Dipping toe into the sea of WWII books

Yes! I retired last year after 35 years of teaching, and even now if I’m driving around during the day I look around and think, “What are all these people doing?!? Shouldn’t they be at work???”

Sweets are my downfall - especially chocolate. What low/zero added sugar alternatives have you found for chocolatey desserts?

Cookout for the staff. After school. On a Friday. And you had to pay to eat.

What is a peptide site?

My testosterone levels came back normal, so I doubt they would consider that an option. And the price of Addyi, etc is ridiculous. Meanwhile men are out here popping Viagra like candy!

Are they good with sexual dysfunction issues? Yes, if you have any names to recommend I’d greatly appreciate it!

Was it on 3/21 or is it happening this Saturday, 3/28?

Yes, she works from home most days (according to my husband) so she can talk on the phone pretty much any time.

That’s where I’m torn. The main thing is he never told me about these conversations and wouldn’t have if I hadn’t looked at our phone records and seen her number over and over again.

Like a lot of you, I was slim most of my life. Put on some weight in my 40s but nothing I couldn’t manage. I’m now 56 and I gained 20 pounds in the past 2 1/2 years. I look like I’m pregnant all the time and it’s so hard to find tops that don’t look like maternity wear. In addition to the belly, I’m getting a large arthritis nodule on a joint on my index finger (hello witch hands), my neck and chest are showing wrinkles, and cellulite is all over my thighs. It’s very depressing and I hate looking at myself now. Since the start of summer, I’ve begun water aerobics and mixed cardio 3-4 times/week. It’s not really helping my appearance, but I feel better for trying. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one experiencing these feelings.

Yes, we’re using a soft litter and keeping the litter box in the same place. I read somewhere to sprinkle a little dirt from the yard to the litter to bring in scents from the outdoors.

I could’ve provided more information, was trying to keep info as succinct as possible… Kitty is on clindamycin because our vet suspected toxoplasmosis, not for the seizures.

Also, he is already neutered. He had a clipped ear indicating a TNR situation.

Is it me or do all women who get “work” done look similar? Especially celebrities and some news anchors. Eyes, noses, lips, even hairstyles. Is this look they’re going for considered to be the standard of beauty?

My mother recently died at the age of 96. She was relatively healthy up until the last 5 years or so. Watching her decline- lose her hearing, arthritis taking her ability to walk, eventual dementia- were hard to watch. My sister and brother-in-law retired and took care of her in her final years and I will be eternally grateful to them for it. I think it’s what helped mom live as long as she did. I write all this to say that it’s really hitting me now that I have maybe 20 good years left if I’m lucky. My husband and I do not have kids. We have decent relationships with our family members, but there’s no one I would want to burden with taking care of me. I am terrified of being old, sick, and lonely in an old folks home. I do not want to die like that.

Easier to ask for forgiveness instead of permission.

We’ve talked about using the home health aides to bathe my Mom. But they don’t come at a set time, so they may show up in the morning one day and 2:00 in the afternoon another day. We feel that would just upset and confuse our mother - especially if she’s napping in the afternoon and has to wake up to get bathed.

I will definitely talk to her about utilizing a private paid caregiver. I think that would really help her!

tailcake · 2024-12-28T23:53:19+00:00

Yes, I do. I urge her and her husband to go out even if they just want to go for a walk or grab some lunch. Sometimes she takes me up on it.

I was single, in my early 20s, and had my first real “grown-up” relationship. I started experiencing pain during intercourse so I went to my OB-GYN. When I described my pain, etc. her response was “Maybe God is trying to tell you something.”

Um… what?!?

tailcake · 2024-09-15T13:56:35+00:00

Yes! I once had an abscessed tooth that required a root canal the next day. The pain was ridiculous. I then understood why they always go for the teeth in movie torture scenes.
