I miss the simplicity, although I do appreciate the way some of these things do make our lives easier. I get the impression they feel more sorry for us though. I am amazed at how fast the younger people can grasp the things I can’t, I’ll admit that. The younger people won’t know what to do and I fear we won’t remember what to do Nothing at all! As you know I love to write, but I’m a little old fashioned when it comes to how I do it though. I have to use pen and paper. I can’t type my thoughts until later when I’m all finished. I have to write it out first. I hope all is well? Hopefully you and everyone else in the UK is safe!! Did you at least get a day off for the storm? Oh yes, our natural disasters come complete with names as well. I’m just not very good at remembering the names though for some reason. Maybe that’s because we get so many storms here and it gets a little confusing after awhile. I tend to prefer the simple named storms though. I’m not really a fan of the long named ones. My biggest fear in life is dying in a storm that I can’t even pronounce. Well I hope this storm is not that bad for you. Hopefully you don’t lose power or anything like that. We deal with that here quite often this time of the year. I love reading everyone’s different opinions. We can’t all agree on everything. I try to see all sides of an argument, and whether I agree or not I do listen, and I value everyone’s opinion. Many times I’ve noticed someone quoting my post and perhaps disagreeing but that’s fine. Maybe they’ll make a valid point that might make me look at things differently. I try to stay open minded and all I ask for is the same. I was the same way. I was a bit of a hot head in my younger days but I grew up eventually. When I realized people didn’t want to deal with me anymore I figured it was time to mature. Please forgive me cause I know it had to be extremely annoying and even downright scary to keep getting hassled but this really made me laugh! I can relate though. Being good natured can lead to problems but I just can’t be the other way. It went so fast! I don’t know where it went to be honest. It’s a job I took part time in my early 20s not expecting to stay very long. Luckily I had family that talked me into staying there. Glad I listened. Loyalty is underrated and under appreciated, especially nowadays. Thank you for saying this! I’m assuming I won’t be there another 25 years so I figure I’m not the future of the company at this point. I guess the least I can do is try to turn it over to the youngsters at some point and help them get ready for that day. (But in the meantime I’ll keep running circles around people half my age cause I do kind of enjoy it) So do I. The Dynasty threads are also very entertaining but it’s been so long since I’ve watched an episode that I’m a little rusty to discuss that one. Were you a Dynasty fan? I loved it when I was a teenager. I used to like all the glitz and glamour. Apparently I have too, but that’s what this thread is all about! We go on and on and on and on and no one knows what we’re really talking about except for us. You too my friend, and stay safe!</blockquote>
