Yep-the Internet is a lifeline.There are a couple of folk I chat to most days.Plus my numerous word game apps.But I’d rather be out supporting my rugby club,attending concerts-fingers crossed for next September and November-and come Spring watching my cricket club.@Furryanimal I hope that posting on this forum, and other forums, takes away some of the feelings of isolation for you. It isn't easy keeping active, especially if one lives alone.
All the best to you - Hugs
There is some live rugby on you tube...depends what you want watch...England rugby has the Womens Premier 15s on most Saturdays,World Rugby has the sevens circuit (not at the moment-Covid),there are Super Rugby and international highlights.The various rugby countries have YouTube channels.Hugs from me too, Furryanimal. The internet is kind of a lifeline for me too; post here whenever you feel the need.
Also, can you recommend a good web site to watch rugby on, maybe YouTube?
Wow, thanks, Furryanimal! It's fun to watch, isn't it? Seems like they do as much as U.S. "footballers" but only without the helmets and padding, wow they're tough!There is some live rugby on you tube...depends what you want watch...England rugby has the Womens Premier 15s on most Saturdays,World Rugby has the sevens circuit (not at the moment-Covid),there are Super Rugby and international highlights.The various rugby countries have YouTube channels.
But most is stuck behind various countries paywalls but using a VPN can get you the six nations (France2/3).Ustvgo.tv has some rugby...on NBCsports.
But depending on where you are(and you’ll have check the situation with the USA) a subscription to rugbypass.com
could be good.
And I’ve seen US major league rugby on you tube.
This was on last Saturday
Sky sports next(NZ) and sky sports UK sometimes have live rugby broadcast free on you tube
Just root around you can unearth some gems!
these are today dec 19th
and when things become more normal there is live streaming of University and schools rugby in the UK.BUCS super rugby (University) is of a high standard.
You're a woman with vision, I like that. The movie was released 2/4/2022. I was wondering why I've been hearing so much lately about the moon colliding with the Earth. Now I know! I haven't read the book nor seen the movie but when I searched on here for related news, your 2020 post was what I saw. Bravo, well played!Have you tried any of Jack McDevitt's SF? If you like Asimov, I think you would like McDevitt, espec. his novel Moonfall, soo good, they oughta make a movie of it!
Thanks. You know, I'm not sure if the movie is based on McDevitt's book or not; the little bit of the movie I've seen in the trailer, it looks pretty different from the book. And the imdb.com listing for it doesn't say "based on a book by Jack McDevitt" but I don't know if imdb says that all the time anyway. Even if it's not based on the book, the movie still looks worth seeing so I'm there.You're a woman with vision, I like that. The movie was released 2/4/2022.

I am 72, and up until 5 months ago was working part time, doing grocery shopping, having my grandson spend the night, going to the movies, seeing my son and his family, having pedicures and manicures regularly. Now............I stay home, have my groceries delivered to my porch, no contact, if I see my children or grandchildren it is outside and far apart. I even had my medications sent by mail now. I am in solitary confinement! I read romance novels, total fantasy, or watch tv. I talk on the phone with a couple of friends and my son, but human contact that is about it. I have only been to the grocery store 5 times in 5 months. I had to get a ct scan, and I have canceled dentist appointments, eye doctor appointments etc. I have had virtual doctor appointments, but, I am going to have to go get a blood test for a medication that I take and I am uncomfortable about it. How are you all coping with this isolation?-- e man....empjasis on strange-
