Hi Lewkat. I like it here already.

Welcome from Virginia!

Thank you, Jeweltea. We lived in Norfolk for three years in the 60s. And we weren't with the Navy which is what most people ask.

Thanks, MovieQueen. I'm originally from NY (Long Island) but Buffalo was a long way off. Your winters were a lot worse than ours.

Welcome from a fellow Georgian (southeast)!

Hi Cinnamon Sugar. Somehow I have made a mess of my replies. But I love the photo. Spring wont come soon enough.

Hi @Alizerine, my condolences for your loss.

Thank you SeaBreeze. The blue flowers are lovely.

Sometimes in our youth we reinvent ourselves to accomplish a new and exciting goal. It might be a new job or a move to another state. Today we all have challenges put upon us by the pandemic and by political decisions. No more hanging out with family and friends. We don't want to wander off too far for fear of having to use a public bathroom.

I am trying to find a new me who is able to not only cope with but to thrive in this new world. I am reaching out to find others who are managing to find some sort of solace and even joy in the present. I enjoy watercolor painting, wordplay, crossword puzzles, inspirational stories, cats and other animals. I look forward to meeting you.

Welcome, Alizerine and my condolences also on the loss of your son, I'm so sorry. I hear ya about the fear of having to use a bathroom nowadays; I had where the nearest bathroom was for all the places I go memorized and now most are closed due to Covid, sigh.

 

[Alizerine]

Welcome and congratulations on moving forward at this time in your life!

Thanks, Jon. I sometimes miss New England. Lots of good memories.

I wish I could find a new me, I’ve just about worn the old me out .

Welcome to the forum

LOL and reminds me of a quote from a movie (I think it was The Cockeyed Cowboys of Calico County), "I'm not much, but I'm about all I can scrape together."

Thanks Aunt Marg. I once had an Aunt Marg but that's another story.

British Columbia does look beautiful. I've been to Montreal and Niagara Falls but that's about my experience with Canada. Your comedians are good.

I would love to hear about your Aunt Marg, Ali.

If ever you hanker for another trip to Canada, look at visiting the West Coast, you won't regret it.

Welcome Alizerine.

Having had long conversations with myself, we simply can't agree as to who I should become, so I guess I just have to live with myself as I am...

...at least you know you're not alone, and that we're all in the same boat....

Thank you, Hollydolly, for the welcome and the comment.
So nice to meet someone from London. I once had an English boyfriend and really enjoyed the differences and similarities in our culture. Long time ago. I remember learning to solve the puzzles in the Manchester Guardian and today I read the Guardian on my smart phone.

Hi Tony. I'm sure you are good just the way you are.

A very warm welcome to you from SW Pa. and so very sorry for your loss. If you like games, there is a forum just for games. That is where I spend most of my time but let me warn you it can be very addictive.
