I am buying myself a new laptop computer for my birthday. I have to find a way not to sit so much in front of my computer. It kills me.<br />You are far healthier than I because of your hiking and moving your body. My sister, two years younger than I, dances three times each week and is in good shape. <br />I am not a fan of leggings out in public. So many women just look awful in them, and those who do look good in them in some places, should wear a long tunic to cover their bottoms. I feel it is like wearing your underwear in public. I like jeans that fit close to the leg but not tight. I do like long tops to cover my negative spaces. I am looking for something to wear to a fancy dress wedding in January, but I don't want to wear a dress. I don't wear heels anymore and so I have decided on Palazzo pants. No one will be looking at the great aunt of the groom, but I don't want to embarrass my great nephew. Stay well and keep writing.Glenda Beallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953170428175025248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-58556789642288431072019-11-19T13:56:27.836-08:002019-11-19T13:56:27.836-08:00Happy birthday DJan!!!

I do hope you plan some special activity to celebrate your day. <br />As far as wearing leggings in public...occasionally yes, but only with a long, tunic length top. I have slender, well-muscled legs but my body always seems overly large dressed in leggings. Now if I had a tiny waist - maybe.C-ingspotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744931697050670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-12476607080473770912019-11-18T19:24:15.393-08:002019-11-18T19:24:15.393-08:00I don't wear leggings either.

I do have stretchy exercise pants, but they are not as fitted as leggings, and I only wear them at home.<br />Now that I have reached 75, I think I'll not pay much attention to birthdays either, except the ones that end in 0 or 5. I really have had very few birthday parties. Mid July birthdays are usually just another summer day. <br />Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-38838553989288192782019-11-18T10:28:25.750-08:002019-11-18T10:28:25.750-08:00I was always very nearsighted, too, so it is so we...I was always very nearsighted, too, so it is so weird after the cataract surgery to need glasses to see close up. But I need trifocals still so I still wear glasses all the time.<br /><br />Happy birthday!!!

YOu are wise to realize that trying to live a healthy life is no guarentee that you will always be healthy. We work at it, but there are no promises. I also want to see that movie. We are driving to Florida for the upcoming Thanksgiving, and maybe I will see it there.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-73914449669151393562019-11-17T21:42:58.607-08:002019-11-17T21:42:58.607-08:00I get so much junk insurance medicare stuff in the...I get so much junk insurance medicare stuff in the mail it is a waste of paper.

Doesn't seem that long ago that I was waiting to hear the results. <br />You are so right about regular exercise. I have a friend my age who exercises all the time and the she looks and acts 10 years younger. Hope you find something fun for your birthday present that makes you smile.<br />Cute picture. Your personality shines through.

You look great... so healthy and happy.<br /><br />I chose to set my cataract surgery so that I could see up close (since I'd never worn glasses before my eyes began to age and it became difficult to see up close then). But... because of that, my far vision was not as good as it used to be after cataract surgery. Thus, I wear progressive lens - and don't mind wearing glasses since I never wore them when young.<br /><br />And as for Medicare, etc. We love it. We have Medicare and a Medicare supplement - have never used an Advantage plan - but have been curious about them. Don't know what people do that don't have some sort of medical insurance. Everything is so expensive. <br /><br />And no, I haven't worn shorts (or leggings) in years... but do have yoga pants.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-14231628371354031382019-11-17T07:04:34.401-08:002019-11-17T07:04:34.401-08:00I don't wear leggings at all nor shorts, for t...I don't wear leggings at all nor shorts, for that matter.
