The tribulations and joys of the sixth (or is it seventh? Saturday, January 7, 2012. I'm so happy.except when I'm not. Can a person be happy and uhappy at the same time? Especially when that person is happily married to the kindest, most generous man on earth and has two lovely and talented daughters, both married to men who cherish them, and twin grandwons who make her beam with love? Even when she lives in a spacious townhome in an very nice suburb? Sundays are the worst ―. I get into a slump. I te...

Suddenly Sixties: Fershtay*?
http://suddenlysixties.blogspot.com/2010/08/fershtay.html
The tribulations and joys of the sixth (or is it seventh? Wednesday, August 25, 2010. My Yiddish is returning in my old age—although I never knew it much in the first place. Growing up, I understood enough Yiddish to realize that my mother was talking about me to one of her sisters or that she was discussing something that my youthful ears weren’t supposed to hear. I could usually get a good idea of the subject matter with the handful of words I knew. Describe the situation so much better than. My husban...

I too am glad to be alive and well, and I hope to spend this new decade with happiness, good health, and creativity. It's good to have gotten to this point in life. I'm painfully aware that not everyone makes it. Here's the good news:.

The tribulations and joys of the sixth (or is it seventh? Thursday, February 16, 2012. Decluttering for the next decade. This is the time of year for article upon article on decluttering. An entire. Maybe cleaning out my mother's condo when she died in 2005 helped me realize that I wouldn't want my kids to go through my things after I'm gone and ask, "What in the world did she keep this for? Now I'm buying the larger sizes and vowing to keep them in the back of my closet if (rather,. My Yiddish is return...

The tribulations and joys of the sixth (or is it seventh? Monday, October 17, 2011. There are a bunch of petty annoyances that don’t matter much in the larger scheme of life but that I enjoy complaining about anyway:. They know perfectly well that nobody, except a bored attorney, will read all 35 pages. So you just click "I agree" and hope that it doesn't come back to bite you. So far, so good. But it is annoying. And two-ply, please. I complained to Chase, where I bank, and they made a change in my prof...

Suddenly Sixties: Take my word for it
http://suddenlysixties.blogspot.com/2011/07/take-my-word-for-it.html
The tribulations and joys of the sixth (or is it seventh? Monday, July 18, 2011. Take my word for it. Taking advice from health experts who remind us to learn new things to keep our brains supple, I have acquired—but, alas, not learned—a number of new words by playing Boggle. That is, I’ve exclaimed “That’s a word? Ain, ait, alt, ane, ava, dan, del, dev, het, lev, oda, ora, ree, ret, tae, ted, taw, tew, tun. Ain: a Scottish word for. Or the 18th letter of the arabic alphabet. Tae: a Scottish word for.

The tribulations and joys of the sixth (or is it seventh? Thursday, October 6, 2011. Four useless eyes and a phantom spider. You would think with two of us in the house—and one of us (not me) nearly 4 years younger than the other—one of us would have decent eyesight. It's not the case. Last night, just as I was about to turn out the lights and try to sleep, I looked over to see my spouse staring up at the ceiling. I asked, a little fearfully. There's something up there.". Get rid of it," I pleaded. I hav...

The tribulations and joys of the sixth (or is it seventh? Tuesday, December 13, 2011. I think I can hear some people saying "We got along fine for most of our lives without cell phones! She would come downstairs. So where in the world is my phone? By the way, don't try calling it. I had T-Mobile suspend my service for now, lest some unscrupulous person rack up charges for calls to far-away places. Before I give up and buy a new phone, I'm going to keep looking.

The tribulations and joys of the sixth (or is it seventh? Wednesday, December 21, 2011. Seeking advice, or confirmation? I'm a life-long advice junkie. You'd think that at my advanced age—face it.it's advanced in the eyes of the Millenials—I would trust my accumulated knowledge and not have to seek so much wisdom from magazine articles and online forums. You'd think wrong. Never mind that, much of the time, I read these articles and think, "I knew that! Some of my favorite information sources are—. Vibra...
