📎 1 comment ⚠️ Day 1 [Tuesday 7/16/24 8:20pm ET] GLITCH!!!

NO AARP Post Notification Emails TODAY ☹

Hey Team, once in awhile this site has a GLITCH where you will NOT get a COPY of the Grief Forum POSTS.

Hopefully you figured this out (NO post emails in your Email IN BOX).

Lol, I know some of us READ these emails rather than stop by like I do daily.

Luv you ALL,

Thanks Nicole @SummerOnTheWay1 .

📎 OUR Diane @DianeB887812 stopped by 💃💃💃

Lol, and that is WHY one marriage was enough for me. 😂🤣

Time to ENJOY what time I got left with my only child, a daughter and TAKE CARE OF MYSELF so she does not end up as my caregiver. 👍👍👍

Did you walk?

I just got out of shower and DREADING the heat outside.

🐈 Mr. is UNDER my car. Lol, he will NOT be happy when I WAKE him up to move car without running over him.

Thanks for update and GLAD you are okay.

Luv you my friend,

Nicole 🙂

I never had children. I worked at jobs that required my 24hr support. Payed well. But I did not think it would be fair to try to raise a child when I would not have time to do the job properly. My first husband was a professional sailor. So I was on my own a lot during the first marriage. I’m probably going to get a chihuahua next year. I need a rest for now. If I get too lonely I can always go to see my older brother in Va.

📎 Diane , you had me "giggling" when I read your post AGAIN after Walmart about what your doctor said. I MISSED the part about "have to be rich"/lol 😂🤣

Hey, Florida seems to be the area all the rich and famous seem to be moving to of late.

I had posted I wanted a Sugar Daddy in Florida LAST YEAR May 2023 when I was doing BOTH Virginia and Florida BEFORE reality hit me and Medicare Stress [change in doctors 😭😭😭].

GLAD I took my time now with my daughter being laid off 4/11 of this year 2024.

It was like LIFE had DELAYED me and now understand why.

On the subject of men, don't hate them, but donot need one to be happy or secure. Spent WAY TOO many years looking after and putting up with to return to that life.

Lol, you going for #3 hubbie???

WE got LOTS AND LOTS of potentials here in Virginia as you know from living here. But I know you HATE Winter. Maybe he will SPLIT his time between your apartment in Florida and his whatever here in Virginia.

Lol, YOUNGER than you too...

Thanks for the much needed chuckle!!! 😂🤣

Oh, I got a man 🐈 and he thinks he is paying rent here in my Studio Apt. 🙄🙄🙄

Luv you,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗

@DianeB887812 8pm

📎 Lol Diane @DianeB887812 , it is like LIFE saw I needed another CHATTERBOX here as I know I wear everyone out with my NOSEY SELF!!! 🤣😂

Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by each day.

Luv you my friend,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗

@SummerOnTheWay1 ,just in case you’re holding your breath for the results from my cardiologist, I’m just fine. He recomends my next husband is a healthy YOUNG specimen that can take care of me and will not require so much effort on my part. I will add to that is he needs to be rich. LOL

📎 Dear Marcy @MarcyW882921 , my thoughts are with you dear friend that you find a SOLUTION for your migraines.

So sorry your present medication is SO EXPENSIVE!!! 😤😤😤

It is time for Medicare to COVER these meds so old folks can FUNCTION. Gosh, who can hire a maid to do what needs to be done on a DAILY BASIS???

Luv you my friend,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗

Yes Nicole @SummerOnTheWay1 . I think since we are "retired" it is up to us to speak up about our senior needs to those who make these decisions.

I am "weathering the heat" try to light chores in the a.m. before it heats up ..Follow the sun by closing shades/curtains/windows have indoor fans on as I am not an A/C fan as the p.m comes around and I have windsocks outside so I can see visibly that there is a breeze I begin to draw the curtains and open screened windows for the night so one can sleep ..Drink plenty of fluids through out the day and eat light cucumber and watermelon and tomatoes are good ..Don;t forget if you start to feel lightheaded cold cloths and something with a little salt even soup which is usually salty will help besides gatorade ..Also at night a cold wet cloth helps keep the body temp down by moving around the body ...Time to enjoy that book you have wanted to read and take it easy...

📎 Marcy @MarcyW882921 , any CHORUS UPDATES???

Nicole @SummerOnTheWay1 ,

After reading a piece in the newspaper about a young woman who received significant relief from migraine headaches through auricular therapy administered by an acupuncturist, I decided to try it. Of course it is not covered by Medicare, but I still thought it was worth a shot. My latest medication prescribed by a neurologist is quite expensive even with prescription coverage and even at about 50% savaings in Canada it is still expensive. My next acupuncture follow-up is Tuesday.

📎 (2 comments) Cadee , I am sitting here TRYING to figure out the BEST solution to my ever INCREASING living accommodations from h.ll. 😭😭😭

Gosh, I still MARVEL at you picking up and leaving your h.ll in California.

NOW you are in Idaho, yes - dealing with getting your medical stuff set up BUT finally SAFE!!! 💃💃💃

Anyway, I will update you guys on my MOVING PROJECT. If Cadee did it, so can I!!! 👍👍👍

Luv you ALL,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗

Good afternoon. Got up early today then spent the morning working my daily puzzles. Took my walk and then checked my mail. HMPH! Nothing from AARP. Checked junk mail and there they were. All my lovely messages got sent to junk! So I sat and fixed them all. I did not tell my mail client to send AARP mail to spam so I have no idea how that happened.

Anyway here I am checking to make sure my new friends are all ok.
l will be busy tomorrow getting myself out the door for my eye appt. I’ll be using Uber because I always get dilated for a retina check. That will make it hard for me to read my mail until sometime in the afternoon, so do not panic if I’m a bit late tomorrow. I will see you all tomorrow. Until then LUV TO ALl.

📎 (1 comment) Dr. Diane @DianeB887812 aka Dr. Walker, hope you ENJOYED your walk THIS MORNING. Do you change routes? When I walk, I do to eliminate the boredom

It is nearly 7pm for us BOTH (you in Florida, me in Virginia) and AFTER a much needed ALL DAY NAP 🙄🙄🙄, I am headed to get my soak ready. 👍👍👍

Was TOO TIRED before nap to do the soak = falling asleep.

The NAP was possible as UPSTAIRS neighbors from h.ll have been GONE since Friday. 💃💃💃

Need to check mailbox and take trash to dumpster way in the back TONIGHT. Hate this chore, but....

Luv you my friend,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗
