Hi everybody,

Here are some quotes of what your peers, who took the survey, said about it:

"I've just done it and it did indeed take around ten minutes as stated, maybe slightly less. There's nothing in it to scare the horses and anything you don't wish to answer may be skipped over."

"I received the survey and have completed and sent it. There was nothing in it that caused me concern."

"No worries at all, very straight forward."

"Done. It was not painful at all, easy peasy."

Please join this collaborative effort and take the survey too:

It is anonymous and will not take much of your time!

The results will be sent to YourLifeChoices.

Therefore, your participation will help YourLifeChoices serve YOU better!

Many many thanks,

Galit

I'm brave I did it

Good job, Tadpole! You ARE brave ;-)

And you are not alone!! Almost 200 people took the survey so far!

But we miss some Australians in the study... we only have 15 at the moment, so I hope other members of Your Life Choices will follow you.

Thanks!!

 

They got me too Taddy, nice to know I was in good company  lol Wobbly

We need just a few more survey takers!!!

I've heard from many of you who have taken the survey and found it "painless" and enjoyable.

Come on and take the survey:

Thanks so much for your collaboration!

All the best,

Galit

yes - i've done it too!

i'd like to share some comments i made in the survey:

"i would like to find more on-line communities with alternative-minded, progressive seniors - like myself.

i regularly visit three seniors sites, but find that most of the participants are conventional and very set in their ideas.  they generally want to keep the status quo.

so far, i have not found any site which i can really enjoy and find inspiring.  perhaps there is a gap in our cyberworld?

where are all the other old hippies????"

Grown up hopefully Kika.

kika, "i regularly visit three seniors sites, but find that most of the participants are conventional and very set in their ideas.  they generally want to keep the status quo."

But have you ever asked any of them for some feedback?

 

Nah, they're all wrong and you finished your learning whatever that was, years ago.

 

It is in kindness, although you probably wouldn't construe it that way, that I suggest you look into lifelong learning and the University of the Third Age. 

Now label me as something dreadful.
