General Chat

Good afternoon,

From someone who is now living on their own I am thankful that I can sit outside and chat with countless neighbours when I feel the need.

If I was shut in a high rise flat I'd go crazy very quickly. Plus I have family visit and yes they come in to the house!

Oh and just one correction to RTR's monologue - most people do NOT trust Google, once they find the tracking on their smart phones or find adverts targeted for consumables they have discussed with the phone within 'ether earshot' they learn PDQ that data has been harvested without their consent.

I think a lot of us feel unmotivated, Shirley - no matter what our age!
I have spent far too long decorating!
What I have done over the past 2 weeks would have taken me less than a week before - but there's no rush, as no-one's coming round :-D :-D

I have to say that I'm glad that I am not in the England where Rollo seems to get all his information.

I'd be dead long ago!!

Like Shirley, I'm worried just a little bit about the lack of exercise that I'm getting as I too cannot walk far without having to stop, and have been unable to get the regular physio that I need to help me. But otherwise I am just fine with the new rules and regulations that we have here .........

those over 70 strongly advised to wash your hands frequently, stay home, social distance, stay safe

Which is EXACTLY the same advice being strongly advised for those UNDER the age of 70.


Some very small (!!!!) pieces of advice for Rollo ..........

stop reading online/print media/wherever so much garbage information.

Get your information from only one or two well-informed sources

Stop posting doom and gloom on here


You'll slowly drive yourself ............. and us! ............ crazy if you keep on reading and passing on the information that you have been doing for weeks and months.


I would point out to Rollo in particular, that Canada so far is in a far better position than either Britain OR France, let alone the US, but I've not offered any more information on this site than the ones I posted above. Which, I think is exactly the same as suggested for you guys ............ except we started before the first case was even diagnosed in BC, Ontario and Alberta were behind the game.

I have an I watch that measures your steps and how many time’s you stand and flashes up reminders to stand and move around for a minute

Most times I do it but sometimes I am in the middle of look ups and don’t want to lose my train of thought

Sometimes I feel I am getting lazy though and think I will do that job tomorrow Can’t be bothered today

It’s all a matter of motivation :-)

Fingers crossed that you get your new knee when this is over.

Shirley - just had a thought! (no applause needed :-D)
Have you got, or could your daughter, get you a pedometer?
That way, you could stroll around the garden, and try and increase the number of steps you make, every day, thus ensuring enough (or slowly increasing) exercise!

RTR,,that is only one type,,,,,,there are many many more,,,,,,I know all about lisinopril

they are stopped if you are in hospital with the virus.


We are the champions Shirley,,,,,a little backburner time will be worth it soon,,,,,,,,,enjoy the sunshine with a sandwich and coffee at lunchtimes.

Well !!

I was just musing that being on your own and a bit challenged with mobility is challenging

Didn’t expect to be told at 83 I am being stupid to listen to the warning to be careful as being older makes me more vulnerable in that if I catch it it could be harder to get through it

Don’t need the lecture to ignore what has been advised .

Even if I could safely get out I can’t walk far anyway without needing to stop and sit for a while .

Just hope though all this sitting around so doesn’t affect my quality of mobility was what I was saying

Hey ho

:-|

I'm saying nothing! :-D :-D :-D

Silence, deployed correctly, can speak volumes.

Agree, Island, which is why I did pointed out to RTR that this wasn't the thread to post his doom & gloom on - but I suppose that gave him attention - so, like some spoilt toddler he carried on.

Obviously, people as self obsessed as he is, think that what he has to say is much more important than anything or anyone else. :-|

Some people just like taking over a thread.

I hope Shirley has given up reading this one.

There was me thinking Shirley had posted for a bit of support as she is on her own...…
:-| :-| :-|

I had assumed Kay???? meant whilst on the various breathing machines in hospital. As we are not forced to tell our GP's if we think we have the virus why would anyone assume they needed to stop their medicines. This idea of RTR's harps back to when they thought Ace inhibitors may be a problem.

Things move on quickly.

Ovee 70s and above are being advied,,,,,,,,,not enforced house arrest,,,,over 70s can go out, as long as they follow the *Guidelines* andkeep well away from others,,,,,,,,they can go shopping or out for a walk,,,,,,,,,but well advied not to.

The reason for the age given is that in many cases,people in their 70s are often on some form of medication for a variety of health reasons,,,,,,,,,,should they catch the virus

,You do understand Rollo that these medications CANNOT be given if you catch the virus ,,,,,,,,,so anyone on heart medication or kidney medication,or blood pressure medicationand others ,so they will die from the very reason their medication is an asset to their lives.

the virus isn't the killer its the complications it causes,,,,,,,hearts will fail,,kidneys will fail,pneumonia will be a result,,,,,,,none of these can be treated. for infected people...….….but you may know different,?

RTR, I haven't bothered reading your essay on Why You're Right - according to you.

Though no doubt there are spelling mistakes - which you would castigate others' for making - so not only self-opinionated, but a hypocrite too.

As for the last line - There's reality - then there's semi-factual gloom-mongering.

:-D :-D :-D

Can't say that Maggie. :-0

I remember when Dtr broke it off with fiancé 1 and I told her to get out and enjoy life while she could. She had one night at home in the first month! She didn't half enjoy herself. <3 :-D

A girl after my own heart. <3

Ah! The purveyor of positivity and accuracy pops his head up again!
To be tracked - you have to be willing - something RTR appears to forget.
Also, if you agree, all that data needs to be assembled and analyzed in a central location in order to be effective.

One thing RTR can't be accused of - that's empathy.
This isn't the thread for his doom, gloom and self-opinionated ramblings posing as 'facts', but obviously, RTR is so full of himself he doesn't give a monkey's.
It's almost like an obsession - how much depressing sh*te can I create today?
.
I would tell him to get out and get a life, but now is not the time.
Perhaps he should use his computer skills to play around on the internet - maybe join a site with similar views to his own - I'm sure Davis Icke's website would be grateful for his tripe.

Rollo
If you are determined to cheer people up and help with their isolation why did you not mention some experts suggestion that the over 50’s should also stay indoors
