1. How old were you during WWII?\n2. What do you remember about it? (Then maybe she will do so much talking the ?'s will be easy)\n3. Do you remember rationing?\n4. Do you have anything from that era that I could bring to class (I see extra credit here)\n5. How did you feel when you heard FDR's Pearl Harbor speech?\n6. How did you feel when you heard that the war in europe was over? The war in the east?\n7. Anything else you'd like to tell me?\n\nHope it goes well. You'll get to know your Grandma better and maybe get an "A!"

That sound like a great evening! Maybe you could have their senior pictures printed on a name tag, and laminated...that would be thoughtful and nice...maybe you could write a "guessing game"..."Guess who had the most children?" Maybe you could give prizes to the people who came from the farthest distance, stayed married to their high school sweetheart, etc. I don't know, but it really sounds great. Have a wonderful time!

Not necessarily.\nSometimes you might get a response for an older person who will sound something more like your parents or grandparents.  I and many others are more interested in giving askers answers that might help rather than just spitting out what your peers are going to tell you.\nJust be careful what you ask.  You might get back some surprising answers.

"Dr. so-and-so,\n\nThank you for taking such good care of us over the years! Your care has meant more to us than you know.\n\nEnjoy your retirement!\n\nSincerely,\n\nThe Smith Family pets (and Max, from Rainbow Bridge, if a pet died that he took care of.)\n\nWorks for me. It's nice that you're even thinking about it. Most people don't, and he wouldn't expect it, so just a nice word of thanks from the "kids" would be enough. It would be cute to write it "from" the pets. :)

I am 24...and I can see what you mean about people being under 40.  Some of these questions seem like they come from kids trying to be funny.  Regardless, it is an amusing place to waste time...and sometimes actually help someone with a legitimate question.  I have gotten some good answers on here as well that helped me with home theater and PC questions.  Take care...and just enjoy the questions...as ridiculous as they can be.  You have to admit...it can be quite entertaining for bored people or people with insomnia.

Ma'am, aren't you the same lady who asked that hilarious "What would you DO in such a situation?" question before where you spoke of an 80 year old lady  and another hilarious hypothetical question involving pee?\n\nI just saw that I'd got three thumbs down for bursting into laughter there.\n\nMay I just compliment your great sense of humor, ma'am?\n\nI really needed these laughs.\n\nThank you.

Medicare questions can be confusing! Getting the best supplemental coverage and/or a a Medicare Part D policy, for example, depends on several factors.  Supplemental plans and options available vary in each state.  \n\nAlso, the way Part D Medicare is structured is definitely not a "one size fits every senior" deal, too. Each individual--even husbands and wives--need to go through the process to determine what plan is going to meet their needs and will be the "best deal,"\n\nI highly recommend that you call your local Area Agency on Aging--these groups are one of the best kept secrets around for older Americans and their families who are seeking information on Medicare and other kinds of consumer questions. There is one where you live, since this is a national network--and they aren't selling anything! The staff there will visit with you and guide you to information you need to answer your questions. Since they talk with seniors every day--and answer lots of Medicare questions--they will know the "scoop" on the supplemental plans available where you live. They really are experts and answering these kinds of questions!\n\nYou can call toll-free 1-800-677-1116 to find how to contact the Area Agency on Aging serving you. You will most likely find the people there friendly and very helpful.\n\nIf you do contact your local Area Agency on Aging and like the help that they give you, let your local county officials and your folks in Congress know.  Area Agencies on Aging don't have big budgets--their funding comes from the Older Americans Act and this has not increased for a very long time! Your voluntary financial contribution of any amount--which is not required to get the help you need to answer this question--would certainly be appreciated.\n\nHope this helps! Good luck and best wishes

Bless him and you!\n\nPlease call your local Area Agency on Aging--these groups are one of the best kept secrets around for older Americans and their families who are seeking information on Medicare  and caregiving questions like yours.

Let them know you are a caregiver in need of some help right now.\n\nThere is an Area Agency on Aging where you live--since this is a national network. These groups aren't selling anything!
