Welcome to those that joined 50+ in May 2020!

Are you new to the 50+ community for the month of May?
Say hello here and get to know others who have joined this month too!
New here. Found this site through NAMI. My loved one is having some difficulty and is currently living with us. The trigger is that when I was my loved one's age, I had some similar stuff going on but now have got through it. Without a lot of help, but with good friends who I can now recognize were very tolerant of me. Reconciling my then-me with my now-me is my current journey as I attempt to do my best to help my loved one without being overbearing or smothering.
@AmaryllisBlossom - welcome! I'm new too, but wanted to say hello. I'm trying to figure out how to best use the site. Hope you are finding it helpful.
If any of you find out how to get on 50+ chat group chat room let me know.

@PatienceImpatiens Ooops sorry about the extra posts. I meant to say hi and welcome you to 50plus.
It may be May but it sure feels like September. All this rain and cold and gloom is really getting to me. Not to mention having everyone underfoot 24/7.
My second marriage seems to have hit the 12-year roadblock and its really getting me down.
@BlueWillow24 Hi sorry to hear about what you are going thru. Welcome to 50+

Have you been able to get into the 50+ group for chat and programs?
@impartialDrum1848 thank you for checking! I'm trying? Having some difficulty navigating. Any tips?
@pluckyAcai7322
I needed to chat with 5 different listeners. I guess I didn't chat long enough, some only i answered chat 6 0r 7 times. I needed to chat 10 times with each. I was told I did chat long enough. There still might be other things I need to do also.
@impartialDrum1848 I think that the chats with each listener have to have 30 different texts. let me know if you still have trouble getting into the room.
