Interviewing with an ostomy

I'm going back into the job market and I'm a bit worried. I've had my colostomy for about 2 years. Normally the bag is covered with either a stealth belt or just a bag cover. Either way there is still a noticeable bulge. How do most of you handle this during the interview process? Should I bring it up first or wait until they ask? What if they don't ask?

Retired or Unemployed

I was laid off after working at the same company for almost 30 years after my role was eliminated. Although financially I should go back to work, but realistically there aren't too many opportunities for people over 60 years old. Mentally I'm tired and welcome much needed rest. So, I'm struggling with how to refer to myself - as Retired or Unemployed?

Post Retirement Consulting

For those who retired but are still communicating with your last employer, what is considered a reasonable consulting fee? After 30 years at the same company I've amassed a fair bit of specialized knowledge. I expect my former coworkers to be reaching out asking questions. Not sure what I should ask for as compensation.

Edit: Ending salary $100,000 - IT Admin

Life after Thyroidectomy

I'm 5+ years post TT due to PTC. I've been in senior management and was always an independent, quick thinking take charge kind of person. But now I just don't seem to be that same person. It's difficult to focus and concentrate. I just don't have the work ethic I once had. Luckily I'm near retirement. I just can't tell if I feel like this due to lack of a thyroid or just normal aging. Anyone else relate?

Red Sneakers?

Looking for the name of a movie from the 60’s or 70’s that was shown in class in grade school. It was wildly popular in school but every time I mention it no one has heard of it. It was a red sneaker that moved on its own and went on various adventures. The best part was when the teacher would put the film projector in reverse and we would watch the movie replay in reverse. Any ideas?

Should I Quit or Try 25 mg?

Does 25mg work substantially better for anyone? The 1.5 and 4mg worked well but not the 9mg. In fact I’m not sure I lost anything these past 3 weeks while on the 9mg. I’m wondering if it’s worth getting the 25mg next.
