The AI pictures they send are so fake.
🤩We are in the "Fantasy Age"…!!!
But, if you want a spectacular "fashion show" of handsome seniors - it's also possible in "reality" as in the imaginary picture...😂
As if there are no retirees in Kiryat Haim and K. Shmuel
Always in Haifa
This is really annoying. I've already written to them several times, there's just no response.
😍 "Quarter" K. Haim & Shk. K. Shmuel = "Haifa"!!!
From all over Haifa, we sometimes wander to the "Northern Theater" to watch this or that "cultural show"... @ 😭
So that I can also enjoy the paid shows
I would appreciate it if you would add me to your mailing list. I would also like to receive publications that benefit retirees. Thank you.
