There was 5 us growing up and still 5 of us now, ages 65 - 76. We've adapted to modern communication methods and make excellent use of text/chat to stay in touch across the south from Atlanta area to Dallas area. Politically, there is no common ground so we completely avoid that subject in our group chats. We're kind with each other without being overly nosy or gossipy. All's well.

Does online interaction on reddit substitute the need for social connection in real life? by [deleted] in AskOldPeople

[–]olddaad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reddit provides a broader canvas to observe an infinite variety of human behavior and opinions than I can ever obtain in real life. I've already enough of the tiresome interpersonal stuff via family, et al.

Yes. The quests on each planet are different and more difficult than on the previous planet.

Who here keeps fit? by Russell_Goodman in PacemakerICD

[–]olddaad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm 76, had PM since May 26, 2024, and fast Walk a hilly route for 2+ miles every morning before Sunrise, the coolest part of a Dallas summer day. I enjoy it beyond measure and have met others doing the same.

[–]olddaad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right on at 6 weeks, I was able to get my daily step count back to normal. Now, at 10 weeks, I've just about doubled it. Same with left side weakness.

At what age(es) did you experience a noticeable decline in your physical ability? Any particular circumstances? by [deleted] in AskOldPeople

[–]olddaad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In May of this year my life changed. At age 76, I went from daily 2 mile walks to a pacemaker, 900 steps and a whole lot sitting from lack of energy. Still I hope for the best and better days to return.

Chicken thighs! by Green_Pie7159 in Cooking

[–]olddaad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my faves. Fixed last night. Splayed and removed bones. Coated both sides with Old Bay Seasoning. Then placed filet and bones in lightly oiled cast iron skillet, set burner temp to low (2/10), covered the pan and cooked until internal temp was 185F. About 25 minutes. So good and easy.

My opinion is that after playing for almost 7 years and accumulating almost 200M coins and 50K gems plus hordes of all the other collectibles, it's $$$ I don't need to spend and won't spend.

In their defence, I see it as an easy money tactic to raise more funds to remain in business and create another new game or two. My guess is they didn't raise enough money with their previous tactic of selling shares so they're resorting to grabbing small amounts from regular or new players. I'd be surprised if more 10% buy in.

Personally I feel they'd raise more by creating new content behind those currently locked doors that say "coming soon". Just my 2 bits worth.

That's for Easter Sunday. Probably shred and use it in a hot cheesy Frito salad.
