I DON'T WANT TO JUST SIT AND GROW OLD? DO YOU?

I am tired of watching myself grow older each day. I want to get out of my easy chair and do something to help people. Am I crazy, or just don't fit in with society trying to push all older people into the grave?

What can we do? I have decided that I can help people if I try. Both of our lives will then be better. Today I helped a person get her computer working. Payment was suggested, but it made me feel real good when I said I just like to help people.

Will anyone join me, and see who can be the most helpful?

I'd love to join you Lee... I've been thinking for quite some time now that my life seems mainly pointless these days..... more than anything else, I want to matter! I want to do something that makes sense, that is worthwhile and could make a difference in a good way for someone somewhere. Where do we start?

I think that is great you want to help people, there are several groups posted here, on how to help others...i have a group called "hands of angels" to help people connect to others that need help...

I want to help people in small ways as well as large. My small ways are to directly help them with the computers and other problems at no cost. This helps but I believe that many are afraid to call me again because they feel they are imposing on my good nature. I have received more requests when I charged them $10 a call. This still helps as the repairmen charge at least $100 for a house call. It is hard to give things away.
I also want to help all people that have been suffering from disasters by showing them how to live where they do and how to recover on their own. This has been a hard sell, but still trying here. Need lots more imput from these people so I can help more. Any ideas?

I have an idea that may help you see how some other people are helping others after a disaster. Just locate my other site on helping people after hurricanes. I am writting a story and could sure use some more help to finish. If you can't find me, just let me know and I will get you there. Thought you would enjoy a little exercise seaching for my other post. Good luck, and I hope to see you all there.
