  2. Online Dating over 50: How I Rescued My Sister from a Romance Scam Criminal

    Comment
    Article By Shelley Frost I didn’t want to believe it. I pretended like everything was fine. But when my sister’s online boyfriend told her to call him King and he will call her Queen, I finally accepted that she was caught in a romance scam.   Why did this little detail pull the trigger for me to begin an investigation? I was guessing that some of these scammers juggle multiple victims. The chances that he will mistakenly say the name of one of his ladies while talking to another is too risky. Having his women respond to the name Queen ensures that he won’t screw up anytime soon, and the money keeps flowing.   But at the time when I deduced her guy was a bad guy, I knew very little about...

  3. Relationships over 50: 7 surprising relationship lessons you can learn from movies 

    Comment
    Article by Dawud Gurevitch Whether you’re a filmophile, a filmophobe or somewhere in-between, movies can do much more than simply entertain us. Yes, the film industry exists primarily for this reason in exchange for our Netflix membership or our cinema ticket fee (before the pandemic) but did you realise that some movies can teach us surprising lessons about life and relationships? In this article I touch upon seven popular films that each reveal a different take on love and life in all its glory, which doesn’t mean that everything you will see and hear in them will be “sunshine and rainbows” as my wife likes to call it, but will mean that overall you get a realistic view of some of the very things we live for: love, laughter,...

  7. The Rush of the Hot Flush: Experiencing a Second Menopause when coming off HRT

    Comment
    Article by  Miriam McGuirk Menopause – The Second Time Around. At 37 I was pre-menopausal. When the true menopause finally hit me, it hit hard taking years to re-balance my body again and now, some 20 odd years later, here comes the menopause again.  Why? Because the HRT that I was relying on has been pulled away from me, my tightrope slackened, as I tackle an even bigger obstacle – Breast Cancer.   Many may not know that HRT treatment will clash with other medicines so those who have other underlying health issues may find menopause even more challenging.  When my first menopause hit, I had the symptoms many women endure and can empathise with.   In anger and desperation one night, yet again unable to sleep, I sneaked down...

  8. Let’s Face It – eternal youth does not exist: Is the beauty industry pro-age or anti-ageing?

    Comment
    Article by Denise O’Neill   When we see the term ‘anti-ageing’ presented to us with great gusto in advertising, on product labels, in magazines, in the media, and online, what exactly does it mean? The definition of ‘anti’ is to be against, opposed or resistant to something. So, why are we being conditioned to resist ageing which is a totally natural process of growth and self-evolution? Why are we being sold the myth that in order to be a complete, happy and fulfilled human being of value and beauty, we have to look young? Why do we live in a youth-oriented society? The signs of ageing – wrinkles, jowls, laughter lines, baggy eyes – come to us all as time goes on....

  9. Anita Gabrielle: The ‘Dyke in a Hat’ Raising Money For Parkinson’s Disease

    Comment
    Article by Jasmine Hodge Around 145,000 people live with Parkinson’s in the UK and it is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world. With other fifty years of research history, the condition is most understood today than it ever was. We are getting closer and closer to a cure every day; however, this is only possible with funding for life-saving research. 66-year-old singer-songwriter and self-proclaimed “dyke in a hat”, Anita Gabrielle, has spent her life fighting against obstacles put in her path as an artist, from being a woman to being gay and as an older woman in the music industry still finds her opportunities to be heard limited. However, for the Bedford based singer’s latest releases, the forthcoming EP, ‘Just Neat’ and the single, ‘Best Friends’,...

  10. Connecting: Margo Krasne in her 80s talks about the value of friendship over 50

    Comment
    By Margo T Krasne  I don’t know how many times over the last nine months—for that matter the last two years—I  have uttered the words, “What would I do without you?” I have said it to friends of long  standing. Said it to people with whom in the past I’d get together now and then but who have  come back into my life on a more regular basis. That those words turned out to be the title I  would eventually choose for my book of short stories was pure happenstance. My words weren’t  said lightly. I truly had—correction—have no idea as to how I would have gotten through these  last years if they hadn’t all been there.  You see in a few weeks, as of this writing,...
