Hi Tina & Norm can’t agree more with all your advice I’ve got a check up on Thursday and I’m pleased you are getting back on the road. Take care .Regards. Christopher Barker
Tina, eliminate grains and sugar from your diet and maybe even dairy products and you will eliminate the inflammation that is causing your hands to swell. I only have pain if I have eaten too many grains or carbohydrates--which add glucose to your system and cause inflammation in joints.
We have eliminated grains and sugars for a long time, at the moment for the last two months we have eaten low carb. Thanks Jennifer for your suggestions.
@@ThisIsOurRetirement Turmeric helped me a lot. You can either add 1/4 C turmeric to 1/4 c cacoa in hot water with pepper (or turmeric isn't as effective). It is a tasty chocolate drink and I do this often, but most times I just take turmeric supplements with pepper and olive oil. All organic, though. Added benefit, it has tamed my ulcerative colitis as well. I so hope this helps you as well, Tina!
I took tumeric for years, and it was great, but then it started causing heartburn. MSM and horsetail are my current options..... Horsetail in the morning, MSM before bed.
I watch you two each week as I am maybe three years away from my retirement. I am coming up with travel ideas myself. I am a list maker and enjoy researching because I find unexpected places of intetest. Keep up your posts because it opens up the possibilities.
It's not an accident that they closed all the normal social venues but left liquor stores open! I'm so glad you realized you were letting it get the best of you and and stopped. I have a lot of alcohol related problems in my family and it can be devastating if not dealt with properly.
I avoided the alcohol temptation, but went far too hard on the eating! Now dealing with that excess, and it is a lot harder to get rid of the pounds than it was to gain them!
Good points as always. On the medical front, I'd add getting a head to toe skin exam by a dermatologist. I started (at wife's urging) a year ago and had a few pre-cancerous spots "frozen off" (in office). When I went back this year, I had another 3-4 of 'em and one basal cell cancer that's easily treated (MOHS procedure) when caught early but tends to recur.
Hi Tina&Norm, I enjoy your tips! If you remember we are in the rainy damp NW of UK. We have thought many times of "living somewhere with a better climate" and I now I am in at retirement age but decided to keep working - keep the grey matter going and keep exploring the history and geography around us. I think the pandemic taught us to appreciate what we have around us as much a those "remote" holiday places. This weekend we revisited Peveril Castle after many years - it was magnificent (to us). We realized we had missed so many things...so the motto is "keep exploring". PS Of course it rained at one point like crazy but looking across the grand vistas had its magic. By the way a saying I heard in Switzerland (I lived there for a large part of my life) - "There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad preparation"
What a wonderful comment Mauro we grew up in NW England so know what the weather can be like. We too enjoy history and architecture and there is nothing wrong with exploring locally. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Thanks for the tips! Getting back into the habit of getting annual medical exams is especially challenging. Our doctors' personalities changed over the pandemic. It was a really difficult time for all of them, too.
Thank you both for your videos which I watch regularly!😊✌️ Can I ask a question? My last 2 family doctors tell me they don’t do regular physical examinations, rather they treat symptoms… to me, it seems that it is not proactive towards health -it’s rather reactive after somebody has suffered a health issue. Is this normal for family doctors now???
I thought Norm looked like he had shed some weight. Good for you. I am sure that the booze business never feels pain during stressful times. You are right on about getting back out there after Covid. Thank you for your inspiration.
Full confessions 😇😂💕 You are too sweet.... We Canadians, we had it harsh...beside the winter... Now I try to know all the people...not only friends, friends come & go.... I try to listen to people, random people because I understood once for all time...the most valuable asset on the planet is you & I.....people are the most precious asset....that you cannot, buy, sell or stock. Hugs & kisses to you
Enjoy "Sweet Home Alabama". I've spent time in Huntsville and Birmingham. Both cities were fun and the people are very friendly! Another great video! Stay happy and healthy! ✈😄🌻
Another video filled with valid wise points of interest. The big one I have noticed is becoming social again. Picking up the social interaction with people who have been in the shadows during the pandemic. It has come to my attention that due to the various thoughts people had on vaccination, the pandemic restrictions and related issues that relationships have become strained. How to bridge that cap and come together again on a level social footing. I've tried to stay neutral, respecting people's views - unfortunately some people were and are still very 'het up' about so many things it is hard to pick up the thread, especially as many have been keeping themselves isolated or verbally overactive. I do realize not all friendships are for ever, it just highlights the differences which have surfaced due to the whole situation. Your point on drinking, well done to you both ! I've not had an eat to excess problem due to the extra walking we did to amuse ourselves and stay active. A benefit instead of a negative. We have been lucky so far. I'll stay vigilant but not consumed by fear. Life is there to live and enjoy. The 5 weeks France was wonderful and I've had 2 from the 3 months in New Zealand now, with Australia coming up next week. Happy days and be well. You do a great job informing and encouraging many. 🙏 👍 🇳🇱 🙋♀ 🇳🇿
Wow Anita what a great comment discussing the reinstating of social contact with friends and family and all the problems that coming with that thanks for sharing it so well . So glad you are enjoying your time away and next stop Australia 🇦🇺 that’s wonderful being vigilant but not consumed with fear ❤️have a great weekend Cheers 🇳🇱🍷🇨🇦☕️🍁
I've found since the pandemic that some of my friendships have been harder to resume, in the way that they seemed to function formerly, due to some friends being unwilling to use public transport and also it seems to me they have opted to move into online hobby and interest pursuits. It appears that they no longer make the time or raise obstacles to meeting and spending time face to face. Fortunately it does not apply to all my friendships and it probably is a signal that I need to actively pursue some new interests where I can meet new people. I'm moving house again, four years after a house move, and it is to a part of Ireland I visit frequently and love and it is an opportunity to work on this aspect of my life .I have a number of creative interests including reading which help to sustain me. Enjoy your content which is always well structured and very balanced.
Sounds great Ellie we have driven through the Rockies we did an RV road trip from Toronto to Vancouver it is beautiful out there , it’s great having a trip to look forward to Cheers ☕️🍁
Great suggestions guys, especially the drinking, travelling and investing ideas. We are going on a cruise late December into January. My wife turns 65 in January and we just booked a villa near Malaga, and all 3 of our grown children and spouses plus new grandchild will be joining us. First time we’ll all be together since well before lockdown. It’s so important to have events planned for the future to keep you excited and motivated, and so helpful for your mental health. Enjoy Alabama. Cheers.
That sounds wonderful we hope you have a wonderful time, Norm surprised me ( Tina ) with a trip to Niagara Falls for my 65 th we had a lovely time , we are so looking forward to Alabama Cheers 🇺🇸☕️🇨🇦
Your videos are getting better and better, kudos to you both, the topics are totally original and I'm enjoying my pre-retirment watching you. I'm 60 and my last day of work will be in 3 yrs. Time. Yahoo. I'm a truck driver and I'm considering au tube
Thank you for sharing, dear Tina and Norm❣️ We can so relate to y’all about the drinking (became a hobby of sorts during pandemic shut in!), and the need to socialize more. Excited to see your pics of Alabama! There’s lots of beauty there: old pretty homes in Mobile, space stuff in Huntsville… What other points in between will y’all hit? Same here on needing to catch up on the med tests and shots. Y’all could be our twins! Lol! Yep the arthritis is a bummer, hope the copper bracelet helps. We’re planning to do a short cruise in Nov and then full time RVing soon. Y’all’s videos have helped motivate us! Have a great trip and be safe. God bless and ❤ from Texas! 🇺🇸🌸🇨🇦
Very good points. While resuming travel, still need to be conscious about the virus. A friend of mine took Alaska cruise in August and caught Covid, despite having 2 booster shots. Her symptoms have gone away in 2 weeks' time, but loss of tastes persists.
Sorry your friend caught Covid especially after having been vaccinated, we agree although back travelling you need to take precautions washing hands, wearing masks 😷 etc to protect yourself Ian . Have a great week Cheers 🍻
I recently moved to Alabama from Chicago. Huge difference. However, I have found that Alabama is a beautiful state and I love the people. If you end up in the Shoals area I would love to host you for a day or two in the week days only because I do work on weekends. You two are so informative and your personalities, are so much fun. Enjoy your travels and best of adventures to you.
We quit drinking in 1995. The health and financial benefits have been great. I was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. What I am trying is cutting out our processed carbs. Intermittent fasting, exercise, drink water, and more of a keto diet. I am gaining strength and feel it is helping cope with the pain.
Your comment about needing to have something interesting to talk about when socializing is so true. However, I'm not sure that travel tales are the answer, since if the other person doesn't have a chance to travel, it just creates envy. Or they may not approve of your travel style or choice of destination. But I do think that making pleasant conversation is a lost art, like social dancing. I think it has mostly to do with being light-hearted rather than heavy, and with telling amusing stories about ordinary life and shared interests. I guess we all look to the media for entertainment, rather than each other. Just my opinion, but it's not a time to brag, to vent, to discuss serious topics like the terrible state of the world, to gossip, or discuss personal issues. However those are old fashioned ideas, and both parties have to agree to these unwritten rules.
We were making a point about having experiences make for interesting conversations amongst friends, it doesn’t have to be travel related. Just get off the couch every now and then.
Hi Tina, so sorry to hear about your hands - that's not great news but hopefully it'll be a temporary condition. The warmth of Alabama will do you both good and I'm hoping Norm will share (some of) his photos. Thanks for yet more tips. L
I enjoyed that video, thank you. I was surprised by the Norfolk reference though. I would have placed you as northerners although I couldn’t be certain about which side of the Pennines.
We will confirm travel is a great dose of medicine for getting out of a pandemic slump. We took a idea of yours and spent a weekend to visit Frankenmuth Michigan and loved it, thanks. Taking really good care of yourselves properly eating sleeping will put you in good position health wise to travel
Please look into boron for your arthritis. According to Newnham: “We need in the region of 6 to 8 mg per day and that will sustain good health as regards arthritic diseases. When we talk about sustainable medicine we should really be talking about sustainable health, and when this is applied to arthritic diseases and osteoporosis we need a good supply of boron and 6-8 mg a day is sufficient. Those with active disease are helped with 9-10 mg a day. I have been taking a boron supplement for 30 years and my wife also takes it every day and we have no joint problems.”
Thanks for sharing your ideas. One thought for you... You may want to wear your magnetic bracelet on the other arm. Magnets mess up computers and could affect your digital watch.
Hey 👋 Tina and Norm, Was it like an episode of Cheers? Walking into the liquor store and everyone shouts out Norm!!” I’m still living casual post pandemic- wearing comfy sweats for staying at home, but then still wearing them out and about.
Nothing wrong with that Eric we are just trying to give ourselves a little kick start we so missed the experience and excitement of travelling, have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🇺🇸☕️🇨🇦🍻
Great info stopped drinking alcohol 2 years ago feel so much better and healthier I also take omega 3 as I am starting to get arthritis in my hands seems to be helping.
Consider purchasing a paraffin wax hand bath on Amazon. I had this therapy done at a Physical Therapy center and it was glorious. Best wishes to you both.
Tina, do see your doctor to rule out any active arthritis like Rheumatoid Arthritis or possible Psoriatic Arthritis. It may be simple Bursitis, although it may require a doctor that specializes in active arthritis to get the proper treatment. I do know what you mean with respect to the afternoon delight of Wine and a few snacks and cheese. Suddenly you don't sleep all that well and why don't these jeans fit; they must have shrunk! 🙂 We had a friend over for dinner that we have not seen for some time, the fear factor was seemingly there! any little tickle in the throat and its "I hope I don't have the Covid, I don't want to give it to them". It is time to get the socializing juices going again. Cheers!
Hi kids, I was fortunate to experience employment for 12 months in Decatur Alabama. Alabama is rich in Civil War history, museums, battle fields and historic cemeteries. Decatur was destroyed with one building remaining. Decatur has excellent museums rich in civil war arms and dress. Huntsville has a NASA Center open to the public. Gulf of Mexico sandy beaches are the best. Hope you have scheduled sufficient time for what the State has to offer.
Cannot believe your GP would not see you during Covid in Canada. Luckily in Ireland ours saw us. However, Consultants would only take phone consultations but still charged big bucks. So if really sick you had to go to the ED!! We find as we get older we just cannot drink as much. But we still treat ourselves to a bottle of wine with our Friday Dinner. You are right it is important to get Health Check-ups no matter how active we are! Love the videos and enjoy the Halloween weekend!
Hi Tina & Norm it sounds like a MOT to me and a very good idea we are going abroad soon so thanks again for all the life tips Regards Christopher Barker
Great points guys! We found a place that does senior taxes free and that’s been a blessing to us! Doctors do virtual visits here too sometimes but mostly we go in person.
Great topic. I bought a copper bracelet 20 years ago for arthritis in my neck. I used to get a stiff neck after sleeping about 3 times a week. Probably only had one or two since I’ve been wearing it in 20 years. Mine is called Sabona and is not fancy but it seems to work. Good luck with yours.
Thanks for sharing! we are glad it has helped your neck Mike Tina is hoping to see benefits as well with the Turmeric Gummies we are also taking Cheers ☕️🍁😎
Good content guys, yes, telemedicine is not supereffective, that is why I always try to see my patients personally. Tina, I am not sure about copper bracelet, but you can do couple of simple tests to Rule out rheumatoid arthritis: CRP, Rheumatoid factor and arthritis pannel at mitogen labs reqs. Also hands xay, for sure. another thing : do not rush to do colonoscipy, just do FIT test first and go with scope if it is positive. Best of luck and have a good winter!
Thanks for the tips Angela will look into that , we do the FIT test every two years , the test now is even easier to do LOL 😂😂have a wonderful weekend Cheers ☕️🍁😎
Excellent review. Appreciate your honesty. Drinking is an issue in these times. We caught up on medical tests. We took a vacation for the first time in three years. I’ve had arthritis for years. Copper helps me. So does salt reduction and alcohol reduction.
Even younger people are seeing the benefits of not drinking alcohol any more. The only thing I remember hearing about having a drink once in a while is it can thin your blood which can be beneficial to older people.
1. I advise lots of Pot 2. Pot stocks 3. No alcohol 4. Puppy 5. Handyman Special. (lots of under 75 K houses in Nova Scotia) That's what's working for me so far. Bonus, #6 is a coffee percolator.
