Hi, I'm going a little COVID crazy after a whole year without my family! I live in coastal Maine & am not able to visit my children & grandkids in Vt. & Pa. Waiting for my vaccine, but Maine seems to be behind in that dept.

it seems to me even 25 years ago all the chat rooms were for dating purposes only i could not get a decent conversation going about anything other than hooking up with opposite gender and most of the conversation was about sex that is not what i want to talk about all the time once in awhile is ok but i would rather talk about sports politics and other peoples philosophy of life

Hi I’m new to this group Mick from Dublin 60 how are you
Response from Rayot made on 30th Jan 2021 11:08:55
Hello, Micko60.

I am fine thankyou. Everybody here in Portugal is winging about the shutdown of bars, restaurants, non-food shops etc. For me the glass is half full. I can learn to cook, listen to the radio, phone friends etc. so it really is not that bad

However, having been to Dublin a few times I must admit wondering along Tempe Bar on a Saturday night must be different now. I used to have a boxty (?), Back then there were no trouble makers just happy drunks who loved to sing and every bar had someone who could play the piano. They forgave me for being part English when they heard that I could sing Kevin Barry, Sean South of Garryowen, I`m a rambler I´m a gambler etc.

They say that nostalgia is alright, but it`s not what it used to be !!!

Hi! I'm 66 years old, originally from Texas but have been living in New Mexico for the past three years and love it. COVID has really put a strain on my life. I'm normally very active with varied interests - cooking, crafting, writing, music, reading, and gardening. Would love to talk to anyone from anywhere about most anything. Love learning about new places and cultures. If you'd like to talk give a holler and I'll respond.
Response from Rayot made on 12th Jan 2021 14:24:26
Hello, GingerA.

I, like many people in the rest of the world, feel sympathy for sensible Americans at this time of embarrassment for you.

You had a real world leader in Obama and now you`re going to have another, but this time he wont be stymied by the Opposition.

Biden has such worldly knowledge and intellect. If ever there was a country that needed a president like Biden will be it is now.
Response from GingerA made on 13th Jan 2021 05:08:14 > @Rayot
I still can't believe Trump won the election in 2016. Everyone knew what he was. This is far from over. It's worse than an embarrassment, it has the feel of an impending civil war. It's such a joy hearing Biden speak. Finally a voice of calm reason in a storm of hate filled screams from the ignorant and corrupt. An elected official said it well, you can't fix stupid and there are over 70 million of them who are so proud of their idiocy and immorality and refuse to look at the truth. We will come out of it.
Response from Rayot made on 19th Jan 2021 14:35:21 > @GingerA
I hear there are 20,000 soldiers guarding Capital House. More soldiers than in Afghanistan and Iran together ! We are told that the soldiers are being vetted because it is believed that some will still show loyalty to Trump. A BBC reporter commented that Trump`s wall has been built, but it`s around parliament not Mexico !!!

Yes, I agree many people fear that there will be more trouble tomorrow, but at least America has the beginning of some sensible leadership. Biden will help settle the Middle East crisis, re-join the Paris agreement, promote the Black Lives Matter movement and the Obamacare programme.
Response from GingerA made on 20th Jan 2021 03:07:39 > @Rayot
Hope blooms! Senator Mitch Mcconnell is head of the GOP and he blasted Trump and the insurrectionists. Finally! It was a strategic power play but welcome all the same.

i understand, take care and stay safe and well
mr chipps1

sometimes it is hard to navigate a computer site,
so then i get flustered and almost take flight
but normally i think hard and work things out,
instead of losing my rag and beginning to shout

so the moral is of my poem is to keep on trying
instead of your losing patience and crying
because when you have achieved what you need
you will end up feeling very pleased in deed
