"My husband died recently. I have been approached by a much younger man for a sexual relationship. I want to, but I feel he is too young. I'm 61, and he's 37, the same age as my son. We have been friends for years, and I am unsure if I should change the relationship. I see no future in it except occasional sex. Should I drop it or consider the possibilities?"

And yes red lev is still there in the same room and spot: My family member said once the dusts finally settled, it cost her $80k. The original quote was $50k but due to material cost increase and supply line issues, it ended up at 80k.

She also said instead of repeating the fuss taken from some past customers, the builders just quote the new customers in her neighborhood that want a pool $90k-100k now to eliminate future fussing of why does the price keeps going up..

If you got it, flaunt it: Why these grandmas say 'bikinis don't have an age limit'

It is officially hot grandma summer.

Traditionally the word grandmother inspires images of cozy turtlenecks and sensible shoes. But such is not the case for these bikini-rocking grandmothers who are transforming the idea of what a typical grandma looks like, one two-piece at a time.

"Bikinis don't have an age limit," 47-year-old grandmother and personal trainer Shantea Johnson tells Yahoo Life.

Johnson, known as "nana" and "glam-ma" to her six grandchildren, views wearing bikinis as a way to show off her hard work, an homage to her past self who wouldn't dream of putting on a two-piece.

"I didn't even think about wearing bikinis and things like that," Johnson says, adding that it wasn't until she began competing in fitness competitions that she gained the confidence to rock skin-baring swimwear.

"I went through my own transformation, where I lost 20 pounds, and I started doing fitness competitions," she says. "You're loving what your body looks like so you want to wear stuff that shows off your hard work," she says.

For some women, a change in perspective helped them embrace their bikini bodies post-grandkids.

After seeing a throwback photo of herself, Jennifer Vanderslice, a 57-year-old grandmother of two, realized how damaging her hyper-critical self-view had been.

"In my late 30s I had my husband take a picture of me in Las Vegas in a bikini and I hated the picture and I wouldn't show it to people. It wasn't until I guess about 10 years later or something like that, when I saw the picture again, and I realized … how good the picture actually was," she tells Yahoo Life.

Now Vanderslice refuses to let history repeat itself and actively chooses to embrace her body in the moment.

"I may look in the mirror and [look] a little heavier, you know, a little rounder and I realized that it's not necessarily the way everybody sees you. What I see is not what everybody else sees and in another 10 years, I'll look back and I'll think, 'I probably looked pretty good,'" she says.

I like jogging outdoor more.

You can still have a treadmill for outdoor use. Years ago, I had one in my patio..kind of like these examples and then cover it up when not in use:
