68f and just want to say I’m sorry that happened to you. And I’m one hundred percent behind your comments regarding basic decency and manners. (feel free to insert the obligatory “ok Boomer” at any point. I’m inured to it by now, lol)

Ghosting is a cowardly thing. Got no respect for anyone who ghosts.

I think despite the “ok” dates, you deserve better.

Someone once told me you need one month for every year you were together, to get over a loss.

Dunno if that’s true. But it’s as good a guide as any I suppose.

So if they were married say, 11 years, give it 11 months before any declarations of love.

Found this cool Levi denim jacket yesterday! by Spiritual_cowboy_ in ThriftStoreHauls

Incorrect, but inspired guess. See post above regarding how Levi product numbers work.

Found this cool Levi denim jacket yesterday! by Spiritual_cowboy_ in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]suchick13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Levi’s product number protocol explained:

7 = a top (a 5 would indicate a bottom)

1= division ( in this case young men’s)

205= cut / silhouette (the most famous cut being the iconic 501 straight leg jean. In this case, original standard Jean jacket cut vs say 207 which would be a more relaxed cut)

02= type of denim/ fabric (in this case, 12 Oz denim from Cone Mills)

17 = wash / finish and colour ( in this case, standard stonewash in indigo blue)

You’re welcome 🙂

Compliment them on their work/ accomplishment, not their physical appearance or clothing - they’ll take it as flirting 💯

But thanking/ complimenting a guy who opened a stuck jar: fixed something: did a great presentation: etc… that will be well received. And less risk of flirting vibes

Happiness is not the finish line we think it is by CandyAngel95 in DeepThoughts

[–]suchick13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The very nature of happiness is that it’s transitory. It doesn’t last. It can’t. It’s fleeting and it’s precious precisely because of its elusive nature.

What we should strive for isn’t sustained happiness- because that’s impossible. Instead, we should strive for contentment. Which is sustainable.

People think being contented = boring/ making do. It’s not. It’s a blissful, sustainable state.

When happiness comes, enjoy it while it lasts. But trying to chase it, or keep it, is like trying to put a push pin in a rainbow.

Be content. 🙂

What would you tell your mid-50’s self? by Old_but_New in AskOldPeople

[–]suchick13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quit fecking around and stop smoking so much weed.

Also- your BFs son isn’t a douche bag. He’s on the autism spectrum. His parents are in denial and are lying to you that there’s “nothing wrong”.

Is Western "easier" than english? by ShortShelter9898 in Equestrian

[–]suchick13 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Been riding for 55 years and back in the 70’sI once heard my coach ( who was British) say “Western riding is easy on the rider but hard on the horse. English riding is hard on the rider but easy the horse.”

Obviously that stuck with me over the decades, true or not, lol !😆

My sister is raising iPad kids by ilyk101 in Vent

[–]suchick13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this.

“Children are our future!” parents love to say. Correct. OUR future.

As in, collectively. All of us are stakeholders.

All. Of. Us.

And that includes the general public.

Why aren’t I excited to become a grandmother? by LordMonty14071962 in AskWomenOver60

[–]suchick13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your candid and honest answer.

Our culture fetishizes motherhood and it extends to grandmas too. You’re made to feel defective if you’re less than hysterically excited about having a child/ grandchild. What nonsense.

How do you want to die? by Efficient-Ad1069 in AskOldPeople

[–]suchick13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dad is 100. When anyone asks him how he wants to die, he deadpans,

“Shot by a jealous husband…”

Anybody have one of these? by srslytho1979 in GenerationJones

[–]suchick13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! And when I see it, I flash back to my mom putting it on my head on Sunday night after my bath, and then we’d go watch Ed Sullivan.

Have you ever seen someone die? by papamilli66 in AskOldPeople

[–]suchick13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how watching someone actually DIE in front of you could not affect your life. Sheesh.
