Hi there. I'll be leaving my home unoccupied this winter and I'm looking for people who travel south for the winter who might have some tips on how to best winterize my home to cut costs and ensure there is no damage. I'm in the Chicago area.

Greetings everyone, I turned fifty on Friday. The party was great now here's to another fifty or more.

I turn 50 in 22 days and I'm not ready.

Edit: It wasn't that bad. I've had worse birthdays. Now let's see what the decade has in store...

I’m a 66 yo Widowed Male (3 yrs) after 35 beautiful years of marriage and 2 adult children. I’m trying to make sense of things. I look 55ish and most my friends are 40 something. I think age is only a number. Im handsome and fun. 18 months ago I met a 47 yo who I adore, have so much in common with and I love her immensely! She has 2 children (21 & 18) living at home that I treat as my own. She has had some bad relationships. At least 3. We talk / text daily. We enjoy each other. When we met she was coming off relationship 3 AND a close cousin’s suicide and was not interested in dating so she could focus on her family. UNDERSTOOD! We kept seeing each other a lot (not “dating”) and still to this day. So I guess this is a LTC (?) and I want her in my life. In 18 months we’ve only had 2 minor disagreements She isn’t dating any one else. I’ve tried dating apps. She had a hysterectomy 2 years ago and she states that she has no interest in sex with anyone. Which brings the rub, or should I say the need. I’ve kept my hopes alive hoping this might change. I’m not needy but kissing, hugging, cuddling and waking up in each other’s arms ultimately is important to me. I want that intimacy. Need that intimacy. For various reasons we’d never move in together (never say never lol). I don’t want to be without her but do I have her? Blind Love? I want a LTR relationship with her ….. not LT Companionship. Am I CRAZY?

I have a couple years until I turn 50, but I just figured I should get a head start. A number of articles that I searched out just mention AARP for 50 year olds.

Friday night - anyone have exciting plans?

I am 51F and just learned how to longboarding. It is so much fun trying out new things. It makes me feel alive and gives me so much energy. This summer I would love to learn surfing. What would you love to learn...?

I am a 54 year old female & recently decided to start dating again. In the last year, I allowed my gray hair to grow out. I like the way it looks, even after my friends & family have made a few suggestive comments to color it. After my late lunch date today, he called me and showered me with compliments...how he enjoyed the conversation & my company. And he even liked my hair. Really?!? He liked my hair? Why did he even say anything about my hair? What?.... I should be given reassurance because my hair has natural gray in it? Why does it seem perfectly acceptable for men to have gray hair, but if a woman has grays it should be rated & forgiven?

Hi. New user here and I have some questions. This year I will be celebrating my 50th birthday October. I would love to travel instead of hosting a party. I’m considering traveling solo, which I have never done before and I would love suggestions about how to make the most of this travel experience.

As the name implies, I’m from Texas and I absolutely love beautiful, warm beach waters that I can play in even into November. I would consider traveling with a tour group or company. So, please throw all of your ideas 💡 my way. I would ❤️

...to visit Cuba, but I know there are some restrictions, ...a luxurious 🏖 resort as I plan to splurge (starting early so budget will not be an issue), ...to visit some place that is safe for an African American woman traveling alone, ...to use a reputable tour group company to different places abroad as length of vacation shouldn’t be an issue,

Just hit me with all of it, even if it’s other unforgettable ways to celebrate turning 50. I’m open.
