I like to go on to Seniors to read and answer some interesting questions. I think I am going to read something interesting and all I get is a joke! I am not being a grumpy old bag but if I wanted jokes and riddles....Yes you've guessed it,I would go onto jokes and riddles.
Sorry to all of you who have put Jokes on here, I know they are very funny but can we have some proper questions?

I think I may have to be prepared to get beaten up here. Me with my bad back and all!

Mrs. Badgrumbles, if you read my question correctly you will see that I said 'I am NOT a grumpy old bag' How dare you contradict me!. With a name like that you are a fine one to talk. LOL!!!

this question is 3 days old, and yet it is still on the 5th page.
out of those 5 pages many of them are jokes, but most of them are "do you remember" questions.
there are some serious question on this section, but they are few and far between.
I came to this section looking for answers that were relevant to my age group.
only to find it full of "do you remember" questions.
like you I would love to see more relevant questions.
but I also like to make people smile, and if I can brighten another seniors day, then can that be so bad?
I do ask some questions to shake thing up a bit.
but I do have trouble thinking of a lot of them, and I am sure that others would also enjoy them also.
if you can think of some, or have some questions that you would like to see answers to, then please post them< I would love to see them, and am sure others would also.

Riddles For Seniors

We need a mixture on Seniors I think. There are times I need a laugh and it's nice to get that with the folks here I'm comfortable with. Actually nearly every question asked here could go in another category, as we're often reminded. Most of us want to share things or get responses from the folks in the 'senior' section though.
One good thing is we can chose to answer or not, any question, if it's something you don't like, skip it. You can ask proper questions and I'm sure folks will answer those too. As people we're not always going to like the same things or agree, that's part of what makes it so interesting here. Hope the back feels better soon, I know that can be very painful.

I think you need to, as the kids say, "chill" or "lighten up."
There's enough seriousness in the world, and as you get older, you realize life is short and it's better to chuckle than to fret over a state of affairs you no longer have control over, except at the polls.
Do you remember the old Readers' Digest? It had a regular feature titled "Laughter Is the Best Medicine." That's still true today.
We're senior citizens, not stand-up comics. We post entries to our own kind of people.
Edit -- Note to Katetrinity: You come across as very prim and proper and unfriendly. Whether you agree or disagree, you don't appear to be warm, and this dissuades people from giving you the thumbs "up." This is as serious as I get. Sorry.

No beatings from me, but jokes and riddles thrown into the mix are fine....after all, we don't have to respond if we don't want to...an occasional laugh never hurt anyone. Hell, half the questions and 3/4's the answers are funny also..so there is little harm in this. WE see very few real deep questions here, and, regardless of how heavy the question, I always wonder if anyone takes the advice offered...probably not. Peace and love, Goldwing

I really like them. Jokes and riddles don't have that many good jokes. It's mostly riddles, which I don't care for. Maybe because I usually can't figure them out. Duh! Some of jokes here are about seniors and I get a kick out them. I email them to my son and my senior friends. We shouldn't be serious all the time.

Hi Susie, I understand what you are saying and I know you aren't grumpy.
Being one of the guilty ones, I thought I'd explain why I do it.
It's because sometimes I can't think of a sensible q but I still like to interact and make people smile, the replies make me laugh when I'm having a bad day too.
I do my best to answer some sensible q's as well though! lol
Hugs x

Why go to Jokes and riddles when you can have a laugh on here and some of us have a riddle as well if we don't get to the loo in time.

Sorry about your bad back Susie and I hope I don't hurt it more but.......
When you go to answer the question and see it is a joke you could hit the back button and move on. I mean that in the kindest way.
It is usually the same people who tell the jokes so you could also avoid their questions.
I happen to like them and it saves me the trouble of going to jokes and riddles whose most jokes I don't like.The people in Seniors have pretty much ones I haven't heard and are truly funny and intelligent.
Sorry you don't like them but sometimes a good laugh is just great!!

laughter is the best medicine..so if someone wants to post a joke or riddle so be it..I like this site as people seem to be able to post whatever they want..and most readers accept that..read what they want, ignore what they don't want..and most of the time still remain friends..
