    We are all different but maybe find a common topic, like, "how to be old, and do it well" LOL!

    I didn't have anything in particular in mind. It's just something that's available at no extra cost so, while I anticipated there being a lot of people who wouldn't be interested, I thought there might be some who would like the opportunity to talk face-to-face, if only virtually.

    I'm not an expert on Zoom, although I expect I'll get better at it over time. I haven't learned to do any of the fancy stuff, like video, whiteboards, and so on, but these aren't things I'd expect to be using in our meetings anyhow, although I will work some of that into my Recovery meetings.

    I haven't thought it through but wanted to throw it out there to see what ideas you guys might come up with. We could make it as organized or unorganized as we like.

    During Covid restrictions, a whole lot of businesses and schools required masks during Zoom meetings, which puts a new face on following the science.

    We wouldn't need to have a large buy-in on the idea of a Zoom meeting so if a few of you want to do it, it could still be on.

    I heard from her earlier today. She's taking a time out. I told her to "git back here."

    Ok. Good to know. Will be doing the same in a bit with the busy season coming up.

    There doesn't seem to be a lot of interest, so...

    I am not sure all of us returned yet. Might take some time. We realized we were not addicted anymore? But the forum will be missed and checked out again, I think.
    I am not for zoom so much because I would not be allowed in my underwear. And what else would I talk about that I don't already.:rolleyes:
