    Anyone have a "walking pad" as opposed to a treadmill?

    Love walking outside in good weather. We downsized 5 yrs ago to a tiny house in a safe lake community. Lots of senior walkers, bikers, dog walkers, grandparents pushing strollers midday. Now rehabbing my second hip replacement. Bought an inexpensive UREVO walking pad on Amazon for foul weather...

    Long Wait Time to get Appointment with Dermatologist

    Took a couple weeks for an initial dermatologist appt to check the growth on my upper lip. She suggested that a plastic surgeon would do a better job biopsying it given it's size and location. I appreciated her reluctance to leave more disfigurement than necessary. Plastic surgeon was seen...

    Earthquake in NJ

    We live in the center of Morris County NJ. Our entire neighborhood congregated in the street together. Some older folks, some babies, several dogs. Alot of talking over each other, wondering what it was. My DH brought his phone out and we got to read the local alerts and the ones from NYC 30...

    Baseball 2024

    Cautiously thinking the Yankees are a different (better) team this year. Happy to see that there may be other legitimate hitters in addition to Judge. I know it's early. But a girl can dream.

    Baseball 2024

    Kinda amazed the Yankees came back from down 0-4 today. Of course on the way to squeaking out the 5-4 win, they left the bases loaded 3 times I think. Still, was really nice to start the season with a win.

    Baseball 2024

    It was amazing seeing Giancarlo Stanton hit THREE massive home runs in one game the other day. Hope that this is a good sign for the Yankees.

    What Was Your First Word?

    jollystomper, had to laugh at your post. We have a now 2 yr old grandson who followed right in your footsteps. I cared for him a fews days a week while his parents worked. From very early on, he wanted me to walk him around his house and point out lamps, sconces, ceiling lights, etc saying...

    What is the last thing you ordered from Amazon?

    A very basic Urevo walking pad for $219. Wasted a bunch of time researching ellipticals and treadmills across the price spectrum. Finally decided this one was cheap but seemingly good enough for old people like me rehabbing a new hip going into winter. Maximum 4 mph!

    Paying at the time of service... but it is the wrong charge

    Hard to figure. The behavior of the office staff never seems nefarious just persistently wrong.

    Paying at the time of service... but it is the wrong charge

    badatmath, you are VERY far from impatient. So very frustrating Im sure. Really odd that even the insurance company hasnt seemed to make an impression on the office.

    Paying at the time of service... but it is the wrong charge

    Have never had this problem until we switched to a new dentist about 3 yrs ago. We pay for Delta dental insurance privately as we lost employer coverage when I retired DH and I both consume a fair amount of dental care so the numbers fir the insurance work for us. Both our old and new dentists...

    Doctor Meet and Greet Questions

    First name, last name.... either is fine with me. Just dont ever try Honey or Sweetie or similar just because I have grey hair! I worked with many doctors during my work life. And became professionally close with some. I never thought to address any Doctor by first name, no matter our age...
