  • We are in the path of the total eclipse, not far from Niagara Falls, Ontario. Although a little cloudy at the beginning, we got to see the full eclipse. It was really something to see. A little cold out on the back deck, we sat in our winter coats on our lawn chairs. We all had been given the appropriate glasses to protect…

  • I absolutely relate to this as I am 76 and do not recognize the person in the mirror. I am not embarrassed, but just can't believe how quickly the physical changes happened. It still drives me crazy when younger people call me “ dear”. That is respectful, I know, but it just reminds me of my age. Even my doctor refers to…

This weight didn't come on overnight, so I…

  • Hi everyone. I have been yo yo ing for my whole life. Started when I was 13 and continue now that I am 76. Eight years ago, I lost 94 lbs on WW, then quit when I hit my goal weight. Slowly, it came creeping back. A year ago I had a hip replacement and decided that it was time to get back on the wagon. Unfortunately, the…
