It's good to hear from you highlandannie . You have had more than your share of problems this year. It seems like 2020 is a bummer for almost everyone. Hope you heal quickly from your bike accident. It's difficult to follow the news for me lately with an unstable idiot in the White House. I still can't imagine how anyone with a working brain can vote for him. Just found out my jigsaw puzzle partner and neighbor's 2 daughters and their husbands voted Republican in 2016 and plan to vote for that idiot again. I told her, "I'm sorry you told me that." She went on to say that they are intelligent, blah, blah, blah. (But they are very religious.) Sigh! Enjoy your garden party. I couldn't be around anyone who voted and will vote for Trump. I've been doing a LOT of jigsaws since lockdown. Good distraction.

Saw a video yesterday of a nun in full nunnery clothing, speaking out in favor of Trump. Her final words were, "Trump will stop abortion." Knowing what I know about trump, that could have been any woman wearing a nun's habit and giving a talk written by his office. Real nuns these days wear regular womens' clothing except the really old ones who are retired. By the way highlandannie , my jigsaw puzzle partner is definitely a Biden voter. We've talked a lot about politics while doing the puzzles. She watched both virtual conventions (she had never seen one before) and really knew nothing about politics. She is upset that her daughters are trumpers.

It is a stressful and difficult time, in so many ways, for sure.
I haven't been online very much, recently, and I wanted to stop in here, to say hello again, to all here who were so kind to me in the past,
and to give a hello also, to those who don't know me as well.
I've been having difficulties, but I wanted to let you know that I am still kickin!
I hope you all are, as well!

I've been having difficulties, but I wanted to let you know that I am still kickin! I hope you all are, as well! Just was wondering about you earlier today. Was going back a few pages in Forum Games and saw your name. Told myself, "She hasn't posted, lately. Hope she's okay." So glad you checked in. Whatever the difficulties you are going through, I wish you well!

Sending hugs and best vibes to you jaila and highlandannie. 2020 is certainly a depressing year with the virus, politics and personal issues for many. It is hard to know when it is all going to end. Just putting in my two bobs worth to wish everyone at least one happiness in every day, no matter how small.

... putting in my two bobs worth ... Gotta be more careful with those Aussie phrases in a thread that might be read by a half blind, 74 year old man. First time through, I had 'bobs' with two "o's"............

I’m just putting in my “ two bobs “ worth ...I must look up the origin of the meaning just out of interest. We also say “as useless as a two bobs watch“ for something that’s unreliable / useless Its great being able to educate our game playing friends with a bit of Aussie slang

Same in UK. Kind of like 2 cents worth, only worth more.
