Senior Citizens

and you come back to loads of mail saying you've been missed and are you ok?
This is what has happened to me, so thanks everyone. I will be missing a bit more this week so just wanted to tell you all not to worry. I am out having fun at the country and western festival. If this gets deleted for chatting, hope enough of you have seen it first. hugs x

"Tribal sovereignty means that; it's sovereign. I mean, you're a — you've been given sovereignty, and you're viewed as a sovereign entity. And therefore the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 6, 2004 (Watch video)
You will have to guess who said this.

I read today about results of a study with Catholic priests, nuns and brothers starting at age 75. They did lots of tests over the years and determined that self-disciplined, conscientious people were the least likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. (You would think in that group of people they all should have been self-disciplined and conscientious! Did they slip in a few Wild & Crazy Guys?)

I'm wondering now about my odds of developing Alzheimer's. Self-disciplined I'm not. I'm dependable but that's not the same as conscientious.

Also, the people I've known who had the disease had all led very conservative lives. They had all been very responsible workers, parents, church goers, etc, but developed Alzheimer's in their late 70's or early 80's.

What are your thoughts on this subject?

Of course I'm speaking of YA. People make comments that others probably never see. So I just wondered if anyone "checked back" to see what the late comers said.

Ideally what would you like it to be?

I realize business and retirement are at opposite ends of the spectrum, but many find total retirement dissatisfying and others are finding pensions and social security to be...tight.

This is a 'what if' question. It can be either fanciful or practical.

I remember my Dad leaving the 4 of us in the Brown Woody Rambler, when he went to visit our Mother at the hospital. We lived in the country but she had us at a city hospital. I remember looking up about 5 or 6 stories- at her waving hand.
We did this twice.

Do you know how to communicate with your State Representative and your State Senator (names, mailing addresses or online addies) to register your preference on today's issues?

I want my Congressional rep to truly represent my vote in some very strong feelings I have about today's issues.
Have you ever written your Congress Reps? I'm going to start and wondered about any of you.

My son & his family took me out to eat tonight (and asked that I not drool on the menu) LoL (I'M KIDDING !!!) ...and the waitress told me I was funny. (hopefully , she didn't mean weird) I couldn't make any jokes after that..because she had brought attention to my "funniness" and I didn't want to overdo it. But...it made me feel good that she said that. I told my family, " I TOLD YOU I WAS FUNNY !!!" lol Anyway, it made me feel good that I had "achieved my goal". (esp. after that bummer joke I told last night!) I'M .BAAAAAK !!! I STILL GOT IT !!!

Although I've done the best I can in formulating my avatar to reflect what I look like I couldn't get half gray, half black hair and no 'aging' features...lol - short of uploading a real pic of me.

But I've often wondered whether our avatars 'affect' folk who read our postings.

If it's 'far out there' do they take us seriously?
Does our choice of headress, hairstyle etc. do the same?

Have you ever wondered?

I am aways surprised when they don't know about Thumbelina, Tom Thumb, The Princess and the Pea, Puss n Boots, etc. They aren't even familiar with Mother Goose poems. What happened? To me they are classics that should not be lost.

Grimms Fairy Tales, Esophs Fabels, Han Christian Anderson...

I did 4-H for a very short time. I had no lambs or horses so it wasn't that much fun. I made an apron though!

I was a browine and proud to wear my uniform to school on meeting days. My mom was an assistant leader. When I got into junior high, the entire Girl Scout troop refused to wear the uniform to school. Eventually, the scouts disolved for me.

I was a Cub Scout leader for two years for my son. They wore their uniforms to school. I never see Scouts anymore unless they are selling cookies. Where did the pride go?

that visit this forum, tells us that things that we are reminiscing about are still around and hasn't been that long? I get a chuckle out of it because we are talking about things that happen in our teens (1940s-1960s), and now it is back and fashionable for them.
