Davlos64: During this pandemic & have you acquired any new skills in the process.
One thing I’ve learnt is that I’m useless without people , although domestically I’ve mastered the vacuum cleaner , have a rough idea how a washing machine functions, although ironing is still a mystery to me .
Basically, I can function alone , as long as I’m in a naturist environment
So what have you learnt , or what skills have you acquired in this past year ?
I have been a loner for decades so I was ok with that part. I learned in the beginning I could be a lot more giving than I ever thought. Not just of my money but also of my time. (Though nice I am quite standoffish and keep a wall up. Not stingy cautious of both time and money) Later on as time went by I learned somehow I had changed through out the decades. I no longer worked to live, I lived to work. I would like to change that. I did not see that before. What a horrible shock. I learned there are some real mean people in life and they had taken their mask off where they could wear the covid mask And that is a smidgeon of what I have learned. I have no problem looking at myself and seeing me for me. The good bad and the ugly And I did and do not like the changes I have seen in society.
I discovered a certain resilience a bit of steel I didn't realise I had even my cleaner mentioned how much happier I seemed, and I can take or leave CS as I want. So booted and kitted with 2 Coronavirus jabs, I'm ready to take on the world again.

what have i learned ,about myself??? Well in the process of questioning my sanity ,due to the scamdemic and virtual dating , i`ve learned - Its not me, its them ...if I may illustrate ...
I've learned that having time to re-set, evaluate ... to breathe and enjoy the small things is important to the individual. I have learned that gratitude and kindness are relatively easy to achieve and grand gestures are not what people are looking for- sometimes that small something you do for someone else is all that they need at that time. I have learned not to undervalue what reaching out to individuals can do for them and for yourself - the journey of establishing new contacts and retaining old ones is not unachievable during these times.
I've also learned that You Tube videos are an important learning tool when you are unable to reach out during times of lockdown to fix things around your home.
rohaan: For myself, primarily to be even more grateful. Things could be much worse ( for me) so...no complaints, and especially about little things that never should have mattered much, anyway..
I have had worse years. Glad I didn't catch the virus but I am not in the clear yet. Have an appointment to get my first vaccine next week. My brother wanted to go on a short cruise with me last year but we had to scrap those plans.
TheDino: Exactly, there ain't nothing better than coming home and smoking some marijuana after a long day of smoking marijuana
Old cartoon:
Flo: Andy Capp! Are you going to lie around on that sofa all day long?!” Andy: Not at all, love. When I get tired of it I’ll go upstairs and get in the bed.

Totally truth! That's why women need lovers at least 10 years younger :)

How true...recently I watched “The Crown”, and Margaret Snowden had a pool-boy-toy MUCH younger...what a scandal it caused. Poor Elizabeth was so freakin’ embarrassed...
