    As you age, are people treating you differently?

    I noticed that recently and I was thinking, what the hell? What happened to respect your elders? Some of the young people lately are not only not helpful in public but downright rude. I’m 67. I do expect people to take my age into consideration out in public.

    What Are You Passionate About?

    #1 pets. #2 any kind of art, from sewing to painting to photography. I used to have a passion for writing, even majored in comm studies and did a number of newsletters, blogs, and articles both for work and personal enjoyment. But I completely lost the desire when my dad passed in 2022. Not...

    Do you have experience with cataract surgery?

    Thanks for that information. I don’t mind wearing my glasses as I’ve worn them all my life. I’m just concerned that the blurry spots are affecting my driving. I really thought I had dry eye for about a year or felt like my glasses were smudged all the time.

    Do you have experience with cataract surgery?

    Yesterday (Jan 31st) Was My Retire-versary. 26 Years And No Regrets. What About You?

    I couldn’t work any more and retired at 60 with a mental health disability. Luckily, my last 15 years of working were in a union job and I was able to collect a small pension. I don’t qualify for SSN disability but did qualify through state of California. I manage okay right now but really...

    First names you find weird, strange 😉

    I was a teacher for 15 years. Some of the girls in the Bay Area really get labeled with some weird ones. One of the funny ones I remember was “Charmin” like the TP. 😂

    Concerts

    Been to tons of concerts but last one was in the 90s except for cover bands at the state fairs and stuff. Best one — Led Zeppelin at Day on the Green, Oakland, 1977. I’ve seen Aerosmith twice, saw Bruce Springsteen on his very first tour, saw Robert Plant again when my son was young, he went...

    New member here from BC 🇨🇦

    Welcome. I would live in Canada if I could. It’s a country I respect very much. I recently relocated to the middle of the US, one of the towns that Route 66 runs through. We have quite a bit of Americana history in the area, which I like. I’m 67 and live alone with no close relatives in this...

    Let's take another swipe at the Multiverse concept

    I listen to audio books on quantum physics and cosmology to fall asleep. This subject comes up a lot. But when I hear “multiverse,” I always think of the MCU first. lol.
