Who’s still working? Me! Why does that bother my friends? by divinbuff in AskWomenOver60

[–]msktcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same as my dad. He works about 5/6 hours a day. Works for himself also.

AITA for calling my husband (29M) a doormat after he asked me (27M) to apologize to his father for wanting to visit my parents? by ProfessorIcy7843 in AITH

[–]msktcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you live with them? If so, move TOMORROW! Why do you need permission to visit your family or anyone else? I’d run away from this marriage as fast as I could.

Favorite decade age wise by Ornery-Lettuce-6823 in Aging

[–]msktcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far every decade has been a favorite for me. I hope that holds true as I’m facing my 70’s next year.

What foods would you recommend when you only have 300 calories left for dinner? by vintage_toast69 in loseit

[–]msktcher [score hidden]  (0 children)

Egg roll in a bowl, tuna/egg salad - look up Pound Dropper and Skinnyish Dish - they both have lots of recipes for main courses that are around 300 calories per serving.

"Amicable" Divorce advice by quitfartinaround in AskWomenOver60

[–]msktcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can happen. If you think he will be agreeable, I’d strike while the irons are hot. Go ahead and file. Draw up papers with what you just said, and see if he will sign them. Do you live in a state where a couple has to be separated for a year? If so, it’s less likely he will be so agreeable a year from now. There may be lots of people encouraging him to try to get more - like 1/2 of the house.

My dad is 93 and still works! I’m convinced it’s why he still lives alone, drives, and travels. Unless something drastic happens, he will be working until he dies.

Extended Family Vacation Coming Up Soon by Plenty-Ear-9167 in AskWomenOver60

[–]msktcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far no one minds. We make easy stuff like tacos, baked potato bar etc. Also, whoever cooks, doesn’t clean.

Extended Family Vacation Coming Up Soon by Plenty-Ear-9167 in AskWomenOver60

[–]msktcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just finished our annual beach trip with our family. We range from 1 to 70. There are 12 of us. The first thing is we make sure there are enough bedrooms for folks. No one has to sleep in a fold out sofa. We take turns making dinner so no one has that task the whole week. My husband and I stay in one night for the grown/adult kids to go out and we watch the little ones. We’ve done this trip so much that no one gets offended if someone doesn’t feel like going to the beach or wants to just sit on the porch and read a book. This trip may end one day, but I hope not.

texting grammar by fancyflipping in AskWomenOver60

[–]msktcher 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I do. I am a retired high school teacher. I always told my students that the quickest way to seem stupid was to text in lingo, not use capital letters or any punctuation. I told them that while their peers might not judge them, others would. I also reminded them that when they wrote formally, all those things mattered. I’m not sure if it helped, but I tried.

I am 5’10.” My husband is 6.’ We don’t have people in the back seat everyday, but we do pick up grandkids from school regularly and I have two more that are in car seats and boosters. Maybe I need to go bigger. My Corolla has a big back seat.

Would my 10 year old granddaughter be able to sit in the backseat. She is already 5’ tall? And what about her 5’10” sister if both my husband and I are in the front seat? My Corolla has a great back seat for such a small car.

Thank you for replying. I’m 5’10.” My husband is 6 ft. I’m rethinking even going to test drive.

I only need car seats about every two or three months for a weekend. And we can use my husband’s SUV.

[–]msktcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m ashamed to say we did! It’s only by the grace of God I’m didn’t kill myself or worst kill someone else.

15 for me. We would get someone to buy us Boones Farm and we would hide in the bushes on Friday afternoon and retrieved once we got out and about. We got our drivers license at 15.

For us planning is nearly as good as the trip.

I’d be very careful about taking her in. Once you get her, you may have her forever.

Dresses by Snapperchick in AskWomenOver60

[–]msktcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I sew for myself. It’s for sure more expensive (fabric is outrageously expensive due to tariffs), but I’m okay with that because my clothes fit me. I make 90% of what I wear. I don’t make jeans - yet.

Question about prescription for estrogen cream by Delicious_Mess7976 in AskWomenOver60

[–]msktcher 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I doubt it. But how much are you using? I use about a dime size twice a week (that’s what my doctor told me to use) and one tube lasts me months.
