1. I would like an online seminar like the one given last January at Senior Planet on: Estate Planning
   2:30pm | FREE VIEW EVENT
   Where there’s a will…there’s a much more organized estate.

   I tried clicking on last year’s view event link but did not get anything/info….

3. The Government says family members should not visit their elderly parents. Question should the Home Attendant get tested before visiting / coming to work in seniors homes.

4. As I look around, I can spot lots of things to do here at home. My husband is in Lima, Peru, and looks like he’s stuck there until the end of June. I’ve got several bags ready to go to the Salvation Army, and cleaning out my closets helps me to see what I have to wear that I’ve forgotten about. I love looking at old recipes, and sharing them with friends. Cleaning out the basement is a great time-user. Lining the kitchen shelves with a rubber liner is fun. Having repair men come is a great thing. I have a list of things for them. And as the warmer weather approaches, there’s lots of things to do outside.

8. Love the idea that I can receive links to websites/podcasts/etc that can help me feel less isolated.
   Would love to find form a group of Senior men that would get to know and support each other via a weekly Zoom session.

9. Senior single sites. I’m widowed and tired of being alone. The commercial sites are not responsive to my needs and keep suggesting women too far away from me.

10. Hello Senior Planet. I just discovered this interesting website and would like to ask about submitting articles for the site. I am seeking an opportunity to share my experiences, ideas, feelings and information on various matters slanted towards senior life. As a recent widow, finding a source to make a few extra dollars is a big consideration also. Your response and advice would be very much appreciated.
