Recently had Covid for the first time. DH and I both got it at the same time. I either got from him or our daughter. She didn't feel well for a day or so and doesn't know it was Covid but could me. I took the Paxlovid. I had the bitter taste (DH didn't). I did some research and found that...

responding to moving to be closer to family... I guess this is a personal choice but I don't see it that way. I think that wanting to live somewhere else for other reasons is perfectly valid. We moved to a state that we knew no one. Our daughter did follow us here which has been nice. But...

YouTube Premium.

I have AARP Medigap. So here is the way it works. You find a gym that accepts Renew Active and go in and sign up. They will tell you what you get for that. I recently joined a gym that has 3 tiers of membership. Renew Active got me the midrange tier which was the one I would have selected...

You absolutely want to take a statin (or other lipid lowering medication if you are intolerant). There are several reasons for this. I calcium score of 164 is not good. A high calcium score is a sign of atherosclerosis. Heart disease needs to be treated. 1. If you have calcified plaque...

Were a number of years retired when we moved from Texas to Delaware last year. I had lived in Texas my whole life. DH's dad had been in the Navy so he had lived lots of places (none in the north) as a child but had lived in Texas as an adult. When we moved here we knew no one. We spent a lot...

I have a Paperwhite I got about 3 years ago. Honestly I don't often use it. I don't actually know where it is right now. I keep intending to use it but I find myself just using the Kindle app on my phone....

I have 2 friends really. Once was my best friend in high school. We lost contact after she got married and I finished school and lived 250 miles from her (this was back when long distance cost money). Then many years later we reconnected but I was in the middle of raising kids by then. She...

The concern I have is that if I have a knee replacement in my early 70s that I will need another one 15 years later in my late 80s. I wonder if there is n age sweet spot where you can have a knee replacement and still have a second one later on if heed be. I agree with this to a point. But...

Ah I can see that my post was not nearly as clear as I thought it was. The reason that I was a little surprised by the initial inquiry was not at all because I think everyone should need a desktop computer. Even though only have a laptop is not what I want I fully understand why it might work...

This is all interesting. I know I have this in the future. An MRI about 10 years ago said I was bone on bone. a About 25 years ago I had a tibial transfer on my left knee which helped a lot with the knee pain I was having then. When I had the MRI 10 years ago (for unrelated issue) told me...

If you have YouTube Premium you can download videos.

I have an AARP UHC Supplement (Plan G) and they give me Active Renew which does give free gym memberships. That said, some gyms are "Premium" and you only get on a Medicare Advantage plan. They aren't gyms I want so I don't mind. There is one thing I am sore about but I doubt it is AARP or...

Last fall we moved 1500 miles and sold most of our furniture before moving. We got here and did spring for a Tempur-Pedic bed frame and mattress and bought a very nice sofa and chair from a bricks and mortar furniture store. Everything else came from Wayfair. We bought 2 office desks, a curio...

This is a joke, right? But just in case there is so much that you can't easily do on a laptop computer or is more difficult. Note that I have 2 laptops so I am not anti-laptop. For my desktop I had it built by NZXT. I specified every part of it. I could get exactly the graphics card that I...
