Hi harp! I just started @bout an hour ago but quit to watch Biden’s speech. I have 20 left now.

8:13 pm

harpjane

I have 8.

8:13 pm

Nef

WTG, you can do it!

8:16 pm

harpjane

I hate it when newscasters say something is "historic." How do they know what is going to be in the history books?

8:19 pm

Nef

The way people have been dancing in the streets across the country; I’m sure the reaction will be historic the the people who were out there today (not sure if it will go into history books, though).

8:19 pm

harpjane

done!

8:19 pm

harpjane

how you doing nef?

8:19 pm

Nef

YAY Harp! WTG!!!

8:21 pm

Nef

The last 2 months have been a blur to me; hubby’s health has really gone downhill, we had to move to assisted living, & I’ve had to empty our house, update it & sell it; but I’m starting to feel like things are good.

8:28 pm

harpjane

Oh my, did you go to the same assisted living place? It might be easier for you once things have settled down.

10:11 pm

Nef

Sorry, harp, I got off track. But yes, we moved in together. It’s nice to be able to push a button for help when he falls.

11:06 pm

harpjane

I'm sure

11:20 pm

stidmama

((((((NEF))))))). I am glad you are in a safer location, sad you had to sell your home. hey harpjane1

11:21 pm