Well I am back after not commenting for 2 weeks. I am so glad for you ditching the 🍷. I never had and/or have any problems with that and smoking. I was always able to control both of them. Currently, I only have between 5 to 8 beers a year and about 3 glasses of wine for the same period. I only drink during a great served meal and I stopped smoking 25 years ago. Back then I only smoked 1 to 2 cigarettes after lunch and dinner. I have mentioned, previously, , that we traveled to Portugal this past may for a short vacation. Now we are in the process of planning a trip to BR from Dec 23rd to March 1st to visit friends and family. It will be summer there. Let's see if I can get used to my birthplace country 🤔. I will give it a shot. 😁Investing... well not much to say here as I am down few thousand pennies . I hope things will get better after the November 8th elections. 🤞 Have a great trip to 'Bama my friends. I love grits. 🤟
Thanks Tina and Norm for a fine video. On 1/Sept i picked up some Imperial Oil (IMO) at 62.794 so the dividends should be o.k. I have the bad joints problem too.
Thanks Julie we aren’t saying it’s forever but at the moment it is really helpful to loosing the weight guess we were drinking a lot of calories Cheers ☕️🍁🍷
But what if you don't have several years for the stock market to come back? I pulled my pension out of the market and bought a couple of Fixed index annuities with most of it and I also started a CD ladder.. I got sick of the yo yo effect I was seeing from the markets. Then nice thing right now is I won't have to touch them. I had a 7 year fixed index annuity that matured and gave me a little over 31,000 profit. So I took that money and bought a 5 year fixed index annuity with it. Then bought another 5 year one too and started a cd ladder.. So we will see how that goes.. Great videos guys!
Thanks for the video guys! If you make it down to Mobile, Alabama you will be in my neighborhood. I live in the panhandle of Florida. About 2 hours from Mobile. If you get a chance you may want to drive the hour over to Pensacola Florida to check out the beaches, they are much better than Alabama's. Also Pensacola Naval base has a Naval aviation museum that is a must see. Check it out on line to see if it would interest you and it is open to the public. Take care!
Hi David thanks for your recommendations, we have the Naval air museum on our to do list, we are looking forward to spotting the Blue Angels flying by the Alabama coast.
You guys add value. I look forward to watching. Your delivery is like a loving friend. And if you were able to watch our Philadelphia Phillies it has been terrific. They just won game one of the World Series. Join in the fun ❤⚾️❤️⚾️❤️
Yes indeed …. I’m still drinking a bottle of Rum per day , along with smoking a couple packs of cigarettes …. And of course lots of women ! Guy told me the other day, that I looked good and asked how old I was …. I replied without hesitation that I had just turned 26 😝😝
Just wanted to mention to be cautious with copper. Many years ago, my friend's husband started passing out (out of the blue) among other serious symptoms. He was in his 30's and otherwise very healthy. Very long story made short, he had developed almost lethal copper poisoning simply from wearing a copper bracelet.
50 days without a drink! Wow, I have passed 5 years. The idea of having a drink is as intriguing as the idea of having a cigarette having a cigarette. Good luck to the two of you, wonderful series...ar you anticipating any trips this summer?
Great video Norm & Tina - now for your trip to Alabama, whether a motorcycle fan or not, you must see the Barber Motorsports Museum in Leeds, Alabama, just outside Birmingham, AL - the largest motorcycle museum in the world! It is a 230,000 sq ft museum with over 1,600 motorcycles & Cars (the Beetles Car they used, Lotus racers, etc). Just a suggestion :) Cheers, Ronny
Heh Ronny awesome suggestion, it's added to the ever expanding list, Norm was an avid motorcycle racing photographer in his youth at the Isle Of Man T.T. races.
@@ThisIsOurRetirement Norm is a man of many talents, very interesting! I love the Isle of Man TT races, on my bucket list! Enjoy your trip & safe travels! Ronny
MORE FINE BUSINESS!!!I am drinking a cup of APPLE CIDER VINEGAR in water at present (not sure why) Enjoy your travels and if you can share a little highlights here and there we enjoy seeing them! CHEERS from HERE!
Another interesting video guys. 🙏 You're both looking very well. The point about alcohol is well made. I'm cutting down as well.. May even cut it out altogether as you have done. Saving money 💰 too!! Hope you get to travel again really soon. Have a brilliant week. Ger
Always enjoy your videos. On the often discussed topic of saving money, just this week we received a discount on our car insurance as I am no longer driving to work. I am walking to a part-time job. I will also receive another discount when I retire completely. You have to ASK your broker for these discounts though. Also to save money when traveling, use public transit wherever possible. One can travel around oahu for example for $3 on the local bus. Compare that to a car rental! And finally if you are flexible with your timetable trains in France for example are 1/2 price at various times of day.
I know you probably already have your Alabama trip planned out BUT if not and you would like some ideas lets me, us know, IF you're into American / Southern History there are some VERY neat things to see there, have you picked out the cities you are planning on visiting?
Thanks!
Thanks so much Stephen we really appreciate it 🙂

I am surprised you have given up your beer Norm. That’s amazing discipline.
It only lasted a month, but is something we will do like intermittent fasting, taking weeks off from alcohol.
@@ThisIsOurRetirement At least you tried. A good pint in the summer is hard to resist. I forgive you.
Boa tarde! We continue to enjoy the tips and thoughts you provide. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, we have watched your adventures in Madeira
Just turned 62. First day of retirement today, if Saturdays count? Every day is going to be a Saturday now! Yipee!
