Howdy from a new guy...

Good morning to all-

I am an AARP member along with my wife. We are retired schoolteachers- I spent nearly forty years in front of various classes from kindergarten to college levels.

For the past twenty or so years I have been a writer for various outdoor and rural living magazines, and when I'm not sitting in front of this screen typing and scratching a cat's ears, I will be outside either working in the garden, fishing from my kayak or flying one of my little radio-controlled airplanes or drones.

I was on another senior-oriented forum for a while, but the politics and the heated and usually vitriolic nature of that place persuaded me to find another place to go and read about what's going on in the world. I hope this forum is more civilized.

I live on the Gulf Coast of Alabama, and I must say that we missed the effects of Hurricane Francine- and glad I am to say that.

I look forward to conversing with you all here.

 

you all be safe and keep well- Ed

    Welcome Ed @EdM965653 and glad you and your wife are SAFE!!!  ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ

     

    Nope, NO politics here as AARP deleted that forum April 2021.

     

    Lol, as far as those "personalties" that feel a need to "disrespect" - we have a few.

     

    But that is life and as I AGE (66 this month), I am finally LISTENING to AARP's advice. Ignore and report. Spent way TOO MUCH time arguing with them.  ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

     

    I have a cat by the name of Mr.  ๐Ÿˆ, my spoilt boy.

     

    Wishing you and your wife an AWESOME day.
