Why Seniors still need NEWSPAPERS....

I was visiting my daughter last night when I asked if I could borrow a newspaper....

"This is the 21st century" she said. "We don't waste money on
newspapers. Here… use my iPad...."


I can tell you this.... That fly never knew what hit him....

That was too funny.  I don't have a newspaper subscription, but I do try to grab the Sunday newspaper for coupons and certain other articles.  My grandson was in the paper, and I missed it.  One Sunday, my hubby had a picture taken because we had a tornado in the area and he volunteered to help out.  I got that paper, but had no idea it was him!  LOL!!

I need to subscribe to the paper because our local paper won't allow you to view it on line unless you have a hard copy subscription. They just upped the cost again to $201 a year. That's ridiculous for 20 pages and half those pages are mostly ads, which should be paying the majority of costs to print it.

I love reading a newspaper. Unfortunately I seldom have the time. I always find interesting articles and editorials I just don't find online. My father still reads the paper every day.

I receive the Sunday paper but they stopped the daily paper because I live to far out and no one else near me was getting it daily.  I have to have a subscription to access it online anyway.  It costs me about $100 a year.

That was a good one! My mother still gets the paper she is 80, she brings it to us when she is done with it, we use it for the litter box!

I read the paper once a week and I don't subscribe to it. It is such a rinky dink once a week paper. Too me it is not worth the cost. But dad, who lives out of town gets it. Suits him too a T. so when we go out either to take him groceries or just to pick him up and go somewhere I read it. Takes me about 15 minutes.

That was a good one. I wasn't expecting that outcome.

My father still gets the paper daily.  He reads it for hours in the morning, even looks at the ads - even though he never buys anything.  He does the crossword puzzle all morning.    Brain Training maybe.    I don't know what he would do with his mornings if he canceled the paper, he would be lost.  & he has an iPad but doesn't really use it.    He's 79. an active & fit 79, but still needs that paper.   Old people............

My Husband (not a senior) loves to sit and read the morning newspaper while drinking his coffee each morning. He reads other content online but it its not the same.

We get the Sunday paper for coupons and to read some articles.  Most of the little store's around here have quit carrying it, we have to go all the way to town to get it. Walgreens usual has one of the Sunday papers we can buy on Monday.
