Years ago, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and my wonderful doctor suggested I try Cymbalta, which is used to treat both fibro and depression. I was a bit hesitant at first...."Waaah, you think I'm losing it and just want me to go on an antidepressant!" He very nicely informed me that he was NOT prescribing it for…

Eat and enjoy!

Stale Peeps and stale Cheetos. When I buy them, I open the packages and hide them away until they get perfectly stale. Do not like fresh Peeps at all...too soft and mushy. They have to be hard and chewy. Had some great stale Cheetos this summer...they went stale pretty quickly with the heat and humidity....ALTHOUGH, I find…

Yuck. Candy Corn Flavored Marshmallows.

I was a bit concerned with my low calorie intake, which is generally under 1200 calories, so I printed out my food log and showed it to my doctor. (I just turned 64 last month and I am very active.) He said, and I quote, "Your metabolism changes as you age, as do your caloric needs, and all things considered, you eat very…

Thank you, Lisa 1971! I made up my mind several years ago that I would not be the old granny who gets her hair done every week the exact same way, lives in polyester pantsuits and big floral muumuus, and does crafts. (I couldn't craft to save my *kitten*!) Nope, I'm a runner. I still rock my skinny jeans and 5" heels, I…

"Hmmm - I always thought is was "negative Nancy's"... LOL! I had a HORRIBLE Aunt Nellie and she deserves every negative in the book! A truly dreadful woman! :bigsmile:

Awww geez, what a bunch of Negative Nellies! First of all, congratulations, and best of luck to you! My daughter was born when I was 17 and I don't regret a single second of it. I did marry her dad, but we divorced 6 years later. My kidlet is now 46 and has been married for 25 years, blessing me with two wonderful…

Age is just a number. At the age of 50, 51, 52, and 53, I left 20 somethings eating my dust during weight lifting competitions. Yep, I won 4 championship titles in a row. As for 33, dang, I have shoes older than that! My youngest KID is 13 years OLDER than that! I'm almost 64 and healthier than I was at the tender age of…

Stay within your calorie count and enjoy!

I like the simplicity of #1. #2 might be a bit busy with boots. You will look great in either dress! Ask yourself, can I wear this dress again for another occasion? Would I want to? If so, go for the more classic #1. Apparently, you are required to wear the cowgirl boots in the wedding to go with the 'theme'? Just my…

My husband used to give up booze and sweets religiously for Lent, and in the process, he would always lose 30+ pounds. After you reach a certain age, at least in Catholicism, you are exempt from having to 'give up' anything. Needless to say, the hubs no longer loses those 30 pounds, but he does cut down and drops at least…

Been called a lot of things, but "lady" isn't one of them. Fart on! :bigsmile:

Absolutely! You are bending, twisting, lifting heavy objects. Why not count it as an exercise? However, if you are munching on a donut while pushing the vacuum, that might be a bit much. :bigsmile:

Back in the day when I worked in a busy ER, my diet consisted of three things: Sara Lee Coffee Cake, Pepsi, and black coffee...that's when I found the time to grab a bite in the break room during a long 18 hour shift. We ALL ate that way, doctors, nurses, PA's, and oddly enough, we were all very thin. Too thin, in many…

Definitely TJ Maxx and Walmart. Inexpensive and last forever. I also have some workout pants from Target that are at least 20 years old and they still look good. Our local Goodwill gets brand new "off season" clothes from Target with original tags still attached and I've bought some great workout clothes for a buck.

He may not be a doorman, but he's a total asshat and a rude one at that! Maybe he 'did' have someplace to be, but what? He couldn't spare five seconds of his precious time to be courteous? Bah.

Abuse, both physical and emotional. Pathological lying. Drinking to excess and becoming a 'mean drunk.' Being controlling and expecting me to be subservient. That's a "hit the road, asshat!" situation. Doing drugs. All of the other nasty stuff mentioned in this thread.

"Unmanly" to love and eat salads? Oh, hell to the no! My husband is a huge salad lover as well, but I have to laugh at him when it comes to eating bread. He's become totally anti-bread because it's 'fattening.' He pops a couple of beers instead and then wonders why he isn't losing weight. Hello? Why do you think it's…

Turkey. No way, no how, never, ever, forever. I'll cook it for the gobblers, but it will never be in MY digestive system. Only thing I really like are the sweet potatoes and the dressing my sister makes.

Oh my, I used to have the same problem and I wish I still did. :brokenheart: Okay, does he like to read? How about a Kindle and a gift card from amazon.com? (You said he has an iPad, but the Kindle is excellent!) Definitely the cashews. What are his favorite television programs? Most networks have online gift stores which…

I'm happy pretty much every day. Just waking up to live another day is reason to celebrate! I'm happy I did my workout this morning, happy that I can have pizza for dinner tonight, happy that I have lots of books to read on my Kindle, happy that I have 5 wonderful cats, happy that my Christmas shopping is done, happy that…

Removed a fecal impaction from a patient who hadn't pooped for a week. Oh wait, pushing an old woman's uterus back into place after it had literally fallen out. She'd had the problem for 20 years but refused to get a hysterectomy for fear she would be "less of a woman." (Her words.) And then there was the gent who had to…

Ppppfffttt! Well, if it's not okay, I'm in serious trouble.:bigsmile: For the record, my dad ate corn flakes and drank strong coffee with milk and sugar for breakfast every single morning for well over 70 years and he was in great shape. He NEVER varied from that breakfast, even when we went on vacation and ate breakfast…

Nearest McDonald's was 20 miles away from where I live. There wasn't a McD's on every corner like there is now. We were active and spent a lot of time outdoors doing physical things. We didn't sit around all day behind a computer keyboard, we had to get up to answer the telephone, and some of us had to actually get up to…
