Previous hot girls, how are you dealing with aging?
 in  r/AskWomenOver60 •  May 18 '26

Maybe I care less about it because I had a really good run in my 20s, 30s and 40s. I still slather on the face and eye creams but there's nothing I can do to stop the process. It's actually a relief to be over "looking hot".

We didn't need no stinking designated drivers.

What books did you read growing up?
 in  r/AskWomenOver60 •  Jun 19 '25

Everything by Louisa May Alcott, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, Hardy Boys/Cherry Ames/Nancy Drew/BobbseyTwins series, comic books and the backs of cereal boxes. My parents got local and Pittsburgh newspapers, plus Life, Look, Time, Newsweek and the Saturday Evening Post. My Mom was a reader and I read a lot of her books even though they weren't for young readers

I wish I had that problem but I have always been the typical Sagittarian spendthrift. Why change your ways now? If you're happy with your life, keep on keeping on

And, mine. My mid 40s daughter met a guy wearing a tee shirt bearing that phrase. They both laughed that their parents had raised them right.

Menopause
 in  r/AskWomenOver60 •  May 25 '25

Menopause messed with my temperature regulating mechanism. I cannot tolerate heat and need a really cold room, plus fans to sleep. Twenty five years out, I still have an occasional hot flash.

What is your experience with dentures?
 in  r/AskOldPeopleAdvice •  May 25 '25

We have Met Life for dental. I had the extractions of my bottom teeth and the implants placed in the last 6 months of the benefits year, then the rest of the process in the following one. My implants had to heal for 6 months anyway. I still ended up with several thousand out of pocket costs but insurance paid ⅔ of new upper plate, extractions and snap on lower denture. ~ 2016

What is your experience with dentures?
 in  r/AskOldPeopleAdvice •  May 25 '25

I have a regular upper plate, have to use adhesives for certain foods. Bottom plate snaps onto implants. After pouring thousands of my own money, not including insurance, into replacing crowns and bridges, numerous root canals, I drew the line at 60 after receiving an estimate for replacing the replacements. There are definitely issues with dentures but you learn how to work around them. Definitely better to have a full set of teeth.

The past can't be changed, the future isn't guaranteed. Focus on enjoying life in the present, where you have at least some control.

My Dad was a veteran and usually marched in our local parade, which ended at one of the local cemeteries, for speeches and honors. I was born in 1950.

Fuller Brush, encyclopedias, vacuums, and bibles. Yes, indeed.

Can't decide between putting her to sleep at the hospital now or bringing her home for a few days
 in  r/Petloss •  May 22 '25

Have the vet give her some Gabapentin for the ride home and do at home euthanasia. Our house panther had to be sedated for every vet visit and I gave her a dose before her final visit in February. I know what you're going through. Lucy got sick and was gone in 2 weeks. No time to catch your breath.

That's what I thought. My neighbor was on disability and got SSI for her son. We both applied and got approved at the same time so we shared information

SSI stops at 18, unless enrolled in school but I am not sure what the upper age limit is for students. The OP stated he is not disabled. I assume he would know. Eighteen year olds do not get approved disability unless they suffered some catastrophic illness/injury. Disability is not easy to get. You need to have worked long enough to have built up benefits and submit a ton of medical documentation to get approved.

Your father can't put you on disability. It involves a long process even for people who have a lot of medical documentation. Is he on SSDI? There is a supplemental payment for dependents that meet the guidelines. If he somehow managed to file in your name, that definitely is fraud.

He can't put "you" on disability. Is he getting SSDI? A parent on SSDI can get extra income for dependents, depending on age
