huh, interesting

i have no words 😭

This is the 2017 conference held by Mike Pence and fellow Republicans discussing the ACA. Talks included important topics like maternity leave and health care associated with giving birth. It's not all that was discussed, but it probably would have benefited from having more women there as there was only a single woman, which they excluded from the picture.

edit: for those who don’t like to read my posts, there was a single woman in attendance, she was excluded from the photo.

As a note: The conservative Freedom Caucus doesn't have any female members.

How do you deal with the daily aches and pains?

I am 60 and was diagnosed with post traumatic subtalar arthritis (the joint just under the ankle). I miss the way I used to feel just walking with no ache in my right foot. Must I live on daily Advil? Only solution is a fusion surgery but I don’t want to live with a brick of a foot. Not eligible for ankle replacement cuz it’s below the ankle affected. Help.

Empty nest - not quite

My daughter heads off to college tomorrow. It didn't bother me too much but it just hit me that she's the baby of the family. Have one adult kid at home but it's not the same. Life isn't over of course but no idea where to go from here beyond paying.off college and the mortgage. My wife and I are very different than we were when we met and hard to see the future.

Surely I'm not along. What did you do?

My skin at 56

As the title says, I’m 56 years-old, and I have recently gone into full skin care mode. As you can tell, I am very fair skinned, and unfortunately I did not listen to my mother and wear sunscreen on my face daily until I reached my forties….of course a lot of damage was already done. At 50 I had a facelift, which did help, but there are some lines that are driving me crazy! I am not trying to look 20 again, but I would love to get rid of some of these lines. For any of you that had lines like this, and improved them, what did you do?

Looking for good, low impact habits for retirees

I am newly retired and looking for ways to maintain mobility now that I have fewer reasons to get out of the house. I've had a few health issues the last few years and need to prioritize more gentle habits, so no running marathons for me! Any suggestions for something low impact and easy to start would be appreciated.
