BYC Café

To be honest I'm reluctant to use it. I think I've used it as a permenant solution twice since I've been here. In both case it was as time showed the correct action.

Prior to that particular thread I believe that I used it 3 times on folks who were short lived here at BYC.

Sad that the thread has deviated from it's apparent original intent to one of many agendas.

Many potentially good threads go that way, people just can't STFU.

Was nice and sunny most the day here, nice to see and feel.

I/we do something very strange at Christmas. I/we don't buy present type presents any more. We can buy food, or give something we made.

25+ years ago, DH and I and his family decided to stop doing Christmas presents. If we saw something we thought someone would like, we got it, no matter what time of year. When we got together for the holiday, we had a great meal, watched a movie, read, slept, relaxed. Stress from the holiday evaporated.

I'd tell people in early November that my shopping was done, and they were a bit envious. I told them why, and some nodded, what a good idea. Except if everyone did that, our economy might collapse...

Gifts for friends are usually homemade goodies, or something someone bought, but couldn't use. Like a bag of carob powder.

This year has been kind of crappy. One friend is battling lymphoma, another has had serious kidney problems. So I spent money this year. Didn't discuss it with anyone (except DH), just got a few nice things for my favorite people.

Yes, some people obviously feel the need to take sole possession of it for a while, but it happened before and hopefully it will get back on track soon.

This is what we decided long ago as well. Worked perfectly for us and still does.

I visited the C-19 thread once or twice. I could see where it was headed at the time, never went back.

I think some of the contributors have some mental health issues. I have posted on the thread but I try not to get involved in the silly stuff.
