I check in with my best friend every morning. Have done it for years.
Great idea. 👍
Might be a good use for AI. It would talk for as long as you like.
This is going to be a much bigger issue with the COVID generation. My experience is that younger people don't want to do much outside of their houses. They don't even want to come into the office to work. In my lifetime, society has gone from having block parties, holiday parties, community parties, dinner clubs, bridge / poker clubs, high church attendance, and other participation in community events, to doing almost nothing communally anymore. Everyone wants to sit at home and planning a Haloween Party or dinner party for friends in the neighborhood is too much effort.
I don’t think I could handle having the phone ring 211 times every morning.
Love this! :)
That’s a great idea. I have hopefully a long way to go before that would be a concern but I’ve thought about what would happen to my dog (dogs in the future) if I were to croak suddenly. Something like this is a great idea. If you don’t respond, send somebody out to do a wellness check.
Both of our mother’s really welcomed prepaid telephone cards to call us, other relatives and friends.
That was decades ago.
My wife uses her phones from breakfast to dinner to contact locals, relatives and friends across our nation.
I prefer texting or emails.
One adult son and his wife have a daghter on the East Coast and a son finishing college a couple of hundred miles away.
Every Sunday afternoom, they chat for about an hour with everyone on the line.
I believe they also mail out greeting cards to those who belong to the group.
When I get a phone call, my #1 priority is getting off that call as soon as possible.
That's a wonderful program but that's the sad reality of elderly singles who are not socially active and may not have any family members.
At my age, I could fall down the stairs to the basement and lay there until I die and the only calls on my phone would be from softball friends calling and asking where I am and I'm not able to answer the phone.
