You obviously didn't understand the question.

I think she did and she gave a pretty good reply.

There isn't a twenty-something alive that has the life experience of a sixty year old.

You may have the stress; aches and pain but not the life experience.

I don't know anyone who would survive an hour in my shoes, much less lived my life the last 29 years.

What if you're 29 but have the life experience of a 60 year old, where do you post?

You wait until you are 60 then look back all those years to when you were 29 and say to yourself, "I didn't know half of what I thought I knew."

I'm talking about life experience. My life experience is very well beyond 29, so hop off.

The things you went through dont make you age it just makes you wiser then another person who never delt with the same problems you had.

You never had to experience slavery, you never had to experience the feeling of not being able to vote because you are women... so on and so fourth

I bet you couldn't walk in the shoes of a holocaust survivor, I know I can not

I don't know anyone who would survive an hour in my shoes, much less lived my life the last 29 years.

I can't think of anyone I know with the life experience of someone in their 60s (and I know many) who would respond like that.

Life experience does make a hugh difference. Only those who have lived a sheltered life would say it didn't. Some are way beyound their years. You never know what someone has had to face and deal with, Some 20yr olds have had to grow up very fast. I myself was married off at 15 and had my first child at 17, and by the time I was 21 I found myself with 3 children divorced. Supporting them on my own(no welfare, no chld supp) working and going to school so trust me when I say I was way beyond my young years. Remember, you can't judge a book by it's cover.

Yup this is what a 60 yr old acts likes. Imagine all the old(er) people in the world giving the finger and texting:thumbup: lol

Im sorry if you feel offended but you cant say you are 60 yrs old in the mind but say teenager things

Some people did not agree with me on my views (like yourself) but i didnt say f.u bye so maybe if I use your same logic then well...... guess what i have more experience and maturity then a 29 yr old like yourself :thumbup:

But I do not agree with that logic so i guess im stuck being 23:blink:

:tt1:

Middle finger you and good bye.

Why do ya'll keep saying that? Ya'll are taking it out of context. I would think you could figure it out.

I have no problem figuring it out. I too was married at the age of 15 and had a baby at 17. The problem is the arrogance.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
