The 50-Plus Room - for

[Lilianna23]

Yeah I've read about that. It's actually not a new thing and pretty much goes on at most retirement communities. I interviewed a couple of staff members at some facilities in Nor Cal and STDs were a major concern. This was in the early 90s.

I've read they're rampant in The Villages.

 

[Biggalute]

I think they already do that at The Villages in Florida!

Good luck to them, I've also heard they don't like using zimmer/walking frames because the slim legs make the rest of you look fat (I'm making that up)

Good morning earliy risers and insomniacs and international dwellers of this forum.

What a shock this morning as the iPhone did not charge! I think the port is shot. I jiggled the wire and it started to charge. I am probably getting a new phone today.

Viagra? it made for amazing intercourse with my late wife.

How about Viagra At The Retirement Home?

My neighbor and I started a hardcore band, called social security youth.

If it’s not too old, maybe you can just get the port cleaned and fixed. Mine was not charging either and last weekend. I took it to one of those places in the mall, and it works great.

Careful about going to a place that sell phones because they will try to sell you a phone. (of course you really need a new one.)

Bong Daily" would be a great pseudonym.

How about Viagra At The Retirement Home?

My neighbor and I were gonna start a hardcore band called Social Security Youth.

I was thinking of starting two threads. One on jeapardy and trivia and one for made up band names.

Same experience. My iPhone wasn’t charging. Figured it was time for a new phone or at least a new battery. I took it to the Apple Store and the guy cleaned the port and the charging problem was solved. I carry my phone in my pocket and lint had gotten in the port. Since I was already at the store, I had them replace my battery since it was almost 3 years old and had degraded to about 70%. It only cost $70. I’ll probably get 2-3 more years out of this phone.

Nice, they didn’t try to upsell you. My wife recently got a new phone at Verizon, and I actually had to get belligerent with the sales person.

Just upsell after fucking upsell.

“Do you think you’re helping me fucking save money by charging me more? I just want the fucking phone. You say this is gonna save me money?”

A little embarrassed, cuz I lost my shit a little bit in public, but I don’t suffer fools.

I sound like such a crank!

Leave me alone!

Hey you kids get offs my lawn!

Happy Friday!!!

Dave Barry always wrote ".... would be an excellent band name!"

I thought it was hilarious!

I agree with both of these. (Have used in the past, but the lint cleaning has to be done *carefully*, by someone who knows what they’re doing.)

Furthermore, even after I damaged my charging port (by trying to clean it stupidly), I just bought wireless charging pads, one for at home, one for my office, and a magnetic one for the car. (MUCH cheaper than buying a new iPhone!!!)

They're so alluring, these little computers we carry around in our pockets. I've kind of been jonesing for a new one but mine is only two years old. I should be able to make it for another two...

That's Verizon! I usually get my phones at Costco now. It's easy with no upsell. Although I ordered my current phone off the Samsung website.

I love my wireless charging pads! I have them all over my house now. I need to get one for the cars.

 

[Wonderer67]

Mine is with me all the time. For my day job, it’s no problem.

But on our property, taking down trees, spitting firewood, using a chainsaw, it had tons of sawdust, dirt and lint in it.

It was a mess.

I usually get a good 4 years out of my phone.

My wife’s was really old. An iPhone 8. I wanna say from 2017/18??

 

[Lilianna23]

They are expensive! I usually can get 4 years out of a phone. I'm planning for more out of this one as I really went all out when I ordered it. I don't need a flagship phone but I sure do want them!

And, now I feel a need to go through your pockets!

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

nothing say's getting old quite like people over 50 talking about medicaid and medicare on a sex chat site.. you folks are a wild bunch.

Come on man, this is how we foreplay! Aches, pains, and meds….OH BABY…I’m stiffening already!

 

[NightOfPassion2]

I usually get 4 years out of a phone...been in the factories that recycle used phones..my machine is there

Are availing yourself of the Viagra that's being thrown about this room, HDH?

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

I carry lots of alluring things in my pockets Lilianna.

Smart phones are alluring but expensive! My goal has always been to get 5 years out of a phone but I don’t think I’ve ever had one last more than 3. But now that I’ve figured out the port cleaning and battery replacement tricks, I might succeed with this phone.

What are y’all doing to only get three yrs out of a phone? Mine travels with me everywhere, on planes, trains, auto’s, and boats of varying sizes! It get treated to drops and heat and cold…

I’ve always managed to get at least 5 yrs if not six or seven!

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

I can neither confirm nor deny that statement Lilianna!

 

[Treeview]

A couple of months ago I got an iPhone 14. My first was a Motorola brick. In spring '04 I cut the cord forever.

Yesterday I got caught in the ATT meltdown. My phone is locked in SOS mode and my brother, the family Techie, and I can't get it unlocked. After breakfast I'll go to the ATT store.

This was getting me frustrated but then I realized that this is the first time I've had a meltdown with my cell phone. Not bad...walkaround cord free for 19 years and maybe 40 total...not bad.

My musical talents range from nil to none but I'm still pretty good at hauling heavy stuff like speakers. Can I be your roadie in exchange for your discarded groupies?

Everyone’s invited.

The only rules is that there are no rules!

There's groupies?!? Can I be one???

 

[Wonderer67]

Go for it.

for a jeapardy and trivia thread, what would be the best forum? Playground? This one?

I’d still want to keep it a bit sexual (sexual trivia, talk about attractive jeopardy contestants, etc.) it is lit after all?
