I feel like, "You're going to get scurvy!" is your version of, "You'll shoot your eye out, kid!"

My grandma and grandpa ran a grocery store while raising four girls (the two youngest being twins) during the Great Depression. Oh the things I found in her canning cellar because she resused them again and again. Not to mention all the containers of Cool Whip in the fridge that were not Cool Whip...

I reuse foil and wash out ziplock freezer bags and my spouse laughs at me (or gets very annoyed and throws away all my loose piles). But I too throw away lots of fruit 🤣🤣

Ohhhhhh, I feel you! I have been living these moments of "Fuck" more often as the days speed toward my 60th bday.

The hardest one for me is now often being the oldest one in the room when joining a group for yoga or other indoor exercise...ugh...I remember with fondness the day when I was about 24 and everyone in the room shared about what they were doing the year I was born: "I was in high school" , "spending my last year at home" or my personal favorite, "probably using an old fashion can opener to pop a triangular drinking hole in a can of pineapple juice."
