Re: Finally - Too Tired

Fact is, I hate honey and therefore would have no incentive to take up bee-keeping. One of the best beekeepers in our area also hates honey. Never eats it. But he loves working with the bees. Year after year, his hives are the most productive in the area. On average, his hives produce 150 lbs each ...

Re: Finally - Too Tired

Whilst checking of how well I was doing with my exercises (for my age) it was this site that brought it home to me... https://foundationchiropractic.ca/at-home-fitness-testing/ The realisation that I am unlikely to ever better by very much the average push-up, for instance, of someone half my age w...

Re: Finally - Too Tired

At 73 years old, I know this from experience :D Uncle Al :mrgreen: :ugeek: :mrgreen: Al, Being just a few years younger than you, I'm not there, yet, but I can feel it coming on. I can't last as long as I once did, and it seems to take me longer to get things done. Even though I've reduced the numb...

Re: Partners

It has come to pass. The new section is in place under "People" and should be visible to all members in good standing. I wanted to protect this, at least initially, from the prying "eyes" of web-crawlers and bots, but everyone really ought to be able to access, read, and post to...

Re: Partners

Would it be possible for a "Partners/Significant Others" category to be added to the board? In this world, most anything is possible -- even bad ideas. However, I don't think this is necessarily a bad idea -- quite the opposite, really, as it's a common problem. I'll have a chat with the ...

Re: Non-posting/inactive members?

Using the copy of the database I have in my lab which is a couple of months old, if I ran that now on the Production database the cull would amount to 5,986 usernames. This sort of shows just how thin on the ground we are. Carl, I'm confused by 5,986 usernames. The forum homepage says there are onl...

Re: Non-posting/inactive members?

As a relatively new member who has only posted a few times, I'd just like to say that I really appreciate the tenor of this forum. Everyone seems to express their opinions and ideas openly and honestly. And they do so in a way that is encouraging and not offensive. I also appreciate that those of yo...

Re: An Oldie

I agree. I do keep appointments on my phone, but still prefer to keep tasks only in my calendar. It's a personal preference.

Re: Sixty years ago

I was in school, in first grade. It was my seventh birthday. I remember the flag being at half mast when I left the school building. Grok and I must be the same age. I was also in first grade when this happened. I don't remember anything specific about the day President Kenedy was shot. What I do r...

Re: An Oldie

Yes, unfortunately this is a part of my life now.

To get things done and help me stay focused, I write down scheduled appointments and a list of things to do in a calendar book at the beginning of each week.

Re: The road to not caring

Kudos for getting out! I have yet wear my skirts out of the house. (And probably won't for some time since my beloved wife insists that skirts stay in the house when they're on me. :lol: ) By the way, I like your skirt. I have a very similar one, that I like very much, which I ordered from Amazon.

Re: Weather in your location ?

Relatively balmy here in the Piedmont Carolinas, with highs in the 70's (F). Unfortunately, we've had very little rain here for the last two or three months, so we're officially classified as being in severe drought.

Supposed to get some rain next week. Hope we actually get it :roll:
