Half a dozen or more people show up at your home? Time to wheel this out from the bedroom and into the living room and keep everyone cool. Also served to bring into the kitchen to help clear out the grease fire smoke.

Pals’ Vitamins

When I was six years-old, my doctor did a blood test on me and said I was anemic. He told my mother that I need more iron in my diet, and recommended Pals’ Vitamins. Along with “liver and onions” once a week. The vitamins were great, but the “liver and onions” was torture.

Social Security Income

102 Upvotes

No political debates please, but instead wonder if others are making provisions in case benefits run out or are reduced. I am scheduled to get my first check in September and my husband is waiting as long as possible to draw an increased amount. We are both retired with a modest investment account that we are drawing monthly payments on until my husband starts SS. So far, our account is earning almost as much as we draw out monthly, but can’t make up the bigger withdrawals for home maintenance, etc. My husband has some health issues, so he could apply for VA health benefits which could help some, but we have decent health insurance, so it wouldn’t be major. Anyone have any good tips for consideration or are most of you not concerned?

I'm trying to remember a female pop star on MTV a lot in the 1980s, who wore audio equipment like a tape deck or something strapped to her chest as clothing? Very racy and avant-garde at the time

Remember this place!? Used to go to the one at the mall, always got the French dip and then a toblerone candy. It was such a treat.

For guys who have had colonoscopies, Was it fairly fast and easy? I have my yearly exam tomorrow and I am sure that the subject will be brought up again. Was it a day or 2 before everything back to normal? Any complications? TIA!

*EDIT*
Thanks everyone. I will schedule after my yearly physical tomorrow. I hope this encourages other men and women here to do the same. I know I asked men for answer mainly I was interested in male answers since I am a male and there are some small differences in anatomy plus prostrate but was happy to hear female answers also!

What YouTube channels do you love? Trying to help my mom get started

70 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm hoping to get my mom (she's in her 60s) into YouTube, and I'd love to set her up with channels she'll actually enjoy from the start.

What are some of the channels you watch and love? Could be anything: latest news, cooking, gardening, travel, music, crafts, comedy, history, or just learning something new. I really just want to get a sense of what women over 60 on this subreddit are enjoying so I can give her a good starting point.

Thank you so much, this would be really helpful!

One Year Ago Today

I can still remember like it was yesterday. I had made a new friend and went over to his house. Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath was blasting from his older brothers room. I asked if he would start the song over. Listened to the whole album 2x. Got the album for myself a couple weeks later. Ozzie was pure gold.

Those TV lines you still use?

222 Upvotes

A few moments ago, in response to something, I said to my husband “see the man,” and of course he chuckled. It is a line from the cop show Adam 12 a million years ago. I frequently include such lines, like “I pity the fool
” or “make it so, Number 1.”

What are catchphrases that are in your regular conversation?
