After 30 years of asking his girlfriend to marry him, a British man finally got the answer he was waiting for: yes! Chris Green, 75, and Ann Turn...
I've lost 50 pounds in the past year, and it's just plain hard. I'm not on any special diet, I don't have a personal trainer, and I'm terrified every minute that I'll backslide like I have in the past.
I bit the bullet. And like a cowboy tipping his hat astride his trusty horse, I am turning down the dusty trail and galloping into... no, not the sunset. The sunrise.
Not everything in life is a 'given.' We can never say with complete certainty that we'll be in the same job, relationship, home, or state of health, as we are right now. Life is fraught with change -- both wanted and unwanted, good and bad. This is especially true for those of us who are being squeezed into that sandwich between our children, aging parents, and everything else that life has to offer.
A myth, as inaccurate and dangerous as any that pervades American society, is that women enter menopause as if falling off a cliff.
I'm following traveling carnivals from coast to coast for a year, writing essays about America from the road.
A secret code helped 81-year-old Cynthia Riggs and 90-year-old Howard Attebery find love. Riggs told CBS News Friday that she and Attebery met 60 y...
In this morning's version of Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks," the diner is a Gary, Indiana truck stop and the patrons are cross-country truckers.
My daughter turns eight-years-old this weekend and I want to be home for the celebration so I began making plans to leave my New York carnival a couple days ago.
Being single again at this stage of my life doesn't thrill me, but that's not what's keeping the sandman at bay.
Did I look like an American drifter? Am I one of them? Should I be flattered or just find a laundromat?
It goes without saying that the post 50 job-seeker has plenty of experience. Nevertheless, although you're an applicant of maturity, you won't want to market your experience level as the cornerstone of your job search. Employers have issues that need to be dealt with, projects to complete, and problems that have to be resolved now.
The wind blew a small tornado of tumbleweeds onto the parking lot of the Motel 6 along the old Route 66 in Moriarity, NM. So many tumbleweeds it blocked the entrance to the parking lot and made parking impossible before someone from the hotel came out to clear the lot.
By the time we made it to a rest stop and a McDonald's in Van Buren, Arkansas I was sick of the Grateful Dead.
For me retirement means giving up. Half a life. The past dominates and the future is lifeless. UNLESS, you take on a new project, something you've never done before. Something that stimulates you mentally and physically. Dancing (ballroom), Swing, Latin, Tango, language (foreign), art, musical instrument, Yoga (any level), cooking.
When the digital image opened on my computer screen, I saw a face I hadn't seen for half my life -- my mother's.
You're a big person now. It's time to sign a "Momtract" for Mother's Day. So what if you've grown up? Mama is getting on, too, and she deserves your s...
It's got breathtaking beauty, but Oregon is no place to live out the golden years, a new study says. The Beaver State ranked as the worst place to ...
After a 30-year relationship, a World War II veteran and his girlfriend are proving that it's never too late to tie the knot. Eighty-eight-year-old...
He wears conventional, thick brown glasses along with a Mohawk hair cut, white-hallow earlobe rings, a septum ring, metal piercings on his lips and chin, and tattoos on his nose and chin. Yet his face is a work in progress.
Teenagers don't listen anyway, right? Maybe it's a good thing because the advice we offer them is probably time-warped flawed. When I think back to all the things my mother used to say to me five decades ago, only one kernel still rings of the truth. It was when she said, 'You need to make your own mistakes. Just please try not to make the same ones I did.'
A staggering 57 million Americans are affected by osteoporosis and low bone mass, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF). Half of all women (and one in four men), will break a bone due to this disease. But guess what? By making a few lifestyle changes -- like exercising and eating the right foods --it can be prevented.
After a 40-year separation, two long-lost friends have finally reunited -- but now, they're more than friends. They're husband and wife. João Cris...
"They're bad for the environment!" "They can't be recycled!" "They will cause your arches to collapse!" I began to see cruel Facebook posts about them. One particularly heartbreaking one went something like this: "Wow, that's a nice looking pair of Crocs. Said No One Ever."
The L.A.-Chicago route which also was called "America's Main Street," is literally the main street in Moriarity, New Mexico. It runs parallel to Interstate 40, which I am hitchhiking today.
