When I turned 85 the life ins adds stopped. Now getting senior living, nursing home, caregiver ads.

Never. I never did go for fads.

With this happening on top of the Southwest failure, and the “new normal” conditions in the rest of life being so weird (including devastating storms and droughts) , I feel like I’m in some kind of bad sci fi , that just when I think it’s over there is another chapter.

That’s interesting news. Thanks for sharing. I’ve often wished my healthcare providers were a little more experienced in dealing with the oldest years. I hope you will keep us posted on how it works out for you. Whether it’s coping with incontenence, family members who suddenly decided to get...

I don’t answer unidentified calls, or accept unknown friend requests or do any form of gambling. Courteous suspicion at all times. Keep credit & debit cards to a minimum & follow them on line. I don’t donate to anything because they all seem to be linked and one donation can lead to many...

Agreeing with Pinky. Why don’t they just go get a life, have fun, take up arts and crafts, or learn a new sport or a a musical instrument, do volunteer work, take aim at having a normal young, healthy, rich adults’ life.

Not indoor, but being an Easterner by birth, saw the regular outdoor version played by all ages back then, considered as a tribute to Native American heritage. No one was allowed to forget how it originated.

Exercise?I was a year round swimmer and hiker until a little after my mid 70’s. So all that finally wrecked my knees & hips, but my heart & lungs good for my age. I don’t care for football (too violent), basketball (too fast) but enjoy baseball & hockey mainly.

I’m beginning to think it’s a male vs female call. If a woman decide to stop doing something she once did, why should it be called ANXIETY ? when if a man made the same choice it would be labeled “GOOD JUDGMENT” . Simply saying “I don’t care to do it any more” should be enough, with no further...

I read about Connor Bedard’s amazing record, and glad he is getting a scholarship. Just hoping he paces himself and the coaches don’t over-utilize him as his young body continues to mature!

Thanks for all that interesting info jimintoronto! I’ll check about TSN.

In a month or so I I’m planning to move to a Senior residence where they give free basic cable tv. What doc you folks think is the best add-on sports channel in the US? I’m looking into it. ESPN 2?. ESPN + ? Any other ideas? The sports I like best to watch are baseball and hockey in season. Can...

8-10 years ago I used to think nothing of doing an hour or two of highway driving just to visit an interesting place or event or a better mall. But both city and highway driving in this state has gotten so lawless, witness wrecks all the time that I just quit the highways. Didn’t feel it was...

Cameras would be useful to see if someone was having a fall or seizure etc. it only if someone was monitoring the cameras. With shortages at all levels of medical staff I still don’t think video care is a very good substitute.

Same as Blessed and Call me Kate. Constant vigilance.
