Sun Protection

Tis the season for sun protection. I was not aware of a difference between sun block and sun screen. The sun block works immediately and the sun screen needs to be on for 1/2 hour to reach the strength to work. It needs to be reapplied every two hours also. The other very important item to protect are your eyes. Without correct sunglasses and a sun hat would be very helpful too, eye damage happens just like skin damage. Un-protected eyes can get cateracts and macular degeneration much easier, than protected eyes.

The 45 to 60ish stomach

Good day! Thank you for stopping by. I am wondering if anyone in their middle age that has acquired the middle age belly bulge, has found a way to get rid of it. Most of the things I read on this subject, or pictures of people in magazines on the subject are younger women. That is when I had no stomach. My feeling on the subject is it has to do with depleting hormones. I am not interested in taking hormones so that would not be an option. Just about every friend I have at my age (50 or so), is experiencing this new stomach they didn't use to have. I realize there are some women who never have this problem and I am very happy for them. If anyone out there has a trick to shrink the belly, please post a comment.

Have a great day! Sandy

Boomers hearing

Recently I have been reading they estimate 15% of baby boomers suffer some hearing loss. They blame the rock and rolls years and other things such as; we were the first generation to have these loud noises on a regular basis. Gas lawn mowers, chain saws and noisy traffic. There will be many of us getting hearing aids, more so than any previous generation. It would be nice if we had a universal type of health coverage as many European countries have. Many more people in Europe have hearing aids because they are paid for by the government.

Gas saving ideas

Everyday I hear someone talking of the recent gas prices. I am lucky to work a few miles from home and drive a relatively frugal gas drinker. There are some websites that can help with this problem affecting so many! www.gasbuddy.com, www.edmunds.com/advice/fueleconomy/articles/106842/article.html, http://www.aaaorid.com/news/gas_prices.asp

Keeping the car tuned, the tires filled with air and a clean air filter will help some.
