Senior Citizens Online - Comments Page 1

Such a lot of 'goodies' for the silver-haired surfer. Thank you for introducing the various sites and topics.

Thank you for posting the article about SeniorNet (http://www.seniornet.org) -- John Merwin -- SeniorNet Host

EDITOR'S NOTE: My pleasure! It's a great site.

Thanks for your comments on SeniorNet. We run classes at NW Copernicus SeniorCenter -- 3160 N Milwaukee Ave 60618. Next session starts September 11, there are a few openings left. For info, call us at 312-742-7718.. we have voice mail.

Many thanks for the Web sites for seniors. I work in gift planning for a nonprofit, and this is wonderful info to have available as an "extra" resource.

The only seniors sports site on the internet -- visit http://www.seniors-masters-champions.com -- It's a

sporting goods & equipment site directed at senior

citizen (others can purchase also). It has a FREE

Senior Sports Newsletter that lists sporting events across the U.S. for Seniors. If you would like a copy just let us know.

I've tried this website several times in the past few weeks and keep getting a response that it is not receiving new pen pals. And when I tried to get a pen pals, it isn't doing that either. Maybe those young folks got overwhelmed with responses? Can you recommend another similar site?

I like all of your sites but need to add www.seniorfreebees.com. This is the best site I've seen for helping seniors save money and directing them to great resources.

Thanks for this list--it's an excellent resource.

Here's another one for your list that I recently came across (a social networking community for seniors):

It seems like a good concept to have a place for seniors to meet, since Facebook and MySpace cater mostly to teens.

I would like to correspond with senior citizens, though of course I have no objection to writing to younger people, I have always thought that school children could do with some of the experience that older have had .

I'm just over 80 with all my faculties, at least that is what my wife says . I am retired from teaching and have 5 children and numerous grandchildren. Robert

EDITOR'S NOTE: I think http://www.writeseniors.com is just what you're looking for!

Hi! I have just found the SeniorLink site and think this is just the thing for me. yes, I have registered already. But I'm a long way away, in Australia. That doesn't matter for writing emails, does it?

All i was trying to do was to try and find some sort of explanation as to how and why my regular emails end up in the Outbox when I send them and then go of their own accord some time or days later. Any clues?

EDITOR'S NOTE: As far as being in Australia, that doesn't make a difference. You can send emails all over the world, just as easily as to your neighbor. About the Outbox, if you've told your email program to send, but they remain in the Outbox, I'd guess that your Internet connection is down. When you go online, they are released.

Here's another really neat site for seniors:

Hi,
Hi,
I would love to see a link on this site for helping seniors with Balance. Most seniors experience some kind of falls related to illness or aging. This website that I found really reaches out and helps seniors regain their balance and feel more confident when walking. They have three locations in the Los Angeles area. Check out their website at:
