Interesting article. Hope the elderly population that usually votes Dem will read this and think about it!

Thank you, Joe. Suitable for printing and BTTT.

Summer, I love your introduction. Jeb respects us all and his concern and caring for seniors is genuine - not just something on a campaign strategy to do list.

FYI: Dunedin is a charming town north of Clearwater but if anyone wants to buy a home there, there is a SINKHOLE PROBLEM. That's all I know on that subject so please let's get back to the subject of the thread so that summer doesn't smack my hand with a ruler. LOL

Jeb and seniors GENUINE COMPASSION COMBINED WITH LONG OVERDUE SOLUTIONS.

RE: post 6. It's up to boomers to relate to seniors they know and to concurrently inform the younger crop of Floridians who are newer to the voting roles.

Many boomers have adult children who do listen to them and senior parents who have varying needs day to day. IMO, the seniors (mom) are more rebellious listening to suggestions than adult children. However, there's no prodding when it comes to Jeb. Mom's liked him without any input from me.

Mom and me, well, we have talks about other stuff that go nowhere. Mom, "It's my home and I'm not getting rid of any of my tupperware because I may use it someday." LOL

Thanks, FV. I bet Janet Reno never even heard of this program to help seniors. She is always flustered and appears ignorant whenever people ask her about existing policies in FL -- as when a parent asked her if she would keep Jeb's voucher program for disabled students. Reno did not even know there was such a program to help disabled students.

(BTW, I have never smacked anyone with a ruler!)

BTTT! Thanks for taking the time to check this out, livius. :)

Thanks for the article summer. My mother is too old (and stubborn) to move from Wisconsin (though I wish she didn't have to cope with those winters anymore), and I'm not quite ready for this kind of community yet, but it is interesting.

I agree, it is quite interesting. People certainly want to remain independent for as long as possible.

BTW, I hope you and your mom get some warmer weather soon! :)

Go JEB! This is a good idea....

Thanks, Jennifer. And, yes, this is a good IDEA! As I asked in a recent editorial:

Where are the BIG IDEAS from Jeb's opponents???.....

I really appreciate your post here, Jennnifer! Because the above is a question I hope FL voters keep asking -- and your comment reminded me to ask it again! :)

Re your post #19 - LOL..... thanks for posting cartoons, Joe. :)

[summer]

So what has Reno done? I mean besides harm children!

Good question. And, what does she propose to do? Especially with seniors?

Thanks for asking that, Khepera. :)

No problem I'm an expert at stating the obvious.
