I've spent nearly 63 years on this planet. My husband and I have been together for 22 years. I lived in Japan for 17 years, an experience that I treasure. I've lived a full life. I'm paying for it now, but it was worth the price!

Depression just makes you sad all the timeHey Pandas, What Is The Worst Fitness Advice You've Ever Gotten?
"Drink less water". I have several conditions that basically make my body think it needs to store as much water as possible. I'm a human equivalent of a sponge. I did the body composition analysis thing at a gym once and the trainer looked at it and went like: "dunno, maybe you should drink less water?". He was being serious. He was being dead serious. Luckily I know better than to follow such rubbish advice.Hey Pandas, What's An Unpopular Opinion You Have?
Cats belong inside. Regardless of how much they might not like it. They’re perma toddlers who aren’t capable of caring for themselves. And I’ve heard the argument that feral cats do it so it’s not bad. That’s a stupid argument. Feral cats still stay near humans, even if they hate them. They need us to be responsible and take care of them properly. Pets don’t belong outdoors. Wild animals aren’t pets and shouldn’t be treated as such either.Show All 37 Upvotes
