WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR NOVEMBER 2020

Feel better today. Yesterday all my long-term stressors came up to the surface. Glad my friend was there to listen. Getting it out helped me see that I can’t change others, only me.

Gotta get moving!

We also had Brylcreme instead of Butch Wax. There were a lot of American influences in the UK because of all the GIs that we’re stationed here during WW2. Lots of small airfields in N Ireland were used for reconnaissance.

I remember the long paper bus tickets that you rolled up, put in your mouth and pretended to smoke.

Rebecca, so glad to hear that all went well with the travelling. You're right, getting up at 4 a.m. is only acceptable if you have to pee and can go right back to bed! lol
Tracey, I have only resisted the "wants" for two days now, we will see how it goes.......
Debbie, my hubby used to come home with all kinds of junk too, we used to live close to a corner store and he used to smoke. So he'd wander to the store for smokes and come back with chocolate bars for both of us. And smokes, of course. Then he had a heart attack and hasn't smoked since. He has also since retired and we have gone down to just one vehicle, so if I'm at work, he has no way of getting anywhere and we live much further from the corner store now! I do buy treats for both of us, so he's not that hard done by. He also does not need to lose weight, which is annoying to say the least!

My husband is semi retired but went back to work. He worked for 35yrs before retiring from Safeway(grocery store) and they asked him to come back part time and has done that for almost 5 yrs. He picks up stuff there or just going out- the man LOVES to shop for anything. We have five vehicles between the three of us so he drives all the time. His store is just 5min drive at most. He says he knows he should loose about 20lbs(I think if he lost 40 he would be good)- not sure exactly what he weighs, he won't say, but I know that when I try to give him a hug from behind, I can barely touch my fingers in the front.
I will continue to cook healthier when I can and make little changes that he doesn't notice(like mixing half cauliflower and half white rice for his fried rice- neither son or husband even realized it.

Debbie - I am the junk food, take out person more than hubby. He goes along with pretty much whatever I do and very rarely steps into a store to get anything. The most he will do is suggest burgers every couple of weeks, it used to be almost every couple of days, and he'll suggest pizza now every couple of weeks. I've very proud of him. He won't walk with me though, we walk at different paces and really enjoy our alone time when we do it.


My ride will be here momentarily, have a great day everyone

My husband, though semi retired is always in the grocery store- He works in one and it seems the only thing we do together is shop. He doesn't like staying home. Drove him crazy when we were on "Shelter at home"- only thing he could do was go to work, and that was with a letter from work to show the police if he got pulled over(son had to have one too, he works at another grocery store). He is out shopping, having lunch with a friend, taking his mom out or doing her errands.
He is asleep now(works graveyard, came in at 7:30- I am off but he woke me up and couldn't really get back to sleep) but when he wakes up, I am sure he will want to go back to his store, pick up his pay check, take it over to the band and then go shopping. Hobby Lobby is one place he was talking about but I am sure there will be at least one grocery store to stop at too-always is, even though we don't NEED anything- freezer is full, pantry is full, fridge is pretty full but not full of what he wants.

Today has been a long day.. hopefully I can sleep well.tonight.. not easy on a twin bed with a dog and uncomfortable mattress..
Will make dinner for Faith and give her her meds and she will be sleeping.

Those men really closely resemble the men in your family!

Sue How special to have your mom at 96 and take her for hair styling.

Rebecca I love old photos and how serious they had to look. It was taboo to smile for a photo back in those days.

Allie I would take an air mattress with me before I tried to sleep on an uncomfortable mattress. I can't sleep away from my bed. The 3 days I was in for cancer surgery, I didn't sleep for the first 30 hours and then spotty until I got home.
