We need an old people's forum
Edited on Sun Jan-23-05 10:56 AM by oneighty
for the old and the weak and the home bound and the ancient ones (Really really old DUers like 180).

And now we can add in the younger DUers also home bound due to snow storms.

7. If you are lonely
and bored yes. If you spend endless hours trying to see your toes without glasses yes.

If your only contact with the outside world is your computer screen yes.

And I forgot the other things I was thinking about mentioning.

13. Seniors and Aging
That is too serious a place.

We need a FUN forum like they young peoples got. I want to discuss such things as "Hey everybody! You seen my teeth anyplace." And such as that.

Yes Indeed.
