LONDON — For most of us, the older we get, the more we slow down physically. But for some, growing old also means slowing down socially — so much to the point that some home-bodied seniors go days with little to no human interaction. A new survey of British elders sheds light on this sad, but true effect of aging, noting that hundreds of thousands of people often go a week without speaking to a single person.

Dear RM Agents and Readers,

I'm lucky, although I may not speak to someone in person; I speak to at least one family member a day, have a special phone call a week and my animal kids/friends.

Haven't drove for the last 10 years due to lack of funds for a vehicle and also health issues that concerned me for my driving skill. Things are looking up in this area though so who knows:)

My generation was hit very hard with Lyme and Co infections which caused the crazies in many families that had never seen such a thing before. If only there would have been more doctors that understood much of this was from bacterial infections and would have known how to treat so many of them wouldn't have been lost in such horrific ways.

I've often pondered if the controllers of the planets don't get bored and need new stories, certainly Lyme and coinfections would create that.

It is easier to be kind so take a chance,

Many Blessings,
