' It said studies indicate that people who enjoy "social support" good relationships with family, friends and partners tend to live longer, healthier lives. Here are some suggested tips for meeting new people: 1. Be a "joiner." Join a a ' community organization, special-intereor a group book club. Scan community calendars and senior center listings for ideas. Create your own group. 2. Travel. Contact a travel agent about special tours ' for older people or singles. 3. Be a good sport. Attend local spectator events. Meet fellow golfers on the driving range. Take classes in a new sport, or join an exercise class. 4. Get a pet. Pets are st , 1 - Take of their magnetadvantage ic personalities by making attention-grabber- s. ; conversation with people who stop and talk. 5. Study up. Take a class in finance, gardening, computers or cooking. Finish your degree, or earn another one. Check community colleges for classes. 6. Share your knowledge or talent. Teach what you know financial planning, cooking, sewing, music, and so on. 7. Volunteer. Read with elementary students. Visit ' a homebound neighbor. Work at a local shelter, food bank or meals program. Be a mentor to a ' youngster or colleague. 8. Be neighborly. Invite a neighbor over for dinner. ' Start a friendship by ask- ing a favor. 9. Attend worship servio es. Studies show that older people who attend religious services live longer 1,1 than those who don't attend services. adult-educati- on Couple still together Dear Readers: This news story, which appeared in the Toledo Blade, was sent to me by Tracey Elmore of Maumee, Ohio.

Have things changed this much? When I was raised, people didn't help themselves to anything in another person's house. It was my understanding that if you brought a gift or a dish to the party, it was the property of the hostess to serve or not as she saw fit. I actually saw one lady put an entire loaf of bread into her bag. The hostess had almost nothing left. I overheard her husband ask, "What happened to the bread we had for dinner? I'd like a sandwich." Imagine, not enough left for a sandwich! When you bring a dish to a party, do you scoop it up and take whatever is left home with you? Do you fix yourself a "doggie bag" without the hostess's permission, knowledge or consent? Abby, isn't what goes into a hostess's house hers to do with as she wishes?
