Tomorrow I am going to go to the local senior center and take a class on balance and strength. My BFF is also going to go as due to foot surgury she has a locked up ankle. Wish us luck we don;t break anything!! It will get me out of the house a few times a week when I am home, and make some new retired friends,, good for winter coming up. My DD keeps saying I am not Senior Citizen,, so I told her I could be the baby..LOL. Actually she is for it. I was going to volunteer a few places but I think I need to take it slow on all that. Today was the end of my first week of retirement and it has gone OK,, been busy JHH finally got my retirement package so hopefully no more information needed and I'll see a check before Nov. Also got locked out of my SS account ( well why not add to the stress) but they were able to get me back into it, and I may see a check in Oct.. This retireing is harder than I thought,, from a paperwork end.. and I started in MAY!!

Llama I sent Golden a private message and she responded. Her big move is coming up the 2nd week of September. She said she'll be back once she is settled.

I know we all are wishing her the very best with that and looking forward to her return.

She told me she's taking an indefinite break from the forum Gershun. She's liked a couple of my posts so I know she's checking in occasionally.

Anyone hear from Golden lately? It's been a while since I've seen her on here. I'm a bit worried. I'll send her a private but in the meantime if anyone has heard from her let me know. Thx in advance.

Exhausted Carer, as to the three who went suspended over a week ago (two weeks come this coming Monday) I think none of them are back. Two of them may not be coming back by their choice or haven't seen something they wish to comment on; they were neither of them "regularly" on.
One of them, however, I believe did something to go from suspended to eliminated, as she went from "anonymous" to GONE along with all her comments.

But, yes, the policy is stated clearly. I think that it's OK it stays top of the news feed, because it's a reminder, and we can't claim we didn't know the rules.

“I hope that the policy update will disappear from the 'top of our news feeds'.”

Agree. But I don’t think they want to get rid of it.

I hope that the policy update will disappear from the 'top of our news feeds'. I've already read it! Perhaps once a month would be better.

It's all covered in the policy update that is pinned to the top of our news feeds,

First strike: 7-day suspension

Second strike: 14-day suspension

Third strike: Permanent account closure

When someone is blocked from posting, how long does that last until they can resume activity on the forum?

So, Miley Cyrus may be doing the Super Bowl halftime act this year. If this comes to pass, I would really like to see her perform with her godmother, Dolly Parton! I adore Dolly! I think she would be up for it.

Geaux Saints! Who Dat!!!

I wonder how our old coach will do in Colorado coaching the Broncos. Payton is a great coach! He led us to win the 2010 Super Bowl.

Awhile back we had a really crappy football team! I remember when the fans wore paper bags over their faces and we called out team, The Ain’ts instead of The Saints! LOL 😆.

We are die hard fans though, no
matter how our team is playing. We show up for the games!

Venting, my Mom and her 2 older sisters who raised me drank almost 0 water in a day. My Mom is now 94 and the remaining sister is 104. Their liquid intake consists of: 1 cup of coffee in the morning, 1/2 can of Coke or Sprite for lunch, and 1 can of beer or 6 oz of red wine with dinner. I finally got my Mom to drink a little sparkling water mixed in with her wine. I don't know how they do it. My Mom is still very physically active: drives to the store, cleans her house from top to bottom, gardens... I don't know how she does it with so little liquid in her. Yet she never has had kidney stones or headaches from dehydration. I call her The Silver Camel.

A reminder to us all, young and older, ourselves and LOs:

Drink more water every day. So many health issues can be prevented and alleviated by drinking more water. 😍

Well today I am officially RETIRED !! ( as opposed to re-tired) It is bittersweet for me after 26 years at Hopkins, but I think I am ready. I may go back agency after winter,, the door is open for that, but we'll see. Last week my besties from hopkins past and present had a formal tea party retirement party for me, a complete surprise and wonderful! Yesterday the ICU( i am a neuro respiratory specialist) I have worked in for the past 20 of those years gave me a party and potluck and a wonderful book of memories from the staff. Today the Respiratory department gave me a party, and I got to go home after it was over so a double win! Lots of great food, gifts from the supervisors, coworkers and the hospital itself,, spoiled I am! and so many wonderful words it made me rethink the whole thing.. LOL So many hugs and tears and wonderful memories. tonight I am relaxing and will be in bed early.. and tomorrow begins my next stage.. with a massage from DD at a spa at 10 am. Wish me luck!!

Cwillie, I have to say that whatever changes to the forum, it sucks my battery dry. Red flags that background stuff is going on and I cannot help but wonder what it really is. Specifically because we have been having so many issues that look like things besides technical issues.
