I like the poem, Tony. It's poignant and must have come from the heart. I'm glad you're feeling somewhat better now, and even more glad that your family members are improving!
I'm looking forward to start "chatting" again. It snowed overnight and I actually got outside and shoveled a little, it felt great. Poems and ideas just pop into my head, this poem took me less than 5 minutes to write (record). I have an app that records my voice and is easy to use.
Seems that a bit of exercise does improve our mood. I wish it would snow here but we very seldom get any. I enjoy your poems; I hope you will continue to share them.
Email from Frank. He says to say hi to all and he is hanging in there but just doesn't feel like interacting on the forum. He says he appreciates all the concerns and does appreciate my checking on him. I was relieved as I was beginning to feel like an old busybody. It made my day that he is hanging in there and took time to send an email.
I don't rate forum members, even in my head, because everyone collectively makes the forum what it is, for better or for worse, but if I were to rate forum members, Frank would rank highly.
Geez oh pleaz, can't an old bony butt impose a self-banishment for an attitudinal adjustment? No word from Frank! Zippity nada!
About your siggy, my BIL used to say... if somebody asks how you are doing, just say fine. Half of them don't care and the other half are glad you finally got what was coming to you,
I have been having a dickens of a time getting onto SOC. I managed to reset my password today, then, I was told I didn't accept cookies, then I accepted ALL cookies and was told there was already someone on here with my name.... Maybe something is keeping others off?
