 Glad to join all you nice people on the front porch. Save me a rocking chair.

 It's my first day so just a little nervous.

Possible topics include sports, books, authoring books, 60's and 70's rock, cancer, and anything you wish to add. I'm open to all topics. If I don't know much about a topic, I'll ask questions and listen intently.

I'm a pretty well-rounded person with a unique sense of humor. (Get ready for puns and one-liners).

 

Joe

      Hi Joe @JoeJ415665 , I see YOUR post mentions 60s & 70s rock.

       

      Again, just a "suggestion" 😉, here is the "direct" LINK to the AARP Rock 'n Roll forum below. I would "suggest" looking at what they have posted before CREATING a "new" topic. This way you are NOT "duplicating" what is already there. You will like them I promise!!!

      Your "new" friend,

      Nicole  💛🤗

        Joe @JoeJ415665 I AGREE & hope you stick around!!! 💃🙃

         

        Are you still working or retired?

         

        Where do you obtain your books from?

         

        You mention cancer - you have it or just a general interest?

         

        I am NOT into sports but hoping Papaw @papawofboo will stop by. He has been MIA for awhile. Hoping he is okay. Another possibility is our darling Ms. Stretch @MsStretch . Again, NOT here alot but does "pop" in when she can.

         

        Since AARP now accepts age 18+ as members, don't get DISCOURAGED over responses to YOUR discussion.

         

        They are "working" and I am sure will stop by when they can.

         

        I am retired and just recovering from a broken ankle from black ice 12/6/25. Lol, finally had my LAST x-ray LAST week = now back to seeking out NEW ADVENTURES = 6 weeks of a cast, 10 weeks walking boot.

         

        Had my OLD "wings" clipped.

         

        Now to REPLACE the "other" old lady (2006 Hyundai Elantra). She needs a Head Gasket. It has been "very emotional" having to replace her as she is family. But I just CANNOT afford that $3,000 or more. With her being HIGH MILEAGE (185,400), it would be best to find a LOW MILEAGE ENGINE, but my mechanic has been looking since 10/27/25 when my "famous" Check Engine Light came. NO luck with finding a "decent" one.

         

        Lol, hate that light, but GRATEFUL it came on & my mechanic had time to see what the "issue" was. Still drives, but driving would INCREASE the "damage", so she has been parked since October 2025.

        @JoeJ415665 Since you mentioned books and happen to live here in Illinois, I'll toss out one I wrote you can read for free right now. It even has a central character that is in his 60s. Twenty of Two The Infamous They - Five Nuclear Wars You Can Win a read. It's available through Barnes & Noble. From 4/29/2026 (today) through 5/2/2026 you can use the promo code BNPONEFREE and download the EPUB version for free. If you click the little red arrow in the lower corner of the EPUB book cover you can read an excerpt that is most of the first chapter before you take the time to download a free copy.
