I keep reading about how no one wants their parents’ or grandparents’ possessions upon their death. That everything that they collected and everything that was precious to them has no value to family upon their death. What are the odds that children and grandchildren will want their parents’ or grandparents’ possessions? According to a study by 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, and apparently there is such a thing, nearly half of Americans (48% to 49%) would rather inherit nothing at all

A friend in his mid 80's sent an article, “ The Truths of Getting Old,” by Richard David Hames, on Substack, to a friend in her 60s. He didn’t send it to me. I think it was because I am reaching the decade of the 80s, and he perceived that it would be too difficult for me to read. My friend in her 60s sent me the article and asked me several times if I had yet read it yet and what did I think? Yes, “adding life to years” requires planning many decades earlier! What I lo

I have been very lucky. I have a cousin who is a gastroenterologist. My husband called him at home at 7 AM on a Sunday morning with a new strange symptom that concerned him, which my cousin later said he immediately suspected was pancreatic cancer. Unfortunately, my cousin has retired. We had a conversation prior to his retirement where I told him I have a two week rule. If some new symptom or sign in my body that was not there before persists for two weeks, I would usuall

I wanted this blog to help new grandparents and new parents maneuver these life passage events. This is one of my favorite blog posts. It contains one of my most important tips! Parents of a second child can use this tip too! Returning to Fort Lauderdale on Jet Blue, our preferred carrier between New York and Florida, a young father (and they are looking younger and younger to this Grandma) was walking up and down the aisle with an adorable baby boy, almost eight months old

A few nights ago, the booming thunder and crashing lightning right above my head made me feel like Chicken Little believing “the sky is falling,” like the song "It's the End of the World as We Know It . In my near eight decades on this earth, I never felt anything like it. The sound of the pounding rain on my Fort Lauderdale home was intense. Visibility was nil. The torrential rains seem stronger and seem to drop huge amounts of water harder and faster than our fragile eart

I’m reading a book, “The Book Club for Troublesome Women,” by Maria Bostwick. I would say it is about being a 1960s married woman. I have come to the part in the book where all the four women seem to hate their husbands. Hate is the word that the author uses. I’d like to use the words “seriously unhappy” in their marriages. I know that it the same for both sexes, there are times in a committed relationship, or marriage, where a man will seem to hate the woman in the marriag

Friday, September 11, 2026 is when we acknowledge the twenty fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on our beloved country. This year, September 11 is also the Jewish New Year holiday of Rosh Hashanah when we Jews begin the year 5787 in the Jewish calendar. I just read an article that proposes that Judaism has survived thousands of years because it has so many more dimensions than just religion. In Judaism, tzedakah, giving or charity, which also means “justice” or “ri
