I'm not the expert that @porwest is but I do try to save money where I can so I can spend it where I want. Except of course you all chastise me for shopping at Walgreens, which is uber expensive and I'm not really getting a...

Now Watching "The Bear" on Hulu

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (59) • United States 10h

Well I finished all the existing seasons of "Only Murders in the Building" yesterday and I was highly disappointed with Season 4. It was chaotic and over-the-top and had way too much going on. Instead of the usual 1 or 2...

How Much Vitamin D Do You Need?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (59) • United States 13h

Most of us end up taking a Vitamin D supplement as we get older. When it's not this blazing hot outside, hubby and I like to sit outside and soak up some sun for our mental and physical health. Doctors say that the benefits of...

Old People and Young People Disagree on When It Means To Work Hard

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (59) • United States 6 Jul

The young generation is tired of the older generation bragging about overwork like it's a badge of honor. My husband and I talk about our years working (we're now both retired) and how very often we would work 70-80 hours a week....

Why Has The News Been Silent About These Mass Shootings?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (59) • United States 6 Jul

Oh wait, they're in "blue" states or "blue" cities (meaning Democratically run) so the media doesn't want you to know that bad things happen there. They only make the headlines if it happens in a Red State (Republican). They've...

Using Speakerphone in Public

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (59) • United States 5 Jul

Another one of the things I read that the younger generation hates about the older generation is they say old people talk loudly on their speaker phones in public. Really? That's what I see young parents in their 30's doing!...

I'm reading articles about the differences between the generations and young people think people my age do a lot of stupid stuff. Like leave voicemail messages. Is that really an outdated thing to do? Come to think of it,...

When's The Last Time You Just Dropped By Somebody's Place Unannounced?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (59) • United States 5 Jul

When I was growing up, it was just routine to stop by somebody's house to visit them unannounced. Sometimes you'd bring cookies or a gift but often you just popped in for a short visit. But today's etiquette experts say that...

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (59) • United States 5 Jul

I think about this a lot. I try to maintain good records of which vaccines I've had and when so I don't get confused. My mother-in-law was about to get some twice because the pharmacist recommended them at her age and she'd...

We Had "The Talk" With The Mother In Law

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (59) • United States 5 Jul

It was definitely time to have "the talk" with the mother-in-law. Hubby let her ramble and rant and talk incessantly (and lie) before he started his spiel. He told her he loved her and that he was concerned about her. He told...
