There's going to be a thread, where we are celebrating on here, for Halloween. It is by @JMG & may be located in the cafe` (of Jim's)... or the coffeehouse. I can't rememeber offhand, if I'd tagged, or mentioned you? But if not, and you're free (& you'd like too, of course!). Then by all means, please stop by and say, "Hi!" : )
No problems, none at all @Ivy100 . If you'd like to still participate, you can, as they are not "time-sensitive."

I just turned 61. I’m relatively tech savvy but married to a man that calls himself a confirmed Luddite. 
Well, I am 62 but feel like 90. I was an adventurer all my life - and it continues. I try to keep up with the world - but its getting sometimes disgusting. Rules, values, time etc, of the past are gone. There is just stress, egoism and everybody tries to make money out of everything. So I decided to live a simple life, minimalist. I am somehow ashamed, because I feel, that I or the generation got the best time mankind ever had - from 1970 to approx. 2010. Everything changed now and is changing more rapidly every day.
So, you bought the wrong tickets? And - I did this when I was young one day and ended up in cinema watching a historic movie. I was the only one present (and one school class). However, in the end, it was not that bad. Its a good feeling that I lived to the edge and really did everything and worked all over the world, So, my life was full. There are still places in this world, you will find no tourists and everything is like 50 years ago. Its just not easy to get there. I made only once in my life a vacation in a real hot-spot: Mallorca. Never again. Horrible. Why do people not make the pilgrim way to Santiago de Compostela? Why not crossing the Sahara on a bike? Learning a new language? Making music? Learn how to play an instrument? There are so many things to do. And being alone - now I like it (just have a couple of friends left - but they are for life-time). I do not need more.
In this forum there are some good, nice, friendly and smart elder persons - and I like them a lot. The good advice is mostly coming from them. And - we are all here for a reason - not to forget. We all suffer from something - as much as we wish sometimes to be completely healthy its just not the case. We are all somehow sick but at least honest enough to realize it.

Hi @Ivy100
I'm not an old lady, but at 67, I feel like I'm an old man. Like they say with cars, though, it's not the years, but the mileage that counts
I feel old, and modern life reminds me how I've aged, I used to feel I was well-adapted and current, but now I'm not.
Anyway, good luck with technology, I struggle myself.
peace
