Seems the mention of real things or anything not related to wasted energy or Taylor Swift is too hard to talk about so I won’t bother anyone anymore with questions or polls about serious senior citizens.
I wish everyone the best and take care!
Feel free to share support for those who might need help with aging and/or all of the concerns that are associated with this part of the journey we call life.
 

There are many real threads about serious stuff. There are threads about the latest shootings… 20 dead, 100 injured. There are threads about war, threads about inflation, mixed with threads about Taylor Swift, what we had for dinner.

This forum mirrors real life. There are some who dig deep into serious threads and some who just like light banter. Considering there’s
no politics, I think our members here do a great job.

In your introduction thread, instead of telling us about yourself, you instead asked us 6 questions. We answered your questions and asked some from you.

You started a serious thread which drew in quite a crowd. It had 20 postings the last I looked which is quite a lot. Some threads get no answers.

We aren’t all the same Blue Collar.
We did try & make you feel welcome.
Most people who start out a first post asking questions are people trying to sell us something.

Lastly, there’s a lot of serious stuff going on in our world today. Some stuff is mind boggling; so much so that I’m incredibly thankful to read the light hearted stuff. Thank goodness there’s light handed stuff.

Do you think you might be taking yourself too seriously at the moment. Maybe sleep on it.
Tomorrow’s a new day. I hope you stay but if you go, I wish you the best.
 
Well I'm sure nobody else saw the joke. Thanks, Patty, for your wise words. .

This is exactly what we do here. We laugh, cry, complain, question and support each other in our struggles with life, aging and even the meaningless little things. I, for one, wish I had found this wonderful place years ago.

There are so many threads here that we might not get to even read all. But even getting to a few is helpful in laughter or information.

We are all from different places, time zones and with different experiences in our life. Sometimes it takes a while to even notice a thread. Not everyone that reads a post will comment or react, however, you may be assured something has been taken from the post.

I don't know what you were expecting. I hope you return to join in and contribute in the forum. If not, I wish you well.

You didn't bother me, but I don't understand the purpose of the polling.

I'm just anti-survey all the time now. It's not you - it's the surveys. Even Amazon now, every time I pick up a package, sends me an email saying "We'd like to know how your package collection experience went."

"#*&^ YOU AMAZON! You're just collecting data and if some poor Amazon Worker made a mistake, you're going to use that data against them, so **** YOU." That is my inner reply as I click delete.

Quickest way to get me to delete a message or email is to ask me to respond to a survey. **** your data collection OBSESSION.

@Blue Collar Poetry I have nothing against you, but in regular conversations, people usually don't hand one another surveys.

I'm sorry if my swearing offended any. But more and more it's Man Vs. Machine in this world and I think the machines are winning. They win with every survey we foolishly complete.

Now that is what I call a short attention span. He didn’t even stick around long enough to see his poll wrap up on the 29th.
