    Allie - don't fall for the too old to get hired baloney.You're in a good profession where experience counts. And I'm guessing that your caring and compassion comes through to the patients. If I can get a job at 70 you can do it too! You just need to go to interviews with your head held high and show that you are confident in what you do. I think it's a good plan to go and see your GP too. <3

    Karen - Olivia looks so much better and looks like she's gaining weight. She seems so alert! I'm so glad you were able to go and hold her and comfort your daughter. :)<3:)

    Happy March everyone.
    Not sure where February went..but was a fast moving month.
    Have been skimming the last couple pages.Love the baby pics & good news from a lot of posters.

    CHARLEEN,
    your
    post caused me to tear up.
    How wonderful! The elderly often get the short end of the stick & you made a lovely difference.
    Thank you.

    A local TV station did a short story on elder abuse & it breaks your heart.Don't know how abusers live with their selves.So sad that children/ Grandkids lead the parade to steal elders money/ property.Well....hopefully,what goes around comes around.
    Enough of that.

    Had a check up last wk & lost 2 pads.I'm surely the slowest loser on here,but just happy it wasn't a 2pd gain.

    Someone is off all med's. Perfect NSV....how great is that.Congrats to you!

    Weather has been weird.Set new records last wk....80*one day......this wk is stormy,rainy & cold wind.
    Hate that cold wind.

    Ordered a new rain jacket with a hood......never liked a hood,but age & crazy weather is a game changer & no umbrella needed will work for me.Hate umbrellas!

    How do you good cooks keep fried ground turkey from being so dry?DH likes meat in pasta dishes.Might have to stay with ground beef.

    Sorry to be so long winded.Sweet thoughts for lovely Olivia & family.Good thoughts for all who need them.Missing Carol in NC.
    Today's dinner will be a dish my Mother made,with simmered roast beef & a lot of veggies .Mine will use my home made beef broth,but no meat.Not DHs fav,but that's his problem.

    Katla thank you. Can't remember the history behind Shrove Tuesday. We actually have pancakes quite often so it was not really a special day

    hi everyone. I am 69 and up to a few years ago was moderately fit for my age ( did half marathon). In the last 3 years life just got too busy and I did not take care of myself. Lots of sitting down working, little to no gym and stopped jogging. Weight increased like mad.
    In the last few weeks I have had a wake up call. I had flu plus bad cough then developed pneumonia. I spent most of 2 weeks in bed. I started antibiotics then after 2 days came up in allergic response ( never been allergic to penicillin before). New antibiotics started and I am beginning to feel better. I am getting up and dressed each day, which seems a major achievement in itself.
    Is there anyone out there who is starting a new get fit campaign ( I am starting from a very low level) plus I need to lose about 30 pounds. All help, support and motivation will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi AnnieOldie We start a new thread for each month because we are a large, long winded it seems, group of ladies.

    It seems we don't have a new thread for April today. I hope Barbie is okay and there are no emergencies at her house. :heart:
