Welcome to Staying Alive with Margaret and Susie.
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.960
And today we are going to talk about building local community.
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:31.679
As you guys know, Susie and I are totally like family, but we live thousands of miles apart.
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:49.840
And so even though we'd really love to be together every day and go hiking and go on marches together if they happen, or bring each other soup if we're sick, or hold each other's hands if something scary happens.
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:58.640
Like we we don't have that because uh we live so far apart, and everybody needs that in their lives.
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:10.319
And we may have it like from one significant other, but you know what we're finding as we age, you know, that old saying, it takes a village to raise a child.
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:11.120
You know what?
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:17.439
That can take village period that increases tenfold when you're getting into the elder care.
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:20.799
Like there's so many things that we need help with.
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:22.560
And so we're gonna get into that.
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.760
And um, so we need those people in our lives.
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:27.519
We just do, we do, we do.
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.840
And uh Susie and I are gonna talk about that today.
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:35.120
Anything you want to say off the bat the bat here?
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:42.159
Well, I just think it's important because we all know that social connection has a lot to do with health as we age.
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.120
That's what all the all the literature says.
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:50.400
One of the first things they say in preventing dementia or just staying healthy is to have social connection.
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:50.719
Yeah.
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.040
Yeah, that's why we're talking about it.
00:01:53.200 --> 00:02:03.280
And I was thinking about the way it was when my parents were growing up and getting into their adulthood.
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:11.280
It was always in my ancestry, it was always like the church ladies, really.
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:24.879
It really was, and that's where my mother made all her friends when she first moved to a new town when we were young children, and that's the way it was.
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:36.479
And then my my dad was a vet, and so yeah, you go, you'd go to you'd go to the American Legion or the Moose Lodge, or like, wait, what was the what's the place in Bellingham that we used to have music?
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.919
BFWs, the VFWs, the Eagles, Eagles.
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:40.639
Eagles.
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:49.039
I I don't I don't know what the Moose Moose Lodge or the Eagles is, but like we went there and then and that's the way you met your your neighbors.
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:52.319
And that wasn't that wasn't the case where I grew up.
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:59.280
I mean my parents, we weren't big churchgoers, but my my parents had a a pretty big social life.
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:14.960
My dad was in the koanas, and um they had lots of friends and they I don't know what the koanas is, but I mean this is another philanthropic uh community organization, you know, where and they do a lot of good things in communities.
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:22.240
Um my husband's parents were really into the scouts, they were like the cub man, the cub masters, the scout masters.
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.280
They took the kids on my dad the camping trips.
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:43.840
Yeah, so like there's all those other kinds of things, like as your kids are getting older, and yeah, then there are the things that you're interested in, because um that that's the place to go to to find help too and find friends.
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:51.680
And I guess when you're when you're kids, you might make your connections at school.
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:52.800
But sure.
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.120
And when you're in college, you make connections at college.
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:59.680
And sometimes when you're a young parent, you make connections with other people who have children.
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:00.960
That's what I found.
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:05.199
I ended up, you know, hanging out with my friends who had ch who's also had children.
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:05.599
Yeah.
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:06.719
And that was good, you know.
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:16.319
Now I know there's some concern nowadays that real friendship is being replaced by AI and like social media.
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.279
Uh you think that's true for older people though?
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:20.319
It depends.
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:22.800
Like if there's a mental health issue, I'm not so sure.
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:46.480
There was an article in The Guardian last week about a man who got divorced and lost all his money because there are now scams with AI where he knew it was an AI relationship, but the the woman kept saying, You're making me real or something, and he like completely dumped his wife for the AI.
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.319
Well, that sounds like dementia to me.
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:56.240
And and then and then the AI woman talked him into investing all his money somewhere.
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:57.759
So that's so sad.
00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:58.399
Yeah.
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.079
So well, that just speaks to loneliness, doesn't it?
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:02.480
Yeah.
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:03.519
And it does it.
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:09.360
And and I remember seeing something one day, the loneliness loneliness is everything that's cracked up to be.
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:14.639
And and so it's so important to figure out ways that you can make a social connection.
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:15.360
Yeah.
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:20.079
And so it can start very well with what are your common interests?
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:24.000
Like I've always been in involved in interested in health.
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:25.040
So you know what?
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:29.680
I've been a YMCA member my whole entire adult life.
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:38.480
And as I reflect back, yeah, that's where I made made my walking partners because I have moved and lived in a lot of different places.
