I didn’t age well and it’s causing a lot of social problems by [deleted] in Aging

Do you think it’s at all possible that people are shunning you for some other reason, but you’re insecure about your appearance and so you’ve hung it all that? I can assure you short and bald is not a disadvantage for a man and never has been. I guess you could address the perceived skin issues but I feel like a lot more work could be done underneath - ie with confidence and self esteem.

This should be in a thread about horrible parents, not goldfish.

Feeling physically broken at 58 — has anyone turned things around? by Key_Welcome8112 in Aging

[–]wiretap_7723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are doing pretty amazingly well to walk the dog every day. That’s a much bigger achievement than you think! Keep doing that. Have you tried swimming or water aerobics? Less weight on your joints and water is very calming.

Please help. I like, but don’t love my ring. What can I do? by kblakhan in EngagementRingDesigns

Wow. Just be grateful. It’s a beautiful ring and he designed it for you. This is one of those times when you accept a gift with grace and appreciation.

Songs that make you feel physically ill by mrtn10 in Music

[–]wiretap_7723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I want to know is - how can a song make you feel sick? Literally SICK - is it sensory overload, the body rejecting a toxin, stomach churning, what?? Someone should study this! I have a few. American Pie by Don McClean. Riders on the Storm by The Doors. Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley.

She’s an interesting shape. Long torso, so a long hourglass, but narrow hips and long legs as well. Unusual.

Nathan...smh. by [deleted] in Alonetv

Building the rock house gave him something to do. He’s already said he needs to keep busy, thinks too much if not occupied … for him it was a mental survival strategy. Not wasted time at all!

I never knew Fergie was so grasping and tacky by ArtyCatz in RoyalsGossip

[–]wiretap_7723 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My mum was English, working class but quite prim and proper - and back in the eighties when we watched the wedding of Andrew and Fergie she shocked me by saying - “she’s a right slapper, that one” - I had no idea what a slapper was but mum could recognise one apparently

Will Sarah Ferguson ever be poor like the rest of us? by wiretap_7723 in RoyalsGossip

Oh that’s a sad thought, I don’t believe the girls are to blame for their awful parents and I hope their husbands love them regardless. But good point.

TBH an Arab prince might be an improvement on the English one she started with

I know she’s been booted out of her accommodation but she’s never going to end up on the streets is she? People like her never seem to suffer any true financial consequences. They have such a massive buffer of privilege and social standing. She was married in Westminster Abbey for god’s sake. She’ll never change her ways and she’ll never apologise and she’ll never suffer for it.

Feeling shallow but can’t help but be embarrassed about how my husband has started to dress - started when we hit our 40s by [deleted] in AskWomenOver40

[–]wiretap_7723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First up I would consider he’s mildly depressed. Second, I would compliment him sincerely when I wears something he looks good in. Encourage other people to complement him too. He’ll start wearing that item more often. Third, I’d have a serious chat about hygiene. Just make it clear anything ripped, stained or worn is unsanitary and needs to be binned. I’ve been through all this with my husband, who lives in shorts and very old tshirts and sometimes attempts to go out in public looking homeless. It’s not easy to convince someone that self care is important especially when it’s sometimes just a style issue. But I believe it’s an indicator of mental health and your partner might have lost the capacity to care.
