Hi, anyone who wants to chat feel free. I'm wondering just how people are coping with lockdown loneliness?

Hi
I will be so glad when we are virus free, I am struggling with not being able to just nip to a coffee shop or for a browse around the shops. I feel like I am losing my independence, does that sound stupid. How is everyone else coping.
Response from AnneW61 made on 28th Dec 2020 20:12:52 > @Catlover59
yeah thats exactly how i felt like a prisoner in my own home
Response from AnneW61 made on 28th Dec 2020 20:13:56 > @AnneW61

Hi catlover,I haven't been on this site for a very long time so please forgive me if I'm commenting in the wrong place,I'm a bit rusty at it.
I read on your first comment you have a kitten and a budgie, that's lovely.
We had a kitten a few weeks ago he's now 15 weeks old and due his second jab tomorrow.
We have 3 cats and 2 strays which I look after.
I also love gardening and visiting garden centres.
I've missed visiting flower shows this year due to Covid.
I live in Wes Midlands not far away from Cannock.
Hope to hear from you , have a good day from Ann

Hi, just joined the group.I read your post and you wrote exactly how I am feeling coupled with the fact that colleges are also now on zoom which makes the situation quite lonely.

I feel your pain. I live in a small but normally lively little town. Now everything is shut down. I've gained weight since the lockdown. Got on YouTube and found some good yoga videos. It helps my mental outlook but hasn't really done much for my waist and hips. Input is still more than output. Eating healthier weighs heavy on my mind but I'm not there yet - a work in progress. Looking for a new craft to learn. Have a suggestion? I'd love to hear it.
Response from GingerA made on 12th Jan 2021 00:26:39
Oh my goodness, is this a U.K. chat site? Can someone from the U.S. join in? I do not care to talk about politics. Oh lord, what a mess we have here! At any rate, I'd love to hear about all things U.K.. I know there is sanity elsewhere in the world and would love to hear about it.

Hello Ginger ,I'm sure Sally (Owner of this site ) will tell you that it's not wall to wall Brits on here. . You are here ,So ,lets talk .conversation ,,meaning ,whatever comes into your head ,,write it down. I am a horse lover ,before anything else, closely followed by dogs ,Humans ,,,,,,somewhere on the end ,unless they have a sense of humour. The only way to get your hips under control is to try on the clothes that used to fit you ,that should work for starters.
Next ,,,is one you won't like , don't buy lots of food ,,and don't keep opening the fridge door .
clear out your cupboards of clothes you never wear, bag 'em up for the charity shop. ,all closed here at the moment , the weather is awful ,rain, tomorrow is supposedly going to snow ,,,,not too happy about that .my best pal MY CAR ,has to go for it;s M.O.T don't know if this is an English thing. , do you have to do it ? Fingers XXXX'd I live near to Chatsworth Park
Why don't you Google it ? I love to drive through ,and see the deer.

My cat is 20 weeks old and she has just been sterilised. The vet gave her the necessary jab, but didn`t mention a second jab.
Response from GingerA made on 15th Jan 2021 23:17:47 > @Ariadne
I did clean out the closet. I eat when I'm bored so I'm now looking at new hobbies and one that caught my eye is crafting scrap journals or junk journals. It looks like fun. I live in Tucumcari, New Mexico, and love this little town. The apartment where I live is on the outskirt of town so we get a lot of wild life passing through, mostly wild turkeys and coyotes. I love to hear the coyotes sing late at night. We have mountain lions (also called cougars) and brown bears. We have a wide assortment of owls and hawks. The one thing we really have to watch for are rattlesnakes. We have so many during the late spring and summer that the high school sports teams are called 'Tucumcari Rattlers'. In the fall we catch the migration of tarantulas. Scorpions are always an issue. I'm not too fond of spring, that's when tornados are likely to occur. Not sure what an MOT is but here in the states you have to take your car in for regular check ups and oil changes or it voids your warranty if it's a new car.

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
