    Hated appliances you have purchased

    i HAVE PURCHASED 2 APPLIANCES THAT I Hate: It is hard for me to know which one I hate the most- the ceramic stove top or my refridgerator that requires me to change the filter every 6 weeks. I am so grateful that my old no frills Maytag washer and dryer is still working.

    Social media: The good, bad and plain ugly

    I am deeply concerned about young people. I don't know how I would handle social media that was threatening and doing harmful things to my child. I know this begins at school but how can we teach children to care about themselves enough not to feel threatened by others? How would I feel about...

    Facebook- People who get all of their news from FOX

    People who write notes on Facebook should stick to writing only about their lives and up-to-date happenings. Also,keep it among only family and close friends. One should never write about politics and religion to everybody and their cousins. I just received a facebook from someone I hardly...

    Cook or Eat Frozen Meals

    Living alone, I do not enjoy cooking. I browse the freezer section of Publix's. I am having a heck of time trying to eat healthy. The thing is they are loaded with salt. I need to watch my salt intake. All of them are organic but you cannot find one that has less than 490 grams of salt. I do...

    Percy Sledge

    I was saddened to learn that Percy Sledge died today. We all remember "When a Man Loves A Woman". He co-wrote and recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. I am glad I still have his music to listen to.

    After age 70 what medical checkups should you continue taking?

    This is for ones who are 70 plus. Are there any medical exams you are no longer taking? I am no longer going to take a mammogram or a colon exam. I do a self breast exam. I probably won't take a heart test either. If I found out I had cancer, I would not go through the radiation. I might...

    I invested in a policy for my later years (the time may be here, and I'm in denial). Has anyone else do? If so, is there anyone out there that is using it now?

    Grand chidren discoveries

    My grandchildren (ages 5 & 3) have discovered Grammy's home line phones. They are amazed that they can talk to one another in my house without even punching in the numbers. And when the home line rings they run to answer. There may be 3 or 4 talking on the line (conference calling?) to the...

    weather and coping with old age

    It is a beautiful day to day. My outside thermometer is reading 79 degrees. My heart is heavy for all the Buffalo NY people. It is no wonder that so many leave the north in the winter. I am having problem with my lungs. I hope the med kicks in soon. So much to do to get ready for the family.

    Do you use online to buy and sell?

    Buying and Selling online is something I would never do. Watching television has told me that Craig's List is probably the number one to never use. Do you use Ebay, or any of these to sell or buy things? Let us hear your idea or experience on this subject.
