If you didn't answer, that means (I think?) that things are extra bad today...and /or that you want me to back off, which is fine of course...
I'm just sorry that things are so bad, Lee 😞
The song in my head this morning is of course a Gloria Estefan one, because I'm in a Gloria Estefan phase at the moment...

Do you have a song this morning?
In response to: Re: My only safe place AKA my fortress
Lee71Senior Contributor
@NatureLover no my silence doesn't mean I want you to back off, never. We are friends.
And I see you have a lot of Gloria in your head right now.
Was it that song because of the beach video ?

Thank you...but I reckon friends can still back off when it's best for the other friend, and that's fine 🙂
I guess though that it means things are pretty awful today 😞 @Lee71
It's funny, I can never tell what song I will wake up with, sometimes it's a song I haven't heard or thought of for years, and I have no idea how it got into my head...but whatever song I wake up with, I have to listen to that morning. Oh - occasionally it's a song I don't even like, and then I don't listen.
I woke up with this song in my head, and have been watching your beach video all morning with the song in it...it's such a beautiful video, thank you again

Do all the Chats mostly work at night?
@Lee71
In response to: Re: My only safe place AKA my fortress
Lee71Senior Contributor
@NatureLover no There's ones all the time. But the chat is not what I need.
I'm just trying to make a couple of decisions that I am struggling with.

OK...was just trying to find out what options you had during the daytime. Glad Chat is not what you need.

In response to: Re: My only safe place AKA my fortress

Ah...OK...thanks for being straight up...that puts a different spin on it. 😞
I'm not sure what to do now...but I'm here for you, Lee...
By the way, our power's just gone out again (it's windy today)...I have plenty of battery on my phone, but not sure how the mobile data will go today.
