Michael Thompson replied to suzanne mary charles's discussion Todays budget more bad news for people who are getting older"The right of the Tory Government have an ideology and they stick to it. And this does not include you, me, or anyone else.
I curse the British people who voted Tory at the last general election."
Joe Wasylyk replied to suzanne mary charles's discussion Todays budget more bad news for people who are getting older"Jacqueline & Alan- I know that this thread is suppose to be about the bad economy in Europe and finding out how we could get an ombudsman for Seniors issues and collecting grievances against the Government. In a lot of cases what happens…"
Alan Cummings replied to suzanne mary charles's discussion Todays budget more bad news for people who are getting older"Joe & Jacqueline - sorry i have not posted but I have been rebuilding my daughter's laptop (2 days - nightmare!). You both sound enthusiastic about publishing blogs etc. and that is great. I agree that some of the technology can…"
Jacqueline Kathleen Holding replied to suzanne mary charles's discussion Todays budget more bad news for people who are getting older"Hi Joe, I agree that we all have to learn at our own pace. I have had quite a few people at the bowls club say that they've tried going onto Facebook, but given it up because they don't understand how to use it. This is very sad and…"
Joe Wasylyk replied to suzanne mary charles's discussion Todays budget more bad news for people who are getting older"Jacqueline,
Writing for pleasure is fine and it's definitely less stressful than self-publishing. Everybody has their own circumstances, goals, and objectives and what they want to do with their retirement. I think that you definitely…"
Jacqueline Kathleen Holding replied to suzanne mary charles's discussion Todays budget more bad news for people who are getting older"I like the idea of writing for pleasure but, as to publishing what I write; well, that brings up a whole lot of issues. It's funny really because I try to come over as being very confident with myself (blame my mother, lololol). Yet I am…"
Joe Wasylyk replied to suzanne mary charles's discussion Todays budget more bad news for people who are getting older"Alan, I think that you have exactly the kind of knowledge and style that a mentor and/or coach would have to guide an older adult along creating their own pathway of enjoyment. I think that for most older people this whole area is kind…"
Joe Wasylyk replied to suzanne mary charles's discussion Todays budget more bad news for people who are getting older"Jacqueline, Yes I think what is missing and it would be something that could provide guidance for older adults is your idea of an annual, bi-annual or quarterly mini-course. it is often said that a per-retiree or retiree is confused what to do…"
Alan Cummings replied to suzanne mary charles's discussion Todays budget more bad news for people who are getting older"Joe & Jacqueline - you both appear to have a liking for writing stories and you both clearly enjoy posting here. Writing for enjoyment, education or for profit is something anyone can do these days using a word processor. Letting…"
Joe Wasylyk replied to suzanne mary charles's discussion Todays budget more bad news for people who are getting older"Jacqueline, personally think that you could do anything you set yourself a goal to do. As you know I am also a non-fiction writer and I wouldn't have a clue how fiction writers like J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter novels could sit down with…"
Jacqueline Kathleen Holding replied to suzanne mary charles's discussion Todays budget more bad news for people who are getting older"That's a brilliant idea. Perhaps Age UK could bring on board something like a mentor for pensioners just as they retire. A bit like having a social worker when you've just had a baby. They're invaluable in advice and help for any new…"
Joe Wasylyk replied to suzanne mary charles's discussion Todays budget more bad news for people who are getting older"Jacqueline, I wish there was a magic wand to help more Seniors with learning something new.
