Hi, so tell me about the mountain life. I am new on the site and interested in talking to others,
Response from Safariman made on 7th Nov 2021 13:41:24 > @Jenna123
Hi Jenna123, just read your post on this site, I also love chatting to
others, it is always interesting to hear what other people have been
up to and where they are from, I notice your reply to the mountain
man from the Yukon, are you also from the states or from the UK?
I live in Southampton, so no mountains here but have been up both
Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in my younger days,
Hope that you find lots of people to chat with, sometimes it takes a
while for folk to respond, so dont give up hope, am here if you want
to talk,in the meantime,take care and stay safe, best wishes, Terry.

Hi Terry, I am from the UK. Yorkshire lass. Lots of green space around where I live although live in a City. Your Mountain escapades sound thrilling. I have never done anything like that. I like Theatre and walking, love being outside. I also like to get involved in Community activity. Since Lockdown I have been wanting to live a fuller life. I love talking to People. I find it very interesting. I always try to stay positive. Yes keep chatting, I will always reply at some time or another.
Response from Safariman made on 7th Nov 2021 17:05:52 > @Jenna123
Hi Jenna, thank you for your reply to my earlier post, as you say it is
nice to have a chat with people from all walks of life. Yes it was great
traveling through Africa, but I have a confession to make I did not
get to the top of Kilimanjaro as the altitude got to me and had to
stop of at one of the base camps. I expect that you have some nice
places to go for walks, I have only been to Yorkshire once, a long
time ago whilst in the Army I was stationed in Catterick for a while.
Not quite the same is it? I love to travel and have been lucky enough
to have been to many countries, most of them in Africa, I love the
wildlife and the different scenary in each new Country. Have you
done any traveling yourself? or do you like to stay local. Well it is
time to get some dinner on, luckily I live on my own so only have
to cook for one. Thank you once again for your reply, and hope that
we can chat again, until then, take care and stay safe, best wishes,
Terry.

Hi Terry,
hope you enjoyed your dinner. I am ready for my "night out" now just waiting for a lift. I have only travelled to popular holiday destinations, no where far flung or daring. I do like holidays but love my own Country too. It sounds like you have many a tale to tell. Kilimamanjaro escapades for example!
It sounds like you have done many things seen many a sight. That's brilliant. Would love to chat again.
Jenna.

Hi Jenna,yes enjoyed my dinner, pasta with chicken in white sauce
and chopped tomatoes all out of tins except the pasta,am not a great cook but I get by. Hope that you enjoy your night out,I don't go
out much in the evenings now,I have only been here for 7 months so
don't know many people. I live in a one bedroom flat in a retirement
building with 32 flats in it, but I don't see many other residents from
day to day, I am single and have no children, but I do have 4 sisters
and 3 brothers that live not too far away. Well once again have a great night out, look forward to hearing all about it, will talk more
about my travels, but don't want to bore you at this early stage haha
So cheerio for now, Terry.
Response from Jenna123 made on 8th Nov 2021 09:09:31 > @Safariman
Good Morning Terry
Your dinner sounds perfect. Its a pity your flats don't do a Community meet up'to get people together. Maybe you should arrange one!
You have a big family then, that must be good if you all get on!
The night out was good with 2 friends. It was a bit raucous as lots of women there. We did have good seats though. I wore my mask, erring on the side of caution.
Off to work now. I work from home mostly, which is what I am doing today.
Talk Later
Jenna
Response from Safariman made on 8th Nov 2021 10:01:15 > @Jenna123
Morning Jenna, so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your night out,
sounds a bit like a hen night haha. I always wear a face mask when
I use the bus to go into town,and when I go into the shops, we have
a lot of Chinese students that live in accommodation close to here
and they wear masks all the time when they go out.I have had my two vaccinations but am waiting for my booster jab later this month.We do have a lovely lounge here and have tried to get people to come to bingo,darts or fish and chip nights but the response has not been great, I think that a lot of them are still worried about mixing with others a this time. What sort of work do you do? I have
been retired for the last 8 years so am a lot older than you I was
working in London in property management for the last 12years
before I retired. You never know the age of people who use this site
unless they mention it when they join. Well had better not keep you
from your work, so will finish off for now, have to do a bit of food
shopping this morning and luckily the weather looks bright and
sunny with a drop in the wind. So if you get time,it would be nice
to hear from you again, until then, take care, Terry.
Response from Jenna123 made on 8th Nov 2021 13:38:15 > @Safariman
Hi Terry,
Just a catch up during my lunch. Yes its a lovely bright day today. I am going to hang some washing out in a bit.
Yes maybe folk are still worried about meeting up indoors. That's the problem with colder months, limited towhat you can do outdoors. I do voluntary Litter Picking and meet others in the outdoors. We also have quite a lot of health walks etc near me.
I am in my 50s so still working. When I started work in my late teens early 20s I thought 50s was ancient! I started in the local Council and most people retired at 55. Im 52 so still "young" as we all are!!
I work for a local charity and work in admin.
My booster will be due as well, talking of the jabs..I need to look into it. I usually am 1 step ahead and book before they contact me.
Have a good afternoon.
Jenna
Response from Safariman made on 8th Nov 2021 16:03:03 > @Jenna123
Hi Jenna, thanks for the lunchtime catch up, have done my shopping
and had some cream of chicken soup for my lunch. I am 21 years
older than you but still fit and healthy at the moment and am looking
forward to next year when I can start to go on my travels again, it will
off to Cape Town again I expect in March or April. You seem to have a
nice social life and have friends to have nights out with.My pleasure
is in my traveling so when I get to my destination I enjoy a more
social life than I do here in Southampton. I have got my laundry in the washing machine, we are lucky as we have two washing machines and two tumble driers that are free to use so I get in as
soon as there is one free. Well had better go and see how it is getting on, so will finish off for now, enjoy your evening,and am here
if you still want to chat. Take care, Terry.

