I'm Growing Older / So Are You
Comments (45)I started getting gray when I was in my late 20's. I dyed it once when I was about 40 but it was too much trouble to keep up with...plus, it is very white around my face so the roots show quickly. I don't like gray hair...and I am always looking at older women who have dyed hair, and imagining what they would look like with gray hair, and yes, they would look older....but I don't want the upkeep. For the same reason, I like to keep mine cut fairly short. I don't style my hair or blow dry it or anything like that. I wash it and that's it. My hair is very thick and I have strong nails. I cut them off with scissors when they get past my finger tips. My teeth are good....and they had better be....I have full dental implants. Cost a bunch, but so worth it. I will be 69 in October. I have good health....no high blood pressure or cholesterol and take no meds. I do take vitamins and supplements. My doctor prescribed Forteo, a shot to take for osteoporosis, because I am around horses all the time, but I haven't found out the particulars about it yet and getting a pharmacy to order it for me. It is the only one I can take since my dentist says most osteoporosis treatments are very, very hard on your jaw bones...and the bones in your feet. In my mind, I feel like I am about 12 years old. The only time I don't feel good about my age is when I look in the mirror, but I don't dwell on that. I feel like other people may have to look at me....I don't. And I don't. I put on a little makeup if I go to town and I think that helps a little but around home, I don't do that. I still ride my horse....and take care of a multitude of animals. I am trying to not slow down. I have a lot of things to do and take care of but I am not going to stop....See MoreAges at KT: been some time since we have done this
Comments (89)I will turn 69 in a few months. I am trying not to look at the years ahead in terms of time left or at the time as passed. I was born in 1950 and never thought beyond the year 2000. So being older than 50 is hard to fathom. Being active in the moment and having full days is the goal. I came to the Kitchen Forum when we were remodeling the kitchen at the riverhouse in 2009. Found I enjoyed the company. I poked around the Garden Web and landed at KT. I admire all the people here....See MoreFloof! Time travel! The year is 2005
Comments (25)I would have been finishing up my 10th year of working at a small K-8 elementary school and the school would have been finishing up the school year. At this time of year, we would have been practicing for the school play and participating in track events. May would have brought field trips to mark the end of the school year and the 8th graders would have been excited about their upcoming graduation trip. For many of them, it would be their first time going out of town and staying in a hotel. The 8th grade graduation plans would have been well under way. Spring testing would also have been taking place along with parent/teacher conferences. It was a very busy time of year at school, but also a fun time as everyone (students and staff) looked forward to the arrival of summer break. I think the only people who didn't look forward to the end of the school year were the parents!...See MoreDo you feel old?
Comments (63)Nicole, I do plan to open an Etsy store when I get back to Cathedral City. It took me a while of studying to figure out exactly how I want to handle, but I think I have it figured out now. Everyone seems to say that one should never put their store on vacation, but If I did not do this, then I would have to haul my inventory back to L.A. every time I went back and forth. I finally decided to ignore this advice and have my store open only when I am in Cathedral City. It will be much easier to ship from there, and I have much more storage space for my inventory. I've already photographed a lot of my inventory, and so now I just have to work out how I want my store to look and how to describe everything. I've bought quite a few things on Etsy (including a couple of expensive clocks) and have been happy with the site for that. I only plan to have the store until I run out of fabric, and I do not intend to invest in more fabric once most of it has sold. Thanks for the reminder! The money will be helpful (although not essential), and it will also give me something to do in the desert, where I am much more focused. In L.A., I cannot keep up with yard work, and I really need to hire some help for that. I'm just really distrustful of local gardeners, as they usually do not appreciate what I have and are capable of doing a lot of damage. However, at this point, I think more damage will be done if I do not hire someone. I'm just not able to do everything for both houses. Maintenance in CC is very minimal, and we do have a pool service there. I guess I just need to pay for yard service in L.A. as well. This would cut into our budget for international travel, but that's on hold for now anyway. I don't think I'm too old to do renovations, and we plan to renovate our kitchen in Cathedral City in January or February....See More- 7 years ago
