Mom out sugar on cottage cheese, butter on rice. We also got mock chicken legs from the local butcher, which were super cheap protein for us.

I've been smoking since 1987. I can't take NSAIDS, so i spent months researching cannabis before getting my medical card in 2012. No pain, no anxiety, no sleep issues.

I'm working 4 jobs right now to have savings. I lost everything in the pandemic, so I'm just trying to work as much as I can, while I can. I'm 55 and can't wait to retire.

I've been a consumer since 1987, and worked in the industry for 13 years. No way would I vape. I am still a flower grrl, with edibles at night.

Discounts on travel, TV apps, and I get my dental through there. Plus, loads of great info on staying healthy as we age. I love the monthly magazine.

At 55 (F), I feel way better than I did 22 years ago (I'm celebrating 22 years of sobriety from alcohol today!). But, I also embrace my age: It's 5:30 on Saturday night and I'm already in bed doing crossword puzzles and bong hits. I had dish duty at work today, and my body is shot. I joined AARP as soon as I turned 50, and look for 55+ discounts. No shame for me aging. I'm happy I made it this far!

Glad you got some tips! The only brand I can wear from those days is Doc Martens. My Vans are in the closet, but I'd need some insoles to wear them again. My body just can't take it.

I have had my SleepEZ latex mattress since 2011. I replaced the topper in 2021. I also have a body pillow to give my arm support. I got a Coop pillow a few weeks ago, and my neck stiffness has subsided. There are a lot of great tips in here. Hope you get some relief soon.

I said “Milk, milk, lemonade” to my teenagers, and they just stared at me… blankly. Have I failed them, or has society failed our children as a whole? Discuss.

Pretty good! I buy bamboo sheets, which are so comfortable and cooling. I just got a Coop pillow, and love the support. I also have a body pillow. I have no trouble falling asleep. The challenge is the cat at 3am.

I didn't know people still did this until last Spring. One house on my block was covered. It was probably prom time when it happened. It definitely took me back!

AI uses too much water for me to gett behind it right now. I've been a marketer and social media manager for 20 years, and I see people using it a ton to not pay people who do what I do. It doesn't even look nice! I have a client who wanted ChatGPT blogs written, but that's not good for a website and Google, and I'm a writer, so I told him I refuse to use it. I have friends using ChatGPT for therapy! It tells you what you want to hear without accountability. It's called AI slop for a reason.

A pipe bomb went off in my HS and I've had tinnitus in my right ear ever since. Most times I don't register it, like when I'm busy at work. But, it's always there. Scrolling for tips.

I agree! I had some friends who were always late, by a half hour or more. Maddening and disrespectful. One acted like the party didn't start until she got there.

I think it's more about the task, because I didn't grow up in the Midwest. For someone coming to my home, I wouldn't expect them to be early without notice.
