Senior Citizens

I have to write a paper for my Psychology class. The assignment is to interview someone 65 or older, and ask these questions:

How do you feel about your age?
How do young people treat you?
Is there anything you miss that you used to be able to do and now are unable to do?

I hope these questions are not too personal. I am not fortunate enough to have someone 65 or older in my family to interview, so I am looking to you for help. Serious, honest answers only, please. Thank you so very much! :o)

I have been emailing some people and things are going well, then suddenly YA won't send them. So if I am not answering any of your emails, that's why. I do, but get a failure notice.

make you worry for your children and grandchildren? I think about what kind of world have I brought my children into and what will it be like for my grandchildren when they are my age.I had such a free and easy life when I was a kid and so did my children until the past few years.It's scary.

Things that should have bloomed earlier in the year are now coming out and things that should be out in the winter also are now in bud. Plants that should be dying are flourishing. Whats going on?

Having the gvmt force us into one kind of retirement plan is not only the antithesis of freedom, but it also forces us to take risks with our money that we normally wouldn't.

Don't you agree that retirement planing should be the job of the individual and not the job of the gvmt?

Don't you think you could do better with planning your retirement if you did it yourself?

Do many of you like to do that? I'm going to lie out in my yard for a couple of hours, too lazy to go to the pool. It's still hot enough here to tan up to 6:00 pm or later. How about where you live?

I was at the casino and a young gentleman joined the table. Said something about his elderly wife. I said"So, your a trophy husband!!" They whole table just cracked up.
So, are you a trophy spouse?
I consider myself a great catch, though I do have some medical problems, which deminish my enthusasim. That's life. I have told my husband if he would feel better with some one else, the door is open.
He assures me that I am the one for him, thou I am a few years older than him.
Maybe he sticks around just to see what life is about to hand him or maybe he's just comfortable with me:~) He's a good man

WASHINGTON - An investigation by federal and state regulators of "free lunch" investment seminars aimed at seniors has found high-pressure sales pitches masquerading as educational sessions, pervasive misleading claims for unsuitable financial products, and even fraud.

Much of the blame goes to investment firms for failing to properly supervise their employees who put on the seminars for seniors, according to the report of the investigation being made public Monday. By law, the sales pitches made at the seminars and the materials provided to participants must be approved by a brokerage or investment firm's supervisors

Or do you need some kind of noise other than nature around you most or all of the time? I used to be that way, but have found that since I'm getting older I enjoy comparative quiet. (not that children playing, a baby crying,or a dog barking bother me, because I enjoy hearing them) Opinions, please, and thanks.

I enjoy history, observing cultures and metal detecting. I'm a junkyard archeologist. Time doesn't exist during these outings.

I have worked for Strauss Auto for 3 years. Almost everyday at the register a senior citizen expected a discount. Their eye brows would go up in confusion. What should we do?
