Anyone out there?

[Openmindedmom]

I have not had much luck finding genuine conversation with people here or on other sites.  Curious if anyone has recommendations for sites to try?

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!

Chatting has gone quiet. At my age and getting off my myself I look forward to chats. Seems most everyone goes quiet this time of the year. I do like finding where people are at, what does it for them, etc. Chatting on here is an anonymous way to get things off our chests, share ideas we wouldn't talk about in public. Holidays were a challenge.

Yeah I suppose this time of year is trickier for most.  Guests just left this morning so I am getting my house back in order, cleaners are coming tomorrow for a deep clean, I shouldn't be excited about that but I am lol

it's been a tough one. Spent Christmas day with a couple we've known for forever. She has serious health probs, diabetes, overweight. Didn't go well. She had a fall. Bit of drama getting her up. It's such an over indulgent time and my wife puts a lot of effort and money into everything. Now we have the aftermath, the overrun in freezer and fridge and cupboards to use up. Happens every year.

Aww that is so sad, I hope she is doing better

And I hear you with the fridge and freezer, I went through this morning and did a clean out of my fridge to get rid of the last of the leftovers

What do you want to talk about?

[Openmindedmom]

Anything really, life, desires, fantasies, regrets, you name it

Anything really, life, desires, fantasies, regrets, you name it

A year ago I was recovering from an emotional breakdown that landed me in the mental ward for a week, the culmination of my downfall at work, the breakup of a relationship, the lockdown of the pandemic, and the breakup of another relationship (the immediate cause of my flip out.)

I had to pull myself together and soldier on.

I've gone over my list and calendar several times and still can't figure out how, in 2024, I did 25 solo readings/performances, 26 shows with my musician friends, and 8 group readings. That's 59 in all and I still feel like I didn't do anything. Also wrote over 100 poems. And still feel like I didn't write anything. I also turned 70 years old last September and started a new relationship last month. Maybe that's a sign of recovery.

Members MUST realize we are All like pen-pals here, we post a message and reply back as soon as possible.

The more posts we make the more we get back, leave a comment, whatever.

THE LIFE BLOOD OF THIS HOTEL IS POSTS AND REPLY'S

(without that I might as well close the doors)

Things WILL get better after a few weeks into the new year.

Happy 70th! And that sounds like quite a year you experienced.  My heart goes out to you and think about how much stronger you are now having experienced that.  We learn the most about ourselves through difficult times, I often have to remind myself of that!

There are still a few of us around who grew up writing "letters" and reading "books."
