Hi ,
Welcome to the
NEW Put
Old on Hold newsletter which is now
the
Put
Old on Hold Journal. I've been
working on a new format for quite a while and finally developed one that works.
It has been fun, frustrating and a great form of mental gymnastics. When you
work with computer code it literally forces you to remember what you did two
seconds ago! If you discover bugs, please let me know.
WHAT'S INSIDE?
I recently spoke with Rita Alexander, founder and president of StemGenex.com and
the International Stem Cell Institute in La Jolla, California.
Rita has a fascinating story about her personal success with stem cell
treatment. Listen to the conversation - I apologize in advance for my untimely
hoarseness.
Margaret Dunning is 101 and changes the oil and
spark plugs in her 1930s Packard. Watch the video that will inspire you. It
certainly inspired me. (I don't know how to open the hood to refill the window
washer fluid. But I have tried, you understand.)
Patricia Weaver is making a documentary about the
"Children of the Greatest Generation" -- those who grew up during
World War II. I spoke with Pat about her project and
here is the link
for the conversation If you are a child of the Greatest Generation and
would like to participate in her project, Pat is eager to speak with you.
The Know-It-All Sisters, Mary Lloyd and Barbara Morris,
respond to a plea for advice from a reader known only as Damn Tired of It
(DTOI) who is damn tired of smarmy, lying, duplicitous politicians and, well --
read it for yourself. (Sister Mary is far kinder to DTOI than is Sister
Barbara.) If you have something to say to, or about DTOI, let's hear it!
Joyce Shafer has a great article on patience and
tolerance. If you are like me, you could use more of both! I love "Dr.
Joyce" and look forward to her insightful articles each month. Don't miss
them!
Liam McCurry has a new thriller you will want to
know about; Barbara
Pachter has good advice on expressing thanks; Image Architect Sandy Dumont has a
contest and an e-book to giveaway; There is a timely warning for men and women
about staying
safe when driving alone; and new research to help you live and feel better.
Financial advisors Henry Montag and Ron Roel have sound financial counsel especially
for grandparents. Henry and Ron advocate family meetings to prepare financially
for the future to avoid stress that often occurs when families don't plan
ahead.
Lura Zerick is a popular contributor, encouraging
older readers to forget about their age and enjoy being productive. Lura gets
fan mail!
Rebecca Morgan has taken a position on what many
consider "mindless" social networking activities. See if you agree. (I agree
100 percent!)
Comments are now accepted at the end of articles.
As you read articles, please let the authors know what you think. The rules are
simple: Be civil if you disagree, and do not use words that would cause your prim
and proper aged grandmother to gasp or become apoplectic.
As always, if you have questions or comments, please let me
know! I'm always happy to hear from you!
Till next month,
Barbara Morris
