Here's a tip to keep the dishes from piling up. Just have one or two dinner plates, forks, spoons, knives, etc. Put the rest away. Whenever you eat, wash your one dish and knife, fork and spoon as soon as you finish eating. Takes about 30 seconds, your dishes never pile up, and they are always clean.

I use paper plates

Don't put the rest away, don't even own the rest they become to big of a temptation to skip the wash job and grab one of the rest.

Great advice. My wife passed almost 2 years ago. Being by myself is not something I enjoy. Some say they like the peace they have. I had an opposite situation several days ago. I got a call from my 11 years old granddaughter's school. They couldn't reach her Mom so they called me. I was having a bad day dealing with my loneliness and cancer situation. My granddaughter was screaming her teeth hurt and was at the nurses office. I rushed to the school and took her to the dentist for a loose tooth. Thus my day was turned upside down. Yet it was great to spend the afternoon with my granddaughter and have lunch with her. It made me feel I was useful and can help when needed.

[@Shaolin91z]

Peace in Christ surpasses all understanding. Bible study class gives you peace. Thanks Lord for your peace and salvation. Peace negates loneliness

[@sciencedaemon]

Clearly you are not doing the right things for your health. Where do you think cancer comes from? It comes mainly from your diet (except certain types of cancer such as lung cancer). This means they are mostly due to people's own lifestyle choices. Loneliness is also a choice, an emotional addiction to people that you refuse to see for what it is and dump it. Try developing a life philosophy like stoicism. You can't control everything. The things you can't control you must discard because they waste your energy. Focus only on the things you can control, your diet, exercise, etc. This approach can only improve your experience to some degree.

Respectfully suggest at some point you will retire and the crash of NOT working 40-80 hours will set in. Consider anything, anything, that helps you slowly off-ramp from such a high level of activity towards a retired status. If your body allows, walk a couple miles a day. I found: People look suspiciously at me (I look younger than I am) if I walked the streets, always walking new streets because I am curious how "normies" live. I got a dog. This dog is a pain but also, showed me they are semi-sentient (aussies anyway) and astonishingly intuitive. Sure, picking up the dog doo blows, but an unending opportunity to chat, interface, and NEVER see them again, almost always. Other thing. If you, like me, despise working out, it turns out merely bending over a few times a day to the ground (picking up the poo, brush dog, whatever) really helps well beyond merely walking or getting some cardio. I think, pre-civilization, people either bent down or were burdensome (scavenging or whatnot) so the spinal cord has no pump, but if you bend in your later years amidst exercise, this duplicates the motion, and mixes the brain-spinal (CSF) fluid and for me, I predictably, repeatedly, sleep better that night. YMMV of course. Wish you well.

I'm 64, best friend 70, we realized about 4 years ago that it wasn't so great financially to be on our own when we crunched numbers, we now share a 2/2 condo, enough room to have privacy, we have helped with medical appointments and other issues that have come up. If you find someone that's really a good match, you don't have to live alone in silence and you get human interaction which is invaluable. We also maintain our own interests, some friends in common, we are in a senior community, but this works in any community.

I think people are having a blast being alone. Myself, I never knew how much I craved time alone and how awful it was to never have silence when I was married to the extrovert covert narcissist who loved to provoke me.

I do things at my own pace, and the quiet and peaceful days have restored my nervous system. If I die alone, no problem. No one dies alone. You will see how this is true.

These are all great tips for seniors, not just men. I'm in my 40s and work a desk job. My physical condition has definitely deteriorated in the last few years and I'm making an effort to get more active. I also have a grandmother who now lives in a home with dementia. She shouldn't have lived alone as long as she did. Mental deterioration may hamper it, but seniors should be honest with themselves about when they should be moving to a facility with oversight. I come from a family of deeply independent people, but there comes a point when you just can't take care of yourself. Also can't stress the point about de-cluttering. It took months to clear out the house and we found items from as far back as the 60s that clearly hadn't been used in decades. Most of it was useless and thrown out.

Another thing is having to be in the hospital for something, and not having anyone around.

Excellent points With back pain I ended up on the floor unable to find a way to get up. Luckily family members were there but still had to call the emergency services for a paramedic. They gave me laughing gas and the pain went away and I was able to get myself onto the gurney, I had an x-ray and was cleared of any severe back problem. Lesson learned, if back pain returns, set up precautions, take strong pain killer if needed before bed. Keep pain killers, water, walking canes, phones near bed just in case. If I had been alone that morning, I would have laid on the floor for many hours unable to get up.

I've lived without other humans for almost two decades now. I'll never live with anyone again. I don't care what anyone says either. I'd rather die alone than live with humans. Other people being around just isn't worth it.

Mark, you have hit the nail on the proverbial head on all your points in this episode. Made me chuckle several times and yes made me think I should probably address several things in my life right now. Great video with great info.

Excellent! You may have saved someone's sanity or even their life.
