Hi my name is Les, I am a full time Carer of a lady friend who had a Stroke and has lost 90% use of her right arm and leg, so that keeps me busy, we are both 74y.o.. I look forward to reading your emails in the mornings before my busy period.
Kind regards,

Hello all.
I joined late February 2024.
I'm Ingot and I like to help deserving people and bash deserving people, while defending the defenceless in life.
My midwifery career was the greatest joy of my life, but on another level, my family trumps all.
Here's my Bio for those who like to get bored:
****************
After high school, Bundaberg Qld, I became an Industrial Chemist.
Retired Reg Nurse of 40 years
Hobbies: Freelance writing, Stirling Engines, novel writing, unsuccessful currency trader + many other things.

Currently authoring a SDC post: "Someone Collapses in front of you. Would you know enough to save their life?"

https://seniorsdiscountclub.com.au/...uld-you-know-enough-to-save-their-life.46735/


Care for my terminally ill wife.
Looking for some sort of paid light employment - working from home
74 yrs old.
Born and bred in Nanango , Qld - dairy farm life - town life.
Decided to follow Christ at an early age, and that has been my best decision.
Initially an Industrial Chemist 1968 - 1976
Switched to timber work (railway-sleeper cuttering) to finance Uni education, medicine.
No success with the finance for the Uni, so switched to Nursing in 1984.

Have worked as: slaughterman (small country town)
Registered Nurse (Public and Private)
Precepting and assessing new Uni student nurses
Midwife
ICU
CCU
ED
Aged Care
Medical/Surgical
Rural and Remote
Correctional Centre ClinicalNurse
Woomera Immigration Receiving and Processing Centre (Woomera WIRPC)

Still nosing around on my way through life.

Have lived/worked in every state of Australia except Victoria.
Have family - 3 boys and 1 girl plus 6 grandchildren (so far).

That's me :)
Really enjoy relating to you guys - thanks for accepting me.
 
Hi all
I’m 63 and live in Melbourne’s south eastern suburbs. I enjoy reading some of the articles and comments, but I note some people just can’t help themselves to whinge and bitch about politics. At the top of the New Members welcome is a request to leave political statements in that forum.
I was interested in the article about the big retailers, then had to wade through political grandstanding. It’s very simple, but I have to put up with these whingers everywhere. I don’t have a problem to leave the group if that’s what it takes to avoid it.
Aside from that, I hope to enjoy the group.
Cheers
