Why Did you Join Senior Forums?

I was looking for a forum to converse with others in my age group and get advice on aging and retirement.
I think it's a great group of people and I thoroughly enjoy the conversations.
I'm not a big talker so sometimes I just read and sometimes I take a break for a while.
Sort of my "corner bar" I go hang out at when I want to see friends.
 

I was a member of a couple of forums that became smaller and smaller. Some disappeared, 2 became Facebook private groups, and one remains with only a few members. I was looking for a place for intelligent conversation, and a place where I was not the oldest member by far.

I also had a lot of questions, since most of my friends are a bit younger.

I have been glad that I found this forum. I get different perspectives and a chance to ask questions. I also get to complain about "minor" things like arthritis pain, while knowing that others are facing cancer and more daunting issues, but others also recognize the hassle of constant pain (even though not life-threatening).

I have enjoyed the varied perspectives and learned a lot.
 
I can't remember when or why I joined. I had been a member of other forums that closed.

I am a member of two other forums. One is a political forum. The other one is a mixed bag.

The political forum depresses me, that's why I'm glad this one doesn't allow politics.
