What's happening to our marvelous group?
Permalink  
 


 

We see fewer and fewer posts, and

our numbers keep dwindling.  And what

happened to our former posters?  Are

we so in agreement on all issues that

we don't give our opinions?

 

I know that a few of us have major

family/health issues, and I love that

we offer our prayers to each other, but

we used to have so much fun with

each other.  How do we increase our

numbers?

For me, it's 3 things. One, I don't have as much free time as I used to. My mom's been in and out of the hospital and nursing homes since October 2021. My dad has one foot in the not-gonna-drive camp and the other in the still driving camp. DS' school schedule has me out of the house 5 days per week. He's on summer break now though so at least that's off my plate for the next 7 weeks.

Secondly, while I do enjoy posting with everyone, I'm not "into" message boards much anymore. I'm on FB but don't post as much as I used to there either. I don't know what happened or when but I guess somewhere amidst the chaos of life, I've lost the desire to post anything. Most of what I post on FB is missing people or missing pets. Sometimes, I'll post something funny that DS said or did. I also don't use message boards on my phone.

Third, I don't know what to post. I don't have a life. If I'm not chauffeuring someone somewhere, I'm watching TV or browsing FB. I doubt anyone wants to read "watching Raven's Home" or whatever. I don't have much going on that isn't mundane day-to-day stuff. Buying a new vehicle (which I did post about) was the highlight of the year so far and that's old news now. Pretty sure I posted that I got a mouse for my birthday. That was the only other highlight so far of 2022.

I do think about the geeks though. I hope everyone is doing well.

I'm going through some horrible things since 2020. And it just gets worse. Today my son ran away from the residential facility where he has been. They caught up to him, and threatened hospitalization, but who knows where his destiny lies. It's wearing me out and I have no energy to post. My other son is graduating from 8th grade and that's great, but I was supposed to have two graduating. I don't know whether #1 will. I don't know from one day to the other whether he will be alive.

That seems to be my main focus, although I do enjoy hearing how everyone else is doing.

I've been so busy lately, some days I never get on the computer at all.

I will try to do better!

I miss the way our board used to be. So many old posters have gone missing, and I don't know why.

Oh well.cry
