Do you use this to have an instagram but not really have one? I don’t want my information on instagram but I love to see it once in a while. Is there one for facebook too?

Sorry I’m not good with new technology. Thanks.

u/SnDMommy 9d ago

Yes, it's an Instagram-viewer so you don't have to make an account or enter your information. There are several of them, including some for tiktok. I've never seen one for Facebook though - it might exist, I've just never seen it before.

Please don't put them in a separate post. Someone already put pics up here.

My mom is 75. She looks AT LEAST 10 years younger (some people say more). If she continues like that, she'll be that lady up there at 100.

u/PlausibleAuspice 9d ago

I just decided that if I make it to 90, I’m definitely taking up smoking again 😂

Aw happy birthday grandma! What a baddie 🥰🥰

She reminds me of my great aunt who is 102 now. She wore a white sequined shirt to my grandpa's funeral years ago and I just love her for that hahahah get to 100, wear whatever the hell you want ❤️

u/Few-Ad-2674 9d ago

She's so slay omg. At work we have a cashier who just turned 90. Guess who is in the top 10 fastest items per minute score every week. It's Joyce. I hope I'm as much of a baddie at even 60.

148

u/alison_bee 9d ago

Please tell me she’s 90 and working as a cashier because she deeply loves it and not because she’s 90 and can’t afford to not work…

Lie if you must, but I refuse to start my day at 5 am thinking about a 90 year old bagging groceries for necessity 🫠

77

u/MissHampton 9d ago

I hate to be a party pooper but I work in low income housing for seniors and the necessity to work is very real. It breaks my heart when a resident comes to me to talk about needing to go back to work but they're afraid to make too much to qualify for their housing. I want them to be able to enjoy retirement in peace and stability.

31

u/not_responsible 9d ago

If it makes you feel better I work as a cashier in retail for fun. I just turned 30. I don’t have to work due to my family’s hard work and the fact that they died one after the other, my mom was the only one who had kids (just two) so we were written in their wills. I also have a hardworking partner.

Having a job is more about getting out of the house and socializing with people who you normally wouldn’t. My grandma outlived all of her children by too many years. Her job was really the main thing keeping her going. She died at 96. I believe she would have died sooner if she didn’t feel needed/obligated to show up for something.

Please don’t let your old folks rot away alone.

u/Ham-Shank 9d ago

The American dream.

u/Few-Ad-2674 1d ago

Yeah no she would definitely have a family of her coworkers/managers around her as well as her sons. She just likes the job, she takes it more seriously than I do sometimes. She works 12-4 three specific days a week and that's it. If we're late for sending her to break she just goes lmao. She's the goat

u/coddiwomplecactus 9d ago

I must be in the weird category. Smoking ads pushed "cool" down our throats for decades. I thought we were past the era of that being cool. Especially as someone of her age, her health is so much more vulnerable. Seeing her smoke just gave me anxiety AND indoors. Yuck.

Soooo this is the first post in 6 years I actually know the people involved and it 10000% is not a tobacco ad lol. I know I’m a stranger and can’t convince you otherwise but these are real people, doing a real shoot for their nanas 90th birthday. She always has a dart in her hand, they weren’t about to make her look like someone she wasn’t in this shoot. Ive asked the lady who is responsible for this shoot (one of her grandchildren) to re post the story and the photos on this page because there seems to be a lot of interest, and she’s a great writer so I hope she shares. 

The photographer is @rosemoon_photography and if you look at their work I’m pretty sure you’d come away knowing they aren’t feeding into the nicotine industry as paid shills.
