Why I Hate Senior Forums

Why do you hate senior forums?

Well, if y'all have a minute or two, I will tell you why I do. Go ahead, sit down and be comfortable. This might take 30 minutes.

I hate senior forums because they don't discuss anything fun. Remember the times when we talked about our hopes and dreams? Careers, homes, parties, budding relationships, vacations, and now we talk about frigging procedures and medical maladies.

Do you know how hemorrhoids are removed? Only in extreme cases do they use surgery. Now they snap a strong rubber band on them and they shrivel up and fall off in time. The medical doctors got this idea from the cowboys. Hey, I'm not making this :poop: up. Cattle ranchers have long used rubber bands to cut short a young bulls desires to do the uglies with the cows. Testicles and hemorrhoids be gone.

We talk about things like being a care taker. Now being a caretaker for a long time friend, I find it very trying on my patience, muscles, and gag factor. I mean she gets a new med from her doc and refuses to take it saying I am in a conspiracy with her doc to kill her. I point out that if I wanted to kill her, I certainly wouldn't do it with prescription stool softeners. The result of her using such a medication, will kill me first. Anal seep is real and it ain't pretty!

I am frequently asked if I have my affairs in order. I can't resist replying with a question, "You mean chronologically?"

"Let's see, there was Alfred, Bob, Cal, Delbert, Eb, Frank, George, and finally Zek." :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Dealing with how things are and finding new ways to deal is what is happening now. Some fun and creative things giving thoughts on how to progress. Some heath interruptions. Eventually maybe what is in a diaper.
Some folks I know play bingo or go to the casinos. Some take up walking etc Some watch tv. If I wanted excitement I have considered going up and zip lining. I could tell a story of tubing on the Wolf River here
I just go with the flow and am happy with nature that I have around here. Not so much with the news but I don't have to check in on that.
 
I don't hate senior forums. I enjoy talking to people who have similar life experience and understand the reality of physical decline. I suppose "misery loves company". 😁 (And I'm glad "anal seepage" doesn't come up very often!)
