For those of you in your 70's, please use this forum to

talk about everyday problems, financial matters, recommended healthy recipes,

things you enjoy doing, or whatever

you think would be good. It's like a well-wisher's meeting.

Why don't you tweet about it?

Please don't be sarcastic or cold-hearted.

Boomer,

I have been on 2 , 3 sites other than F/B, but I have not come across anything that looks like a "scam targeting the elderly".

However, there is at least one Spam Call-like incoming message a day on my phone. Most of them are probably investment solicitation calls, but I don't respond to calls from numbers I don't have in Contacts, and some of them are "Scam Likely", which may be a T-Mobile setting, and I leave it ringing when I see it.

> When I see this, I leave it ringing.

The reason why I don't hang up is that when the incoming call is ringing, the computer on the other end seems to think that a live person is doing the hanging up and sets the phone to "call" again next time, and if it keeps ringing, it seems to think that the person is ・ not near the phone. If the phone keeps ringing, it will assume that the person is not around the phone, and if the ringing continues for a number of times, it will automatically disable the setting for the next call. This is completely my own imagination.

Don't go through all that trouble, just hang up and block it and you won't get any more calls from there.

Even if you block it, the record will still show up and you'll have to delte it.

If the enemy calling is the same number, you can do that, but the enemy also scratches monkeys,

each time from a different number, so you have to block each time.

This is called "itachi gokko

Leaving the phone on the hook is not the solution to anything.
It's the same thing when you get calls from different numbers.

Yesterday was warm and sunny for the first time in a long time. It was 73F outside .

I cleaned the front ・ backyard and sidewalk ・ driveway in one T-shirt.

Sidewalk ・ The driveway is under the city's jurisdiction, but the city has no budget for it, so

the homeowner has to clean only the width of that house.

If you don't clean only the width of the house, but clean both sides of the house and the block, you don't have to burn the food you eat, it's good exercise
and you will be full of energy on the mountain path of the pilgrimage, what a hill.

But I can realize my age by saying "Ugh, samg"
Sometimes I feel like falling down on the pilgrimage alone
It was also the pilgrimage that supported me

Turning around, the Showa period seems far away in the haze.

I don't want to talk about the late-aged fellow, but

Ototto,

I don't understand at all whether you finally got it.



Yesterday I climbed the mountain behind our house for the first time in a while.

My top is just a T-shirt but my neck and arms are cold, so no matter how people look at me,

I started climbing with a towel around my neck and sports socks

on my arms with toes cut open, but within 10 minutes I was warm and I took both off.


Every time I walk or climb a mountain, I wear a 12 lbs Weighted Vest.

But, I come back to myself with "Ugh, Sammu" and look back at the days gone by.
My young idol Kinuyo Tanaka, Setsuko Hara, and Hideko Takamine have also passed into the demon family.

Looking back, I see my young self far, far away
The changing seasons, I want to live, letting myself go peacefully

Yesterday a piece of buried sprinkler PVC pipe leaked and I had to fix it.

I was so exhausted from all the digging and stuff that I took a nap and had a good night's sleep.

I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep at night after my nap, but then I fell asleep again.



Costco gas station always has a long line, so

I got up at 6:00 this morning to go fill up, and there is always a long line

only 3 cars at 8 pumps. Regular is also down a lot $ 3.899.

Do Costco gas stations not have space for EV charging?

Costco has a large parking lot and there is room for EV charging, but

I guess management is not ready to do that yet.

There is a planned Nijya site on the north side of the Costco I frequent, across the railroad tracks,

and EV charging facilities are already in that parking lot.

I just felt a little uncomfortable with an 80 year old posting a 70 year old topic with his own face.
It's not a personal attack !
I dream of being an 80 year old
pfft !
