It was very hard- finally when I was 34 I started seeing a psychiatrist and after a year (to judge if it was a temporary thing) he put me on medication. It took several tries to find something that worked. Completely turned my life around.

Fast forward my first doctor passed away from pancreatic cancer. Very hard for me but, much worse for his family. Then saw his partner - he died of complications from his treatment for another form of cancer. Hope I didn't jinx them.

I just turned 72- never thought I'd last this long but, I'm enjoying it. Backyard Chickens is a major reason why. So many great folks on here and the opportunity to be friends with many of them. I love this place. Plus learned how to use a computer and all that goes with it, on line shopping - whoopee!!

BTW 40,50,60, 70 not really any difference from one to another. I have silver/white hair and love it. I've been able to ride the free senior/disabled bus in our township, for 12 years now . Disabled folks can be any age and still ride the bus.

We have women 80's, 90's and even a couple 100. yrs. old. Took a while for them to accept the "kid," but, learned about that kinda stuff in high school. We all get along well.
 
What an amazing life! And your community sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing your story :) I'm very grateful.

In Australia there's a pervasive drinking culture and even the quiet youngsters who rarely leave the house have adventures with alcohol and probably mild drugs. I had my first taste at 7 (dad gave me a sip of his beer) and it was so unpleasant, my next taste was at 15. Then I had a couple of decades of social drinking. These days, I'm almost T-total, with maybe one glass, two at the most if I'm socialising, which is once or twice a month.

One of my best mates grew up with a dependent mother, so she spent her youth as a carer and never had a going out and partying phase, yet she has her drinking stories from her late teens, early 20s, just like everyone else.

Maybe things are different for today's young adults but those I know personally seem to socialise much as we used to, some quietly and others loudly.
 
Later this morning -the bus takes us to a shopping open mall and me and the girls, Arline & Linda, take over a table at Sam's club for the $ 1.64(incl.tax) hot dog and 30 oz.pop combo.
They have now added a 50 cent frozen yogurt in a little waffle bowl. We are living large in the neighborhood.
Doesn't really matter where you are or what you eat, as long as you have your friends around you. I've never cared for the taste of adult drinks, and am allergic to cigarette smoke - so I don't partake.
 
Gosh didn't realize it was the movie thread. Oh well so what?

Haven't seen any movies lately BUT, marathoned the third season of 'STRANGER THINGS," (Netflix) alone, at night. I was okay and didn't need my light on all night. Slept like a baby.

:thumbsup:pop I hope you had some popcorn!
 
Which QE cast do you like better?
I thought the "old school" cast was a bit more direct and useful in their ministerings, but I find Jonathan (the current grooming guy) fascinating as he's either extremely adorable or extremely annoying.
Cannot get behind the "half-untucked" shirt fashion.
 
HUNTER KILLER

Normally I shun military movies (mainly forced to watch with DH who's a buff, so I am ensured a pre-bedtime nap as they don't hold my interest for long) and especially submarine movies. However, we rented (via Redbox) "Hunter Killer" and I was surprised at how engaging it was.
It's actually three movies in one as part is set in a submarine (headed by Gerard Butler and guested by Michael Nyqvist), part set in a war room (Gary Oldman), and part is a Navy SEAL extraction adventure on foreign soil. All the decision-making twists were riveting and interesting how they all intertwined. Kind of set more as a thriller than a war film. It was well-acted, except I found Gary Oldman's performance a tad over the top and, ergo, the weakest link, which is surprising as he's known for solid renderings. And, for a war movie, a subtle message of cooperation amongst warring nations is not lost on the audience.

(Note: A lot of the film was done green screen, but you wouldn't know it unless you watched the bonus footage.)