Hi Terry,
happy to chat so opened a "chat".
Response from Niceblokie made on 24th Jan 2022 13:22:47 > @Jenna123
Hi Jenna. I walk too, every day, I love it. Not massive distances, more like bitesize walks, always in the woods, so refreshing. Enjoy music weekends too.
Response from Jenna123 made on 24th Jan 2022 22:52:46 > @Niceblokie
Hi,
I walk as I love nature. I am still working so have to fit it in around that.
I also like the woods, trees, taking photos, never done a music concert weekend , but have done camping. But agree with one of your other comments that instaed of getting older "we are getting younger".

I am 77 and would love to chat as well. I am in Western Canada.
Keep busy trying to keep a house and gardens looking respectable and have two little mutts that love walking on different trails in the bush every day with me.
I love typing and miss working.
Our bodies keep reminding us of our age but our brains refuse to believe it.
Would very much like pen pals. Any takers?

Hi. My name is Peggy. I am 68. I also have little dogs.. four of them. My body is definitely feeling it's age but I still try to get to the trails that I like the best. I still do some gardening and I love my flower beds however they could probably be much tidier toward the middle of summer.
Response from siackma7gmailcom made 1 days ago > @Sandy103
Hi Sandy. I am Peggy. 68 years old. I've always wanted to actually see Scotland in person. That will never happen now but that's okay. So I've never done this kind of stuff like chatting before but what's new how are things Etc.

Hi Mandy, I live in Dudley West Midlands. Surrey a lovely place to live. So sorry to hear that you suffer from osteoarthritis that's very painful. Do you find it hard to get about. I love dogs but still being at work it would be left all day and that would not be fair to the dog. I have a tortoise it was my mom's but when she couldn't get about she asked me to look after him.
I hope yo hear from you soon
Take care xx

The Government of Canada has just announced that they plan on phasing out gas powered cars and trucks by 2035.
Dealers have to sell 34% electric vehicles by 2028
43% by 2029 and 60% by 2o3o
I"m wondering if any other country is doing this?

I'm also wondering how everyone will be able to afford these electric vehicles.
I personally don't know anyone who can afford electric cars right now.
The average working Joe hasn't inherited money from thier parents like most politicians. have.

Anyone care to comment on this issue?
Response from Mandy18h made on 31st Dec 2023 10:51:22
Hi , Thank you for your message, I dont drive , but most people are driving Electric cars, which are more expensive & if you go on a long journey you need to plan ahead to make sure that charging points are available. Also in big citys now they fine you money if you have a car that is greedy on fuel ULEZ & there are cameras all over the place, We are all being watched & its horrible .
Response from Leslie2 made on 31st Dec 2023 17:48:54 > @Mandy18h
Thanks for your reply Mandy
I was beginning to wonder if anyone was interested.
I thought I would try to stimulate a bit of chat.
Where are you that most drive Electric vehicles. Here in Canada there are not that many as they are very expensive and our country is so vast that we have hundreds of miles between towns so we would be very apprehensive about traveling.
The town that I am in is about 70 miles from Vancouver. Many drive that much everyday to and from work and charging stations are few and far between,.

With the cost of housing these days most here are really struggling to get by.
I'm sure it would be very difficult for them to make high car payments as well but I guess that's the way the world is going. I think things are going to get very difficult to say the least.

I'm new to this site and am surprised that there is no chat other than everyone saying they would like to chat
