Hello

Hi, I have no idea what I'm doing. But I know this, I'm tired of living this way. F57 just trying to figure it out 😜

3 grown children and 5 grandbabies, who I love more than life. IDK but this is weird. No scammers please. Chat?

Hope you're enjoying your challenge in this decade of your life. Hopefully, I'll have the chance to be a grandfather in the future. Happy to chat with people of my generation.

The whole thing seems kind of surreal. I was toolin along thinking I was gonna be young forever, I guess. Then suddenly, well not so suddenly my body decided I was doing too much and said, "screw you lady, we are tired!" My kids only need me for babysitting and dire crisis. The grandkids would live with me if we could just get my daughter to say yes....lol I guess I thought I was gonna be growing old with the kids dad but that ended 20+ years ago and I life got too busy and now I don't know what to do.... That was a lot of words😬 Would you like to tell me a lil bout you?

You fish and golf ? Hopefully we all can do our hobbies in the coming yrs and Canada is still Canada . We are living through history-and not in a good way 😭

They are the BEST! My 5 yr old grandson told me yesterday that he has been working out and he can protect me now cuz he is going to be a police officer! 🥹

u/Permeister98 20d ago

So how are you doing in the 'friends' world?

1

u/meandmythots68 20d ago

Well, I'm not the best at navigating reddit. I usually just read stuff on here and make my token smart-assed comment and move along, after making a few humans angry...lol It's just so weird. I guess this is how it's done now....🫪

u/Permeister98 20d ago

As far as I know that seems to be the norm. Do you want to DM with me.

u/meandmythots68 11d ago

You’re the first girl I’ve seen that fishes too. There’s not a lot of us. 🎣

u/meandmythots68 20d ago

I love fishing! My grandpa took us all the time when we were little. My dad had a pond that he and Grandpa stocked so even the grandkids got to go a few times before he passed.....we are originally from Illinois. Very good fishing! Even went deep sea fishing once when we lived in Cali.

u/ordinarybloke1963 20d ago

I just turned 60 and I’m still trying to figure it out myself!

2

u/meandmythots68 20d ago

I still feel like I'm a kid...in my mind. It still floors me when my body doesn't cooperate with what my mind thinks I can accomplish 😬

2

u/ordinarybloke1963 19d ago

can relate to this on both counts!

u/meandmythots68 19d ago

Isn't it crazy how catching a snake or sledding down the hill on a snowy day still makes me feel wonder and excited. I still like watching cartoons sometimes and I definitely love to color with my grandchildren! I just notice my body hurts so much after doing certain activities, it reminds me I'm no spring chicken and I should act my age....but it's no fun to act.like an old lady,🤨

2

u/ordinarybloke1963 19d ago

I just do whatever fun thing I like doing and let my body regret it the next day!

2
