cosmo54 Loc: Easton, PA but will travel for photos

So far this year I have been

1. taken to emergency room for what turned out to be vertigo
2. again to ER...thought appendicitis ...was abdominal hematoma ...from coughing

And just now

3. Found out my 'sore eye' is from closed oil gland in my eyelid...need to use eyelid cleanser twice a day....who would have thought there was such a product...'SteriLid'

So there ya go....I turned 59 in August ....LOL

Cosmo, I'm 67 and I can attest, "You ain't seen nothing yet" Forgive my grammer..I ache in parts of my body I didn't know existed. I have my Dr. on Speed dial..They don't call me Wheezer for nothing.

Still... Getting older beats the crap out of the alternative.

My Grandpa used to have a line, "It's heck getting old" (only he didn't use the word heck)

Then my Mom started using.

I never quite understood what they were referring to. . . .

Now I know.

Yep... They took one bit and I lost a third of my body weight in 6 months. Fortunately, it was loosable mass.

BW326 Loc: Boynton Beach, Florida

I bought my new Hyundai Santa Fe in 2001. I had a 100,000 mile, 6 year warranty and it was the best car I ever owned.... until the warranty ran out. Then it seemed I was putting in another $500-600 every time I turned around. I started to complain that it was falling apart and was nothing but a piece of crap. But I kept the car and things started evening out. I've had it 11 years now and I'm back to believing it's the best car I ever owned.

Moral ... do the maintenance, and you'll be surprised how she holds up for you.
