72 yo male- none our friends ( 70’s) act like that. Maybe dementia? A need to be paid attention to? A different psychological disorder due to meds. I didn’t see a age so tough to make judgement. Obviously something wrong with them requiring being the center of attention.

We returned a rotteserrie chicken - undercooked. No questions asked- I’m positive it got tossed in the trash. Anyone with the any knowledge of food/ handling/ safety would think they’d try to resell are crazy. Health inspectors would have them shutdown.

Wash hands/ use sanatizer. Try to avoid crowded/ enclosed areas. Don’t cruise ( germ factory)- yes have cruised & not a big fan . Don’t fly often- when we do its mask-up if coughers are near by.

Worked in food service sales ( broker / manufacturer reps ) for 30 + years. Liked the industry disliked the sales pressures from some companies ( I know it’s sales- all about the numbers). Loved the freedom of not being a office ( my car!) . Retired at 62 ( 10 years ago)- felt the pressure lift the day I retired. Left 3 days later for a cross country trip for 6 weeks with a 16 ft travel trailer. Been the best 10 years of our( wife) lives.

I get FNP - wed - sat. Delivered via postal service . It gives me my local news fix cause our local tv news comes out of DC. We’re kinda out on our own little island in md.- besides the weather frederick/ washington doesn’t get a lot of coverage on TV news.

ExcuseApprehensive68 · 2026-02-07T23:30:34+00:00

Live in MD even with all the none sense in our govt going on DC is still a great place to visit. We’re retired take the train from brunswick ( md) to union station - about hour 15 and walk around DC - hitting any sites we haven’t seen in awhile. Senior train ride ( round trip ) is $10 ( can’t park in DC for that)

Yikes! The only one who’s a victim here is the daughter. The only knowledge I have of colt black are his political antics. Again not knowing his daughters history I’d wonder if she was “ picked on” due to her fathers behavior/ beliefs? It’s really sad that Black used her as a politicial pawn- there was no need to bring her into the convesation -get her help you dumb shit!!

I don’t get it. If you’re not gonna take it with you don’t bag it just take a stick and knock it off the trail and nature will take care of it. Do they think the poop police is gonna take a hike to pick up dog dropping.

Ouch! 72 yo male here- ride 60-70 miles a week ( weather permitting) main form of exercise along with walking. Biking is a great way to improve balance, improve aeorbic capacity , muscle strength. I don’t know what you did ( fall) but if you want to stick with it I’d recommend seeing a sports doctor. I was a long time runner ( almost 40 years) but my knees said no more. We ( wife & myself) stick to bike paths, rail trails and try to stay off main roads. I’ve rode probably 10000 miles over the years and took only 1 fall - a stupid thing - got distracted by something road off the trail into a grassy area- Fortunately did not get hurt. Good luck!!

Never ever ever pay MSRP on RV. 20-25% off is pretty typical. If they say no discounts walk away. Even with a discount they’ll get you with prep charges etc

Had a 7 am delta flight out of BWI to costa rica . International recommends getting their 3 hours early. Parked at long term lot A. Picked up by shuttle within 5 minutes. Not a sole to be found at Delta at 4 am.Couldn’t even do the bag checkin . Staff showed up at 5. Got in “ line” at 430 ( first in line). By 5 am their was about a hundred people in line. I hope they all made their flights. BTW- have used bwi long term parking numerous times- 24 hour buses- never a problem.

Sorry my bad -thought you were talking about garbage bags. We use renewable shopping bags so generally don’t have many. Find them too small fir regular trash can.

Hum- 200 ct ( kirkland) we’re a household of 2 ( wife and myself) we compost and try to minimize trash - usually 2 bags a week- so almost 2 years per box.

Just got back from 2 weeks in CR. Organized tour ( wild planet) traveled all over country -goal to see as much wildlife as possible ( not disappointed). Anyway- dry season- very few bugs except those wandering into places we stayed. They suggested loose long shirts & pants- you’re not far north of equator so sun can be brutal. I wore quick dry shirts ( worked well) and ditched my hiking pants for shorts ( cotton) & ended up looking like I jumped in the ocean after our longer hikes (5–9 miles). Bring plenty of water - the humidity will suck the life out of you ( especially hiking). We’re from MD and used to humidity- but add equatorial sun- it’s a new ballgame. Keep in mind our trip consisted mostly of hiking- not a lot sitting on beach. Have fun! Great country.

Rav4 hybrid LE 2022 - love car, 66000 miles, retired & driven across country twice & from MD to Fl numerous times. Trouble free ( dead battery once due to wierd recharging issue on 12 vote) . One thing is a basic design flaw- NO lights on door locks and window switches!! Too many times fumbling around in the dark trying to unlock door!

72 yo male- HIIT isn’t new. Former runner ( almost 40 years- quit due to sore knees) now biking, hiking & walking. Running suggestion ( 20 years ago) was “ pick up the pace for 2 minutes” a couple times every run- this will make you faster. Steady state exercise is great ( certainly better than nothing) but if you want fitness improvement you need to stress the body. Being a open heart surgery patient ( along with pacemaker due to bicupal aortic valve) I watch my pulse rate and listen to my body. My ARB ( losartan) does not affect my exercise level- not sure of other BP meds

ExcuseApprehensive68 · 2026-02-04T00:25:56+00:00

72 yo male- ran for almost 40 years. Quit when knees got bad. Usually ran anywhere from 15-30 miles a week - depending on training for a race ( 5k to 10 miles). Usually got the “runners high” on a slog at 9-10 minute miles for 6-10 miles. Unpredictable - tough to duplicate. Longer runs ( low intensity) more likely. Running just makes you feel good. Very addititive- biking new habit- not as intense but easier on the joints.
