Good to hear from you, Loonie and to know you are well. Have you tried any of the computer tools that can help impaired vision?

Warm regards,

Stephen

Great to hear from you, Loonie. You helped me a lot after I joined this forum ... was going to say "a few" years ago, but I checked an it was over 8 yrs ago. Unbelievable how time is speeding by.

my wife and I are dealing with an aging parent as well, she's 99. It is not an easy mission for sure.

All the best to you and your Mum ...

Thanks, guys. I think I'm blushing.

I'm still kicking and so is my very, very elderly mum (at least this week)!

I would like to participate more but I just can't keep up. Vision remains a big issue.

It's very nice to know that people benefited from some of my posts.

Thanks @gicjunkie, this was on my mind. I'll add my gratitude to Loonie for so much beneficial information, clearly and cogently expressed.

I messaged Loonie and got a reply. He is okay. He still has vision issues, but is very busy with other things now. He very much appreciates everyone's concerns, but just has different priorities now. Again, thanks for asking.

I remember clearly, maybe a year ago, Loonie did return to the forum. He said something like he was having difficulty getting a new computer that would address some of the communication problems he had. I think perhaps one he/she needed one that she could talk into. If you recall, he/she was having great difficulty with their sight. Never heard after that. Sure do miss his posts.

You mean they may have passed away / died ?

Or in a nursing home or suffering from dementia or blindness, etc.

Yes, Loonie always had words of wisdom for us. I suspect that her mother, who was close to 100 years old, passed away and no doubt Loonie is busy as the executor. Well, that is my wild guess.

Hope she returns one of these days!

I wouldn't read too much into Loonie's absence. Life situations change by choice, or by circumstance. I've participated in half a dozen financial discussion forums over the years and long time members move on for a variety of reasons.

Of the half dozen or so financial forums I have participated in over the past ~30 years, there are 2 of them that I have not been active, nor posted, in for several years.

That sounds like this summer 2025 thread.
