Thanks for your support, Bella. ❤️

Welcome back!

I lived in the Phoenix area at the time of the incident and was actually outside that evening but unfortunately I didn't see it. I was taking a class in Scottsdale that night. There was virtually no press coverage of the incident on the Phoenix news stations until the story went national in June...

It's not that I've wanted to be but I've been single for most of my life. Some of it has been by choice, some of it has been by circumstances. It's a long story. I'm surprised there aren't more single people on this site.

I love dark chocolate but unfortunately I have to eat it in minimal amounts and only occasionally because it can contribute to insomnia.

Last week when I made the decision to do a search for social forums for seniors I came across about 20 of them in a few minutes. One of the first ones I checked out was this forum. Much to my surprise, I discovered that I was already a member! Was it destiny perhaps?

You've got me beat. I have yet to visit the Vancouver zoo. I've heard great things about Sydney and definitely prefer your climate over any Canadian one. Coincidentally, I was checking out cruises to Australia earlier this week and was surprised to see how reasonable the cost was. I'd prefer the...

I wish. You're too kind, Radish Rose. The picture is now about 6 years old and as we know time at this age isn't very kind to us.

Thanks again for all the welcoming comments that you all greeted me with back in September of 2020. I returned to the site this week after a more than 3 year absence without realizing that I had joined the group previously. I guess there must have been a lot going on in my life at the time.

Three weeks from today we switch to Daylight Savings Time! Although I'm quite certain that there are some here at the Senior Forum who probably don't like having to change their clocks and/or they dislike having to make sleep adjustments to the new time, I'm more of the attitude of 'hip hip...

I appreciate the suggestions and your concern. Until the heart failure incident, I only took the smallest amount (0.5 mg) occasionally for a good night sleep, specifically because if I took it consistently for more than a week or so, I would notice that my memory would suffer. If it hadn't been...

Up until recently, I was taking online courses but since I stopped taking them, I noticed my memory has deteriorated rapidly. I also think I contracted long Covid after being in the office of a dentist who attended the well-known super spreader event in North Vancouver in 2020. In addition, I...

Rather than waiting weeks to see my GP, I recently visited a drop-in medical clinic about some leg pain I have and was informed that I should get an ultrasound done. It was a good thing I did since the ultrasound found a torn tendon in left leg and an even more serious problem with the right. I...

In my 30s, I worked for the railway as a yardman. On one particular occasion when I was adjusting a coupling bar, the engineer shoved the cars ahead without getting my permission to do so. A string of railway cars rolled above me. Since the day I hired on, I had heard of a number of casualties...
