I advocate for the elderly and I see when I take them to appointments and other errands, how poorly they’re treated. But for the grace of God, we all go there. I've even noticed myself when going to restaurants. They like to put you in the back and hide you. And I think I’m a pretty youthful 62 and I’m in very good physical condition. I think we should all try to be more kind to one another. I’m going to try much harder myself. Ever the voice of reason. Thank you for your volunteerism. It’s folks like you who make a positive impact on the lives of others. I still want to be a roadie on your “Terri Schehr Live” tour.

Saw a story on the news where the discussion focused on some hip restaurants trying to discourage the elderly and people with grey hair from returning because it was not good for the image. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cons: Those threatening to stop following DCI will presumably continue to post on DCP. You can always put people on ignore, unless you’re a glutton for punishment.

It’s true. I’ve read several articles about this discriminatory practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah get “that look” until they realize I’ve kept up on things both work and real world. They know and have experienced things I haven’t and vice versa. All sides talking brings up a lot of things we might not have normally heard. And when trying to design or fix something that is a big plus 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
