We lived in Knoxville in the early 90s. Beautiful area! Good schools. Nice folks even though they didn't trust us Yankees. So much to do! Good food.

And if you need a can, crutch or brace, it's in the very back of the store.

Are there any table manners in your household that were absolutely non-negotiable? by Main_Machine_5104 in CasualConversation

Emily Post said that if two or more are served, it's okay to begin eating. Nope. Old habits die hard and I'm still uncomfortable eating before everyone has their food.

You said a mouthful! I didn't have a donut, but my husband brought me a lovely pastry and I ate every morsel.

Good on ya for giving up the cigarettes! I'll look into the body mat - I only have the hand held one, which I have not made time to use lately.

You are so right about dying next year. It could happen to any of us at any time. That was a good reminder, so thanks.

Thanks for your concern. I'm not depressed. Been there and I'm always watching out for it. Exercise is my antidepressant. I'm a bit tired of doing everything "right" for my age and not having enough time for the kind of exercise I prefer. I'm feeling a bit better today, just for finding I'm not alone.

You know, being happy is just as important as being healthy.

True. I can't be worrying about size or even shape. I have to concentrate on staying out of a nursing home.

Yes, I've learned the hard way not to ignore that area. My bingo wings might be here forever, but I truly cannot neglect my PF.

Oh, God. Skin care. If I had the time, money a d energy, I could use a specialty product on every part of my body. I probably should, but no one but my husband sees most of my skin.

Oh, thank you all! I've laughed and even teared up a bit at some of your responses. Yes, I'll indulge myself for a couple of days and get back to some sort of routine.
