The Weekly Friday Feast

NikNikSenior Contributor

The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank goodness it's Friday (or TGIF as some say!)

We thought we would start a thread where we could come together every Friday and "share a meal" and debrief about our week.

To participate, there are 2 requirements -

1) Bring a (virtual) plate of food

2) Bring a topic of discussion

So pull up a virtual chair, post a picture or description of what (virtual) dish you're bringing along and say hi and let us know how your week was.

Looking forward to seeing you at our first Friday Feast!

Chat soon 🙂

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

@Former-Member I'm not sure your age but I agree to some degree - rebelling against me being a hippy made my adult child (now 29) much more conservative in some ways, but in sensible ways (lifestyle) - they are still a free thinker but growing up with new technology makes a big difference too I think.

I agree with you @Mazarita

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I'm (sadly) a millennial @Mazarita. (just on the cusp)
I'm 30 (ish) and in many ways I feel so young still, but I'm not young anymore.
I still get very very angry at the injustices and rage and rage, but I find it hard to think/access an avenue to effect change.
Our leaders don't seem to give a stuff about the population just as long as we pay our taxes and vote for them. I just get so jaded.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

We can't help when we were born, @Former-Member. I'm sure there are really good things that your generation brings (I don't know many people your age). I am deeply jaded too but try not to completely give in to it for reasons of making the most of life. All of us have a historical moment we were born into, that's part of our fate, as I see it.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I think the on-line world opens up whole vistas - action groups on a myriad of issues we didn't even know existed back then.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

@Former-Member I sort of agree with you in relation to fight and spirit of previous generations. But i think this is because our own generations have had it very very good growing up in the late 80s, 90s and early 00s. They have lived a bit more because they kinda had to i think.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Sorry for being so slow to reply - busy cutting out dinosaurs.
I guess also I think that when I look at it, I have things much much better than my parents and grandparents.
Health care (except mental health care!!!!!) is free, education is relatively affordable.
I'll never be able to afford a house or to retire.
But I have heaps more opportunities available to me than the generations preceding me.
I guess every time has it's plusses and minuses.

Early to mid-60’s here ..... does Bohemian equate to Hippie .....?

To say that I have an arty edge is probably a gross understatement ,... lol .....

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Bohemian probably has a fancier ring to it @Faith-and-Hope

Maybe I could work on being Bohemian...
