We have a wide span of ages on here. Some are in their fifties. Most seem to be late sixty or seventies, and we have a small group like myself around eighty who post regularly. I have not noted anyone who has indicated they are older. Our ages affect our views. Just curious about who our senior seniors are and what their lives are like.
 

Wish I could get my Dad interested in posting. He has such a busy social schedule and doesn't have time for online stuff except a few regular emails here and there. His birthday is June 4th 1922 and he can still run circles around many of us...94
 
Nope but sometimes I feel like a 90 year old..like now at 6am and my back is killing me and I've got to get to work!! :eek1:

Seriously tho'...yep there is someone older than you.. the lovely Falcon, I know for definite is older than 80...and there's a few more...
 

I am 64, soon to be sixty five in April. My life in a nut shell: Well, I have a thirty one year old male roommate (friend of the family) and his dog. I still work part-time as a substitute school bus driver attendant (help load/unload and look after special needs kids on the buses). I am in fairly good health and I live in a small college town in Middle Tennessee. I have two beautiful children, a girl and a boy, and two wonderful grandchildren ages ten and seven, also a girl and a boy. Life is good.
 
Really there are some folks just getting warmed up in their 90's. My uncle just passed a few years back. Believe he was around 98. Up to 97 he lived independently in a retirement community. He was always saying the secret is staying active and having a sense of purpose. He was very involved in his church and the Masons and volunteering with his friends. One year they all got together and made hats...little knitted things, enough for newborn babies in hospitals for counties around.
 
Right Jim (Ole buddy) I'm 91 and enjoying life every day unlike other "old" people who have to take a regimen of pills
for various ailments and using canes, walkers etc. as I've mentioned before.....because I don't NEED any of that stuff.

I have a positive outlook on life.....rather smile than frown, have a cocktail every evening, smoke a pack of blue Pall Malls
and connect with my friends @ the local gin mills.

Excuse me, but my doggie Dino, wants me to get down on the carpet and play with him......and my live-in playmate
(The ex-Miss Maryland) is calling us to dinner.

I don't expect any recriminations from anybody. YOU live YOUR life and I'll live mine, thank you.

Eight years younger. Glasses, dentures, hearing aids, cane. Not doing quite as good as you, but better than most. Most are dead!
You certainly get no recriminations from me. Your living the American dream! Go for it:cheers1:

I'm impressed, Falcon. Long may you run!
 
My mother is 90 but she absolutely refuses to move into the internet world. A couple of years ago, she signed up for an introductory course at the library but quit after a couple of sessions. She is sure that there's no way she can "learn" to use the computer. She's pretty savvy about everything else, but has some sort of mental block about the computer. We've given up trying to convince her that she'd love it if she tried.
 
Us younger one's help to keep the "older" folk young at heart :rofl: I'm one of the young ones 70 next month ..I bought my self a new iPad for my birthday yesterday
 
Another five years to go. We have a club for 90 year olds here that meets once a month
and I volunteer to call the members the day before to remind them of the meeting the
next day. I get very annoyed with people who think that senior residences are for old, senile,
sickly people, they should see how active some of them are, just because they have white hair
or use canes and walkers doesn't mean they no longer partake in events here.

Happy Birthday, Kadee. Isn't it nice when someone gets you exactly what you wanted for your birthday?

Fur, I wish I could do the same with my mom and get her interested in SF. She's in her mid eighties but healthy and active. She's a little cutie. :eek:
