A big garage is always an asset, although temptation to fill it with stuff really does need to be resisted! ?:D Best Susan

Have been since last March down here in Aus. Make rare trips out. Once about every ten days to stock groceries and sort of out of hours times when we know there will be few people about. If we have to visit a shopping centre we restrict ourselves to 20 mins max.Basically we are keeping ourselves to ourselves….and of course its easy on acreage out of town.?

He's getting by as best as he can, at his house. It really did shock me when I saw how frail he was. I think the loss of my mother really did hit him hard. Well they were married for 5o years. What I didn't know was they were dating for 6 years before that

Dearest Jude & Peter, It's been really tough. I'm not sure what I am doing now. After seeing my father so frail, my depression has got really worse. He was really struggling I think he went really down hill, after we lost my mum John

All you can probably do is just be as supportive as you can, seeing that you actually need support yourself anyway. Best

Saw my father last night. It was not good. He was very frail. I don't know if I told you, but we have the same birthdate, 7th June 1928, 7th June 1968 I honestly don't what to do John

Re: A Cappella Group Recreates Classic iPhone Ringtones - MacRumors
Brilliant! I loved it.
I had a go at joining a men’s chorus about a year ago, called Shannon Express. I was a bass and it was very interesting how hard it was to remember your own line in the score. I enjoyed the experience, 6 sessions of several hours, culminating in a “concert”, but it was too much commitment for me to continue.
Then the pandemic started anyway . . .

Yes, I have a sister Chris. She sexually abused me when I was about 6. She's 6 years older than me, or was, now she's 49 & I'm 52

A Bluetooth one came with my 8-year-old iMac but for Boot Camp I keep a wired one plugged in, the one with the rainbow lighting effects. :)

We’ve just got rid of our last old one, connected to an old Mac Mini for a school near here. Kids are short of digital connection for schooling.
