    For Those Over 80

    My posts have been fact and accuracy driven not anger driven. I have not felt anger when expressing the facts and accuracy. Your post seems anger driven to me with no facts to back up what you say. You cannot point to one post where I’ve said living alone is onerous nor to one saying I find the...

    Article: Transportation to Medical Appointments Can Be Tricky for Solo Agers

    Thanks for sharing your experience. So many seniors perpetuate the myth about help that is available without ever having experienced the help themselves. They are just blowing hot air about the programs they've read about. You summed it up very well when you said many organizations have...

    Thanksgiving Day Alone Was Wonderful

    Thanksgiving Day alone was wonderful. I cooked my dinner the day before while dealing with all the stressful details of a teenager crashing into my car the week before. The paperwork has been endless. But on Thanksgiving Day all the phone calls and mail associated with the accident ceased for...

    What happens if we find intelligent life out there?

    They have already found us and the plan is already in effect. Their technology is so far advanced the plan is for the military/ government to cooperate with them they as best they can and keep the whole thing top secret.

    Senior Dating

    So how many senior dates have you had using this procedure? The problem for elder seniors with mobility issues is stated in your second sentence. It is hard for elder seniors with mobility issues to meet each other.

    My State of Tennessee asked alot of Questions for free help in my house.

    I'm 83 and live alone in my own home and haven't found any government agency offering anything to help me including free maid service. However there are plenty of people who perpetuate the myth that there are services available even though they have never received any of the services themselves.

    Which of these services have you received? People tend to perpetuate myths about services they have no experience with.

    I can understand posting in the wrong category but not arguing the name of the website when it is clearly visible in the blue header at the top of the page, nor pretending there is no such Forum as “Singles Living Alone” when it is clearly listed under “Forums” in the header, and selecting it...

    For Those Over 80

    You may be less confused if you got more technical and followed the format of the website creators instead of making up your own. The name of the website is Senior Forums (plural) not Senior Forum (singular). This name is clearly visible in the blue header at the top of the page. There is not...

    Senior Forums is the name of this website. The individual names of the many forums on this website are found under "Forums" in the upper left corner of the dark blue header strip at the top of the page. The "Seniors Living Alone" forum is described as being for those "widowed, divorced or single".

    Doctor says I still owe money

    Medical billing has become as shabby, illogical, inefficient, unprofessional and impersonal as the rest of medical care in the U.S.

    Good reasons for wanting to stay alive as long as possible. Much better than enduring long term pain and isolation in order to accommodate younger seniors fear of mortality. This is the “Seniors Living Alone” forum. Do you live alone and just visit your wife and parrot occasionally?

    For Those Over 80

    That brief span of life after 80 brings a certain amount of knowledge, wisdom, experience and acceptance of mortality that the majority of senior citizens in their 60s and 70s don’t have. The younger seniors cling to the earth and its resources to provide endless life and health although it...

    Nursing Homes

    Sadly, most people I talk with who have been in nursing homes have experiences similar to your acquaintance. I guess we should all research what type of decent in-patient 24/7 care is available in our area before the need arises. None of us knows when an accident may happen.

    My State of Tennessee asked alot of Questions for free help in my house.

    Whenever a senior citizen expresses a need for in-home help with staying in their own house, there are always people who respond with a pie in the sky list of government agencies they have never used themselves and can’t vouch for their relevancy. The Illinois Community Cares program has a long...
