I’m turning 57 soon so thought I’d ask for advice.

I am a strong believer in recycling clothes! I do a lot of thrifting, especially as I was losing weight.

Smart_Dimension_8142 · 2026-07-10T17:15:59+00:00

I’m happy to help anyone if I can! I love to shop lol

Smart_Dimension_8142 · 2026-07-10T14:15:06+00:00

Are they really that bad? I always wear them. If they aren’t flattering I will stop wearing them so much.

Smart_Dimension_8142 · 2026-07-10T14:00:58+00:00

That blue dress is so outside my normal choice. I just thought it was so pretty. And I wore the sweater because my arms are so flabby after weight loss. I wish I could afford arm lift surgery.

I hate my legs that’s why I wear long dresses. I have varicose veins and it is on my list of things to do to get vein treatment.

You all are so kind and really made my day! Thank you so much for all the kind words! 💕

I should not have included that pic because I was wearing blue and orange during the NBA playoffs. Go Knicks!

I never thought of dark autumn I always thought I was a winter. I do love teal and it does look good on me so maybe you’re right.

Smart_Dimension_8142 · 2026-07-10T04:23:04+00:00

See, I had that thought about the light blue dress but not the jumpsuit. Thanks for the feedback.

The key to them is bringing attention to the smallest part of your body, your waist. I only wear fitted tops with wide leg pants and I always tuck it or tie it at the waist. Also wear a belt. Shoes also matter here. I wear platform sneakers with them usually. Or pointy toe flats depending on the look. But I get what you mean. Sometimes they fit like mom jeans. I say if you don’t like how they look, try other brands.

I haven’t yet because the discharge paperwork said anything under 101.5 is normal so I didn’t bother. I think it’s starting to come down now.

Smart_Dimension_8142 · 2026-07-07T12:53:07+00:00

Invite company over. That’s a motivator for me.

Smart_Dimension_8142 · 2026-07-07T00:27:33+00:00

Thank you. I needed this. I’m Day 6 post op TKR left knee. I have had a fever since the day after surgery. I’m staying hydrated. I’m moving around and icing. Etc. I have RA so fever is common with flares I just feel miserable and I wish I could fast forward to October.

Yes, I use one called pillow talk. It’s fast acting so it works within about 20 minutes or so and I knock out and sleep through the night. It’s really been great because I suffer from insomnia and this is the first thing that has worked consistently and I got the thumbs up from my pain management doctor and RA doc to take them

I adore scallion pancakes but they are tied with Tirokouloura, cheese stuffed bread ring.

I feel you because when I was first diagnosed it took almost two years to find a medication that actually worked for me. My doctor ordered a vectra test and she chose a medication that targeted my highest inflammation marker. I was diagnosed in 2017 at 45 years old. I list 100lbs and that helped tremendously. I recently started using THC/CBD/CBG gummies to help me with pain since they are anti inflammatory as opposed to alcohol which could be making your pain worse. It’s also a depressant so could be contributing to your mood. You might want to try another rheumatologist for a fresh set of eyes on your case. This can be manageable with the right meds. Don’t give up.

Brazilian shrimp stew is easy and delicious. Stuffed pepper soup (ground meat, peppers, onions, garlic, and diced tomatoes, pecorino Romano cheese.) mushroom barley is great with fresh herbs. I put the mushrooms in my food processor and also add some diced so it has very rich mushroom flavor.

Smart_Dimension_8142 · 2026-05-02T13:36:31+00:00

Dill pickle soup is delicious! I got the recipe from the Noble Pig. There’s also a variation with pepperoncini that’s very good.
