Thanks for your reply and your nice story....yes, your advice is good and it is comforting to know how many people and how far this little Ipad can reach.....also, saw the many YouTube options for staying social there are in the daily digest for today...I’ve had ZOOM in the past, but sort of reluctant to try some of the platforms ....SKYPE, ZOOM....but I’ve had folks tell me they are perfectly safe....in any case, this discussion group is a wonderful place to be......I talk on an EchoLink platform via VOIP to join some HAM radio folks from all over...but this group is better suited for more troubling issues, but EchoLink provides social reaching out even in normal times.....I hope you enjoy your day with your friends.....and thanks again for your reply 🙂

Hi, @ robbie, You were sweet to respond. I fear though my early morning post completely misfired in intent. I was really spouting off in a convoluted sarcastic diatribe about all "that could be possible to do" on the first day of statewide reopening of everything. My family, who I first intended this for, knows how terribly frustrated I am over what I consider my state's extraordinarily late and lax handling of covid-19 guidelines.

This is a wonderful group of supportive, understanding people. My apologies for not making clear from the outset that I was conducting an early morning rant. I can be impulsive and should have withheld the post at least without some caveats at the beginning. I will be one of the slowest to resume more "before covid-19" activities because of precautions I will continue due to chronic health issues.

My daughter set me up for Zoom and we have had several enjoyable visits. It has been a great experience to get to see and hear the family and we have had some good laughs about their various "new hair" styles. While I can see and hear them, they can only hear me which is even better! because my hair now requires a hat whenever I leave on a walk! I am such a clutz I don't know how to turn on the camera, so Zoom with the family is perfect. smiles

A good friend's hubby was an avid ham radio operator. It was so much fun to spend evenings with them and get to listen to conversations from other parts of the world.
