I know this isn’t exactly a menopause-related question, but do any of you older ladies have separated abdominal muscles? I’m pretty sure mine are, and I’m concerned that the planks & crunches I do may not actually be stabilizing my core. I have a lot of lower back pain that used to feel better with that kind of exercise; lately, nothing helps. Any suggestions?
I live in the PNW, zone 8b, with cool damp nights & mornings—so ideal weather for developing powdery mildew. It seems lately it’s either raining or bright sun, neither of whis is good for spraying, as I understand? If the spray dries before it gets hot & sunny, is that ok? Or do I hold off for a cloudy day?
I don’t know if this is the right sub, but up the street from me some very active, obviously large, critter is digging these burrows. I’d like to know what it is in case they start down the hill! The hole is about 6-8” across (I didn’t carry a banana with me!)
If we lived in the drier intermountain west I’d think badgers, but I don’t think badgers live here. My elderly neighbor thought it looked like a ‘mountain beaver’ burrow. Any ideas?
My fingernails have always been fragile, and lately they are breaking even more than usual, often down into the quick. Does anyone have a supplement or suggestion for stronger nails? I don’t use nail polish, fake nails, or basically anything, and mostly use gloves when washing up.
