The Chat Room: A place to talk about this and that

Sunnyflower, yes - I have the same issue when I use my phone - we don't see everything. I found that if I'm confused as to where I'm reading, I scroll to the top of the message thread on my phone and it shows the name of the discussion.

Hi Sue, yes, I addressed this. I do NOT see the name of the discussion at the top of the message all the time on my phone. Makes no sense, but true. Thanks so much for trying to help. I appreciate that. Warmest wishes, Sunnyflower

Hi Ginger, I know that when I reply, my reply will stay in the group/discussion that the message I'm replying to is in. I understand why that discussion was created and that there will be a lot of different subjects in the Chat Room. Is the Chat Room it's own group or a discussion in a group. If a discussion in a group, which group is it in? Clearly I'm having brain problems. Ug! Take care, Sunny

Hi @sunnyflower,
You are correct that on a mobile device, it is not possible to see the associated group name unless you took note of that in the email notification. It is a current fault of the web design that will be corrected in the near future in 2021.

This is a discussion in the Just Want To Talk group. See here:

oh, @jakedduck1, You are such a treasure! I can relate!!!!! Thanks for the chuckles and laughter you so often generate.

@funcountess, Just catching up on posts and laughing at your skateboard reply! I have friends with kitchens like yours so they probably don't need as many walks as I to stay fit. vbg

I, too, am considering a move to a smaller home at some point and was very disappointed a few days ago that the Council for the Blind donation center was closed. Will just let the donate bags "travel" in car back until it gets too full.

One of the discoveries of this Covid year has been how much additional time I am spending trying out new recipes and the kitchen clean-up duty required! While I am happy that many/most recipes provide leftovers to be frozen for "another day", the clean-up time is truly a drag!

So Yes! that, coupled with living in a very windy, dusty area (even with those highly advertised dust reduction window installs!), I seem to be in perpetual cleaning mode. Dreaming of that time when in restaurant dining, always a favorite pastime with others, can be resumed!!

I’m not sure if it was you or not but somebody wrote a post somewhere about going to a dietitian and the dietitian added some foods to add calories. I have a suggestion and a tasty one at that.
Go to the Hershey website and order a 5 pound chocolate bar. It has 11,500 delicious calories.
If you really need to get bulked up you can go to the Amazon website and they have a 10 pound chocolate bar.
This post made me hungry, I’m off to get some candy and cookies now.
Bon appétit!!!
Jake

@jakedduck1,Yep, Leonard! 'Twas me who mentioned the dietitian but I Much prefer your remedy!!! You'll understand that in ordering some munchables to add X-mas cheer for family, the catalog advertised that if purchase exceeded a certain amount, the purchaser would be sent a choice of either free butter toffee or cheese. Welllll, that was a no brainer...one can buy cheese anytime!!! Two days after arrival only the memory of that Wisconsin Cheeseman's toffee remains!! Merry days ahead for us all!!!!

@johnbishop
Hello, John. I am new to Connect. This is my very first attempt at using this chat room and I would like to ask you: How do I chat with people who have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? I also would appreciate chatting with someone who has taken ketamine treatment because of major depression. I would like to know about the risks related to ketamine. I struggle a lot with both CFS and depression. Thank you so much.
All my best,
Christiania
