Senior Citizens

It is so difficult now to manage the home. If it weren't for my wife I'd be sunk. We want to know if it gets easier to deal with all of the little problems that the kids come up with as they get older. I know that their problems change and, if possible, become more complicated.

So ... I guess the real question is do they change or do we???

Cruising YQA it doesn't take long to see that people of most age groups have a broad range of opinions about matters, and they state those opinions as absolutes.

Most of the opinions contradict similar certainties held by others on the same QAs. Meaning the opinions are based on flawed information, or reasoning.

But it's pervasive.

One of the ways I try to keep my mind from atrophying is by backtracking the certainties I hold, and questioning them constantly.

Did we TEACH these youngsters to believe they know everything about everything, or did they come by it some other way?

Senior Citizens over 60 only, please.

You younger models have already had your say, coming at the question from other directions.

It's Friday, and I have finished work for the week and am off to the gym later to pump iron and have a lovely sauna. My also lovely partner has just contacted me to say that he is in port fairly near and so can get home on Sat. for just one night. Great! BT have just text me to say that they have found a fault on my line and will repair it (no phone for three days now) so have to hang around for that , but so far all is well in my world. How about you?

I've been visiting other sites and I just don't feel comfortable there. I gave what I thought was a nice, reasoned answer to a question, and got two thumbs down.

So, I'm slinking back home to where I feel more comfortable -- in seniors.

This is a complex subject, but what do you think are some of the reasons for the crimes.I have no real answers but I have thoughts. 1.Guns can easily be imported in containers 2.Kids can divorce themselves from the reality of their actions due to things like computer games e.g.Grand Theft Auto 3. Parents do not spend enough time or instill enough moral value in their children for various reasons. I am sure their are other things so what do you think

Tried something like this over on the UK SC and got some............interesting answers. Directed to the northern states. As a trucker and cruiser (car) I've only missed AK, ME, NH and VT. Never had a problem with any of the northern states. Anybody feel like the Civil War (War of Northern Aggression :) ) is still goin on?

Background:- I have two degrees and other qualifications, have a responsible job and run my own business as well and function well at work. What, do I hear you ask is the problem then? I hate to admit it but I just cannot remember people's names! I get very irritated with myself. Is this just me, or is anyone else out there having the same thing? Hang on, Who am I again?

I read over on the USA board that Seniors was a little shy of questions over here, so popped in to ask one.
A lot of Americans I know consider GB as the mother country. We might squabble and carry on a bit, but we'll usually side with you when the going gets rough.

When I clicked on #99's avatar, it said that the information is no longer available. Is that the beginning of the end for him or am I just being overly optimistic?

The Internet is full of them.

Troll as it's used here probably derived from a chain of usage.

Trawl is a method of fishing... moving through the water with lines baited.

Came to be trolling later with smaller boats.

Then it came into slang usage among truckers. They described guys who hung out in mens' rooms in rest areas as trolls, because they were 'trolling' for other men.

Trolls on the Web are doing much the same thing, but they're usually looking for a way disrupt, or shock.

Frequently profanity, graphic sex, or just meaningless questions and answers are what they're fishing for.

Surely,this cannot be August. Here, in East Anglia, we haven't seen a glimmer of sunshine for at least three days. We have had gale force winds which brought several trees down, loads of rain and, what seems like a dark grey blanket for the sky.
The temperature is about 14 degrees. Last night I would easily have given in and put the central heating on but I couldn't because we have an air lock that we have to sort.
I just hope the rest of you have got the sun 'cos we certainly haven't.
