Just JoinedHello from NY State. I'm 55, severe me/cfs, mostly isolating...it's tough...with my cat. There are still virtual meetups on meetup.com if that's of interest. You need to do some digging to see what might fit.ViewDate:

Looking for a cruise buddyI'm honestly wondering if going on a cruise in the next year would be safe enough for you? There are still outbreaks happening (more recently a lot of norovirus). I wish you could get your money refunded somehow. I wonder if a doctor's letter to the cruise company would help? I realize this isn't the response you're looking for, but I personally think it's a health risk to cruise. All the best to you.ViewDate:

Is sleeping in separate beds the beginning of the end?I don't have a partner, not married. But, what I can say that my parents slept in separate rooms ever since I can remember! My father snored and my mom was a light sleeper at the time. I think it's not that unusual, and I think 2 friends of mine in their 60's sleep separately from their husbands. Both women have issues with sleep disturbances.ViewDate:

Will you watch the Sussexes' Oprah interview?I'm American, and honestly I don't know what to make of monarchies these days. It seems like tradition for tradition's sake for the most part. Of course this tradition makes the UK (and other countries - albeit with less famous monarchies) unique. For me personally I feel like monarchy is a very inflated institution, which at this point in history seems to exist merely for headlines and pomp and circumstance. I know this is a UK site and someone reading this will be very upset with me. I do feel like it's all a bit of a circus. If the Royal Family didn't want to be under the international spotlight & minute scrutiny, then they would take steps to behave like normal citizens behave. There is royalty in other countries, but "The "RF"" get all the attention. So, no matter what anyone in "The RF" decides to do the media will be all over them. It's a lose-lose scenario. Unless RF and citizens in UK sincerely stop hyping up 1 particular family who happen to be born into a blood line...well, I'll stop here. Basically anything and everything they do will be news. So, this particular couple will make news no matter what they decide, when the decide it, etc. Many couples have to make hard decisions regarding in-laws and families. Just seems like this is one of those times with, with the added bonus that "The RF" will get even more attention and networks will get lots and lots more money. Sorry, I'm not a Brit, I see this from a purely pragmatic perspective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_monarchiesViewDate:

Should glitter be banned on Christmas cards?Microplastics are truly a problem, so any small measure that can be taken is helpful. While I understand that this seems like a minor thing at the moment, I support the world moving forward where and when it can environmentally. On a personal level, I feel frustrated by my own plastics-dependence...so if retailers (I'm in the US, so we'll probably have glitter for years to come) in the UK want to take this small step towards environmental stewardship, why not? If not for us, then for the generations to follow...and wildlife who can barely compete with humankind's pollution.ViewDate:

5 of the best sleep meditations on YouTubeMichael Sealey's sleep hypnosis are often my go-to's. He's been doing them for years, and has many followers. I sometimes use other ones, but usually I use Michael Sealey's channel.ViewDate:

Big Sky by Kate AtkinsonI've been listening to Big Sky via audiobook, and it's really great so far. (Not done yet). I've listened to a few of Kate Atkinson's books before and really got drawn in. (I saw your post a few weeks ago when I first joined Silver Surfers...and was just looking around the website, and I was happy to see that she had another book out!)ViewDate:

bernie55 showcase imageThese are so fun and funny! Do you know how to watermark your photos so that you retain the image rights? Because, you could make whimsical greeting cards out of your pictures and maybe sell them on etsy... or just send them to people for fun! :-)ViewDate:

Deanna showcase imageSo many contrasts in this: brilliant blue sky, serious dark clouds, historic building, bright red phone and mail box. Bright red mail box on historic wall. Where is this?
