Today, let’s take a look at how weight-loss drugs are marketed in the U.S. as a way to lower healthcare costs, and whether they really deliver on those lofty promises. What if you could lose a few pounds with simple injections under your skin? Sounds...

I've mentioned my husband's sister a few times on this blog. She is a year older than me, never leaves the house without being totally put together (no throwing on sweats and schlepping up to Walmart for her). She's into yoga, manifesting things from...

Meatless Monday??? (Yeah, I sort-of gave it a whirl)

I was victimized by the glamorous world of Facebook reels. If you have read this blog for a while, you've read my confession that I end up down those rabbit holes.  I especially like to watch cooking videos on Facebook and I really like reality TV co...

I Got Squirreled..... (I know it's really not an excuse....)

I wish I had a really awesome story to tell you about why I haven't blogged in a long time. I don't, really. It's not to say that some challenging events have not happened.... they have... but I won't blame life for my lack of blogworthiness.   I thi...

The Summer of DOG..... (how's that workin' for ya?)

23 Jul 2024 8 minute read 0 comments 7th Decade Redhead

I know I have been among the missing in this blogosphere in the last month or so. Occupational hazard of being back up in Northern New England at our summer camp and being busy. The weather up here was unseasonably warm in June, mid-eighties and very...

In case you were wondering where I went.....

I have not dropped off the face of the earth.  I just got back from a three-week bicycle tour in Europe. We rode our tandem recumbent bicycle from Prague, Czechia to Budapest, Hungary over 17 riding days, covering about 600 miles and riding through f...

Hiatus Here I Come (How do you say "diet" in Czech?)

It's T-minus one day until we head out on another cycling adventure of a lifetime. We are flying to Europe and then we will be visiting five countries over the course of the next three weeks on a bicycle built for two. We are flying our nine-foot-lon...

There's a Lot to be Said About Looking Like an Idiot (Kids are wiser than we are....)

This past weekend I had the opportunity to visit my son and his family. He has two daughters, who are three years old and five years old. They are joyful, fun-loving, energetic and very tiring kids (in a good way), and we love them to death. The olde...

It's Okay to be Wrong (Step 1 of learning)

18 Apr 2024 8 minute read 3 comments 7th Decade Redhead

In the early days of our relationship, my husband used to say, "I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken." After 40 years of togetherness, I don't hear him say that anymore.  Why? Because he's old enough and wise enough to realize that if you a...

My New Go-To Dessert for Gatherings (ANYONE can make this)

13 Apr 2024 4 minute read 1 comment 7th Decade Redhead

I've mentioned before that I can easily get sucked into the world of Facebook and Instagram reels which offer a lot of dietary information, most of which I tend to ignore because you really can't trust what people are saying when their goal is gainin...
