    Seniors?

    To answer all .... I'm not going anywhere. I might try to start a group. I would love to share ideas, recipes, places I've been, bucket list, etc.. More importantly, I want to learn, too. I think. The kid was trying to teach me how to play 'Chicken Foot" with a single set of Double Six Domino...

    Seniors?

    Maybe we can ... form a senior group if enough are interested? I am isolated, so I like the idea. I'm not even opposed to dating but I haven't had a real date for over 30 years.

    Seniors?

    I met my grandchild for the first time this week. He'll soon be 13! I had a wonderful time. He wants to come back; sez his other granny is waaaay too cranky.

    Seniors?

    I read a lot of smart young voices here, but I've been curious for a while if there are other seniors like me? I'm retired. I didn't begin to lose my sight and hearing until about age 65. It's been a slow but steady decline ever since. I don't see well enough to learn ASL; I wish I did. I...

    Los Cruces

    Great trip. Been on some of those roads a number of times. The desert is a lot more awesome at 3am than it is at 3pm in the summer. It is extremely hot. .It took about 6 hours to drive from N Arizona to Palm Springs. There were no resource. It was a few more hours to LA. By comparison, the trip...

    Should I upgrade to Yosemite?

    Never had it I've never had issues with WiFi and Mac. What I have had in the past is 3 years of issues with routers and CenturyLink telephone company. It does not support Mac, and it uses old MS software. I must have had 5 or 6 routers before I finally bought an ASUS 'N' router. It was like...

    Should I upgrade to Yosemite?

    I have a Mini running Yosemite 10.10.2. I can't say that I have had any specific problems per se, for a very long time, but there are things I don't like -- especially the merger of Safari with search engines. I do not like the idea of three search engines following me. If you have Lion and...

    Best Places to retire

    I've been fortunate as I lived in several states and was able to travel in North America as an adult. Adults settle where they were raised, or near family, or near things they like. I've done it all. I like large bodies of water, four seasons, great parks and mountains within a reasonable drive...

    5-29-2015 Senior Deaf and Blind Community Update

    If roommates share? IF? At that quoted upscale housing price it keeps the riff-raff and legions of unwashed out. In any case it is not worth 3/4 of my income, or a 1200 mile.move.

    Jury reaches verdict in James Holmes murder trial

    Colorado is not a killing state. The depraved indifference he showed may sway the jury toward death. .

    Meeting the hearing parents

    When one marries, you marry the family for better or for worse. Sometimes the families are warm and welcoming and sometimes they pretend to be warm welcoming. My spouse was of retirement age when we married. I didn't learn about the family secret. Everyone pretended that everything was...

    Where are you from?

    South of Chicago, East of Missouri, and probably not where you ever lived -- if you were really lucky :D .

    Frustrated with my audiologist

    My aids are about 3 years old so I assume they are digital. If comparing analog aids versus digital aids are anything like comparing the old wired telephone versus the new DSL or VoIP digital telephone .. then I can clearly understand why every one would want analog aids. I've experimented...

    Hearing vs Deaf

    I am a late deaf senior who is also L V (Low vision). I am surrounded by thoughtless people who don't understand, who don't want to understand, and those who refuse to understand. But they all mean well. They believe it also gives them license to steal, lie, cheat, and not do the job they are...

    ASL Docent?

    I wish I knew the answer. One would think large exhibits, like art museums and galleries, and even the zoo in NYC would have a docent or two.
