Introduction Text Been a "Sparkie" for less than a week now but like the difference in this community. Unlike most there are folks over 50!!! Quite a lot of us. What a refreshing change. People to talk to who share some of my challenges. I'm late deafened (at age 61) and learning new skills without being able to hear music to lift me up at time is perhaps the greatest of all. We are not a military family but this is our 6 relocation together in 22 years. We're in LA now - a radical change from our time just outside Washington, DC ... But - I'm from Chicago - and darn it we're tough ... softened a bit this year with the Cubs' win of the WS!!! (Finally) Looking forward to moving forward and perhaps even meeting some "locals" here in LA IRL

Since I'm shrinking height (age related complicated by disk disease and well just a few other "gifts") I'm looking to lighten up by 30#. I want to know my husband with the "physicist arms" (aka not a muscular guy) will be able to lift me if he needs to ... and he has needed to a few times and does so with difficulty. Also my conditions will be better managed when I "downsize." ;-) Since we are the new ones in town having a supportive community is a huge step.
