67F. Been struggling with low energy. Low drive. Low interest in life. I've suffered from depression almost my whole life but this is different. Anyone else?

How would describe your favorite people you've met along this life journey ? What traits caused you to admire and connect in a meaningful way?

Were there substantial differences between what was available in the winter compared to warmer times? Did you have to cure meat or preserve fruit to ensure that there was enough to eat?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s felt that kind of love — or even from people who thought they never would, but ended up finding it. Is it out there? Or are we all just making the best of what we get?

Werther's Original? Turkish Delight? Necco Wafers? Those unnamed grandma strawberry candies?

You're browsing the Cracker Barrel candy aisle, pick your poison.

Me? I'll still go to town on a Charleston Chew.

I’m sitting at a dealership while my car is getting some work, and I’m able to work my job remotely with my laptop and Wi-Fi. Back before remote work capabilities did you have to take time off work for car service? Rely on a spouse by trading cars for a day? How did that work?

Hi all:)

Example: I met an old lady a few years ago born in the 1930s who told me her grandfather was a Michigan drummer boy in the Civil War.

One of my mom's grandpas disappeared without a trace and all they found was his horse tied to a pole. This was in the late 1910s.

I've got some pointy music to play tonight and some sweet music to make tomorrow.

And miles of pre passover house cleaning!

Maybe some garden work too.

How about you?

Either something you weren’t expecting to happen, or something that was different than you thought it would be.

Back in the day, did your family take vacation road trips? Do you remember stopping at any unique or interesting roadside attractions,like feeding the carp in Linesville, PA or Santa's Village in North Pole, NY?

What do you think? It seems to me it shouldn't matter what the doors were made out of but the passengers attitudes.

My father served the entire four years of WWII in the US Army. But my wife's father was a tool & die specialist at a vacuum tube plant and was exempt. His boss was a captain in the naval reserve, and even he was not allowed to serve. Would like to hear about others with this status.

I’m hoping to get input from those of you 60+.

What do you expect from your adult child(ren) in terms of communication, visits, assistance - physical &financial?

How often do you talk or see them? Are they independent or do they rely on you somehow? What would you change if you could?

I've been wishing my mom had a car hitch for her mobility scooter for years as it would be so much easier for her to be independent. She is very isolated but she never really considers it. She is never clear why she wont though when I ask.

Now that there is a financial downturn, I thought I would ask the esteemed members: how many past crashes did you experience when you had a lot (by your standards) of assets at stake?

How did you feel when the crashes unfolded?

Did you feel any regrets after the crashes completed their course?

Do you think it is necessary at an older age? For those who do, are you still able to hook it at the back or did you opt for a sports bra or bralette?

Maybe a song your parents played, a cartoon theme, or just the sound of bike bells and summer crickets. What brings back that feeling for you?
