Saw the cutest meme on Facebook - a person had tried the free 2021 trial and wished to cancel their
subscription. That was right after the assault on D.C.. I love hearing Biden speak. It's such a comfort after the lunacy we've had the past four years. Stay tuned to the news on the twentieth. The FBI has issued warning that several assaults are being planned on state capitol buildings by the radical right wing to start a race war on inauguration day.

radical right is the politest way I have heard them described. I applaud your restraint but still think of them as rabid myself

Hahahaha!!! I can be nice right now but all hell is going to break loose on the 20th. Trump left some legacy - civil war.

Never mind about asking if this was a U.K. site. I see that it's not.

I'm in West Coast of USA and would be interested in chatting with those interested in sailing.At one time I belonged to the Old Gaffers Assoc. Really enjoyed learning about the old type sailboats still being used in Great Britain. Mine is 40 foot, steel double ender designed by Tom Colvin. Thank you.

Perhaps Hilary Clinton`s worried many Democrats and they voted for Trump.

Yes, I think you are right, there is going to be more trouble with Trump`s army. At risk of sounding spiteful, isn`t it wonderful that the PGA are turning their back on him.

Biden, like Johnson, has got the massive coronavirus quandary to deal with. The balance between the economy and the safety of the people.

Our right-wing prime minister is being forced to act like a socialist because the land slide of socialist seats is obliging him to think about keeping them.

Anyhow, we wish America a welcome back to democracy.

Hi! So sorry to hear about your dog. That's a hard thing, losing such a good friend. I have a senior cat and she's my best friend. I'm originally from Texas but have lived in New Mexico the past three years. I work at a friend's farm gardening and tending livestock during the spring, summer, and early fall. Love making goat cheese. I love hiking, fishing, gardening, crafting, and cooking. I'm looking for a new craft. There are so many to choose from. Do you have a favorite?

Response from Catlover59 made on 28th Dec 2020 19:21:25
Hi Craig
Sorry to hear of your loss.
These are very tough times at the moment and I think lots of people are feeling lonely and isolated; even though I spend time with my family I still feel lonely and isolated at times.
Would be nice to hear from you.

Hi KnS, I am a 69 year old widow and am up for a chat today. I will log off now and hope to get a notification but will come back on in ten mins.

I was wondering what people were doing with lockdown loneliness?

Hi Reevej
I am a lady in my sixties, also enjoying the opportunities which the internet gives us. I have learnt a lot about literature I think! ) and have currently joined an internet choir. I found it touching to know that people thousands of miles away are literally singing from the same song sheet !

I would like to find people in a similiar situation especially in view of this lockdown, where in my view one can also hear the silence !
Feel free to be in touch, if you would like to.

All the best

I joined the site a while ago but haven't been on for a while. I'm still trying to find my way around . I'm Jen, 70 from the North East, retired and not finding lockdown too difficult. I've been taking advantage of the internet, language courses, exercise classes, virtual tours and lots of reading. It would be nice to people in similar situation.

Hi Paul,
I know what you mean. I was talking with my nephew yesterday about the effects of covid long term on people's psyche and I realised that I spend a lot more time having conversations with myself than with other people and definitely don't feel as articulate as before. Words do not come as easily and as for names, I don't try to remember anymore so a conversation can be a bit like playing charades.
However , I feel really fortunate that my life hasn't been turned upside down and that life is still good.
How are things with you?
Jen
