Is it time for Trump to go?Yes, Trump should go. We don't know too much about his replacement should he resign, Mike Pence, but gambling on him seems less risky that staying with Trump.ViewDate:

Finding the right senior chat room for youResponding to Yodama, I live in the place called "sin city". But that often leaves me guilty that I'm not contributing my share to the sinning. Too busy doing other things, I guessViewDate:

Finding the right senior chat room for youReplying to Wellies, I remember Tasmania from a long bicycle trip I took there many years ago. I wanted to do a circumferential trip, but the roads there do not lend themselves to that sort of thing. Not very good on computers ? Me too. I hit the "caps lock" button so many times by accident that I finally took my pliers and removed that button from my keyboard !ViewDate:

Finding the right senior chat room for youReplying to Yodama as well as to others, I'm hard at work acting as carer (we call it caregiver) for my long-term female companion. But I'm not complaining. At the age of 88, things for me could be much worse. I can walk very well and unlike many, have no financial problems.ViewDate:

caring for an aged parentI'm not caring for an ageing parent, I myself am that ageing person. I'm 88 and am active as companion and caregiver for my 93-year-old female partner. I'm very active, because I have to be. I walk to shopping, though it's maybe three times the distance that most people would regard as "walkable shopping" . To assist me, I use a small shopping wheeled cart, plus a pack on my back to carry the overload. I look back with amusement many decades, when my father got into a big argument with his brother. My father thought that he and his brother should assume care for my grandfather, though that older person was younger than I am now. The brother disagreed. My big failing with postings is that I can get too wordy, so it's time to stop.ViewDate:

Finding the right senior chat room for youWas pleased to find someone who is or was into kayaking. Among all the sports I was into, kayaking was the king of them all. I made the mistake however of getting into kayaking too late in life. I was 50 when I first got into it. Still, I had a great 30-year career of kayaking before the intrusion of the years made me give it up. About these postings generally, I'm amazed at how young most of the people are. Lots of them are young enough to be my offspring !ViewDate:

Finding the right senior chat room for youI didn't realize until I arrived on this site that it's a UK-based site. But that should be ok. After all, the language differences between the UK and the US are minimal.
