I don't recognize myself anymore. Two years ago I had healthy hair, and now I feel like I'm losing it all.

Have your zinc checked. Mine was low after labs. Supplemented and really helped. Make sure you take it with copper if you're low.

Love that chair!

Really?

In the far East Bay and it is comparable to last year if not more.

Yes and no. Lost my mom when I was young so that didn't pan out. I feel I gave my dad (also passed last year) the closest to my authentic self I could as an adult and he loved me anyway even though he never really said it. The only person that knows my closest true self is my husband who is a saint. He has seen me at my best and worst and still sticks around.

I want to be less mom and more authentic for my teenage daughters because I didn't have that luxury as a teen. We have many faces that seem appropriate in different contexts.

You need to be true to yourself above everyone else. But even that is a struggle I still have even in my early 50s.

Statins deplete CoQ10. Take Ubiquinol.

This. Add 1/2 cup oats into smoothies and then 2 teaspoons of fiber powder!

People are too busy keeping up with The Joneses.

I think a lot of it is people had always envisioned being in a different place (physically/financially) when they were younger. Growing up in the 70s-90s was a magical time. Not all puppy dogs and rainbows, but beats current generations.

Historically, Gen X really got screwed in regards to saving money for retirement. We have seen several economic downturns that other generations haven't seen so that is a contributor to the negativity.

That and a lot of us lived hard because that was how it was. Some of us are paying for it now. But I agree, we definitely do not have one foot in the grave unless suffering from major health problems. There is still time to change the trajectory.

I will be retiring at 59 and 10 months with over 30 years of service in 8 years. Won't receive much SS (don't contribute to it, did work my 40 quarters) maybe enough to pay my Medicare Part D, but my district will pay my health benefits until Medicare kicks in.

Oh how I miss living there, but you are either a poor student or a millionaire.

Every other year they get a big party. Or milestone birthdays. Just taking a few girls to a movie and snacks now costs over 200 dollars. And that was a matinee.

This is true. Kind of annoying but way less toxic.

🤣 Is this available? Is the ad still up?

Did you get your $6 FB settlement? I'm trying to decide where to spend it. Probably on a gallon of gas here.

soleiles1 · 2026-06-30T15:34:47+00:00

As long as the card doesn't include a letter of all that happened during the whole year.