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:43.120
Like Susie still lives in the same place we went to college 50 years ago.
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:49.920
I have had to be a little more creative in making new friends everywhere I went.
00:05:50.240 --> 00:06:04.240
Well, I for a while I lived for seven years in Oregon, and to be honest with you, that's what I missed living there was the social connection because it was in a community that I felt like didn't have the connections that I have living here.
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:04.639
Yeah.
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:05.680
Yeah.
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:06.480
Yeah.
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.439
So YMCA, that was one for me.
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.519
And then um I'm interested in local politics.
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:19.040
So I usually get involved in my local club or around that.
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:25.759
And and then there's like the art stuff, like I often join a writing group.
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:33.680
I had like a friend who was an artist, and I did all my museum stuff with with him, everything.
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:35.680
And he's no longer living.
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:39.040
And I was like, I need a new museum, buddy.
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:47.439
And uh I thought of this woman I know at the Y, and I was like, she's an artist and she loves the museum.
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:51.600
And sure enough, I was like, Do you want to go to the new exhibit, Carmen?
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:53.279
She's like, Yeah, let's go.
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:59.040
So yeah, so whatever interests you like, what kinds of groups are you involved in, Susie?
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:00.160
Well, I'm in a book group.
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:12.079
I've been in a book group for over 25 years, and so I've got that, and I have a oh, a friend that I walk with pretty um, we used to walk like almost every day, but we both are busy.
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:16.639
So we, you know, we get in usually a week, uh, one or two walks a week.
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.199
And that's a good, really good way to make connections.
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:21.360
I'm also a member of the Y off and on.
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:33.839
My husband and I are also part of a neighborhood association, which actually um got formed when there was an issue in our neighborhood with uh development, and so the neighborhood formed a neighborhood association.
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:44.000
Now in our town, there is actually a neighborhood association in every neighborhood, and that's a really good way to meet your neighbors and get involved in things.
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:53.279
Um they have regular meetings, and and we're also part of a uh community meal program that we do once a month at that's at a local church.
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:59.920
But um, you know, I think it's sad that people sometimes don't even know their neighbors, you know.
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.639
It's like, and that I think that's important.
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:08.480
I'm really fortunate in that um I know everybody on my street pretty much, and I'm glad that I do.
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:10.639
You know what my dad used to do?
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:12.720
He used to go cut the neighbors' grass.
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:14.639
Oh, like he was a good guy, you know.
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:19.040
He's like, Yeah, I mean he he liked to have a nice yard, you too, you know.
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:20.879
He's but he's really into yard work.
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:26.000
So he's like, I can cut the neighbor's grass, and and he he made friends very quickly.
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:37.519
I mean, they lived in the same place for more than 60 years, but then it became a suburb where people moved in and out, and depending on how business has changed and everything.
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:46.000
And so every few years he'd get a new neighbor and he'd go he'd go knock on the door and introduce himself, you know.
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:47.840
So that's really nice.
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:51.039
Yeah, it is, it's a good way to to meet people.
00:08:51.440 --> 00:09:00.960
And I I do think I think people during COVID became isolated and a little bit more, of course, because we had to.
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:07.600
And I think it hasn't really opened up as much as it could it was before then.
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:10.720
I think people kind of got used to being isolated.
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:19.120
My friend and I were talking this morning about how back in the 70s and the 80s, how our friends used to just drop by.
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:25.600
And I don't know if it was our age or if it was just the time, you know, and I really miss that.
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:30.799
Um the old days when people, oh, it's Margaret, she's coming over, you know, just to hang out.
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:31.919
Yeah.
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:39.519
And I I live in a city that's kind of more of a it's kind of known as a cafe culture as I think about it.
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:46.159
There was years ago, Michael Moore did a movie where he came came here and he's like in the coffee shop.
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.559
He's like, Do any of these people work?
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.559
Like everyone in the whole town is in the coffee shop all day long.
00:09:52.720 --> 00:10:04.639
And um, if I go visit my son in LA, like there's certain coffee shops where all the screenwriters are and they've got their laptops out, and they're like they're networking with each other madly.
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:08.320
And uh yeah, my husband, as you know, is from England.
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:13.679
The pub culture there, it's really important for community.
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:20.720
Like every neighborhood has its pub, not because it's like heavy drinking, but that's where you go.
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:22.559
That's where you can connect.
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:23.919
That's where you go to connect.
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:32.480
My husband just recently joined a coffee group with some friends of his, and he goes every Wednesday morning and has coffee with these guys, you know, and loves it.
