I have a rocking chair, I don’t use it, i do use my iPad, I am addicted to it and consider it the most useful device, it is a library in your hand. I am reasonably mobile and do get out of the empty house to get groceries. I do wear a back support prophylacticly. My career was medical, and I feel a mission to help others, that do not have a medical advocate in their familiesWelcome! .. from Texas
I hadn't thought about it until I saw 'Octogenarian' in your post
.... I'm new to that club this year .... Is it time to go out and buy a rocking chair?
I really enjoy most the company of 50-60 year olds ... and a few teenagers.![]()
As Seniors we don't want to practice age-ism ourselves. We get to interact with Seniors of all ages. We all have something to share. It's Likea Win-Win!

Anyhow, no matter what age someone is, the conversations are fun, serious when they need to be, and often educational.It would be beneficial if we had a forum just for 70-80 year olds, because we have more in common with each other!
