Not having a daily paper that reports ALL the news, not just 'happy' junk is disappointing.
But that said, for outside activities you can't beat TV.

That said, WELCOME to the FORUM!
Political correctness? Kindness? Some things are better left unsaid. Do you care that you have hurt the feelings of a lot of nice folks? Do you know that you too will join the ranks of the people you are talking about and someone could/will say that to you and even at THAT age, it will hurt your heart? Do you know that the mentality of people older than you probably is wisdom? Did you know that most people who live here are more interested in what is happening now in the world rather than if the music they hear is in the 70's and 80's? Did you have any idea when you moved to an over 55 community that most folks would be over 55? Some a little over 55 and some a lot over 55?
I am constantly surprised when I look around to see so many old people. Then I remember. My outsides look old too. It is my insides that are 16.
I will probably come back shortly and delete this, but I just had to say it.
Boy Howdy!
And...I may have hurt your feelings, and I am sorry if I did. None of us can HELP growing older. It just happened while we were doing more important things.
Just like you can't help being younger. It will correct itself eventually.
