How do you cope with impaired mobility?

greetings, my aging friends!

before asking you this question, i tried to do some research on the thought that 'hard work never killed anyone,' but, man, can it cripple you!

what i wanted to figure out is something better than you're getting older and tireder.. many of us have done hard physical labor most of our lives and see no prospect of retirement.

Good morning, Zoos, cultBgone, bsmart and jgnat:

Your kind and helpful words are much appreciated. THANKS!

Yes, Zoos, exercise is very important. Got to keep moving, even if slowly!

I understand what you mean about diet, cultBgone. Lots of vegetables here and no pro-food. Thanks for your commiseration!

It's good you've found a remedy, bsmart, for your condition. Something that works. !

Thankfully, your setbacks haven't hampered you, jgnat. I've always pictured you as a woman of action -- KUDOS!

Gratefully,

CoCo

Hope you get some relief, fiddler!

Getting out in nature is key to our physical and mental health. I drank it all in 2 days ago in one of our most beautiful 'hoods, but I moved like a snail (I had gotten off work and was beat).

Here's wishing you stay happy while you look for answers! Sounds like you made some good moves re: your health.

Greetings, my aging friends!

Many of us have done hard physical labor most of our lives and see no prospect of retirement. After 4 or 5 hours of work on the job, I literally hobble back to my vehicle in pain. So then, what I found online is this term "limited mobility." Is it, then, all about aging and losing our stamina? Does hard work cause inflamation in our joints?

I know what I have to do personally to cope both with physical limitations and the resultant anxiety.

Please share what you know and how you deal with 'growing old in this system of things'!

Thanks.

I was in the middle of watching an old movie when a character said that Spanish metal was no match for English mettle . . . was it "Sea Hawk"? To riddle one of those old wooden barks with sea worms must have been a curse to the seafaring folk.

Are you complicit if you stay in?

i am going to throw down the gaunlet.

those who know the truth but stay in anyways are complicit in actions of the jehovah witness organization.

while i am sympathetic to the very difficult choices that they have to make, their unwillingness to confront the jw enables the organization.. some of you may remember my story.

IF YOUR CHURCH FAILS TO ACT, WILL YOU?

"If, after making an honest investigation, you are less than pleased with what you see, do more than just complain. A journalist, while commenting on Karl Barth's statement that a church is its members, logically concluded: 'Church members . . . are responsible for what the church says and does.' So ask yourself: Am I willing to share responsibility for everything my church says and does? Can I really be proud of having all its members as spiritual brothers?"

The great poet Maya Angelou passes

her life embodied how the human spirit can rise from crushing conditions to mentor, role model and teacher.. she went mute for 5 years after being raped at the age of 9. in that time she found her inner spirit to write and speak for others.. her life course went from working in brothels to teaching in universites.

from broken home to addressing the nation at william clinton's inaugeration.. her poems touched millions of lives.

i know why the caged bird sings; on the pulse of morning; a brave and startling truth:.

went to montana, had a really good time.

flew there, drove back with a friend.

was gone eight days.

Welcome home, Hortensia!

We did miss you!

Thanks for sharing the sights -- been to a few of those spots myself, but in younger, healthier times. We can muse happily over our memories, yours more recently made than mine. It becomes a bittersweet sort of reflection as time goes by . . .

Moving furniture is, strangely, good for both body and soul.

Best.

Did the WT ever unofficially ban Kal-El?

a few years ago avatar was 'demonized' by the wt.

in reality their argument had an extreme ignorance of hinduism and a poor knowledge of modern langauge (avatar means something else nowadays.... ).

but anyway when i was growing up my parents recorded the 4 supermen movies on to video tape as they were played on tv.

Guy Pierce dissed BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN at our circuit assembly because of its theme, and a WT publication condemned E.T. because the little boy called his older brother "penis breath."
