    At 62 thinking of getting my first tattoo, A Tau Cross?

    I never had any interest in getting a tattoo... but that changed after a recent run in with cancer made me realise how temporary life can be. I am 65 now and have had it for about 4 months.

    Just between us girls

    Strangely, after a month on the road, with only a little soap and oil of olay and tiny bit of a shampoo bar, my skin and hair were better than usual. I also found that my hair didn't grow as fast.. Usually it needs cutting every 5 - 6 weeks but this time I was able to wait a little longer. I did...
