Well, speaking for myself, I am defying. I refuse to be old and more importantly, be TREATED like I am old. Nope!

I have wanted to learn to dance for as long as I can remember. When I was a child I took some tap and ballet and enjoyed it, but we moved around too much to have any continuity in my instruction.

I have been going home and eating a sandwich for lunch instead of hitting the Bell or Mickey D's. It's farther to drive, but I like not spending $10 - $15 a day on lunch!

I disagree with your assessment. Many older people are really getting fed up with the state of this country. The traditional values that they hold very dear are being stripped away and they don't...

One time I bit into an incredibly hard apple and damaged my tooth. It was loose. I went to a "dentist" (well respected, highly recommended). After a BATTERY of xrays (not ONE OF WHICH HE EVEN...

Well, I don't think he would be open to anything like that. Unfortunately. He thinks he is always right and never wrong and gets very hostile and defensive if anyone implies that he is not perfect in...

They will send you a thousand emails and texts. Don't give them your "best" email address unless you want tons of junk. As far as texts, I would advise a google voice number. Just sayin.

I would compare dentists to time share salesmen but I don't want to insult time share salesmen.

Unfortunately, my teeth are in pretty bad shape because I cannot find a decent, HONEST dentist that...

In many ways I am in the same boat but only 20 years instead of 40.

I guess if i were "this lady" I would dry to look at my husband as though he were a child with down's syndrome or some other...

Thanks to all who responded.

I will take all recommendations under consideration.

For the most part, during the day, I can cope pretty well with having a miserable existence. I keep busy, work hard, try to think positive and express gratitude for having a business that is...

The court can order them to do it, but they cannot force them to use it. Where I live, they require a septic system to be put in. I did not want one but we put it in so we would comply and get an...

While I applaud your brilliant "can do" attitude and frugal approach, if you felt like you were throwing,your money away, you needed a different cleaner.

A good housekeeper will make,you thank...

Thank you for the input and the affirmation. It is really difficult to translate the complexity of this situation. I'm sure that I have bouts of depression from time to time. I deal with it and...

Yes, I do some of these things. He gets very resentful if I spend time with other people because my free time is so limited. He is of the opinion that I should be spending it with him. But I do...

He is 58 and I am 62 (a very young 62)

It seems so daunting to start over. There are pets, property, etc. It's exhausting just to even think about.

I have mentioned it.

He thinks he knows more than any counselor, of course. And also, counselors are a bunch of frustrated women libber man haters who don't know what they are talking about in...

When I met my Dh, 20 years ago he was just getting past a rather nasty divorce and was quite bitter about it. Apparently, he had never wanted kids but his ex-wife "oopsed" him in to two little ones...

Usually I don't take them routinely. If I feel yucky I will take some Vitamin C, echinecea and golden seal. If I am depressed I will take some B vitamins and some St. John's Wort. Lately I've been...

Thank your lucky stars. My husband used to "inspect" my dishes after I washed them. Finally, I got fed up with him rewashing them and he took to sneaking around after I went to bed to do it. Now...

Personally, I find that negativity is like a slow poison. It is very easy to see the downside sometimes and all too often I am sucked into negative thoughts. I find, however, that when I consciously...

I got to the "first time dad at 54" and it creeped me out so bad I had to stop reading. [[[shudder]]]]

It is very important to me to be in 100 percent control over my health care choices at all times. You cannot do that if you accept government money. They can threaten to "cut you off" if you do not...

No there are no drugs involved. I've always had dreams like this.

Medications just treat the symptoms. If you do not correct the underlying problem your pulmonary issues will continue to get worse over time and you will need more and stronger medications in order...
