I started losing my hair in my mid twenties and am a baldie now. Hair didn't start turning gray until I was in late forties.

Woke up to snow this morning, maybe inch and a half, but some of it has melted off already.

It's pretty sad, to be honest with you. And yeah, man buns are foolish looking, although It would be nice to have that much hair. I live in a small town, very rural. You just don't see that stuff here, thank goodness.

I kept getting calls from numbers I didn't recognize so I didn't answer. They were always similar, but slightly different. It was averaging four times per day so I finally got fed up and answered, knowing it was going to be a scam. It was a so called Medicare benefit advocate. I asked "What...

I file as soon as I get the needed documentation. I did so about a week ago using TurboTax free. I just saw on the news that TurboTax has been guilty of charging people for their free service. I've used it for three years and haven't had any issues....but I'll be watching.

Wow, I guess we humans aren't supposed to age past a specific point. I wonder what the cutoff age is supposed to be? Really, many young people don't want children, so they aren't replenishing the workforce. "Legal" immigration may be the only answer.

I'm guilty of not drinking enough water. Don't even think about doing it. I drink two cups of coffee in the morning, a bottle of diet soda during the day, a glass of water for one meal and a glass of milk in the evening with a snack. But it isn't enough. I just get busy doing stuff throughout...

I don't have a tub either. I have two bathrooms upstairs and they both have showers. Plus, I can't do hot tubs, they make me feel awful. Don't know what that hot water does to me, but I can only stand about 5 minutes in one.

I don't have any info, but I have trigger finger on 3 different fingers. The left hand, middle finger is the worst and it does hurt. The 2 fingers on my right hand aren't bad, and as the morning progresses they improve and don't hurt at all. Don't know what causes it, although I have...

Now they're saying it can be up to two weeks before symptoms start. People can be infected for far too long before ever knowing they have this virus. This really bears watching.

I've been lucky. Haven't had the flu for thirty years. I do get flu shots every year but they won't protect you from the newest strains. And yes, washing your hands is a great prevention, but something I usually forget to do.

That's great info. One thing I might ask about though, is the final $ cost of treatment to the individual. As medical insurance goes, even with (for instance) a quality Medicare Advantage Plan, what is the burden of payment going to end up being? Many of us, myself included, don't have thousands...

Sorry, but I had to LOL at that!

I'll keep my fingers crossed. Lost too many friends and family to this awful scourge.

Kaila, I think my mother had it to a much lesser extent, but it was never diagnosed. I started noticing it at approximately age 60 with hard knots and dimples down into the skin in my palm, near the fingers. I still have plenty of strength in my fingers for grasping, but can only open my hand up...
