I am 56.5 years old and all of a sudden my right shoulder started to hurt. Then a month later my left shoulder. Maybe it's just arthritis? It's making it painful just to pull up my pants and underwear among other things. Those of you with shoulder pain how old were you when your shoulder pain started?

Especially for Capri, shorts, and pants! All I seem to want to wear is navy and black. My tops are more colorful. I am 56 female, 330 pounds, pale skin, brown hair, and blue eyes. What colors should I expand to? I really have not much fashion sense. Thank you.

Hey everyone. I love soda but try to drink it minimally. There’s just some foods that I love with Coke. Coca-Cola is very expensive! Especially if you buy cans or bottles. Are there small bottles that exist that I could pour Coke from a 2 L bottle into smaller bottles, refrigerate for later use, and not have them go flat? Do these containers exist? I try to only drink 4 ounces of Coke a day. I figured the 2 L bottle is the most economical. Thoughts?

My 81 yo aunt who is almost like a mother to me, keeps asking about my weight and it’s pissing me off. Often, sometimes I’d tell her I don’t wanna talk about it. This is because I had to go off Ozempic for three months and I gained about 17 pounds back. I just get really defensive and don’t wanna talk about it with her. But she keeps pushing the issue. She’ll ask me “why not”? Mind you, she’s never had a weight issue. And if I wanna talk to her about her drinking (which has been worrisome for over 30 years) she doesn’t want to talk about it. So it’s OK for her to talk about my weight but not about her drinking problem. It seems very unfair. So what gives? How would you feel?
I also have an older cousin who I’m close to. She’ll be like “how’s the weight loss going?” I don’t wanna tell her I’m gaining weight & I really don’t wanna talk about it with everyone! Anyway, am I overreacting? I’m just so defensive about it. Thoughts? Thank you for reading.

What do you guys use to tote your groceries and other items from your car to your apartment? I’m tired of carrying all my stuff cause I’m getting older and my shoulders hurt! Looking at foldable wagons but open to other ideas. Thank you!

Hey everyone. I have 2 cups of hashbrowns that I need to use up and I want to make a casserole out of them, but I don’t know how to go about it. I also want to include chicken, cheese, breadcrumbs, mushrooms and celery in the casserole. What else would go good in that casserole? Can I just throw everything together and bake it? I’d appreciate any tips. Thank you.

Hey everyone. I'm trying to make a fruit salad and I have limited fruits. I was going to include strawberries but they are tasteless. Do you all think mango would go well with the above fruits? Thank you.

Hey ladies! When I was a teenager in the 80s, my uncle pulled me aside and showed me how to properly shake hands. I think I was giving him a limp handshake. He told me to have a firm grip (but not too firm) and look people in the eye when you shake their hand. Did anyone teach you how to properly shake hands? When I shake another woman’s hand, they usually give me the cold fish hand. I’ve had men comment to me that I have a nice handshake. I’m just wondering, does it come off as too masculine? Do women just not shake hands really? Or maybe we were taught not to? Thoughts?

I like a fruity soda like Boylan’s grape soda. I try not to drink one too often because of the extra calories. But water with popcorn kinda sucks! I need something sweet to drink to balance the salty. What about you guys?

He says that's what you have to do. It's not good after that date. I say it's good many days after that date. I've drank 2% milk a week after the sell by date and it tasted fine and I was just fine. Am I wrong?

Do you all think this is an acceptable substitute? I ran out of olive oil. Thank you.

Mom always wants to go to bed at least an hour early. Her current bedtime is 8 PM. This morning she didn't get up till 10 AM. We're trying to keep her on a schedule for sleeping. But she always wants to go upstairs early. Any strategies to keep her downstairs till it's time for bed? Thank you!

My 91-year-old mom wants gravy and this is all we have on hand. I tried to make this gravy mix before in the microwave and it was soupy Any tips or tricks to make about two or 3 ounces? Thank you so much!

Hey everyone! What’s your favorite oil to use? Right now I have corn and vegetable oil. Are either of those two any good? Thinking about buying some coconut oil. I don’t want the butter flavored because I want to use it for other things. If I use coconut oil, should I get refined or unrefined? Thank you.

I combined 75% homogenized milk with 25% heavy whipping cream. Added chocolate syrup to taste. I took a sip and it was delicious! But I then I decided it needed a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Then I decided to put it in the blender with a teaspoon each of Bailey's and Kahlúa. Mixed it all together and WOW!! I think next time I will add more Baileys and Kahlúa. Maybe a little rum. This is for after dinner of course.
