Ice and cold are dangerous You must carefully plan outdoor trips or you may become a statistic.
Food and etc. must be stock piled ahead of time. Much of business such as bus, groceries close during storms. Many highways are prone to closing.

Hi,
I am new and looking for chat, ideally voice perhaps via skype with other polymaths, intellectuals, free thinkers who like listening and commenting on Colbert and Johnathan Pie.
Who aren't afraid to speak their mind.

We'd like to joke around , appreciate satire and wonder what may be new in medical and science research.

Hi folks ( if anyone is there) I am an 84 year old widow (of many years) and thankfully say I have all my marbles! I am part of a small but close family who keep in touch by What’s App for news and pics but I live alone so do miss a chat.I’m an avid tv watcher of documentaries ranging from crime to cooking and farming to family life but no soaps or silliness.If you have any free time drop me a line or two please.
Response from Beany made on 5th Nov 2022 20:13:31
Hello Terry happy bonfire night.Thanks for your reply and good wishes.My sister and her husband live in a place such as you describe and she LOVES it, him not so much but obviously it is each to their own and honestly It would not suit me.I would not like joining in with lots of folk for bingo,film night,quizz night etc etc I am extremely happy here in the house I love and have the freedom to do as I please when I please.Now I feel you will have totally the wrong impression of me so I will close now and if you want to keep in touch I hope in time you will learn more about “ the real me” Cheers

Hi Beany, Terry,
Hope I can join in the chat. I too, am 60 feeling 40. Live with my elderly aunt she is 87 but great and so funny. Problem is pretty much housebound, although not physically.. I love crime series on Netflix, and real crime documentaries and dare I say it law & order special victims I hope I can join in your chat x
Response from Beany made on 7th Dec 2022 09:58:10 > @AJDallas
Hello I’m Beany otherwise Jean I responded to your message a few hours ago then lost what I had written so I’ll try again.I am always ready to chat but must tell you I am a lot nearer your Aunts age than to yours.like you I feel I am housebound but it is through choice as I have a history of hurling myself to the ground at regular intervals ( seven) over the years,fortunately never doing any damage either to myself or the hard surfaces I hit( other of course to my pride) When lockdown came along coinciding with me recovering from a cancer operation I felt safer staying indoors so I now only venture outside on the arm of a younger fit relative..If you feel you would like to chat any time do p lease get in touch and we can say how we go eh? Have a good day.

Hello all lovely sunshine but very frosty.We are in Britain so what else can we expect? Let’s be happy and be thankful for what we’ve got.Wrap up and keep warm and most of all smile.I’ll bet we all have lots of lovely memories.Have a good day

Hi Beany,
Don’t know how to work this site so I’m sorry if you don’t hear from me. I understand completely. Life is short as we get older, but we are still here! My aunt was so active, had a fall fractured her hip, then Covid hit us. My aunt does go out twice a week, but we are talking about a lady who walked two to three miles daily. However, we do laugh, have a cheeky wine and are thankful for family although not near. Happy to chat xx

Hi Terry,
So sorry I thought you were a real estate agent I live on the Gower very near Swansea, and too have travelled. Many parts USA, lived in Turin, Italy, Amsterdam, Holland but not in the red light district Freezing. here, how about you? Tell me more of you travel experiences, if you have time. X
Response from NEIGHSandWAYS made on 19th Dec 2022 00:53:19 > @Beany
Hi Beany, I wanted to send you a direct/private message, but as a new person to this forum, I don't have that privilege yet. Anyway, I saw that you mentioned watching true crime documentaries, and you & I have this in common. I mostly watch half-hour to hour true crime shows & listen to podcasts, as opposed to watching documentaries, however, I would watch these longer, more in-depth shows if I had someone to comment & discuss with. If you want to, name 2 or 3 docs that you have seen lately and thought were interesting to chat about and let me know what they are, and I will watch them (if I can on the TV services that I have). Then we can discuss. So you know who you are talking with-- I am F 60, living in the middle of the US, with animals friends. hope to hear from you, regards, sherri

Hi Terry, just seen your comments, my dad served in the airforce in Rhodesia, Africa in 1939 and they used to go swimming near the Victoria Falls. He took loads of pics, I loved looking at them, he was offered a job as engineer in a gold mine, but my mum wouldn’t go, she was expecting my elder sister, maybe I would have been born there.

