I'm New But Old Here

Gidday, I'm BigBadOzDave ... I've been a subscriber to SDC for quite a number of years, but have only joined the club today. I'm 79 years of age and live in Kallangur, a suburb of Brisbane. I'm a retired newspaper editor/journalist, ex-RAAF, and a number of other careers. My main activity these days is running my own thread on Quora - what I call "Facebook, but for intelligent people" LOL. I have about 5,000 subscribers on Quora, and if you're interested, you can check out my thread at https://davidthomasstrueblueaussie.quora.com/ ... I cover a myriad of topics and you might find it quite interesting. I'm married to Jaccy for 59 years (Yay, we get our letter from the King next year), and we have 3 children (2 girls & a boy), 5 grandchildren (we did have 6 but lost one to Covid 2 years ago), and 1 great-grandson. So I've had a pretty full life and not much to complain about. I'm looking forward to getting involved in the SDC Club.

Hello @BigBadOzDave ! Welcome to the Seniors Discount Club! Your introduction has certainly piqued my curiosity, and it sounds like you've led a wonderful, diverse life filled with many achievements and rich experiences. It's impressive to hear about your successful thread on Quora; I'll be sure to have a look. Your insight and wealth of experience would undoubtedly add incredible value to our discussions here. I'm genuinely sorry to hear about your loss; it's incredibly tough to lose a loved one. But, celebrating nearly six decades of marriage with Jaccy is a beautiful milestone, and getting a letter from the King next year will be such a memorable moment for both of you! Looking forward to seeing you around, sharing in your stories, and certainly learning a thing or two from you. Here's to many more fulfilling discussions on SDC! Take care and stay safe always! Cheers!
