What Is The Most Important Thing You've Learned From Senior Forums ??

[Naturally]

Maybe not the most important, but I've learned not to expect much company 'round here after about 9P.M.
I haven't been here long though ... maybe some of the oldtimers can share knowledge of importance learned on Senior Forums Thank You

I have learned that @Matrix is an awesome moderator.
I have learned there are some very funny members with great senses of humor.
There are a few adorable crazies.
There are a few lovable daily complainers.
There are several very talented members.
There are some highly intelligent members, that would put me to shame if I had a conversation with them
There are a couple of cheerleaders that are always very encouraging to other members.
I could keep going but it’s past my bedtime.

So over all I have learned this forum is a nice place to come and visit.

No after 9pm here on the forum..I'm roughly 5 hours ahead of most people..so when it's 9pm here it's only 4pm where most of you all are...

I have learned that nothing is what it first seems on the surface... starting with humans... but stick around long enough and "the real" starts peeking through. Ooooh, mysterious answer, but I'm sticking by it. After 9 p.m.? Nope, won't find me here... that's my down time.

Mornin' @Naturally .

Nailed it!

I've learned that Seniors have a ton to offer and enjoy the fact that there is very little snark on this forum.

Snark definition: "The meaning of SNARK is an attitude or expression of mocking irreverence and sarcasm."

 

[Chet]

I learned that I'm not alone with life's problems, one of which is the effect of aging.

 

[katlupe]

I have learned about people in other countries with different lifestyles.

That ‘Moderation’ matters. Not as in forum moderation, but moderation in my personal life. I don’t have to go from 0 to 60 in 10 seconds flat or be the best at everything. Not that I ever thought I was but I always had an unconscious ‘drive’ to do so.

Senior Forums is a very special place,esp after the warm welcome I received when I joined in 2017
I like that members are from around the world,can get a different point of view from them
I can start threads that are of interest to me, if others post there that's great if not that's ok Sue

If you are West Coast ... that's 11PM for me - long past my bedtime...

I joined around October of 2021. I was a lot more confident ( ego satisfied with myself then.) Around March of 2022, I was diagnosed the nerve damage the pain became so bad that all I could do was manage it. I shared this with the forum. I felt everyone's support and best wishes and it helped me through a devastating life change. I took about 3 months off from the forum because I was in so much pain it was all I could deal with. I have started to feel better...for a couple months . I am taking 3 RX meds and many supplements and herbals to help the damage. It is working pretty well right now. So I have started hanging out here again. I have learned that I really enjoy the folks here, from all over the globe. I like the threads and categories here and the way people start threads and the unique posts...they are always interesting. I don't find many personal quarrels. I just have to say I really like it here. THANKS MATRIX and ALL of YOU!

What I have learnt is everyone has something to offer.
I have also learnt that a spoonful of sugar or a
pinch of salt makes for amicable discourse.

I have learned how to be back stabbed & kicked to the ground. Otherwise I love it here and need to be here as I am lonely. It is good to be amongst people of my age and understanding. And the music--love that!

 

[DebraMae]

I have learned that almost everyone has thoughts that are worth listening to and that I have more in common with other seniors than I thought. I have also learned what a troll is.

 

[Myrtle]

I'm still learning so I can't tell you yet.

 

[spectratg]

That once you start a thread you no longer own it. It is in the public domain. People can and do diverge off into areas that may have little or no relevance to the original post. And that is a very good thing!

 

[Retired Monica]

I learned this pretty quickly here that the members are very friendly. I have only been on the site for a few days now.

I have learned that no matter how strongly some person has an opinion on some or several issues,
that is way different from mine, on something that seems important;

that the same person is very likely at some point, to say something that I do agree with, and something that therefore surprises me,
that likely includes something wonderful and significant, that I have in common with them.

It's a good thing for me to have realized. We have important things in common with others, even with people who appear at times, to be our opposite.

One of my favorite things about the internet is the international aspect. We get to converse with people from other countries and learn first hand about their cultures. Most often it reinforces my belief that regardless of surface differences--people are people, regardless of demographic they belong to, nationality, faith etc.

I have learned that this place is addictive and the people here are wonderful. I can't go more than a few minutes without stopping in here.
