There are so few people joining in this category?Older people have so much to share.Do you think the nastiness from some puts them off?

Here is something that would be of interest to matured persons (ie aka senior citizens).

It was reported that a cat, named Oscar, raised at a nursing home would curl up with a patient who would die within two hours. So far, he has been right in 25 cases. The report is at the url below -

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070725/ap_on_fe_st/death_cat

He would do so not any earlier - just about two hours before only, as one case showed.

Would you agree to pets at nursing homes?
Do you have similar pet stories/experience?
Weird, huh?

(There is a pic of the cat - really cute and loveable.)

I get up, get my coffee and play a few games just to kick my brain into gear to where it can function. I like mahjong, and bejewelled, and free cell. When my daughter was talking to me we have a great time playing Wheel of Fortune via msn messenger - I do crosswords, and watch Jeopardy as well.

I cannot get the hang of sudoku, yet - it takes me awhile to figure things out.

I find playing games wake up my brain, how about the rest of you?

We once had a Citizens Bank credit card. We have not--by their records--charged anything since 2001. We asked them to close the card a couple years latter. We just got what looked like junk mail from them, and I didn't do my usual tear up and throw away thing--I opened it. It was a bill for $29 as a charge for being part of their rewards program, which we have never agreed to and didn't care about because we had closed the account. We had to spend a lot of time to get them to rescend the bill as they said we had not closed the card. If we hadn't caught it, we wouldn't have paid the minimum, and there would have been a large non-payment fine.
PLEASE pass the word to all the seniors & others about this "procedure" being used by Citizens Bank to make themselves more money.

1964 - I was in the 11th grade. A senior was going surfing and asked me to go to the beach with him.

Mom and dad were building a waterfall for the swimming pool and their mission was to collect rocks. When he came to pick me up, mom asked, "What beach are you going to? Do they have rocks there?" Yes they did.

The beach was below a cliff. There I was making-out with this guy in the sand and when I looked up, guess who was standing on the cliff watching us? I was very embarrassed to say the least!

do some on here attack others on their views, send hateful and vile emails when you dont agree with thier point... put labels on us like anti or pro, some of us on here have completely different views than others.. i for one respect everyones right to their own opinions, after all this is not a chat room its q and answers....i know it is only a very very small amount of people on here causing this unease, but it only takes a few... so lets lighten up and respect other posters here...

I have heard that women who are legal secretaries are having massive difficulties in finding new jobs (especially) good jobs if they happen to be over 50 years old.

I have done business with a lady who used to work in the six figures range who claims that she cannot get any job for even minimum wage. She is over 70 years old.

I constantly hear about the elderly getting screwed out of their retirement plans and having to come back out of retirement and working for quite a few years still to be able to have a decent retirement when they are done.

Is America private club?

"Only the young, beautiful, influential, wealthy, and famous people get to enjoy life here"

Screw the rest of us...

It's true that some no longer should be driving, but what if they don't have taxi fare or friends or relatives to transport them? What if mass transit is poor or non-existent?

And don't you just know that kids behind an elderly person getting on the bus are just dying to push her along so they can get on more quickly?

Now I need some flexible part time work, I was for the most of my career a Medical Unit Clerk, and scheduling clerk, but the field has changed so much, and with hospitals mandatory 12 hour shifts thats just to much for me. I need to bring in about $600.00 a month to help my family, any jobs, or little business I could start, any ideas at all? I also would like to work in my neighborhood, but not on line as I need to get out of the house some too. Thanks alot.

Are they -
- realised
- still intact, but left behind
- changed, because they are just that:dreams and ideals, not
reality
- still dreams and ideals, to be realised nonetheless


What would be dreams and ideals for matured people to achieve?

Thanks, matured citizens.

My parents are getting older each day. Soon they will reach their retiring ages. I am a secondary school graduate and make just enough for myself. I really am worried that they can't make their life safely in Hong Kong in the future
