Why am I the only one here?

[Netsuke]

Now I do realise many people have a great deal more going on in their life than I, but it seems almost every time I come here, there are either very few people ‘viewing’ or nobody is ‘viewing’ …… so sad.

[Netsuke]

I am thinking could it be because there are no new threads and the old ones have become passè?

[Voy]

and because you are on the other side of the world from most of us - Kuski and Lumi being the others.?

ah, sorry, Sundays are busy days for me... as are weekdays, but... you know what I mean. and I realise it is now Monday where you are...

Yes it is Monday, but it’s the middle of the night two eighteen am. I’m up because I awoke an hour ago and can’t sleep. Which proves it is not always a good idea to lie down on one’s bed in the very early hours around dinner time the night before! Not only did I not have any dinner, I can’t sleep! 

I aim to fix that - going to eat now and watch Netflix. I was watching a Norwegian Christmas film which I saw last Christmas. Nice, family type movie the feelgood type.

I hope you're back in bed and happily asleep, netsie.

There are 6 people ‘viewing’ right now!

nets

are you 14 hours ahead of me?

It's just that no one goes to forums anymore. I do sometimes, but rarely. It's not like 2002 nowadays.

[kuskiwi]

I'm working 40 to 50 hours a week at the moment so don't have either much time, energy or things of interest.
I'm not into Facebook so hope those if us still on here can continue and thank the mods for making this available.

My laptops died and as I'm a fast touch typist hate posting on a tablet..mistakes and I aren't good friends, and autocorret makes me cross, so that also limits my involvement.

[auntieannie]

I so get what you're saying about autocorrect, kuskiwi!

[Voy]

And I get it about tablets !

[tzarine]

hate tablets too
will use if necessary

[lumi]

When I see someone quote me on here, or happen to glance back at my own posts, I see so many errors that it is embarrassing. But I only ever have time to do by here on the go, so always on my phone. Not ideal at all but I don't want to not be here either. I have a Facebook account (though rarely use it), but prefer to catch up with all of you on this forum as I like the conversation style of threads far more than short comments on fb.

I would love to be here more often but, to be quite honest, u am really overwhelmed these days with the everyday pressures of work and being an almost single parent (Mr Lumi travels so much nowadays that I am basically on my own but it is harder than that because he will usually be back for a day or two a week and so I have to help our son with his emotions of the ups and downs of his dad coming and going). And being abroad in this country means that so many simple things are far harder than they would be in many other countries.

Lumi, I am impressed that you get on here at all.. with all the balls you are juggling, social media is probably the bottom of your time commitments! And while forums may have their day, I like getting on here since there are next to no scammers, we can vent and discuss stuff which wouldn’t be fine on fb and we sort of know each other. It’s relatively safe!

[Voy]

Lumi - forget worrying about typos - and just keep typing !

[tzarine]

absolutely, lumi
forget bout the mistakes
love seeing you here

[auntieannie]

many hugs, Lumi.
