That Poxy Virus.. Keep well all.

[darkeyes]

It's some time since I posted on site. I don't want to say very much except to hope all of u keep safe and well and that ur able give Covid the proverbial body swerve.

I don't know so many who post nowadays, the site has changed so much and is much less vibrant, not to say fun than once, but I do wish all of u and your families well whether I have known u or not.

For me, my daughter and I are locked away in isolation, just the two of us, still in "Auld Reekie", but alas without the fun of the past in a city which is in normal times great fun for those who are not of a str8 bent as it were.. if only Coronavirus had never been, hey? I may have calmed down in recent years since my daughter's birth but not entirely until now.

I'm not going to rail of old about blame, cause or anything else, except to say keep safe and well, and help keep others just the same. Much luv to u all! ��

Hey Fran!
Good to hear from you and your update. Annika drops by the odd time and so does Duck.
We are coming out of lockdown very slowly up here in Canuck land. I lost my aunt to the coronavirus and have been isolating with the odd escape for groceries.

I will to bet that your daughter is outspoken but ?

Take care!

glad you are doing well, as I hope others are as well. Short of the weekly grocery store trip, pretty much stay at home.

hugs n kisses

Lisa

I am so glad to know that you are health and hopefully happy despite the crazy situation we are all living through.
I wish this site still had more women like you and others that have gone elsewhere.
So please stay safe while this virus is hunting for victims and occasionally let us know your OK.

hugs darkeyes.....

honestly and this is going to sound so strange, I am loving the lockdown, its been so quiet and cos I have stayed off the net so much, there has been very little drama ........

We had a level 4 lockdown, literally a national 24/7 curfew, very limited grocery shopping options, 95% of businesses closed, and so the streets were so empty and quiet.....we are about to go to level 2 lockdown with many businesses opening but 1000s no longer have jobs, as a number of businesses have made staff redundant or simply closed their doors permanently.

so yeah when I say I love the lockdown, its the peace and quiet I love, cos I am more reclusive than ever, so quiet walks on empty streets was nice......... but I am worried about the future not just for NZ but the world as the cost in terms of lives lost and financial costs, is beyond measure...... and its always been a warning I would give that many great ideas, have very serious costs... and maybe now people will realise that you can not just shut businesses down and think it will fix things without consequences.......

I hope you, your daughter and kate are well.... ahh I am trusting that nothing has changed and that you and kate are still enjoying wedded bliss..... there are times that I do visit the site and I do have fond memories of crossing swords with you at times, lol...... some times I really took offense with your stances but that was good cos it challenged my own thinking and opinions and yes I changed some of them because of your thought provoking stances........

what ever the future holds, fran, it will be what ever it will be, but thanks for being part of my lifes experiences, challenges and reasons to always look in the mirror at myself...... and you take care of yourself and your own...... hugs

Thanks to u all.. whether or not I've known u on site! I still miss the argy bargy of .com chat with Duckie, tenni, and so many others.. the raunchiness too..I used to fantasise Lisa would come for me sometimes! Lots of yummie others too!! Gels of course.. lesser mortals need not apply!!�� (Just for u Duckie.. I know u hated me using the expression.. u weren't alone!!!��

Ne ways.. stay safe all... Time for Kit and I too take a wee dander up the hills at the back.. c the hielant coos as me dad would say! Luff yas all��

[darkeyes]

Did mean 2 say... The lockdown is playin' havoc wiv me sex life... Wot sex life, she asks? Has been so long now since Ive had 2 person sex I've begun 2 question wot it is! Most of us masturbate.. wearin' me fingies down 2 a frazzle. �� An if postie rings me door bell, or a delivery driver wen Fran is having some me time.. may have to review me commitment to pacifism... B happy and well all.��

Below is a partial translation for darkeyes words.

" lesser mortals need not apply!!" = men need not apply :) ;)

Methinks most folk got the gist of what I was driving at, tenni.

Which reminds me, I got a proposition and a proposal in same breath just after New Year. Me m8s were surprised I didn't blast the poor sod or laff in his face.. but I was incredibly touched, tenni. As guys go he was quite attractive so I let him down gently. 14 or 15 years ago I might well have given him a test drive! I know that's an awful way to speak, but I might well have. Daft bugger should have gotten to know me in the middle middle 90s to middle naughties.. instead of waiting till I'm a set in me ways lickle ole lady!

U mentioned Kit being outspoken. God she is a mouthy wee cow! God I adore her!!!!

[Long Duck Dong]

lol to be honest...... my issue with the * lesser mortals * term.. lol yeah I remember that, and it actually had more to do with the actions and thoughts of the people around me, and the stance of some people in the site, more than anything......

I watched recently, in a LGBT facebook group, a person talking about how society needs to do so much more to be more understanding and accepting of LGBT people and I thought to myself, the older farts like me, have watched society change over the last few decades, so I spoke up and shared about what I had seen, only to be told by some 20 something female, that I was wrong, that was not the way things were at all......and I just had the typical single, white, middle aged male way of whitewashing everything........I think that the group lost over 1k members in the next couple of days in one of the biggest online fights I have seen in many years.......

in the past, I would have argued with her.... this time, I just laughed and replied, is it not amazing how those of us who have lived and experienced, know less than the youth of today who believe they know everything without having the years or the experience of being there, and therefore have all the answers, while the older of us admit we did not do a perfect job, we just did the best we could and that is what the youth of today are enjoying, and thinking its just not good enough.......

I turn 50 in a few months, I have buried 3 female and one male partner, met my son after 20 odd years and my female to male trans son who I never got to see for 21 years so I never got the chance to be a parent, just a father......lol and I joke with people that yes, it could have been worse, I could have got married lol...... but life is good.... and I will always have the memories and experiences to think about and laugh about.....our debates are one of them and for that, I thank you so much...... hugs
