❄️ Snow Shoveling Safety Reminder ❄️

A man in his 60s died after suffering a medical emergency while shoveling snow in Marshfield, Massachusetts, according to The Patriot Ledger.
Snow shoveling can put serious strain on the heart—especially in cold temperatures and for older adults.

Slow down, take breaks, and check on neighbors who may need help. Stay safe, NSN. 💙

💻❤️ Being single and tech‑savvy is great… until a “widowed surgeon on an oil rig” falls in love with you after three messages.

Scammers are everywhere right now — in the news, in your inbox, and definitely in your DMs. They study your profile, mirror your interests, and then hit you with the classics: No video calls. Big emotions. Sudden emergencies. And eventually… MONEY.

🚫 QUICK REALITY CHECK:
• If they can’t video chat, they’re not real.
• If they ask for money, they’re not in love.
• If their story sounds like a Netflix drama, trust your instincts.

You deserve real connection — not a scammer with a stolen profile picture and a script. Stay sharp, stay proud, and protect your heart and your wallet.

Who says dress-up and silly photos are just for kids? Wrinkles add character and make the pictures even better. Taking fun, over-the-top photos in our golden years proves one thing: laughter doesn’t retire.

Grab your friends, rope in the family, put on that outrageous outfit, and strike a pose. At NSN, we believe happiness is a huge part of living—and having fun never comes with an age limit. 😄