Me too. Just looking for people in my age bracket that want to talk.
Response from Geoff J made on 24th Aug 2021 04:27:43
Hello Karen, I am new here, and still very much trying to find my way around, I too am looking for people who want to talk, I work day time hours, but am about in the evenings. I live in a rural area, I also work in the countryside, I have not been to town for a couple if years or more!
With covid about, and being clinicaly vulnerable it has proven prudent so far.
I am a tree climber, which is perhaps not so prudent at over 60 years old, I contract climb for wildlife and woodland trusts, and in willow harvesting occasionally, for cricket bat production.
Response from KarenFarmGirl made on 24th Aug 2021 14:02:34 > @Geoff J
I am 58 and a farmer since I married at 21 yrs. we have just stopped milking and I have found that 80 hours a week left me with little to no friendships. We have a lot of people we knew but no real close relationships. Unlike you we get to town once a week. My father worked for Hydro and was a tree climber. That is a dangerous job. Congrats for doing it for so long.

Hi KFG, I tried to message you privately, but I am new to this site and so the system won't let me do that until I have two posted comments (apparently). Anyway, I am 60 yo, in the midwest USA, in the woods with some farm animals. What animals do you have at your place ? I hope you will message me if you want to respond, to start a private thread with me. sherri

Hi AJ
I'm fairly new and trying my best to put myself out there and be more sociable (even if it is only online). Happy to chat. Not online very often but try to check in at least once a day.
Response from AJDallas made on 11th Dec 2022 23:12:40
Hi sorry but who is Llowdell?
Got to be Welsh with double L
Happy to chat so long as no squeezes and hugs are implied like your neighbour scrilleizard. I live very near the Gower, hate our weather, love my family and Netflix What about you?
Response from LLowdell made on 12th Dec 2022 07:31:57 > @AJDallas
Welsh...that's a first. I wanted Coffee Lover but that name was long gone. Went with the name I live by everyday so at least I couldn't forget who the heck I am on here.
Hi AJ. Live in South Yorkshire and I'm fairly new to the site. Female, 58 and heck, I am a hugger but I know my boundaries so I'll just raise my hand and wave hello. Who the heck is Scrilleizard? I've obviously missed something.

Weather is a nightmare at the moment. My family is my everything and Netflix is probably my best friend. Ha

Response from AJDallas made on 15th Dec 2022 13:51:35
Well Llowdell,
Meant scrollwizard oh and no disrespect to scrollwizard need to go to Specsavers! Going to family for Christmas, my daughter & son plus their partners. Really looking forward to Christmas. Netflix: Started watching Korean series with subtitles, sad but true. They are just so respectful lovely to watch. Love Motherland, I’m Julia Love law & Order Special Victims. What are you up to for Christmas? Also sorry you may be from Yorkshire but that is definitely a Welsh name. Not that I’m Welsh, live near the Gower now due to family, but born in Rugby
Response from AJDallas made on 15th Dec 2022 13:58:58
Apologies scrollwizard,
Sincerely I mis-read the messages. It was Sunshinekurlz sending you hugs and kisses, I was a bit affronted thought it was you sending them. Once again sincere apologies and from South Wales to North Wales best wishes.

I'm looking for people to chat with too. I'm in the South West.. Hi there
How long have you been moved and what do you like about where you live
Response from LLowdell made on 13th Dec 2022 08:11:28
Hi Sunshinekurlz. I'm fairly new to this site and enjoy the virtual chat feature on this site. I find it easier to navigate and I can find my messages easier. I've just started a new chat for myself and another member. I could set up a chat for us or can add you to the chat I've just started with another lady on this site? Get back to me and let me know. I just find these forum threads get so long and I find it confusing to keep up with. I'm in South Yorkshire.
Response from Sunshinekurlz made on 13th Dec 2022 11:00:05 > @LLowdell
That's a jolly good idea. I'm happy with whatever you suggest.

I carry a few more years - but I'm trying to lose them - If I were to say I was looking forward to Monday morning and Slimming World meet - you'd know exactly what I mean. The two years of lock-down really got to me. And now the latest news about Lizzy - well, that's got me too. I live alone and the only two who I get to nag is the dog and cat. (Or do they nag me?) I don't mind cooking although it's a bit of a chore for one. I live quite near the sea in Somerset UK - can be high winds and traffic jams. Trying to get out of town Friday afternoons or Sunday lunchtime is a nightmare. It's very daunting when your new to a place, but you will make friends in time. I admit that I do suffer with 'can't be bothered' it's all an effort, but as I said I blame that on the lock-down too. Love to hear how you're doing. All the best S
