How I Found SOC!

I joined March of 2017.Was tried of FB.
It's interesting that this seems to be getting more common, with people tiring of Facebook. I was once very active on Facebook, as it was, and still is, albeit perhaps to a lesser degree, a place to remain in touch, or become reacquainted, with former co-workers, neighbors, friends, and family members, and even to get to know some of their family members whom you might never have met.

But I got tired of Facebook after a time. In part, it was because of the proliferation of ads, as well as Facebook's censorship policies. The last straw was when I was banned from the platform for a week because of meme that I had created and shared seven years previous. I didn't come back, except to check in every month or so, for a long time. I am again visiting FB pretty much every day, however, because so many of those on my friends list there are getting up in years, as I am. I don't post regularly, just every now and then, so that people know that I'm still alive.
 
I joined March of 2017.Was tried of FB. I checked out one or two other forums but joined SOC.
I was just getting to know folks on the forum, when in Dec, 2017, had my first real healthy crisis.
I had CHF and literally almost died.The people on the forum were most helpful to me,by simply just being there
to listening to my whine. I began to really become interested in their lives, their family, their pets. I was intrigued by several who were great photo people and posted beautiful pics from all over the world. The good folks on SOC became my true online family,Good or bad, right or wrong,I love:love: SOC and the people.
A home away from home, I appreciate the people here and glad to have a place to visit.
 
I did a search for senior forums. I found SOC and I liked the topics, discussions, forum layout, and the whole ball of wax.

I wanted to know if other seniors felt the same way I did about aging and life, or was I the only one that was bonkers. I’m not really a social person so a forum for seniors seemed to be what I needed. It’s a great place to come anytime of the day or night where a person can come to visit just to read, or vent, laugh, and cry, and not feel alone in the world.
