The 50-Plus Room - for

[Lilianna23]

Hi everyone! 50-something woman, and new to this thread. You all look like a pretty tight-knit bunch, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm not new to Lit, but I haven't been on in a while. I live in Delaware, USA, and celebrated today's gorgeous weather by heading out with my camera to get some foliage pictures. Hoping everyone saw or experienced something cool/wonderful/interesting today - or is about to do so this evening!

I love taking nature pictures! I bet your trees are gorgeous now!

Hello and welcome. Hope you have great experiences here.

I havent posted in this thread for a while. I don't feel old but the thread is 50 plus so I qualify. Today I went to my best friends house and played a new board game. We enjoyed catching up.

This cracked me up a little to see this today, because I bought a used truck this morning, and paid cash. So obviously, I agree.

You obviously are a very intelligent Lady! (grin)

 

[Dom70]

Yeah. It is paid off and 7 years old. I will drive til it dies and trucks if u take care of them can last forever.

Well done then!

 

[Dom70]

Yeah I get it. Be picky and look inside too. What are you looking for...make sure it matches up with what you want or you will be right back where you started. And for God's sake dont pick a girl or woman (there is a difference) who wants a ring on the finger or one or both of you will be miserable. I dont necessarily want to be married but I personally want companionship and a lover and a champion who puts me first once in a while. Look inside a person and find their heart. There are woman out there for you ..just have to find one

How about a Champion that puts you first ALL the time? You said what should be a winning combination there however...

Me being 57yo and no longer a drinker I decided to relax at home with my kids who ofc go hide in their rooms to play their Xbox and leaves me here on LIT!!

My Mrs who's still a young chicken being 12 years younger than me decided to go out with a few girlfriends for a girl's night out. I told her if she drinks a bit too much, rather than drive home " tipsy " to call me and I'll drive to pick her up because that's what food husbands do I'm simply listening to my old school music on my playlist on YouTube rn.

Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone!
A couple of your comments reminded me of a recent favorite from Ringo Starr, now 83 and still fabulous: "Nothing makes me feel old. In my head, I'm 27."

Had it out with a younger (53) sibling today. She has always been obnoxious and outspoken - a veritable know it all on any subject. I finally snapped and called her out in it.

I know I was right about her actions and intentions, but now I feel like an ass for stating the obvious. Am I a shit brother for finally mentioning it? Am I the asshole?

No, you're her brother.. you GET to call her out on her bullshit.. It's in the rule book I think.

Deep down, I know this is true. But I can't help thinking I'm the asshole. Yes, even after 50+ years of abuse, I can't help thinking I shouldn't have said it, or done so some other way. Argh!!

What's done is done now.

You'll stew over it a while and have this brilliant flash of the way you should have said it that maybe wasn't so harsh. Then go, ''yep, that's a fucking useless idea now". Shrug it off, fix yourself a cuppa joe/tea or what have you, sit down and contemplate the wonders of cat vids.

And all is right with the world again.....

No it sounds like you were limit and boundary setting with her. Dont avoid her. Keep on being her big brother. There is a reason she is acting like that. Low self esteem fear anxiety etc. Give her a shot to be better. If she doesn't start acting like she should may need to limit contact with her though. Some people have to be loved from afar because they will poison everything around them

 

[Btq97]

Temporally challenged.

more Enhanced than challenged no?

 

[Booboobear84]

I went dancing last night. I asked a young lady for a dance around 10pm and she said she was resting. I pointed out that I was three times her age and wasn’t tired. She took up the challenge. We ended up having a very fun dance. I couldn’t say I wasn’t tired if I asked another dancer after that.

I feel like as the older sibling it’s my job to call my little brother out.

It’s rare that it happens. He’s 11 years younger and when he was in college he definitely needed to be reminded he wasn’t there to party..

I don’t think you’re the asshole here. However it being this close to the holidays. It might be a little uncomfortable.

No. You're not the asshole! You're allowed to set boundaries and decide what you will/won't put up with. Family can push our buttons like no other. If you feel like you should apologize for HOW you said things, do so. But never apologize for stating your truth.

I've actually divorced one of my siblings. I feel no guilt for it. Better for my mental health to be no contact.

Hugs for you!
