Anyone from the United States?

I am new to this site and I have only seen posts from across the big pond. Not that I don't want to chat with people from other areas. I was just curious if this is a global site.

Hello! Just joined!! I'm very happy to find a community of tech saavy seniors. I am a "young" 68. LOL -- I'm not much for senior get togethers in real life because I don't feel like a senior. I have a new career in my semi-retirement that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! I work for Comfort Keepers doing home care. I never imagined the relationships I would form and the wisdom I would glean from helping people every day. In some ways, I think I may have missed my calling!! However, I have learned to look forward to all the possibilities that lie before me instead of focusing on the mistakes I made or the opportunities I missed in the past.
I think this may be the most fulfilling time of my life. Love my kids, but they were pretty time-consuming. I am in the process of becoming the best version of "me", and that process is really exciting. My kids are still around, and I see them periodically, but I have my new career and my online business that I am building which keep me connected and moving forward.
Just in case you think life has always been rosy--- not so!! In my 50s I discovered that I had been depressed for most of my life. At that point I made it my business to find out everything I could about depression. I became a host in the About.com Depression Chat Room. I went and met in person several of the "chatters" who were local to me!! I know that is not recommended, but I now know I am a risk taker!! All's well that ends well. And actually, one of my fellow hosts became an "adopted" member of my family. He was like an uncle to my kids.
Probably my depression experience makes me soooo appreciate the excitement of my current life and the positivity I experience every day.
I would love to hear from my "new friends" here.

Hi Char!

WOW!
That’s fantastic, what your doing today. I’m 62, but seriously, what is 62 supposed to feel like? lol
I’m 62 going on 20, I’m not going to let a silly number slow me down.
I was recently widowed in 2020, very unexpected, but I’m back now, and having a blast, leaving house maintenance.
Unfortunately, my neighbors don’t share my enthusiasm, they liked my husband’s work better, lol .
So, what if things are a bit uneven and I decided not to mow the grass in favor of Margarita day?
Life goes on and the grass isn’t going anywhere, lol .
It actually took me a year to get over my weed whacker fear, some I deserve some credit.
It think it’s wonder how your helping others.
I take care of my deceased parents best friends, who are in their late 80’s, and are a hoot.
I keep them hopping and have learned so much doing so.
I love to cook, so they know they will never be without treats or a nice meal.
So, what kind of business do you have?
Anyway, I’m happy to see and hear your doing well, I love your spunk!

I am new here. I live in Kentucky, but spent the majority of my life in Southern California. I am 59 and recently widowed. My husband moved from the UK to marry me. I am hoping to make friends and meet like-minded people to talk to.

I enjoy reading, history, crafty things, cats, and a good cup of tea.

This is my first time signing onto this website. I found that the sites in the United States just weren’t to my liking outside of AARP. So I said I would try this. I live in the Midwest. I’m a middle-aged woman. Who was recently diagnosed with a spinal disease. I work full-time but I know if I don’t get the proper care I may not be able to walk in 3 to 5 years. I just need it somewhere that I can go on and just be me.

Hi Guys,
I have been told I am the nicest person but very sarcastic. Hey sarcasm is the highest form of intelligence, I thought it was a compliment…. So would you all like to discuss travel, lifestyle, food, music, film, renovations, etc? Notice I avoid politics and religion. X

I'm from the west coast of the US. I'm hoping to find here that people do not pick on other members. So many sites I've been to end up in verbal brawls. By this age I always hope people have grown beyond that. I look forward to good exchanges with good folks in the US and other places.

Hello from the Other coast of the USA.....South Florida to be exact. I am brand new to the site and just browsing around ...especially to find others stateside. Not interested in picking on anybody but sometimes my rather dry sense of humor is mistaken for that. If your interested, give me a holler.

Hello in Colorado!
Beautiful state, minus the politics.
Have a daughter who lives there in her off season from firefighting.
She’s an avid hiker and is in heaven there.

Thanks camp,
Making my worst nightmares come true! I love my son. Oh by the way he is doing really well in Dallas, is that the Oxford voice, or maybe you are wrong? It’s just if you follow a dream and believe, you can attain it. Don’t know a lot about American politics, I’m sorry in my country I was always conservative but moving towards labour now. RV oh my goodness no! Especially if it hasn’t got thread count on bedding. I’m not a pompous person just British

Hi Canp,
Still living in the Uk. Looking to relocate to Dallas for family. Sorry about my ignorance; I haven’t got a clue how far Arizona is from Dallas. Although, I have visited America for work and holidays. Looking for a friend to chat too,. It is all a bit daunting to transition at my age, I’m Sixty. Hope you will reply and can let me know the things to be mindful off.
Kind Regards,
AJ.
