Have you ever volunteered in a nursing home or assisted care center? Or a veterans' hospital? Lots of chance to visit & talk there. Talk about yourself, too. Practice social & friend skills.

A lot of the folks here aren't drugged-up dottering old foggies. Many are still in full possession of their minds, they have simply outlived friends and family or at least those who care. In fact they feel a lot like many of us do.

Just a thought.
