Senior Citizens, do you remember rubber fingers and fingertip moistener?

In Las Vegas they offer allot of things to do. The new beautiful, clean community swimming pool offers seniors a swim pass for $25. Good for 3 months, $75.

For a full year. They are open 6 days a week and have over 17 lanes. Swim classes during the week, water classes, swim lessons.

They also have many hobbies to chose from plus a full gym for $10. A month. That is just in one community center.

We once went to their seniors only swimming pool at another location. It was more for elderly people, water was way too hot to swim in and the pool mostly had older ladies in floaties talking and soaking, not for active seniors. They also have senior dances at many local casino's during the week.

Most gyms have senior exercise classes too, sliver slippers is usually what they call those classes. Lots to do in Vegas for seniors. We now live in Budapest, Hungary.

We took our 80 year old neighbor to several senior dances a few years back all around the city. 4 different locations. For low income seniors they bring meals to the house or they can go into their local centers and get a free meal everyday.

Never tried that out, we are not low income here. The dances surprised me, people in their 90's drinking wine and hard liquor dancing half the day and trying to pick each other up. It was a bit funny and strange to me, different culture but basically people act the same everywhere.

They give free transportation to retired people over 65 here but not to people from what they call 3rd countries like the US or Canada, only to their citizens or people from other EU countries. The zoo and many pools give a very tiny discount to seniors, hardly anything, like a buck off a $15. Entry.

Seniors in the US get better deals. Over here in HU many doctors at private clinics give a small discount for their services if you are over age 62.

Our Senior Center offers free coffee and non-dairy creamer, free Fox News and Bill O'Reilly on the TV set, and free card tables and chairs where old geezers can sit all day long wasting their time working on jigsaw puzzles and jawboning about the Good Old Days when Ronald Reagan was president and the young people respected their elders.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
