Likewise! Amazing that Bloom is celebrating 10 years. Congrats and kudos! Like Oldster's big sister...

You are a force! (And you've reminded so many of us that we are, too.) Mazl tov on Oldster's 1st birthday. As the song goes, "and many more."

Congratulations on one year! ☺️🥳🍰🎂🎉 Your "for the uninitiated" blurb perfectly summed up what I love about Oldster: it's not just about being older; it's also about the journey of aging and growing throughout our lives. I love all the stories from all kinds of people at different stages of life, as aging isn't just something that happens when you're 70. Thank you for sharing your stories, and for giving others the opportunity to share theirs! ☺️
