Musings for Friday - Male Menopause aka Late-onset Hypogonadism aka Andropause (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is male menopause a real thing? Well, yes and no. Seriously, it depends on how you define it. Hormone changes related to aging in men are different from those in women. Understand the signs, symptoms and treatments. Hormone changes are a natural part of aging. But they differ between men and women. In women, reproductive hormones drop dramatically. In men, the drop in hormone levels happens slowly. Here’s what you need to know. The term “male menopause” has been used to describe decreasing testo
Musings for Friday - December 7, 1941 or September 11, 2001? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twenty-five years after, how was society viewing the horrors of those days? December 7, 1966 and 11 September, 2026. What’s the difference that you see? I was nine in 1966 and I’m 69 now, and my perception is that 11 September 2001 (9/11 as we have short-handed it) has scarred us more significantly than 7 December ever did. And IMHO, that’s backwards. Part of my perception is proximity and my greater awareness of the intervening years of the catastrophe of 9/11 compared to December 7th. But ther
Musings for Friday - Middle Names. Do You Have One? Do You Use It? Or, Do You Have More Than One Middle Name? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I happen to use a variation of my middle name as the name I go by and that everyone calls me. I go by Tony, but my name is Anthony. Some people would say Tony is my nickname. However they want to explain it or call it, Tony is my name. It’s not like I go by Bubba. There are many names that have derivative names associated with them, such as Richard. How many variations can we name all of those before we become one of them? How about William? Will and Bill are probably the best known of these but
Musings for Friday - Did You Know That “The Family Circle/Circus” Is Still Being Written and Printed? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes most of us have a hankering(look it up, it’s a word) for nostalgia. Often for things we thought were long gone. Maybe our favorite Ice Cream Shop from our youth. Or maybe certain rock groups or songs that mean something personally. Or sometimes it’s just a quip that’s still funny even today, 30, 40 or maybe even 50 years after we first recall seeing it. The Family Circus is one of those comics that I still bring up in conversation. Usually it’s where the parents are asking the kids abo
Musings for Friday - Question For The Old Farts. How Many of You Were Recently Issued a New Medicare Card? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was supposed to take effect on my birthday. Now, I have BCBS Medicare Advantage. (I’m not here to debate my choice). Almost all of my medical providers use the BCBS Member ID number so, at the time I wasn’t too concerned. But the last week I received a notice from one provider that the claim had been denied. Two things were on the notice, the code for the service and second was my old Medicare Member ID number. The service was provided four days after my birthday.At first we thought the reaso
