Old Woman's Blues

Yep I realized that I am an OLD Woman.  Gosh, by some folks I am not but by much younger ones, well, I am OLD!

All my ways of doing things are outdated! Really, since when did white vinegar get thrown out as a cleaner. Well, by the makers of the more caustic new cleaners on the market. They all smell and drive my allergies wild and get my asthma all fired-up. A small dish of apple cider vinegar is the cheapest way to keep bad smells out of your house, just put it in a small microwave safe dish and warm it for about 5 seconds and let it sit on top of your stove and the whole house smells divine. No over-powering perfumes scents like those in the reed diffusers. Please!! It seems that I am out of the loop as I do not own any of those nor do I desire to spend the money on them either.

Can't go to a lot of the private clubs for dinner or entertainment either. Many still allow smoking and it hits you in the face when you walk in the door. How about where the smokers are allowed to stand outside the front door so you can walk through their smoke to get in to eat or make a purchase. Do donut shops all draw cigarette smokers??  Or, do they all go to the donut shops because the cholesterol is also calling their hearts to have the donuts too??

Why does a doc give you a paper and tell you to go and buy the product for your TMJ and it will help your facial and jaw pain and that same MD then says you can find these at any store! Ha! Ha! No pharmacy has them. So you, being still computer savvy, even at your old age, go home and start searching on the internet. Well, when you find the phone number of the people who make the appliance the doc says you must have and they answer their phoneand tell you they  that because you are already using a Sleep Apnea Mask, you can not use their appliance and that the doctor should know that and also he should know that it has to be written as a prescription. Now, remember kids, I am an Old Woman and this was and MD and do you think I want to go back to him. Nope, don't trust his medical expertise and here I am an old person who needs doctors more than young people. Got to wonder what else this doc would recommend that is wrong for you and how many other doc's are making the same mistake!!!
As I am OLD, I worry about when my mind finally goes and there is no one to speak for me. Really frightening I can tell you. What are Old people to do, just croak do to medical errors and no one is the wiser? Be warned, it will happen to all of you, OLD age! there is no such thing as getting younger. Maybe, your body starts that by you needing adult diapers.  It happens and happens to more adults that want their kids to knwo about it. Eventually the kids discover it on their own but by that time the old folks have been using those things for some time.
