| "Get out on the deck, this is once in a lifetime ... " LOL, that made my day. God bless you both. I think in NJ it was almost a five? Much milder out here, but even our newer buildings aren't built the way they are in, say, California or Taiwan, and we also have plenty of housing stock tha... |

| Not me ... I procrastinated on buying eclipse glasses, couldn't find any locally at the last minute that were certified and was not about to roll the dice. Just as well since I worked today, but it would have been cool to at least run outside for a bit to check it out at the peak, which was about 90... |

| For me, in past relationships, sex was mainly something for the person I cared about, as opposed to something for me. I think I mainly desired intimacy and connection and for them, sex was a necessary part of creating that, so that's why it was part of the picture. Almost like a means to an end. I'm... |

| I'm really sorry you're going through this. Your feelings are valid. My mother has been the bane of my existence also and I absolutely get the thing about thinking you won't have peace unless you outlive her. At some really bad points last year, I can remember thinking to myself that I wouldn't have... |

| How long have you been speaking with him? Do you know what type of visa he plans to get or how long he intends to stay in the US? Will he be making arrangements for somewhere to stay in your local area or will he be staying with you? Even if it adds to the cost of the trip, I think having him stay s... |

| Good news. Gives you a bit of time to get things sorted out - but you still have to act quickly to get help, especially if your family is unwilling or unable to help you. It seems very strange to me that none of your family members can call a social worker or someone in your area to request the kin... |

| I'm very sorry to hear that, blueroses. It sounds like you had a rough go. My daughter and daughter-in-law are both very immunocompromised too. It was a nightmare during peak Covid trying to take as many precautions as humanly possible to keep them both alive. In addition my mother had cancer so we... |

| Is spending time outside in fresh air for roughly 1 hour day enough or for the sake of your health should you be out longer than that? As far as getting vitamin D from sunlight, less would be adequate if you are wearing short sleeves/have skin exposed. As far as benefits for mental health, though, ... |

| I'm female and tend to have trouble making and keeping female friends also. It's always been sort of challenging, but I have noticed it's gotten more pronounced as I've gotten older. I think a large part of that is that I'm not married and chose not to have children, so I tend to have less in common... |

| If you're talking single and not even dating anybody, that can be an issue later on in life due to a lack of support in old age. Unfortunately, lack of support in old age can be an issue even for those who've been married or had kids. I work with the elderly (and younger people who are care depende... |

| Feeling like my current job isn't a good fit anymore, but also knowing starting over elsewhere will likely mean a pay cut that scares me in this economy. Wondering if I might be more willing to take a risk and try something new if I had support or a safety net like other people. |