Congratulations Steph! Welcome to the club 🥂
We quit drinking in 1995. The health and financial benefits have been great. I was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. What I am trying is cutting out our processed carbs. Intermittent fasting, exercise, drink water, and more of a keto diet. I am gaining strength and feel it is helping cope with the pain.
All those things you are doing are what we are now doing and it really seems to be working great have a wonderful weekend Cheers ☕️🍁🌞
My favorite retired couple. Keep safe and healthy.
You are so kind Jo 🌺have a wonderful weekend Cheers ☕️🍁
Your comment about needing to have something interesting to talk about when socializing is so true. However, I'm not sure that travel tales are the answer, since if the other person doesn't have a chance to travel, it just creates envy. Or they may not approve of your travel style or choice of destination. But I do think that making pleasant conversation is a lost art, like social dancing. I think it has mostly to do with being light-hearted rather than heavy, and with telling amusing stories about ordinary life and shared interests. I guess we all look to the media for entertainment, rather than each other.
Just my opinion, but it's not a time to brag, to vent, to discuss serious topics like the terrible state of the world, to gossip, or discuss personal issues. However those are old fashioned ideas, and both parties have to agree to these unwritten rules.
We were making a point about having experiences make for interesting conversations amongst friends, it doesn’t have to be travel related. Just get off the couch every now and then.
Hi Tina, so sorry to hear about your hands - that's not great news but hopefully it'll be a temporary condition.
The warmth of Alabama will do you both good and I'm hoping Norm will share (some of) his photos.
Thanks for yet more tips. L
Thanks Linda yes we think it will help with the sunshine 🌞 have a great weekend Cheers ☕️🍁🌞
Health should be top of the list. You have to be in top form to turn your dreams into a reality. 😎😎
Great statement Martin enjoy your weekend Cheers ☕️🍁
Glad to see you are both healthy and happy . Another good video . Enjoy your week 😊 small town USA 🇺🇸
Thanks Cinde we are so excited to be in Alabama for a month have a great week Cheers 🇺🇸☕️🇨🇦
I enjoyed that video, thank you. I was surprised by the Norfolk reference though. I would have placed you as northerners although I couldn’t be certain about which side of the Pennines.
Yes Northerners but lived in East Anglia
So look forward to seeing you two every Saturday.
Thanks so much Karry!
We will confirm travel is a great dose of medicine for getting out of a pandemic slump. We took a idea of yours and spent a weekend to visit Frankenmuth Michigan and loved it, thanks. Taking really good care of yourselves properly eating sleeping will put you in good position health wise to travel
That’s wonderful Norm so glad you had a great trip to Frankenmuth we are looking forward to Alabama Cheers ☕️🍁🇺🇸
Happy Halloween 🎃☕️👻
Good job, as always, Tina and Norm ! Thank you. Stay well and safe!
Thanks, you too! have a great weekend Phil Cheers ☕️🍁
Have a great weekend Stephanie Cheers ☕️🍁
Thank you for your videos! I’ve learned so much. Am looking forward to hearing what you have to say about being a snowbird on the Alabama coast. 😊
Thanks Christine so far being a snowbird in Alabama is just awesome 👏 Cheers 🐬🌞🇺🇸🌊
Doctors and nurses have now become as rare as a dodo bird sighting in Canada 🇨🇦
Finding a G.P. is a challenge, luckily our family has an R.N.
Never take anything that will steal your mind.
Thanks for watching Mike have a great weekend Cheers 🇺🇸☕️🇨🇦🍻
Love your honesty and great sense of humor!
Please look into boron for your arthritis. According to Newnham: “We need in the region of 6 to 8 mg per day and that will sustain good health as regards arthritic diseases. When we talk about sustainable medicine we should really be talking about sustainable health, and when this is applied to arthritic diseases and osteoporosis we need a good supply of boron and 6-8 mg a day is sufficient. Those with active disease are helped with 9-10 mg a day. I have been taking a boron supplement for 30 years and my wife also takes it every day and we have no joint problems.”
Thanks for the tip we will look into it Alejo have a great weekend Cheers ☕️🍁😎
Thanks for sharing your ideas. One thought for you... You may want to wear your magnetic bracelet on the other arm. Magnets mess up computers and could affect your digital watch.
Thanks for the tip! will do Peggy Cheers ☕️🍁
Hey 👋 Tina and Norm,
Was it like an episode of Cheers? Walking into the liquor store and everyone shouts out Norm!!”
I’m still living casual post pandemic- wearing comfy sweats for staying at home, but then still wearing them out and about.
Nothing wrong with that Eric we are just trying to give ourselves a little kick start we so missed the experience and excitement of travelling, have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🇺🇸☕️🇨🇦🍻
Great info stopped drinking alcohol 2 years ago feel so much better and healthier I also take omega 3 as I am starting to get arthritis in my hands seems to be helping.
Congratulations Andrea on your achievement, we take D3 daily. Sorry to hear about you arthritis, it seems we are starting with it too.
Consider purchasing a paraffin wax hand bath on Amazon. I had this therapy done at a Physical Therapy center and it was glorious.
