I heard someone refer to a 60’s woman as a Dolly Bird. What other terms have fallen by the wayside?

I’ve been alone since my wife’s death from ovarian cancer 14 years ago. I’m not really interested in the romantic aspect of a relationship I’m just lonely. Don’t get my wrong I’m grateful for the life I have and my grandson. I also have an amazing dog. It’s just sometimes I wish I had a companion to do life with. If I didn’t marry again I would be happy with that as well. God bless everyone and take care!

Hi! I’m a rising junior in undergrad working on a summer research project about long-term planning, largely as it relates to end-of-life healthcare and financial planning. This is a sensitive, tough topic but we're trying to understand families' experiences with long-term planning and the challenges they face.

I’ve talked to quite a few people in their 40s and 50s, but it would be super helpful to reach more folks ages 60+.

I have a few questions to start, but would love to connect for a short phone call:

1. What kinds of conversations have you had on this topic and with whom? For example, conversations about:
   1. Legal documents: wills, trusts, estate planning
   2. Financial management: monthly bills, accounts,
   3. Long-term healthcare: insurance, age-in-place plans
   4. End-of-life wishes: assisted living, funeral, burial wishes

These conversations could be about yourself or about a loved one.

1. Based on those conversations, how prepared are you / is your loved one?
2. If you haven't had conversations, what is holding you back from having these conversations?
3. What resources would be helpful for long-term planning & preparation for yourself or a loved one? What resources have been helpful?

Your input would be invaluable to our research, and you'll have a chance to win a $100 gift card as a thank-you. If you're willing to help, please comment or shoot me a DM. Thank you! 

We are currently recruiting adults aged 60+ to take part in a no-cost brief sleep coaching study conducted online. The study does not involve the use of any medication, and we will not ask people who are currently taking sleep medications to stop taking them.

This study is really exciting because we’re offering a free and very brief sleep coaching treatment. The study is conducted over Zoom so you can participate from the comfort of your own home.

First, we would like to ask you some questions over the phone, which usually takes around 15 minutes, to see whether the brief treatment may be helpful to you, and whether or not you meet the criteria for participating in the study. If you do meet the criteria for participating in the study, and we think that the treatment would be helpful for you, we will invite you to participate and ask you some additional questions for ~45 minutes. We may determine after this Zoom interview that our treatments are not a good fit for your particular needs. If you are not eligible for this study, we will give you some referrals for other places where you may be able to get help, if you like.

Second, you will be invited to attend 3 sleep coaching sessions, spaced one week apart, via Zoom. These will include some assessments too. All three sessions will be 60 minutes long. In the first two sessions, you will be presented with videos created by Dr. Allison Harvey, a psychologist and sleep scientist. The videos will cover the most important parts of an effective and evidence-based sleep treatment. Your sleep coach and you will watch the videos together, and then your sleep coach will ask you questions about the videos. In the third session, you will work with your sleep coach to apply what you’ve learned in the first two sessions to your own life and sleep habits.

If you are interested in learning more, please contact us by email at sleepandmemoryteamUCB@gmail.com, or via phone at (510) 575-9319‬. You can also learn more about us through our lab website: https://sleepteam.berkeley.edu/

Thank you!

Warm regards,

Hi!

My name is Kunling and I'm a senior in high school conducting a research survey on autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) and age. ASMR is a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus, often a particular sound. If you haven't tried it before, you can in this survey!

I'm trying to evaluate how age and perception of ASMR can affect responses to it. I need responses from a wide variety of ages, so it would be awesome if you could take this relatively short 7-10 minute survey!

It is a two-part questionnaire where you will take a pre-test and post-test before and after watching a 5-minute ASMR video.

COVID-19 has affected the elderly population severely. The younger generation has had the help of technology during these times but the seniors are not capable to use most of these technologies cause it was not designed with them in mind. We are hoping to create an application to support elderly users’ physical and mental wellbeing in our current times.

Are you older than 65 years old?

Are you willing to answer a few questions about your usage of technology?

If you are part of the younger generation, are you willing to fill this survey out on behalf of a senior citizen you know?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, please fill out this survey to help us create an excellent application to help the elderly population during these tough times.

Survey is available at: https://forms.gle/ipWuG3FV7KPqiH4F9

P.S: This study is conducted in the scope of a course for software engineering.
