Hey Joyce, I had to look up the word "recumbent". Having trouble with motivation... I get it. Want some of my tricks? I remember the feeling of strength. It was glorious. Those were the days...young, running. I used to strut. Have you ever strut? Nothing is better. If you can remember it...if you can imagine feeling…

Dear Kris, My sister is seven years older than her husband. It is working out fine. Married thirty years. Of course, my sister is special. You know...maybe you're special. Could be... You know, not all men are idiots...some of them really love a woman. I'm sure he has thought about whether he can accept your aging. He must…

Hi Connie, I play the piano. Good for the soul. I used to volunteer a lot. But I'm a professional player. Used to play in night clubs. Now, I play classical music. I have just "finished" the first Arabesque by Debusey, and a movie sound trac piece, called Dawn, that was featured in Pride and Predudice (Kyra Knightly). I…

Dear Miriam, One of the girls had some experience and she told me that my friend with Lupis would let me know if I could do something. It is hard to sit on my hands when there are dishes to be done and a dog to be walked and vacuuming and shopping, etc. and the woman is lying on the couch, trying to gather strength to get…

Hey Beth in WNY, I just want to say that my parents are like that (well, Mom, now that Daddy has passed). The youngsters can't take it. How can you expect a visit when you make the visit so unpleasant. Mama expects regular visits so that she can find fault. It's her job, you know. Anyway, you're not alone. Just want you to…

Mirium with cats, Ahhh...you appear to have first hand knowledge. I sense wisdom in your language. I get the impression that you have "been there" with support for people who are ill. Do you have experience with Lupis? My daughter's future mother in law is taking the weekend to rest. My mother tells me not to bother her.…

Michele, I also long for change. I do the stationary bike, ballet stretches, chin-ups, elliptical trainer, ballet stretch, chin ups, stationary bike....it gets boring. When I was young....ahhhh, those were the days...I would run along the beach in Santa Monica. Ran five miles every day... that never got old. Ahhh...now it…

Miriamwithcats and Joyce, Been a professional piano player most of my life. Wanted to leave the night club scene. Studied engineering. I'm 57. Graduated with honors but with no experience, I can't get an interview. Finally went back to playing the piano but this time I'm working the nursing home circuit. They love my…

Dear Michele, How nice to be able to talk about the benefits of the chin up machine. I was so surprised when it worked my abs. I wanted to tell people about it. You work out a lot, don't you? I'm at the gym every day now. I miss the feeling of power and strength that gave me such confidence when I was young. I'm getting…

Hey Rebamae, I'm not sure how to join. I just started talking. The others noticed me and sent acknowledgement. You'll like it here. Welcome Mame

Dear Miriamwithcats, What you say about skin folds is true. I understand your use of gentle language and I believe that you have witnessed skin folds that deteriorate beyond fungal infection. Although, positive thoughts drive us better than fear, I feel compelled to mention (just once) that skin folds are alarming. I…

That happened to me. My girlfriend said"that's normal. You have to comes to terms with it. Your body is adjusting to the new life style. Wait for it" Today, I finally dropped two pounds. I was begining to believe it would never happen.

Took off five pounds in June and stayed there right through July. Can't up the excersise- already doing forty minutes every single day (got the…
