re: Aging and inner life theory. Agree or not?

That falls under "volatility simmers down" haha...
Aging and inner life theory. Agree or not?
Posted by DarlingClementine on 4/3/24 at 6:14 pm
About aging:
Just a comforting theory for the youngsters on this board. When you are middle aged, or old, you will be THE SAME person you always were ( maybe a little mellower, and certainly uglier, but you will probably just be a physically older version of you.)
Once, in my 20s, I was in a f...
re: Observations on 50 years of married life (long)
Posted by DarlingClementine on 4/3/24 at 4:40 pm
All good advice, but also not "one size fits all". ..;so tweak as needed!
Congrats on 50 years. Mr Clem and I made it to 40 years before I was widowed. So one piece of advice I have is that while saving for retirement is VERY important, don’t hyper focus on it to the tune of not having experienc...

"Another thing that happens is illegal cutting of timber where land has an absentee owner"
Happened to my great aunt in Mississippi. She (in her 80s) was tipped off to timber theft on her land. She has a timber cruiser estimate the value of what was stolen, invited the thief to her house, and pre...

re: What's your vehicle's name?
Posted by DarlingClementine on 3/28/24 at 8:52 am
I guess it is Blue Moose.
All vehicles look alike to me , especially generic blue -grey SUV’s. (I would be the WORST getaway car describer ever. Please don’t make me be a witness). I put a moose sticker on each side window so I can recognize it in a parking lot, and when my sister comes to visit...
re: My friend killed himself
Posted by DarlingClementine on 3/28/24 at 8:36 am
That hurts, but it was not your fault. Even had you been there for him, most likely you could not have prevented it.
Suicide is so alien in most of our thoughts, that we struggle to understand how that becomes a"solution" for someone. Forgive him for doing it, and forgive yourself for not being t...
re: Dell announces work from home - no promotions
Posted by DarlingClementine on 3/26/24 at 6:53 pm
Being retired , it does not apply to me. (But, In a sense, I do work from home now, since I sell on eBay). In my "real"working years I would have LOVED wfh.
A really good wfh job would be the ability to work from ANYWHERE in the world, not just from your house. I met a girl doing medical billi...
re: Do you have issues lending stuff to people?
Posted by DarlingClementine on 3/26/24 at 6:37 pm
I have no idea which of my neighbors is currently hosting my snowblower . However, when it snows, whoever has it usually blows my driveway & sidewalk as well as their own….so win-win!
Years ago, when I was a student at LSU, a friend of mine borrowed my bicycle. She was hit by a car (who didn’t st...
re: Southwest 737 deviates off final approach at LGA and nearly collides with control tower.
Posted by DarlingClementine on 3/25/24 at 11:24 am
I have some major flights coming up (one approx 15 hrs) and am rather anxious about it. I also flew a couple of weeks ago, and booked through the airline in order to see exactly what plane type I would be on.
Yeah, yeah, it’s "safe"….but it’s still a roll of the dice. One in a zillion only feels...

Irritating as hell. However, I would 100% NEVER pay for her order. She won in the end. Old baw who paid should have just given her an earful WITHOUT paying. You all should have.
Grocery store checkout is another place that is famous for divvying up a cart full of food and paying with half dozen ...
re: ‘Once in a Lifetime’ Photo of Bobcat Pouncing on Heron Mid-Flight

It truly was Once in a Lifetime for that photographer, but not in the history of photography.
I spent last week photographing gators and birds in SW LA , and accidentally screwed up a gator hunt…His intended prey (nutria) saw me and flushed a fraction of a second before the gator launched. I di...

What 10 year old kid needs an energy drink ?
Also,, those purported added ingredients just look nasty, not all that harmful (NOT excusing her, quite the opposite. It needs to be delved into more in case she is "forgetting" an ingredient ). So, I would guess they are analyzing the drink, if it w...

"My wife and I decided 20 years ago that travel was an investment"
I agree. For my husband and i, it certainly was important.
It does not have to be expensive or to foreign countries (though it sometimes was) but a total break from your everyday life and routine and location is ...

You are right, it is old. I can’t imagine why I said "fairly new" lol. Do people even still do that? Like I said, it wouldn’t work a second for me...
re: How much do you all save/plan for a family vacation?
Posted by DarlingClementine on 3/5/24 at 9:15 am
Well, that escalated.
Personally, I have never earmarked savings for anything in particular. If I want to do something, or buy something, and have the money, I do it. If I don’t, I charge it (and pay off monthly) or don’t do/buy until I do.
A fairly new budgeting concept is putting money ...

The newest ones involve Kate Middleton. Serious surgery, then not being seen in over a month, now closer to 2 months. The palace even had to address her health "she’s doing fine" statement style, but there are plenty who think "seeing is believing ", and she hasn’t been seen. Also, once she is seen...
re: You ever see those BEWARE OF FALLING ROCKS signs?

WOW! I live in a mountainous area and see those signs frequently, as well as rocks in the road….but me and a falling rock have never, thankfully, intersected.
And those aren’t rocks. They are car sized boulders!...
re: Spinoff thread - a teenager asks you to borrow your phone
Posted by DarlingClementine on 3/2/24 at 1:22 pm
I guess I’m naive.
Several years ago I drove to a local park where I walked every afternoon. A young woman, but not a teen, ran up to my truck, freaking out, and asking if she could borrow my phone because all her things, including her phone, been stolen from her car . I’m aware of the scams wh...
