    Call your senior relatives people

    Don’t just see them on the holidays

    Hell you see an old person out and about try to start a conversation, those conversations can have a real impact on their lives.

      Call your senior relatives

      Good advice. I don’t regret any of the time I spent with my Grandma. She was hysterically funny and would always stop what she was doing to chat. I could tell she really valued the time. She also taught me a ton of stuff about cooking, canning etc

      Regular interaction helps them avoid senility as well.

          Sometimes people live in apartments or some other living arrangements that don’t allow for pets. Stop being a dumbass.

                Landlords cannot tell you what you can do within your rented apartment in EU. Like at all.

                  That’s wrong. At least in Germany landlords can forbid larger animals. But they can’t do anything about smaller animals like cats or similar sized dogs. Though there’re exceptions to this general rule.

          Yeah, it’s called being old. It’s literally what we’re talking about right now.
