A real senior is 65 years old or older and could be 62 but no younger.

Hi. I would say that I have not learned a thing on this forum because not many post questions and answers that belong to his site. But not to worry, I have my elderly parents still around and I learned through them that older people have to be loved, respected and admired. I was raised like Asian people when it comes to the care of their elderly. I raised my daughers the same beliefs too. I will give my life for my parents because they took care of me when I was under their care, now is time for me to show that I Iove them each day even more. I´m a lucky person having my parents alive, and I give thanks to the lord everyday for this gift he has given me.

I really shouldn't be answering, due to my lack of years. What the heck! I've learned wonderful humor, patience and a new way to look at older folks. I think that I have a greater respect for those in their senior lives. I have also learned that even though I may be younger than most here, they have all given me a nice welcome. You are all so helpful ..... thank you!

Quite a bit actually. I learned a most important lesson about older people in marriage may have talked about their demise and made plans that not are not known to the children. Such as when to call for help or when to go to the hospital and to what lengths to go to keep each other alive.
Before I just assumed my Dad would want to live at all costs as long as we took care of him. Older friends here posed answers that made me see he might not have wanted to live dependent on us to do most every basic thing for him.

I've learned a lot from the seniors, but also from some
of the younger folk that stop in from time to time. The main
thing is that it's a pleasant place to stop off because most
of the folks are civil and humor laden. (minimal trolling is great) ((I'm 64))

What I've learned:
1. Patience - it takes time and INVOLVEMENT to get to know the regular members :-)
2. That I'm not alone with many memories; thoughts; values and lifestyle
3. That generally speaking, people do mellow with age :-)
4. That many of us are alive and well and still enjoying this wonderful world! - and that we have wit and are not only interested in our failing bodies! lOL

The wealth of knowlege is just so amazing. I am sometimes in awe of the memories and the experineces. I know that I still have so much more to learn and do in my life.
I am 55.

You don't always know how old the person is. They don't always reveal that in any way.
