Senior Citizens

I got married the first time in 1975, should have known better I was only 18, the wedding was beautiful. I remarried in 1993, and the invitation list was getting so large, we just went to JP, and had a small gathering with our family and closest friends..

Someone in my family, although enrolled in what appears to be HMO_at least as far as I know it is what could be considered a complete medical plan_as well as having Medicare, does not have enough money for the co-payments, which appear to be incrementing now, as well as suddenly having to pay almost three times more for Albuterol pump cans than she was five or six months ago.

At some point years back she did have Medicaid. Years went by and she re-aplied. And apparently through negligence from social worker, was kept waiting for six whole months, and there was such a confusion as to whether she qualified or not. In the meantime then she spent hundreds of dollars, apparently unecessarily, simply because she had not wanted to buy the generic brands. Today she's in great need, and although monthly government income is pretty low and only supplements her husband's low Social Security payments which it's around 650 dollars or less, it's even extremely hard to qualify her for foodstamps.

Being a senior, I have not had to confront this issue, but I want to offer condolences to anyone who has.
My question is, do you agree that it is the most devastating loss one could have?

Some of us have experienced a broken marriage, some of us have lost a spouse to death.
Do you, as seniors, feel that a loss due to divorce (that you did not want) can be as devastating as a death of a spouse?

Example: Jane Doe's husband finds another love and divorces her. She is devastated because it is truly a death of a marriage to her but very hard because this person is still alive and it hurts a lot.
Example 2: Jane Doe's husband dies and she receives sympathy cards, and her friends rally around her with love and encouragement.
Point I am trying to make: Do you consider one more devastating than the other? If so, please express your opinions. I hope I worded this correctly. Any loss is sad but...how do you feel?

This is placed in the Senior Citizens section because we have lived longer and are more aware of the impact both of these have.

and was just about to jump back into bed when I got the shock. I opened the curtains and saw all the birds flying around with tartan scarfs
on, not only that I looked at the duck pond and the ducks had on wolly jumpers with hats to match. I mean would that not give you a shock or a laugh which one would it be.

I am talking about the 80+ or over drivers who just won't give up their keys. Yesterday, my parked car was hit by an 85 yr old man. He was trying to parallel park and obviously misjudged the distance he had and slammed right into the entire side of my car causing damage.

After he hit my car he realized he couldn't squeeze into the spot so pulled off and drove down the street. I witnessed the whole thing. He got out of his car and started to go into his house. He had no intention of owning up to what he just did. I told him I had called the cops and he seemed totally shocked that I would do this! Needless to say I filed my claim against his insurance.

Don't you think elderly people shouldn't be allowed on the road? Had I been standing by my car he would have plowed right into me!

The news that sexual interest and activity doesn't wane with the years may have shocked the kids and grandkids, but there are knowing nods and a few grumbles among the senior set and those who work with them.
A study of the sex lives of 3,005 men and women ages 57-85, published in August in the New England Journal of Medicine, sparked talk about such frisky behavior by those old enough to know better

A quite awful dilemma.

Hattie has been a very helpful and wise chicken.
Brenda has always had a lot of spirit. Not the eaiest to get on with - but with attitude around the yard!
Geraldine is somewhat aloof but adds a certain class to the hen house.

The time has come - well Sunday actually when the extended family come to lunch - for one of the girls to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Which one?

This may be shallow - but Hattie is the better looking - but is that enough to reprieve her?

It's your call ............. a lot is riding on this for the girls!

I have an idea of what a commercial would look like but I need more ideas of why it would appeal to the elderly or what can be said to appeal to them and make them want to go? Thanks.

Today a rep. from HICAP (which is an agency that helps Seniors with all their
insurance questions), addressed our Sr.
lunch program and told us......
All Part D recipients that were on Medicaid or MediCal and transferred over to subsidized insurance coverage
for your meds.....Will receive a very
IMPORTANT questionnaire from Soc.
Security in the next few days.
This is legitimate and must be filled out in full and returned to the address
they state.
If this is not returned by the deadline
they set....you will no longer receive
subsidized meds.
The meds I speak of are when you
only have to pay $1.00 to $6.00 per
prescription (due to your low income.)
Why are we getting this? Because
at the start of the program, the Feds
transferred over everyone that was
on Medicaid without a recertification.
There were people that did not qualify,
so now we must all prove that we qualify for this program.
If you can help any other Sr. with poor
eyesight or who does not understand
please do!!

Or do you leave your car parked in the garage. How about Large pick ups and 18 wheelers.. We should form a caravan in DC and demand that gas prices have to come down.

And what are they?

I do, and find that it horrifies me when I see what some of the young people ask.

But on the brighter side, I go to Journalism, there is a lot of interesting stuff in there, especially from investigative journalists, who have done their homework

At the start of your marriage/relationship was your Mother-in-law a sinner or a saint? Did it all begin a little tense and then turn out well - or was it always a little bit of a battleground?

And are you now the perfect in-law to your off-springs partner?

I would venture that husbands mothers are by far worse than daughters mothers due to the former never wanting another woman to have her 'little boy'!

What do you think?
