    Even basic holidays are becoming expensive.

    I agree 100%. Last month I returned from spending 38 days in Mexico (Mostly Yucatan). Had to listen to motorcycle noise 24 hours/day/night. Staying in "Boutique" hotels was terrible. They look good on "Booking.com" but the rooms were pretty bad. I always wanted to go to Australia but...

    As seniors, meaning we've lived a long time, have you noticed weather changes?

    Yes! I'm from the middle of Canada. When I was a kid in the 1950s, we used to have snow storms that lasted 3 days and 3 nights. Now, we're lucky to have a snow storm that lasts 1/2 day.

    United States and Israel attack Iran Early Saturday Morning

    The war in the Ukraine has been going on for 4 years. I never follow it. The current war will go on for years. I do not intend to follow it neither.

    What is real now daze?

    Current news is just crap. It's either the many wars out there, what the man in the orange cap said right now or who won the football/hockey game. For real news I read the local newspaper. My iphone 12 is just full of terrible advertising and rather stupid headings that start with "And she...

    When Our Devices Become Obsolete

    I have over 400 commericial CDs. Most of them are collector items like Johnny Cash, the original Carter Family, Hank Snow, the Mississippi Blue Yodeler (Jimmie Rodgers) and Uncle Dave Macon. I will never part with them. You can keep your "modern" music. I'll stick with the Carter Family...

    Why is everything so damned hard to open?

    Ya! Child proof and senior "proof" at the same time.

    I really have no time for big business

    Thank goodness, I never attend any sporting events because I believe it's all about the money.

    Ex-Prince Andrew Arrested (On His Birthday)

    I agree any news about Harry is boring. I am tired of his complaining; what a "cry baby."

    Rising prices - Wow!

    I don't see the problem here. First, if you don't like the high prices and the "rip-offs" then don't eat out. Restaurants are a luxury; not a necessity of life. If you buy your own groceries and cook at home you will save a ton of money. Hey, you want to go and spend time with friends, why...

    You think some places are deprived, and rundown until you see

    I have just returned from the Yucatan, Mexico. It's bad there but not as bad as India. I have been to India once and to Mexico 4 times. I prefer Mexico.

    38 Day Trip to Mexico

    Ok, I have just returned from spending 38 days in Mexico; traveling from Isla Mujeres all the way to Progreso. We rented a car for 9 days. If you have done this and motored through Mexican villages you will understand why I will never do this again! Apparently, 10 millions tourists come to...

    Does anyone use Chatgpt?

    So far, I don't use it. I guess at my age I don't follow fashion and trends and all the rest of it.
