Late summer gardening tasksI just spent a few hours in the garden today cutting back blooms and pulling up invaders in my beds ... honestly never had two of them before ... they are green leaf plants with white curly roots and tiny white flowers but are easy to pull up ... my bed was invaded with those this year and my patio with green low growing plant which send runners out and produces tiny yellow birds eye looking flowers ... sometimes I think I have been invaded from outer space because nobody know theses plantsViewDate:

Do you use vitamins and supplements?I began taking vitamins when I began a health care working for Social Services as I do not drive and was on my feet often walking from one end of town to other and I was so tired often vitamins became my need and I continued since being retired ... multi vits with iron, cod liver oil tabs 1000 mg , homeopathic anti allergy tabs and B12 1000 mg's tab to keep me fit.ViewDate:

Best classical music for all occasionsEach meet we chose a composer to listen to and learn about and this month April is American Samuel Barber and my knowledge was limited except for Adagio for Strings which is beautiful and love and was played at John Kennedy's funeral and also Roosevelt's. I now have found his Concerto for Violin and Orchestra Op 14 which I now love alsoViewDate:

How often do you wash your bed sheets?I change my sheets every week and wash them as it makes me feel better. As a girl I remember the wonderful feeling getting into a freshly changed bed ... true then sheets were pure cotton of instead today half have other things in .. non iron stuff etc. I still have some pure cotton sheets and feel the same ... smileViewDate:

Best classical music for all occasionsI belong to my local u3a university of third age which is for those ceasing work or retired so there is life out there.after all and run a music appreciation group on Friday afternoons in my home and today we did Rachmaninoff and it was great as we all 6 there enjoyed some lovely pieces of his music. Music gives me pleasure and classical music reaches me deep down ... next month it is Tchaikovsky ... smileViewDate:

Should 'wet wipes' be banned?Excuse me badgersden I think you are being very rude and personal with your comments as you do not know me. An apology would be nice. I am sure somebody or a company will eventually invent biodegradable / disposable wipes seeing as they cause such a worry ... as it is all do with money in the world. I wonder if condoms would get such a reaction ... I will stop thereViewDate:

Should 'wet wipes' be banned?Funny that Jean as I only pay £1 for my face wipes from local pound shop and often my local superrnarket sells baby wipes for same price and you know what I always read the back of the packs and often find they state do not flush but bin no matter what you say., Thanks for all the info .... am sure many will appreciate itViewDate:

Should 'wet wipes' be banned?I first discovered baby wipes when I moved to USA when married to my ex as he used them ... personal hygiene he claimed and so as I had problems I began to use them and that was 40 yrs ago and I have never flushed them down the loo ... people who do that must be lacking intelligence as it clearly says no on the packet. My health is important to me so I shall keep using them ... I now use wipes to clean make up off also but it still goes into the waste basket then rubbish bin ... smileViewDate:

Everything you need to know about macular degenerationMy 95 yrs old mother was told she has the dry one so no injection needed ... and she drove till recently when she moved back to town where she lived before and I do.,,,, so no driving now. She is finding it hard to accept the change in her lifestyle having driven for so long but like everyone else there comes a time when driving stops. Fortunately she does listen to me her oldest childViewDate:

Is “old” an age or an attitude?It is an attitude ... my mother 95 still had thoughts when she was much older ... and I do and I am 72 so there is still life at home . Attitude keeps you young .... even so I look at myself and think where have the years gone so am aware of aging ... it is the spirit which rules ... it is true not everyone has a strong spirit. I worked in care so saw many levels of aging ... blessViewDate:

Glenn Close: People forget older women are still sexyInteresting it takes an actress to highlight women still being sexy when older .... of course women can still be attractive and sexy as it built in to our bodies. ... it is the mind that dictates. Men are notorious for still be sexy when older ... ... we are like animals it is nature ... smileViewDate:

Silversurfers Dating SiteWell I have pipped you to the post as I took out a 3mos sub for silversurfersdating .com in good faith and found I was wasting my time messaging males with perfectly reasonable messages as only 2 replied and the rest did nothing. One wanted to exploit my sexual instincts went on holiday then backed off saying he was mending things with a previous female ... the other politely told me we had nothing in common yet the site said he was 70% compatible with me. After some thought I read the small print and was disgusted as obviously those on one of the other sites could not reply ... they are linked with 12 other sites ....... thelovelab.co.uk. dating.telegraph.co.uk, encountersdating.co.uk, dating .classicfm.co.uk , www.sagadating, datingbelfast telegraph.co.uk, datingweekly.co.uk,datingwomanandhome.com, dating.womansweekly.com, www.primaloves.co.uk, www.countryloving.co.uk,www.mysinglefriend.com, So now I will avoid all those sites so perhaps they did me favour ... either way I complained told them to cancel my sub after I canceled the renewal and delete my profile after I deleted my photos. as I felt badly let down as when I joined it was not made clear to me about all the other sites. I felt deceived and they did as I asked .... sad fact is many others will find the same problemViewDate:

What does ageing gracefully mean to you?When I was at school I was asked what age do you consider to be old and I said 90 ... sure enough my mother is now 95 and looks 75 and she aged naturally and I am 72 ... boring I look 15 yrs younger in reality so perhaps I am aging gracefully ... I am enjoying my life and no longer afraid or lack confidence .... no means yes nowadays as I can do it ... and my zest for life excels ... smileViewDate:

Would you like to see same-sex couples dancing on Strictly?The suggestion is wrong as hetrosexual dancers will be required to dance with gays or lesbians which puts them in a very difficult position professionally. Like everything in this life .... there will always be someone who wants to push the boundaries out ... boring The show will loose it's magic and viewersViewDate:

What Will Be The Main Features of Charles' Kingship? - [DELETED_MEMBER]I think you might all get a nice surprise one day as our Queen is very wise and structure through the royal family is essential .... just be grateful we have moved on from previous times ... oops ! Of course Charles will be king as it is his role in life since his birth .... and I doubt Camilla wants to be queen as she too is wise deep down. Has been done before ... some things in life are mean't to happen albeit they may be very painful but that is life.ViewDate:

6 ways owning a pet can benefit your health5 yrs ago I was left to help look after my father as his life went towards his end and at constant call by mother ... sometimes I went without my dinner at night as I was at my parents as it was a long road. My son rang just before Halloween to ask if I could look after a cat which had turned up at his work at army base and got through the 3 perimeters and was in the centre ring with killer dogs on the prowl ... so I said yes. That cat I named Tinker was used to being allowed all the wrong things and I had a cat for 20 yrs before so knew how to look after them. I know it made me feel better as it was a very difficult time but I felt calmer with Tinker in my home and talked to him when I needed ... I was no longer alone and felt I had a friend .... he is devoted to me now and I to him.ViewDate:

Predictions proved correct as William and Kate announce third pregnancyI have concluded they will quote polls too many times now in the press ... they seem to have removed the option to read daily newspapers from bbc home page at moment ... I wonder why. As far as I am concerned it is good news ... better her than me ... being sick was no funViewDate:

Predictions proved correct as William and Kate announce third pregnancyI agree Wilf it is lovely news and it will be something positive to look forward to in future .... there is something warm and comforting when babies are born ....... honestly the flaming papers with their gutter press claiming there is uproar against if from young women ....

Will the Great British Bake Off survive on Channel 4?Like all things it takes time for the flowers bloom . ... it pretty well stayed on course with the previous series but I expect like everyone else feels it will take time to get used to the new staff ... smile Paul will be in his element and Pru is known to be wise ... I like Sandi and am not sure about Noel but he will learn as I too became bored with the attitude in the last series too much political licence,in the end. The bakers seem a bit nervous at momentViewDate:

What does ageing gracefully mean to you?Am a lucky girl as my mother is 95 and looks 75 and I follow suit ... am 72 and look years younger in the flesh so am told often enough ... smile It does tend to be about the genes and not the ones we wear but are born with .... am so grateful for mine as it keeps me going after a difficult life ... smileViewDate:

6 ways grandparents can help their grandchildren reach the top of the classI have always enjoyed a good relationship with my grandson and will with my other new ones too.
