Hi, thinking of retiring in a couple of years. We are hoping to be no further than 30 mins drive from coast, we have dogs that love the beach as we do! Don’t mind a rural ish area as long as there is a thriving community and close to amenities. Anyone could offer some suggestions?

I am a 63 years old gentleman. I have Parkinson's Disease but am very fit and self caring. I am looking for a female companion to share everything with.

It is easy to feel aggrieved by those in power, however, does it achieve anything? No. The reason it doesn’t is because only “action” achieves anything. When did we forget this? Why do we listen to those who disrespect us, make generic assumptions about our financial status and turn others against us to deflect from their disjointed policies? According to government figures we are a growing community and with that description we are deemed an ever increasing financial burden on our country. However, is that strictly true? Imagine, for a moment, we stopped listening to their interpretation and declared who we really are. We are becoming one of the larger voting voices and with that comes influence. We need to constructively get that knowledge out there so we get back our self respect and build a better future for all. We are not a burden we are able to contribute in a positive way and we are not here to be forgotten. Do you agree / disagree that we need “One Voice” to achieve equal rights with the rest of those who share our country?

Has anyone used affiliate marketing and blogging for work? I'd love to learn how from someone who actually uses it. Thanks!

Are there any fellow adult adoptees willing to discuss their story? I would love to hear them.

9 years ago I found out what “Grief” was really like. My wife passed away and I didn’t deal with it well. I fell into a “darkness” and let it consume me a little more every day. However, it is not the “Darkness” I want to talk about it is the most precious gift we have all been given, “Life”. I like others was never really taught what “Life” encompasses. The great circle of being born (the beginning) and when we need to return our gift, death (the ending) are not separate but one experience, journey whatever you believe it to be. I recognise now that every “Dawn” I open my eyes to is special, not just for me, but all those who are now only with me in my heart. There is also an acceptance that I know that one day this “Gift” will be taken back so each one I live is more special than the one before rather than a count down from when my days were darkest. I ask only one thing of anyone who reads this post, “Open” your heart and enjoy your unique and individual “Gift” for as long as you greet each new “Dawn” and remember as a “ Child Of The Universe” you will shine in some form forever. Love never dies.

I am booked on a New England cruise this fall and I am looking for someone to share the costs of the cabin. I have booked a balcony cabin, probably over a year ago, got a decent rate!! Leaves from NYC, 12 nights and ends in Montreal, Canada. I’m female and happily single. Message me if you're interested.

(Hello. How are you?). Irishman (Gaeligh is my mother tongue) living close to the Scottish border with my wife & daughter..

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone here does any form exercises with weights, rubber bands, calesthenics etc. And if so, what are your routines?

Hello everyone new and old here. I've been looking for a social platform free of the toxicity of many others like TikTok, X etc & this might be it place to be. So since I tend to forget more as my age progresses, hopefully my rusty old ass won't forget about interacting here. This platform seems a little on the quiet side so maybe I'll try & shake things up a little to get it more active. Ok, off to rub some Bengay on the joints. Bye.
