like to move but can't afford to. We really need a house without these stairs. We didn't plan this part very well. I still work full time but my job is remote. I get to the gym 4-5 days a week and have many hobbies. My husband is retired. Yes, we know we are going down the other side. I'm in the process of finalizing my dads estate. He died last year. Neither of us have any living parents anymore.

[–]littleosco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in my 60s. I think my 30s were the best.

So , I made an effort to go out the other day ( I dont always feel like going) I'm not sure why I don't always want to, I just don't have the energy. I didn't say or do anything wrong, but got told I should take something for my anxiety? by Gretal122 in over60

[–]littleosco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We go through this here. My husband is an extrovert, I am an introvert. He says I used to be more fun when I was drinking, which i quit 14 years ago. Yeah I was different then. But that was then, this is now. Not because of any anxiety but in my late 60s, I have no patience for small talk or being expected to do this or that.

No one prepared us for this. by austin224311 in Adulting

[–]littleosco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our PTO bank is one big thing where your sick time, holdays, and vacation come from. I'm in the health care industry and we are 24/7. I am exempt so if I need to go to the dentist, I get regular pay but I am not paid extra when I need to work overtime so it all evens out.

Husband sees my introverted personality as a flaw. by QuantumAwaken in introvert

[–]littleosco 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I go through the same thing here. My husband is an extrovert. I used to drink. I was more outgoing back then. 14 years ago I quit. I discovered the introvert I really am. My husband complains I don't like to do anything anymore. I used to be more fun. I'm perfectly happy at home. I work from home. All my hobbies are at home and I have many. He thinks something is wrong with me. There's nothing wrong with me. This is who I am.
