The Drop in Centre

[rickproehl]

Excuse me Good Sirs and DiC

just wanted to stop in and tell everyone Good Morning. 

just got back from the Doc - dealing with old Demons. With some new meds and new Doc things are feeling better. 

This “new normal” is not helping. 

So how are things with you?

Have a good day and Stay Safe

Wow that was something .. didn't last long here, but wow, it was LOUD. Like cringe-worthy loud. And the lightening, amazing and it lasted a long while.. constant flashes. It was something to see last night.

ATM it is just raining ...

We just started our rainy season down here. I had to drive home the other night in a torrential down pour, the rain was blowing sideways. Yikes! I'm fine with rain, I just hope the hurricanes stay away!

We hope you'll pop in and chat a bit when you feel like it. There is usually someone around the place to talk with.

Thank you for the welcome, I love GA, it’s my refuge in NHS-enforced isolation. All the best, Jack.

Yep -- I'm not a people person but am finding that I'll be happy to be back in the office -- so will SP, who's used to larger screens and being able to print more things out. It's getting difficult to concentrate for the full work day and get stuff done [why I''m on here at lunch today].

Hope you get to feeling like your old normal soon.

Hello.  The new normal can be abnormal again, if we stay calm and keep other people informed.

Phil found out today that His management team is probably going to have them continue to "telework" thru the fall. His IT specialist is bringing His special monitors to the house on Friday.

Hello Kitt.  Age is a state of mind.    I was dreaming of some guy would cuddle me.  That would make me feel young again.  LOL

Nope. Age is a function of time. State of mind is what gets us through it.

I tried that this morning and it didn't work. 

I had the bejeezus scared out of me a little bit ago at work. My coworker and I  were on a conference call and heard about a dozen loud bangs. Sounded like gunfire, but turned out to be fireworks, so yup, no bejeezus left in me. Fireworks in daylight...just, why?🤔🤷‍♀️