Best wishes to you both.
Thanks for the suggestion Ann we will look into that have a wonderful weekend Cheers ☕️🍁😎
Congrats on stop drinking, good idea for healthier living. I stopped also
Well done!
Ooooo Alabama! We haven’t been there either but it is on our bucket list as we have only a few states left to visit! Take care and safe travels!
Thanks Brenda have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🇺🇸☕️🇨🇦
Tina, do see your doctor to rule out any active arthritis like Rheumatoid Arthritis or possible Psoriatic Arthritis. It may be simple Bursitis, although it may require a doctor that specializes in active arthritis to get the proper treatment. I do know what you mean with respect to the afternoon delight of Wine and a few snacks and cheese. Suddenly you don't sleep all that well and why don't these jeans fit; they must have shrunk! 🙂 We had a friend over for dinner that we have not seen for some time, the fear factor was seemingly there! any little tickle in the throat and its "I hope I don't have the Covid, I don't want to give it to them". It is time to get the socializing juices going again. Cheers!
Thanks Greg will be seeing our doc soon
Hi kids, I was fortunate to experience employment for 12 months in Decatur Alabama. Alabama is rich in Civil War history, museums, battle fields and historic cemeteries. Decatur was destroyed with one building remaining. Decatur has excellent museums rich in civil war arms and dress. Huntsville has a NASA Center open to the public. Gulf of Mexico sandy beaches are the best. Hope you have scheduled sufficient time for what the State has to offer.
Thanks Harvey for your suggestions, we have been reading a lot about Alabama it does have some great history, we are looking forward to our trip.
Don’t forget your Shingrix vaccine!
Watching you 2 travel, is so inspiring to me.
Absolutely we have had both Shingrix shots now SCT glad you are enjoying our videos Cheers ☕️🍁🙂
Cannot believe your GP would not see you during Covid in Canada. Luckily in Ireland ours saw us. However, Consultants would only take phone consultations but still charged big bucks. So if really sick you had to go to the ED!!
We find as we get older we just cannot drink as much. But we still treat ourselves to a bottle of wine with our Friday Dinner. You are right it is important to get Health Check-ups no matter how active we are! Love the videos and enjoy the Halloween weekend!
Thanks for sharing have a wonderful weekend Mary Rose in Ireland 🇮🇪 Cheers ☕️🇮🇪🇨🇦🍁
Thanks very much. Looking forward to your Alabama video series. Safe travels...!!! God Bless you both...!!!
Thanks Terry we will be filming from Alabama have a great weekend Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
Hi Tina & Norm it sounds like a MOT to me and a very good idea we are going abroad soon so thanks again for all the life tips
Regards Christopher Barker
Have a great trip Christopher
We learnt to play saxophone during Covid….
Thats awesome 🎷🍷🙂
Love your channel, your are both an inspiration to everyone.Thanks , watching from Brisbane Australia .Stay safe❤
Thanks so much! have a great day Cecilia in Brisbane Cheers 🇦🇺☕️🇨🇦🍁
Great points guys! We found a place that does senior taxes free and that’s been a blessing to us!
Doctors do virtual visits here too sometimes but mostly we go in person.
That is awesome! yes we prefer the doctor personal visits have a great weekend guys Cheers 🇺🇸☕️🇨🇦
Thx for the smiles. 😊
Your welcome 🍁
Thanks!
Thanks so much Georgia!
I really appreciate you guys and your time you share .
Our pleasure! have a wonderful weekend Stephen Cheers ☕️🍁🍻
Great topic. I bought a copper bracelet 20 years ago for arthritis in my neck. I used to get a stiff neck after sleeping about 3 times a week. Probably only had one or two since I’ve been wearing it in 20 years. Mine is called Sabona and is not fancy but it seems to work. Good luck with yours.
Thanks for sharing! we are glad it has helped your neck Mike Tina is hoping to see benefits as well with the Turmeric Gummies we are also taking Cheers ☕️🍁😎
Good content guys, yes, telemedicine is not supereffective, that is why I always try to see my patients personally. Tina, I am not sure about copper bracelet, but you can do couple of simple tests to Rule out rheumatoid arthritis: CRP, Rheumatoid factor and arthritis pannel at mitogen labs reqs. Also hands xay, for sure. another thing : do not rush to do colonoscipy, just do FIT test first and go with scope if it is positive. Best of luck and have a good winter!
Thanks for the tips Angela will look into that , we do the FIT test every two years , the test now is even easier to do LOL 😂😂have a wonderful weekend Cheers ☕️🍁😎
I agree that you should rule out rheumatoid arthritis as opposed to osteoarthritis where there is effective medications for RA.
You might consider other treatments for arthritis such as alternating hot and cold water baths. There appears to be little evidence for copper.
Thanks Robert for your suggestion, we also have a salt water pool and hot tub in our apartment building and it's meant to be therapeutic too.
Excellent review. Appreciate your honesty. Drinking is an issue in these times. We caught up on medical tests. We took a vacation for the first time in three years. I’ve had arthritis for years. Copper helps me. So does salt reduction and alcohol reduction.
