Re: Attending meets

I do feel ok when I'm talking to younger people than me at meets, but sometimes I do wonder what they are thinking.

I didn't know people were stopped from going into clubs because they were too...

Re: Developing conversational skills post 30 years

Hi,

I'm ok with conversation but I never used to be; though in groups I still tend to be the quiet one. One of the things that helped the most was a couple of articles I read many years ago. One...

Re: Anyone jumped ship from firefox as their browser

I've been thinking about jumping ship some time now, I don't think it is as good as it used to be. I use firefox and chrome at the moment; I usually have them both open.
