- All my life I planned to help my parents if they ever neede help. I was there for my mother, moving in and helping her until she passed away nearly 12 years ago. Last year I did all I could to help my father, leaving myself in a bad financial...
- I saw a show the other day that got me thinking. In it, one of the characters falls in love and the two decide to marry. It's sci-fi, so at some point the man dies and through an interesting twist, everyone's memory of his existence is erased. ...
- 20/20 did a special on online dating. They showed middle-aged and older people who'd been victimized by scams. Back years ago, when I was a member of online dating, this was not a worry. Now, the scammers are just waiting for vulnerable people to...
- A little over a month ago, I had a dizzy spell that sent me to the hospital in the back of an ambulance. Now, thousands of dollars later and countless hours of yoga to get the stress out of my life, I got a diagnosis. It's a vitamin b12...
- I'm sure we've all had someone in our lives who've told us that we are wrong to feel anger towards our parents. I've even seen an occassional post here, where someone was venting, only to receive a response that was more critical than helpful. I...
- I'm not normally into reality TV, but the other day I found myself watching The Tatum and Ryan O'neal show on OWN network. And on Piers Morgan show, Ryan blamed the cancer Farrah Fawcett developed on Tatum. Never mind the cancer the poor woman got...
- Well, after a year and 3 months, I was finally able to watch an episode of Doctor Who. It was our show. My husband started watching way back in the 1960s, but it wasn't until the new Doctor Who premiered in 2004 that he got me to watch with him. ...
- I find myself again wishing my husband was around to tell me what to do. I've been searching for a townhouse and finally found one that I like. It's a short sell that is as-is. I'm told that they had a buyer, but the buyer walked. The bank has...
- For the past year I've carried around a lot of excess weight. It's not the kind you can burn off in a health club, it's the burdens of life. I'd lost my husband, had a terrrible, argumentive father, and a job that never offered job security. So I...
- Anyone own a condo? What do you think? I'm considering buying one, but it's so scary thinking of all the possibilities, like everyone foreclosing and leaving me in an empty building.
- Such a relief. My father no longer has a legal say so in my medical issues. I signed the rights over to my step-daughter, a lovely young woman I love and trust. I can sleep better now.
- So unbelivable what we encounter when we lose our spouses. When my husband was alive, I didn't have to worry about medical decisions if I were unconsious. Now, I find myself having to have a living will and medical power of attorney. So, I...
- It's been a while since I was single. As a woman who loved my husband deeply, dating is just not someting I want to do. Nevertheless, I forgot my old problem with dating: i.e younger men. I'd forgotten that long before the exitence of the...
- It was all so simple when my husband was alive. If something happened to me, he would step in and make decisions. Now, I don't have that option, so the responsibility legally falls to my father.I'll tell anyone who is widowed, make the decision as...
- My husband had a sudden anuerysm. Four months later my cousin died of a sudden heart attack. There people who've died of strokes that are close to me. So the question I had for many months was what did they think in the final moments? Were they...
