Yes, maintenance is key as we age, and aging, as you say, is not for the faint of heart. One antidote for me is trying to stay in touch with my inner child - the grands really help with that! I really do believe that we can be as young as we feel, at least mentally if not physically.<br />Blessings to you!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-5691738758746587802017-12-13T07:42:33.314-06:002017-12-13T07:42:33.314-06:00Fifty is the prime of laugh, My Friend!!

Call Miss Clairol and walk those long paths always leading to the doctor's office and you'll be fine.

Rid-X, Off & Bug Away came to mind among others I intend to send.And as for being a card carrying member of the Crazy Old Lady group- it has its advantages for sure!<br />Thanks for the laugh!<br />Blessings, My Friend!Loraluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428559311387283317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-64586682179379979082017-12-13T05:26:28.468-06:002017-12-13T05:26:28.468-06:00{{{giggling}}} Lulu, you have me in a fit of giggl...{{{giggling}}} Lulu, you have me in a fit of giggles as we were discussing something very similar. Maintenance; I haven't had a haircut since April, my hair is nearly gray, this surgery has taken its toll (4 weeks in!), I have lost nearly 30 pounds, sad to say. Insurance also requires a primary, then permission to see another dr. and so on. No gym classes here, walking is the best I can do. I had no idea 50 would be so hard...it seems its on my mind, a lot.<br /><br />Great post, friend...now, I got to go clean the desk off of the coffee I spat out, LOLOL. Have a beautiful day friend.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16466115918585699329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-71579172862757393262017-12-13T05:25:57.748-06:002017-12-13T05:25:57.748-06:00Oh ... don't tell me about doctors ... they ar...Oh ... don't tell me about doctors ... they are like car mechanics. They always find something wrong with you. Fancy telling me "Your big end's gone!" That's the car mechanic, not the doctor. If the doctor had said that I'd tell him to watch his own fat backside. And why does he keep sending me to the hospital for blood tests? I got so fed up going, I now give my test card to a friend and he goes and gives blood instead. Last week he could not make it and he sent his wife instead. When I went to the doctor for the test results he told me I was pregnant. <br /><br />But getting old is good, Lulu. You're free to act any way you want and people tolerate it. For example, at Christmas, instead of sending Christmas cards I just cut rectangles from packets of corn flakes, fold them in two, and write my seasonal message inside. No need to buy expensive cards. Just send packets of cereals, or cards from other packets like biscuits, sweets, etc ... Just cut the cardboard, fold it and send it. For people I don't like I send them cards made out of laxative packets, or other medical products, like Preparation H. These cost more because I buy the products just for the packaging. It sends a subliminal message to the recipients that my good wishes are not genuine. To really lose friends, I send them cards without the postage stamps. Here in the UK if you send a letter without a stamp the recipient has to pay double the postage due when he receives the letter. Can you imagine? Paying twice the postage for a folded Preparation H packaging? Eccentric ... or just cute?<br /><br />It's great to be old.<br /><br />God bless.
