Senior Citizens

O.K. so I'm on a roll now it seems. Is this phenomenon anything to do with age? I used to be a size 8 (very tiny) but now a size 18 is more the thing. My wardrobe is creaking and groaning with the different sizes I insist on keeping in there. O.K. I live in hope ! Anyone have the same problem?

and why would a question like "do you know of a better bunch of folks?" be considered inappropriate? And who took the rubber tip off my cane??? (I guess they expect questions like that in the seniors section!)

Being bored or overwhelmed?

I had a 'friend' of MANY yrs.but got sick and tired of being her sounding board so to speak / plus everytime we ever did anything like go to NYC or a movie,it was always her way or the highway
She also let it be known to me about her jealousies of me, abt the fact I have a good husband complaining she has no one. and that she has bills piled up to her head and I don't have to worry abt that. That she's a caregiver to her Mother and mine is independent plus married. All she ever did was act either angry at me for successes in my life as well as other things I've achieved/I guess I just got sick of feeling like her therapist when she wasn;'t really there for me.
I don't know anyone else around here.
All my relatives live out of state/yes I have a good husband but one must have friends too,right?
I feel like I'm starting at square one w/my social life,help!
p.s. tried to be as supportive as I could w/that 'friend' but always felt like the perpetual giver and ended up feeling very use

Some of my answers have not even been posted. And they were all very nice answers that would not have offended anyone? That means that they are been looked at, and deleted? Howocme?

I just saw one in another category and
was about to report it, only there is no
way (that I can see) for calling Yahoo's
attention to the avatar. The avatar is
not even listed under violations.
Do we just let it go?

For me, I think I would have waited a couple more years before having my first child. Not that I wasn't a good mother, but I still had a lot of growing up to do myself. I was much more focused and had my priorities straight when my second son was born.

So...what would YOUR "do over" be?

for a reason. That was a great saying of my Grandmother's. I often wonder what was the reason I was born for, and did you ever wonder the reason why you were born.
Me I am still trying to figure it out.

Since we are nearing Halloween, I saw in the T V listing, The Fog, Creepshow 2, Exorcist, Halloween, and other low budget movies. For some reason I like to look at The Fog everytime it is shown. Also, I hear they are putting on the Donald Sutherland/Brooke Adams version of that pea pod movie that originally starred Kevin McCarthy and Dana Winters. Unfortunately the name escapes me.

Mine forced me to play the accordian. I hated it. Now that I'm much older, I wish that I had learned to play and read music. At least I could have used that knowledge to play the piano.

other people here who report, or is it because of the people who work for Yahoo? And how bad does it have to be in order for you to report someone? The only time I ever report is when someone is rudely attacking another with really foul language.

Or what was the funniest thing you did to some one else? That didn't get them too mad at you?

For some reason, that stands out for me. loved drawing with crayons on the large sheets of manilla paper-gigantic jack-o-lanterns, witches on broomsticks, bright yellow moons and large bats. It was all so much fun because Halloween didn't mean anything to us specifically-no evil or negative associated with it.
I think that artwork was one of the few things that brought happiness to me as a child.
Indeed it was my escape from the real world! Can't remember going trick or treating though.

I was about 8yrs old. My mother thought it was so disgusting, that a white girl was in love with him. I think the movie had nothing to do with that. She just respected him. I love the song by LULU. What do you think?

I heard this once at least 40 years ago and still remember it. Here's to a woman that beautiful vine, who blooms once a month and bears once in 9--the only creature this side of hell that can get the goody from a nut without breaking the shell. If you didn't want to hear it well sorry. Clink!!??

What's your secret to staying young, alive, and hopeful with all the negative that exists in our world today? How does it all compare to when you were young? Is it pretty much the same or is the world a much different place today? I'd love to hear stories and would appreciate whatever anyone over 65 has to say.

recreational submarine with a pair of robotic arms on it. You can use the sub to explore and do useful things, or being seniors you can do sneaky things with the robotic arms and the sub. Which would you do and how and why?

You know the crazies come out tonight. I'm not sure whether to batten down the hatches against a Dragon attack or to look toward the Dragons for protection. What wooly boogered beasties might we encounter this fine October evening?

I don't think I could be induced into relaxing enough. I don't like to feel like I'm not in control. I know it is used to help solve crimes and to help in stop smoking, losing weight etc.

Tonight and tomorrow (Oct. 25, 26) will be the largest full moon in 2007. It is no illusion. The moon will be 14% wider and 30% brighter than any full moon this year. Stunning!