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:33.840
And that's so good.
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:36.320
I was really encouraging it because I think it's important.
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:37.440
Yeah.
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:51.759
So um, we want to end up with talking about when you're a senior, if you're maybe like a little less mobile or you feel like it's harder to meet friends or whatever, then what do you do?
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:53.759
Then then what do you do?
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:54.240
Yeah.
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.639
And uh Susie's been really involved with the senior center.
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:02.159
Um and so do you want to talk about a little bit about that?
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:10.559
There's there's ways that you can get involved if you're having a hard time getting out there and making social connections.
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.639
And one of them is a senior center course.
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:17.440
Most communities have a senior center, and so there's lots of opportunities to go there and meet people.
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:19.200
Usually there's a meal.
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:33.440
Um and most places have what's called an area agency on aging, which is provide social services and connect you can connect you to social services if you're having a hard time with with connecting.
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:39.600
Maybe you need some counseling, or maybe you need help with transportation, or maybe you need some home health work.
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.879
Um, there those can be really helpful.
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.360
Also, volunteering is a way.
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:49.759
Maybe, you know, I know at our senior center, they're always looking for volunteers.
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:58.240
Volunteers, even to help set tables at lunch or greet people, um, uh, stand at the counter and answer questions.
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:02.399
I mean, it it doesn't have to be anything really difficult to do.
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:06.879
You know, there's a lot of places and there's a lot of places in a community to volunteer.
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:13.919
And it's a wonderful way to meet people because most people, when they're working in their working years, they met a lot of people that way.
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:14.399
Yeah.
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:20.799
That's a sort of, you know, I remember when I was working full time, I would come home and I'd be sort of burned out.
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:25.039
You know, I'm with people all day long, talking, talking, talking.
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:33.200
And I remember I never wanted to get on the computer at home because I just, you know, I I actually am a little bit more of an introvert.
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:41.759
I'm happy being, I didn't realize that until I got older, but I I sort of regroup by being alone.
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:42.159
Uh huh.
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:46.879
Right.
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:53.600
And I think I think it's important to kind of figure that out for yourself, yeah, whether or not you're an introvert or an extrovert.
00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:59.200
And by that, I mean extroverts are people that really get their energy from being around other people.
00:12:59.360 --> 00:12:59.759
Yeah.
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:06.080
Whereas introverts get need need to kind of regroup every once in a while and get their own, you know, create their own energy.
00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:06.639
Yeah.
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:23.519
So let's talk about that because I have a friend who's an extreme introvert and she's 78 years old, and she now needs a lot of things, and she feels overwhelmed about it.
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:28.720
And she uh she just needs a lot of support.
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:38.639
And uh, as her friends are starting to to die and everything, uh it's a little overwhelming because I feel like, gee, I can't do everything for her.
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:44.879
Like she wants me to pick her up from the doctor's office and get her up the three flights of stairs.
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:47.039
It's like, oh, I don't know.
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.480
Yeah, I don't know if I'm the best person for the job here.
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:59.279
Yeah, um, so we need to think about that what when we're we're getting up in years, and there's so many different services out there.
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:09.200
And my my friends who are good at getting the support, I noticed that they are totally hooked into their senior centers.
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:10.159
Totally.
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:15.840
And in within those senior centers, there's services, you can get lunch every day.
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.159
There's a social worker can who can help you with things.
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.399
Um connect you with resources, yeah.
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.639
Yeah, connect you with all the resources that you need.
00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:27.919
You can play games.
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:36.879
Our senior center has all kinds of games like bridge and mahjong and chess, and and they even there's a there's some foreign language going on.
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:42.480
Like um, they were telling me that there's a a group that gets together and does scrabble in French.
00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:43.679
Oh yeah.
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:49.600
I mean, you know, there's all kinds of fun things going on there, and it's it's important to be open to that.
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:53.120
It's not good to totally isolate yourself, right?
00:14:53.519 --> 00:15:09.039
And and even if you're introverted and you're perfectly happy at home, get connected with your senior center just to meet the social worker so that you know that person by name and you can call them when you need something.
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:21.840
My parents, when they like come home from a surgery or something, they call the senior center and the senior center would show up with walkers and you know everything that they needed.
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.240
And even if your senior center can't do things, they can connect you with the people who can.
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:28.000
Yeah, that's the way it works.
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:32.879
In our community, I know it's the Lions Club that helps people with handicap equipment.
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:33.440
Yeah.
