| Hi, I thought I might as well get in here and let people know that I
exist. I have been reading for a while but, being over fifty makes me
hesitate also.
I know how you feel, joyce, about feeling out of place when no one is
in your age bracket.
I would love to find a group of people who would like to go dancing,
it's one of my most favorite things to do. I only hope some of us are
in the Worcester/Shrewsbury area.

34.10 | Anyone else??? | SKETCH::MOISAN | | Mon Jan 27 1997 12:10 | 15 |
| Welcome Marianne!
Thanks for your input.
I'm from Leominster but have done a little traveling to dances such as
in Marlboro, Westford and Nashua (but I won't go alone). I'd be happy
to post notices on dances usually attended by the "elderly" in this
note as I hear of them, or for that matter, other gatherings.
Sure wish there were more readers out there who would drop in and say
"hi" and to let us know of their interests where some of us could get
together for social activities.
Thanks,
Gerri

Gosh, That quote sure doesn't make me feel good --"Elderly" --Ohh, I
certainly don't feel that way.
I have gone to ShBooms and danced all night and had a great time except
for being one of the minority "older people". Now doesn't that sound a
little better.
Marianne :-)

34.12 | The "Older", not "Elderly" Crowd | SKETCH::MOISAN | | Mon Jan 27 1997 13:23 | 11 |
| Sorry 'bout that. I don't feel that way either ....just distinguishing
from the "young-uns". I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who
feels out of place with the younger crowd and that the feeling is
mutual. Not that either set has ill feelings about the other age
group, either. It's just the way it is! When out in social settings,
I think we tend to feel more comfortable with people in our particular
age bracket and are looking for companionship with people who have similar
interests.
Later,
Gerri

34.13 | Over 50, but not ready to act like it | MROA::GREGOIRE | Cindy Gregoire - DTN:297-4382 | Tue Jan 28 1997 13:00 | 16 |
| Hi,
I'm pleased to see this note as well. Being 52 and separated
for just about a year, it's sometimes difficult to find people in this
age group to do things with. Most of my friends are married.
I live in Hudson, Ma. One son who graduated from college last May
and moved to California so he can surf year round.
My interests include dancing, taking my labs for walks, riding my
motorcycle, movies, cooking, and working with my hands. For example I
like to build furniture from kits. Love vacationing in the Caribbean.
Have also started working out three days a week. It's great for
relieving every day stress.

Hi,
I guess I one of the in-betweens (47 in two weeks....). I've
thought about some of the outings the 30 something's have planned
but have not made it yet. They just seem too ambitious! Seems
like I'm sleepy by the time tey are getting started!
Living south of Worcester is a problem as well. Or maybe just
a convenient excuse to not go out in the cold!
I keep reading though, and one of these day's I'll make it
to one of the events.

34.15 | Not an exclusive note | SKETCH::MOISAN | | Mon Feb 03 1997 10:21 | 18 |
| Hi Mary,
Thanks for signing in. We're glad to have you.
For clarification purposes, this is in no way intended to exclude
anyone under the age of 50, but to be used as a forum and means of
introduction to those of us whose interests may be different or who
feel uncomfortable hanging out with the younger set.
Actually, I had hoped we could use this as a vehicle to get together
as older singles for socializing and sharing common interests and
problems.
Keep adding your intro's and comments and let's see how this evolves.
Thanks,
Gerri

34.16 | Over 50 and enjoying it! | CSLALL::MCNAUGHTON_W | | Fri Feb 07 1997 16:11 | 14 |
| Just turned 50 this past year. Would like to meet people who live in
the Nashua/Fitchburg area since that is where I moved to a few years
ago and don't know anyone there in my age group to socialize with.
Enjoy walking my Labradors--17 of them. Spending time with my grand
daughter and my children. Like watching football with my son and his
family.
Would like to meet a group for dinner, a pop and some music.
I am more of a reader of these notes than a participant but will answer
occasionally.