Thanks Theresa, we thought discussing these items might help some people knowing they are not alone.
how honest of you! good for you!
Thanks Stephanie!
You two are amazing! Thanks for sharing great ideas!
Our pleasure !have a great week Nila Cheers 🇺🇸☕️🇨🇦
My Doc wanted to do zoom calls, I told her that I don't have a mobile phone, now I get one to one consultations.
What a great idea 💡 William will have to do that have a great weekend Cheers ☕️🍁
Even younger people are seeing the benefits of not drinking alcohol any more. The only thing I remember hearing about having a drink once in a while is it can thin your blood which can be beneficial to older people.
Maybe that’s the secret Sandi just the occasional drink 🍷have an awesome weekend Cheers ☕️🍁😎
1. I advise lots of Pot 2. Pot stocks 3. No alcohol 4. Puppy 5. Handyman Special. (lots of under 75 K houses in Nova Scotia) That's what's working for me so far. Bonus, #6 is a coffee percolator.
Sounds great Roy glad it’s working for you and yes nothing like fresh coffee ☕️ to start the day have a wonderful weekend Cheers ☕️🍁😎
Thank you for another great show. I am looking forward to your travel videos this winter!
Glad you like them! have a wonderful weekend Nikki Cheers ☕️🍁😎

Cheer’s to you both..🥃🍷
Please do! have a wonderful weekend Cheers ☕️🍁🍷
Well I am back after not commenting for 2 weeks. I am so glad for you ditching the 🍷. I never had and/or have any problems with that and smoking. I was always able to control both of them. Currently, I only have between 5 to 8 beers a year and about 3 glasses of wine for the same period. I only drink during a great served meal and I stopped smoking 25 years ago. Back then I only smoked 1 to 2 cigarettes after lunch and dinner. I have mentioned, previously, , that we traveled to Portugal this past may for a short vacation. Now we are in the process of planning a trip to BR from Dec 23rd to March 1st to visit friends and family. It will be summer there. Let's see if I can get used to my birthplace country 🤔. I will give it a shot. 😁Investing... well not much to say here as I am down few thousand pennies . I hope things will get better after the November 8th elections. 🤞 Have a great trip to 'Bama my friends. I love grits. 🤟
Thanks for sharing Tony Norm used to smoke but hasn’t for over 40 years , we hope you enjoy your trip to BR have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🇺🇸☕️🇨🇦
Some good tips. Appreciate it. Have a good time in Alabama.
Thanks Ben we are looking forward to it hope you are having a great weekend too Cheers 🇨🇦☕️😎🇺🇸
Thanks Tina and Norm for a fine video.
On 1/Sept i picked up some Imperial Oil (IMO) at 62.794
so the dividends should be o.k.
I have the bad joints problem too.
Thanks for sharing hope they do well , think the bad joints are just part of getting older LOL 😂😂Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
Congrats on 50 days sober!! The holidays will be a temptation. Be ready.
Thanks Julie we aren’t saying it’s forever but at the moment it is really helpful to loosing the weight guess we were drinking a lot of calories Cheers ☕️🍁🍷
But what if you don't have several years for the stock market to come back? I pulled my pension out of the market and bought a couple of Fixed index annuities with most of it and I also started a CD ladder.. I got sick of the yo yo effect I was seeing from the markets. Then nice thing right now is I won't have to touch them. I had a 7 year fixed index annuity that matured and gave me a little over 31,000 profit. So I took that money and bought a 5 year fixed index annuity with it. Then bought another 5 year one too and started a cd ladder.. So we will see how that goes.. Great videos guys!
Thanks for sharing have a wonderful weekend Cheers ☕️🍁😎
Thanks for the video guys! If you make it down to Mobile, Alabama you will be in my neighborhood. I live in the panhandle of Florida. About 2 hours from Mobile. If you get a chance you may want to drive the hour over to Pensacola Florida to check out the beaches, they are much better than Alabama's. Also Pensacola Naval base has a Naval aviation museum that is a must see. Check it out on line to see if it would interest you and it is open to the public. Take care!
Hi David thanks for your recommendations, we have the Naval air museum on our to do list, we are looking forward to spotting the Blue Angels flying by the Alabama coast.
The naval aviation museum is absolutely incredible!
Thanks George Cheers 🇺🇸☕️🇨🇦
Two good stocks to watch and invest are O and ET .They are on my current watchlist . My best performing stock to-date is CVX .Best of luck
Thanks for the suggestions Scott have an awesome weekend Cheers ☕️🍁🍻
Enjoy your trip to Alabama, Tina and Norm. xo
Thank you Jeanie we hope you are having a great weekend Cheers ☕️🍁🇨🇦🇺🇸
You guys add value. I look forward to watching. Your delivery is like a loving friend. And if you were able to watch our Philadelphia Phillies it has been terrific. They just won game one of the World Series. Join in the fun ❤⚾️❤️⚾️❤️
Thanks Kathy our son is a big Steelers fan 🏈 hope you have a great weekend Cheers 🇺🇸☕️🏈🇨🇦
@@ThisIsOurRetirement sorry bout the Steelers. e a g l e s🍀🏈
Thanks for the suggestions ❤ very helpful ❤
Your welcome Lynn Cheers ☕️🇨🇦😎
Yes indeed …. I’m still drinking a bottle of Rum per day , along with smoking a couple packs of cigarettes …. And of course lots of women !
