Many people on "benefits" can't get credit cards, it should be remembered......

I used to have 8. I've had zero for ~7 years now. Some people have them, some don't. I presented it as one option that's far more logical than suicide. Alternatively, we have government offices dedicated to serving Canadians.. that's why their locations are called "Service Canada," and are the go-to resource location for virtually ALL government services. Either that or dial "1-800 O-Canada" and speak to someone from the same agency.

Credit? None.
Documents? There are no physical documents.
Do it myself? Not since the concussion; I'm serious.
Service Canada? I'm disabled; need money to travel and strength to stand.

It's that cockiness in your messages that makes me mad enough to respond.
You really believe what you say and none of it can be true of me.

I have made arrangements and, as usual, the issue might get solved or not.
Don't give me more ideas, please.

You’re not on benefits

Yess he does it with me often

Hugs glad you’re ok.
I never watched cheers.

Claradoon.....is just TOO sexy

I'm glad to see you are still around. I don't know anything about the tax or benefit system in Canada, so I can't be of much help with that, but I think one way or another you might benefit from a companion. There are a lot of people your age who are lonely and just want someone to talk to and keep them company.

Cheers ran 1983 - 1994. One of the top comedies of all time.
You and I both should grab a rerun somewhere.

Frasier was a spinoff (you've never seen Frasier?)

I don't have a TV because I don't watch it except times like this
or if I have the flu. But it would take $50 connection and the cost
of a screen ... nope. Oh! I'll try YouTube. You try too, tell me if you
like it.

Separated only by Donald Trump's border!

And these possible companions are hiding where, if you please?

Everyone! Remember Goldfish is autistic just like the rest of us on here. If he's coming across as condescending he is not meaning to but the way he communicates here is his natural mode of communication. What it is is that he's simply excited of his self-improvement and wants to share the good news. No harm! No foul! It took me a bit to realize this.

I mean what is he gaining from providing the info he has provided. Has he made any profit as for as we know? I don't think so. I disagree with him on a number of things but I think he's a good guy and his heart is in the right place. Don't we all wish NTs would attempt to accept certain things about us, our quirks, our perceived rudeness and our intents. I know I do. Ya, he may come across a certain way but I choose to accept that is who he is and his intent is noble and good. And, quite honestly don't we autistics pride ourselves on logic and reason. I know I do. Don't some of us say that what is wrong with the NT world is that they put their feelings above facts? Don't we wish NTs would look at the content of what we say and not our tone? If that is so, wouldn't it make more sense to quit looking at his tone and look at his content?

Sorry for my soap box but I had to say this.

I agree with you about Goldfish. He's a good guy.

He does go a bit overboard at times, though.

Of course Goldfish is a good guy. I can see that even as I struggle with the content, which has no bearing on my reality. Over and over, the same inapplicable advice. Maybe that's an autistic trait, too - repeating things. Anyway, I know Golfish is a good guy because when I asked him to stop, he stopped. Thank you, Golfish.

Thanks for telling me about it. Yes, almost the same situation. They will fine you??? I'm very sorry to hear that. Please let me know how it goes.

A lot of single men your age who are retired stay active with clubs or volunteer organizations or attend senior oriented events. In my area, gem and mineral clubs/lapidary clubs, model train clubs were populated almost entirely by older men. The same was true of the gardening club. It's also not unusual for single older men to frequent cafes or restaurants for breakfast or maybe dinner, and a lot of men your age still like going to watch bands play at local venues.
