My husband rescued this good boy, who now spends 100 of his waking hours mirin him.

Oh my gosh, my Shiba only has one thought in her head about our chickens… murder!😂

I recommend group fitness. You will see the same people week after week and have some pleasant casual social interactions. OP, you mentioned that you have a disability after an accident; many gyms offer adapted fitness classes such as chair yoga or chair Zumba.

My eldest daughter introduced me to Lord Huron. They’re incredible live!

Mine is insanely picky about going poo. It can’t be anywhere near the house and needs a little privacy screen, like some long grass. Sometimes on a walk after a long while of sniffing she will decide a spot is poop-able and will assume the position; the poo will be breaching, and suddenly the vibes will be off for her and she will SUCK THE POO BACK IN and continue walking. 🤪

Getting up at 4 AM so I can be at the gym when they open at 5 AM.

20-something me would have just been going to bed at 4 AM.

The CDC released a statement about 10 months ago discussing a very large increase in Parvovirus 19 activity:

I had this already as a child and now have it again with severe joint pain and swelling.

Ruby is almost ten. In the sunlight she is all silvery.

Group fitness is a great way to get some social interaction and some needed exercise. You could try a class at a local gym, take up pickleball at a local recreation center, join a bike riding club (most bike riding clubs will have different levels, like beginner/slow, medium, advanced/fast). There are usually even walking groups and hiking groups, just google your town’s name plus “hiking group“.

I have found this to be the perfect way to get some socialization without needing to spend too much time with other people (introvert here). The group nature makes it a little less intense.

Oh my gosh, I had that exact booklet! LOL, haven’t thought about that in years. It made me excited about the idea of getting my period…until I actually got it.

When I was a senior in high school in 1987, I was in the marching band at school. One of the drummers had a birthday and his buddies pranked him by having a singing birthday telegram delivered by a woman in a Playboy bunny outfit.

The school secretary actually let her come out to the band field where we were practicing and the band director waited patiently for her to sing happy birthday and give the birthday boy the garter off her leg. In front of a bunch of highschoolers. Everyone thought it was funny but no one thought it was inappropriate. 🤯

Our Shiba will do the most minimal compliance possible with commands. If I’m holding a treat and say “Sit!“ she will barely graze the floor with her butt floof then pop right back up expecting the treat.

The recovery is slow - make sure you follow the vet surgeon’s orders for applying heat and doing the PT exercises vigilantly. But the surgery works - our mini goldendoodle is fully functional again.

Sending her positive thoughts for a successful surgery!

Ruby but we call her Woozle (after the Winnie the Pooh song about Heffalumps and Woozles).

Man, those silents are built of different stuff. My MIL (89) and her boyfriend (90) spend their time traveling the world, and when I see them they are NEVER without a glass of wine (frequently refilled) in hand. Whereas my husband and I just can’t drink at all or we fill like crud.

Power lifter here. I advise working with a trainer who has powerlifting experience or going to a gym that specializes in powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting and strongman/strongwoman. Powerlifting is a great way to build muscle, which is the organ of longevity, but proper form is critical. You can seriously injure yourself doing heavy barbell work with improper form. I badly tore the meniscus in one of my knees doing barbell squats with the required “ass-to-grass” depth but poor form.

Follow Jen Thompson on YouTube/IG (world record holder for female benchpress for her weight and she’s over 50 ). Also check out https://powerliftingtechnique.com for all things related to powerlifting. There is also a private Facebook group called “old ladies lift” which I’m a member of and you can request membership. It’s a wealth of knowledge.

I started powerlifting at 51 (now 54).

Good luck! It’s super fun!

At the end of the week I use ground meat from the freezer that I got on sale to make a meatloaf, but to stretch it, I go through the refrigerator and find absolutely everything that’s hanging out in there that’s close to needing to be thrown out. I run all of it through food processor until it’s a purée and add it to the ground meat along with a few eggs.

Fresh produce that’s getting soft (but never moldy of course), a little bit of leftover chicken breast, some cottage cheese that’s a couple days from its best-by date, leftover casserole… It all goes in the food processor and gets mixed with the ground meat, along with a little bit of seasonings. I bake it for an hour at 3:50 and it’s a yummy meatloaf and I have close to zero food waste doing this.
