The Loft: Butches and Femmes in their 40s, 50s and over.

ksrainbow · 11-21-2009, 04:22 PM

Well, let me say this! being 50 something: I cannot say that I am the most knowldegeable nor poetic about my age! But I can attest to being my age is wonderful! (only if I knew then what I know now) kinda info! Adding a 23 yr old son to the mix has added even more of "wishes"!

It is great to be settled and sound in many ways, but 'newness' is always a venue that I admit I am attracted too! To have the ability to enjoy fresh and open thoughts and experiences etc. is what keeps me striving for knowledge! Please do share words of wisdom and adventures that willl assist me away from the 'rut' that I so easily fall into !

Precious is produced by Oprah and Tyler Perry based on the book "Push" by Sapphire.

Both coast newspapers and Rolling Stone are singing its praises. it opened in Atlanta a few days ago.

....... im hangin here about 15 miles north of Louisville KY.. into Ind.....
bored to tears.....

i been reading some postings here........ and i must say ..
it makes me wonder how I made it this far.. in my life.... heh..
and the mention of life being unfair... and just surviving... well .. tis can be all true i guess.. and i am sure i could dwell on all that myself
but ya know what.???
i am still alive..... and enjoying my life to its fullest.. despite some set backs.
its amazing how we all keep moving forward..
its not a matter of just surviving.... its a matter of living and enjoying life and things and those around you.

See, I take a different approach to that: when folks tell me I don't look at all like I'm 53, I tell them that this is what 53 looks like, not their presumption of someone looking a lot older!

ruthie14 · 09-27-2012, 07:43 PM

Well dr said, I'm not bleeding anymore so that is good. Not anemic.. .also good! Have to see a gi guy to find out what is going on however. Dr gave me another medicine to take. Hopefully this will be temporary! Went online and found out that Mom's GI is on my ins plan... YAY!!!!! he is a real peach. Will call him tomorrow to see when I can set up an appt AFTER my next payday. Too many bills!!!

I am glad you are going in Ruthie. I hope you don't take anything to cause the bleeding...like ibuprophen and plavix...i don't know if you are on plavix but, that can cause it too. i haven't had a chance to read all about it...i have been watching. worried face...i am sure that the dr's have checked to see what drugs could be upsetting or possibly causing the bleeding. I realize you aren't bleeding anymore but, good to find out why..
Not anemic is good...chrons and celiac..humm. Meaning, i doubt you have those issues because you are not anemic..phew

It may be an ulcer. I have cronic reflux (born with it) so all that extra acid could be causing the trouble. I also have celiac but have been wheat free for about 6 years, so I shouldn't be having trouble there. Of course, it could have caused damage the rest of the 40 plus years I didn't know I had it.

Anyway, got an appt for October 18th so I will find out more then. I'm sure I will end up with tests, but at least we may find out what is going on!

Have a wonderful weekend!

ruthie14 · 09-30-2012, 11:17 AM
