  • Finally all moved in. A lot of downsizing, estate sales and just giving stuff away. Hard to believe I accumulated so much stuff in 80+ years. Anyway all moved in to my 700 sq ft apartment. getting back to writing and worked on a few songs to start off the new life.

    • Congratulations on a successful move Dave 😊 I hope all goes well for the future and you make new pals.

      • Dave glad to hear you are all moved in. When I retired in 2001 I sold my house here and bought a new condo with 2bedrooms, den. and 2 baths , laundry room and a furnace room . I was 60 and had to give away some things to my children and sold sold a lot of things also and donated things too. I am now 83 and so glad I sold my home and bought…

      • I have decided to move into an apartment at a independent senior living community. I am moving from 2700 sq ft to 730 sq ft. Some downsizing. This is going to be a busy month.

          • Good Luck. I down sized when I retired in 2001 and sold my ranch house and bought a brand new condominium which is 1,768 sq. feet. I had always owned a house and so downsizing into a smaller place, I had to get rid of some furniture that I gave to my children and also sold some things. My condo is on the first floor front and our building has…

          • I have looked at all the pros and cons of moving to an assisted living facility and have decided that it is to be with people. I have been alone in this house for over a year now and find that I just sit in my recliner. I do have a caregiver visit every Wednesday to get me in a shower, clean a little and do the laundry. I started to notice…

          • I am still looking at assisted living facilities and have trouble understanding the advantages and cost. I was wondering if anyone else has been through this process. So far I have visited four and the monthly cost is more than twice what it cost me to stay in the house. They all seemed surprised when I show them the number and I am not…

            • Perhaps a visiting care worker would be less costly. Somebody to cook, clean, drive, and help you do whatever you cannot do each day. Just a suggestion as I have no idea what the available funds or the expenses involved look like.

              • Great idea and I have looked into caregivers and the in home services. The care givers I found are listed on a web site called care.com. So far nobody available in the mornings I need.

                What do you like to chat about. I am new here just learning how to use the platform. I started writing on SubStack and then discovered technology. I am learning AI now using Leonardo and Suno to create music videos.

                Hi Rifka, I am also new on here. I am just learning about AI, using Leonardo and Suno. New technology for an old guy set in his ways. I like writing music and articles which I post on SubStack. A new world for me and I was wondering how you are handling this new world.

              • @Maizie

                I liked your profile, you sound like an interesting person. I have tried writing and I have been on SubStack for awhile. I am still learning how to use the platform and how to write better. Just found all the AI tools and started trying to write music. Where do you write and what type of literature. My daughter is a best…

                • Good evening. My name is Kathrine, but my friends call me Katie or Kate 😃. I joined the platform around three or two weeks ago and am still learning how it works. How long have you been using it? I hope you’re enjoying yourself.

                  • I am also new, about a month. I have to remember to check each day. I am starting to get into the swing of things. I am also busy downsizing and getting ready to move into a independent senior living community. I have discovered stuff I have stored for years and forgot.