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:41.600
Um, and it's it's the um Northwest Regional Council, which is our area agency on aging, that connects you with home health care.
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:42.720
Oh, that's good.
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:43.519
Yeah, yeah.
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:49.679
And you can figure out home health care through um through your doctor's office and such too.
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:50.480
Sure, yeah.
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:57.519
You know, and when you have a medical thing going on, always remember that hospitals have medical social workers.
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:03.600
I'm going through something right now and I've already found all kinds of support at the doctor's offices.
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:04.720
They have support people.
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:21.440
I think that a lot of doctor's offices have finally figured out that if they have kind of a nurse manager, not a receptionist, not a nurse, but somebody who can kind of coordinate care and call people for the doctor, it makes things go so much smoother.
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:22.000
Uh-huh.
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:28.480
And I hope that that's happening in other communities because it's really been uh noticeably happening here and it's very helpful.
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:29.440
Oh, that's good.
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:32.240
Because the doctors don't have time to make phone calls.
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:33.919
You know, they're busy.
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:34.720
Yeah.
00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:46.159
And then for more like companionship kinds of things, if you're affiliated with uh uh some religion, they often have organizations.
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:59.279
They have people that will show up and they'll bring like holiday meals to people and come and visit them on holidays if they're if they don't have anyone to visit them.
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:17.440
And then there's another uh organization that's not religious affiliation, and it was formerly called Little Brothers, like the play on Big Brothers for for children, little um little brothers, but it's now called Friends of the Elderly.
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:18.000
Oh, yeah.
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:21.599
And so look that up um and see.
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:29.839
I know that they're a nationwide organization, and what they provide is in in-person visits for companionship.
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.119
And you know what they found that seniors most want?
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:34.400
Tech help.
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:36.000
Oh, yeah.
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:37.519
Oh, yeah, I can believe that.
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:38.640
Exactly that.
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:44.799
Look and see if they have one in your town, and they'll come over and give you tech help.
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:52.480
Well, and always remember that the Meals on Wheels program is designed to bring meals to people who are homebound.
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:55.440
They don't have to be low income, they only have to be homebound.
00:17:55.519 --> 00:18:07.440
So if you can't drive, if you can't get out of your house, even for a temporary uh period of time, um, meals on wheels can deliver meals to you at very low or no cost.
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:10.400
They can connect you with resources as well.
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:16.319
Um, in our community, the Meals on Wheels program would deliver seven frozen meals a week.
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:24.480
And sometimes for people who were they couldn't cook because of a disability or something, they bring a hot meal every day.
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:28.559
So so all communities have those programs.
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:30.079
Oh, that's great.
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:34.079
Yeah, and that's a way to, you know, make a connection, you know, with people.
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:35.440
Yeah.
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:40.960
I mean, I remember you said when you didn't you sometimes do delivery for meals.
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:42.640
No, I did home visits.
00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:53.920
Once in a while they had me do delivery, but most of the time I did home visits for to check on people's eligibility and to see how they're doing follow-up so and so I was out in the community a lot.
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:54.240
Yeah.
00:18:54.480 --> 00:19:00.240
Yeah, that's what I remember that it included home visits, yeah, which is really great.
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.599
Yeah, and that was um it was it was good.
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:05.519
I was in all kinds of different places, yeah.
00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:08.240
Yeah, yeah, met all kinds of people.
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:18.319
Well, I think that just about covers why why we feel it's important for your health in every way to build local community.
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:21.680
And if you can't get out there, get somebody to come in.
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:26.160
Any anything else you want to say today on that?
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:37.599
Um no, I only the only thing I can think of is that not to rely too much on um the computer just for companionship.
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:42.799
You know, people do Facebook and like you were saying, AI kind of things.
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:46.880
Yeah, those things aren't necessarily real social connections.
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:47.680
Yeah, yeah.
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:52.559
As far as I know, the computer can't make chicken soup for you if you have a cold.
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:55.200
I I don't think you know can't give you a hug.
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:57.039
Can't give you a hug.
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:05.680
This guy who who got divorced, he thought that he can get that, but you know, uh, it didn't work out, I don't think.
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:07.440
Yeah, so sad.
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:08.960
So sad.
00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:10.240
Well, great.
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.640
So this has been wonderful, and I hope that um this is helpful to people.
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:34.960
Yeah, be sure and um when you listen, like and subscribe, and you can listen on different platforms YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, you know, and check out our website, which is staying alive with Margaret and Susie, S U S Y dot com.
