Any chance of having a conversation that doesn't involve Covid-19

Not sure what subject matter we can come up with but there must be something... I have read a lot of good books... taken a lot of nature walks. My husband and I enjoy sitting on our deck each night with a glass of wine and enjoying the neigbors that stop by. Have been tending to my plants. Enjoy talking on the phone to my kids and friends. All in all we are happy and enjoying what we can. Health and happiness to all...

Funny you should say this because I go to the pool at 8:30 and walk with 3 girls. We normally walk about 2 hours (its much too hot to walk outside) and then stay til about 12:30-1.

The conversation over the past few months has been Covid, what were cooking, eating and most other "idle" talk.

It's kinda crazy that most our conversations for months revolved about it.

Now, sometimes we look at each other with not to much to say as most things have returned to normal except a few exceptions.

This week we are seeing many people come to the pool that have self-quarantined for months - our pool is for residents ONLY until further notice. So of course, all of us are catching up.

Today, though we talked about how excited we were finally our nail tech could take us for mani/pedi ... if that's the highlight of our day -- we are in trouble!!! lol

@Junebug54 Well, we could have, except you yourself just put the word COVID19 in the title of your post.

What? A NON-Covid conversation? Don't hold your breath. I do like your post as it sounds very inviting--glass of wine on the deck and nature walks. A nice respite from the usual doom and gloom threads.

Not likely. Seems like the response to just about anything here is to be scolded "dont you know we are in a deadly pandemic??" I'm glad to hear the happiness and peace you are enjoying. I, too, am enjoying some really good books, wine and friends and I hope to hear others are too.

I have been stuck in my apt for 3 days waiting for maintinance to come fix my burned out exaust fan.

I've had to fix my own breakfast for 3 mornings straight instead of going to Burger King.

Watched my oldest GS virtual graduation from college this morning on FaceTime. I recorded the whole thing so I can burn DVDs for all those who could not attend.

Grabbed a comp suite at my favorite casino for the last week of July = 4 nights. Will cancel reservation if indoor dining is not resummed *again.*

l1:00p will be taking my nightly walk. Illegal fireworks will be on display.

There have been a couple of threads but they went "poof".

DH and I are having dinner with friends Friday night, then back to our house for dessert (to be determined)..On Saturday we are going to friends house for a cook out...dang it will be hot on Saturday but it beats snow, and cold weather.

I'll go outside in the morning and do some gardening before the heat rises to much. I'd like to dig up and separate some day lillies but they are blooming so I have to wait. I swear I just did it last year but they have taken over where they are now.

I see a lot of threads on different topics but they are probably under specific forums. I pull up all the threads and don’t pay attention to where they’re coming from but you might try home or garden or fashion, etc if you have any interest. HTH 🙂
