    Is there a quick fix for drooping eyelids?

    Eyelash extensions You could also go and get eyelash extensions applied and then you don't have to put on makeup in the morning. There is no recovery like with permanent make-up and they last several weeks.

    Botox?

    Botox I tried botox and hated it! Botox made my lids sag. It got rid of wrinkles but my friends said I looked really tired. I hate to spend $500. to look tired. If you hate wrinkles, I would recommend you see your dermatologist. There are lots of options these days including peels, fraxel...

    I'm trying contacts for the 1st time ever--help!

    Contacts I think the key to contacts is in the fit. Soft contacts are much easier to get used to than hard. I wear the two week soft disposables and have for years. I remember trying several types before I got the right one. I really encourage you to go back to your eye doctor and tell...

    Next Step

    thanks for the response Thanks for the response Aquajock. I do indeed have Low Max and I like it a lot. Those blasts are challenging for me. I do like the idea of KPC. I do not have a stability ball. Is that needed for that one or can you modify without it?

    son's wedding - what gift to give

    son's wedding We sent our son and his wife on their honeymoon. We did help with the cost of the wedding and sent them something from their registry. The gift that seemed to mean the most though was an heirloom from our family with a letter welcoming the bride to our family.

    Advice

    Low Impact Circuit Yes, Low Impact Circuit is my favorite. I like both the weights and cardio on that. The band work is great. The recommended weights are not all that heavy either. Any other suggestions?

    Thanks so much for the suggestions. I will have to ask about hospice in his case. He hasn't been told he has 6 months or less to live. One doctor (not his own) suggested hospice...but no other doctor has confirmed it. He doesn't like care givers for many reasons....The caregivers we had...
