A Divided Country
In my 85 years in this wonderful USA I have never felt this country so divided. What in this world is wrong with us? 2020 has been a horrible year for many of us for many reasons, not the least of which the Coronavirus played a huge part. But I have also seen first...
How To Be Comfortable Meeting New People
I have been in situations that were rather unfriendly to me and I have been in situations that I realized that a person or persons were uncomfortable. And I have been in many more situations where I did not personally know a sole in the room. I am speaking about...
Venting…Mask vs. No Mask
I don't usually like to blog about my personal beliefs when it slams other people so I'm sorry if I am stepping on your toes but this is just really bugging me. I just can't understand or condone people saying that it is their right to refuse to wear a mask when out...
Shingrix Vaccine To Help Prevent Shingles
This may not be helpful to a lot of people as you may know all this data already. But just in case, since I didn't know some of this myself and since it definitely affected myself and other family members, I wanted to share this. My husband and I received the "old"...

A Pulmonary Infection From A Virus Vs. A Bacterium
A very close family friend had a close call recently as he started out with some type of upper respiratory infection which got worse and worse. What started out as a bad cold (seemingly) very quickly turned into something much worse. He coughed constantly, ran a fever...
Stop The Prejudice!
If we want to "Make America Great Again" there is only one way as far as I am concerned. That is to stop this horrible "divide" in this country. It seems to me that there is a distinct split going on in the USA right now that I, personally, have never seen the likes...
A Self-imposed Anti-inflammatory Diet.
I have rather severe osteoarthritis. I think I have mentioned this before and told you about some of my surgeries. Anyway, my Orthopedic Surgeon told me that I needed my left wrist operated on just as I had done a couple of years ago on my right wrist. My thought was,...
Kegel Exercise.. For Urinary Incontinence Plus…..A Real Plus/Plus
I have written about this before but I have found it so helpful and so easy that I want to discuss it again. This is a real plus/plus type thing for females. It is so easy to do and doesn't require any extra time to do it to get great results..The benefit of the Kegel...