Guy told me the other day, that I looked good and asked how old I was …. I replied without hesitation that I had just turned 26 😝😝
Guess it’s all working great for you Andy 🍻have a wonderful weekend Cheers ☕️🍻😎
Just wanted to mention to be cautious with copper. Many years ago, my friend's husband started passing out (out of the blue) among other serious symptoms. He was in his 30's and otherwise very healthy. Very long story made short, he had developed almost lethal copper poisoning simply from wearing a copper bracelet.
Thanks for your warning, we will keep an eye on it!
Regrettably I'm still smoking, drinking and running around with loose women. The pandemic didn't change my lifestyle but I feel healthy.
As long as you are healthy Mike that’s the main thing LOL 😂😂Cheers ☕️🍷🍁🍻
@@ThisIsOurRetirement Please have a nice and safe vacation in Alabama. We will be in Florida, the same time you are in Alabama. Cheers
I used to waste my money. But now I spend it on woman, booze and tobacco. I only waste whatever is left....🤗
Have a great time Mike Cheers 🇺🇸☕️🇨🇦
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild, wild women, they’ll drive you crazy, they’ll drive you insane. Jim Croce 😅
50 days without a drink! Wow, I have passed 5 years. The idea of having a drink is as intriguing as the idea of having a cigarette having a cigarette. Good luck to the two of you, wonderful series...ar you anticipating any trips this summer?
We are off to Alabama for a month then Florida in January Steven Cheers 🇨🇦☕️🇺🇸
I enjoy your videos very much. Maybe our paths will cross while you are in my home state of Alabama. We live in Central Alabama.
That would be cool! have a wonderful weekend Mark Cheers 🇺🇸☕️🇨🇦
Great video Norm & Tina - now for your trip to Alabama, whether a motorcycle fan or not, you must see the Barber Motorsports Museum in Leeds, Alabama, just outside Birmingham, AL - the largest motorcycle museum in the world! It is a 230,000 sq ft museum with over 1,600 motorcycles & Cars (the Beetles Car they used, Lotus racers, etc). Just a suggestion :) Cheers, Ronny
Heh Ronny awesome suggestion, it's added to the ever expanding list, Norm was an avid motorcycle racing photographer in his youth at the Isle Of Man T.T. races.
@@ThisIsOurRetirement Norm is a man of many talents, very interesting! I love the Isle of Man TT races, on my bucket list! Enjoy your trip & safe travels! Ronny
I love you crazy kids xx
Thanks Will have a wonderful weekend Cheers ☕️🍁
What name and model microphone do you use. Thank you. The video is excellent
Thanks Mike, it’s a very basic mini shotgun but mounted right above our heads very close the Boya MM1
Norm! Where’s your rock n roll t-shirt?
Doesnt wear one all the time Cheers ☕️🍁
MORE FINE BUSINESS!!!I am drinking a cup of APPLE CIDER VINEGAR in water at present (not sure why) Enjoy your travels and if you can share a little highlights here and there we enjoy seeing them! CHEERS from HERE!
Norm drinks that too Darryl yes we will be filming from Alabama so stayed tuned have an awesome weekend Cheers ☕️🍁😎
oooh. I do that, but add lemon or lime juice and a bit of stevia. MUCH better.
Another interesting video guys. 🙏 You're both looking very well. The point about alcohol is well made. I'm cutting down as well.. May even cut it out altogether as you have done. Saving money 💰 too!!
Hope you get to travel again really soon. Have a brilliant week. Ger
Thanks so much you definitely save money 💰 when not drinking LOL 😂Cheers ☕️🍁🍷
I live in Madison and would love if it you did a meetup for your Alabama fans💕
Thanks for the suggestion, we are going to be in southern Alabama near the coast.
Always enjoy your videos. On the often discussed topic of saving money, just this week we received a discount on our car insurance as I am no longer driving to work. I am walking to a part-time job. I will also receive another discount when I retire completely. You have to ASK your broker for these discounts though. Also to save money when traveling, use public transit wherever possible. One can travel around oahu for example for $3 on the local bus. Compare that to a car rental! And finally if you are flexible with your timetable trains in France for example are 1/2 price at various times of day.
That’s great you got discount on your car 🚗 insurance George, walking to work keeps you fit as well have a wonderful weekend Cheers ☕️🍁😎
I know you probably already have your Alabama trip planned out BUT if not and you would like some ideas lets me, us know, IF you're into American / Southern History there are some VERY neat things to see there, have you picked out the cities you are planning on visiting?
We will be planning day trips after we arrive where we are staying Numa have a wonderful weekend Cheers 🇺🇸☕️🇨🇦
