Reflections on the past year on HIP.

She our queenie.

 

I love the way that your mind works Princess Cookie.

 

well thank you--- not sure anyone has said that to me before

 

i have a friend that said he was here "a long time ago" and i wish he'd come back since it does sound like its improved a lot

 

"...reader who just so happens to explore our sexy community..."

My favorite area. Many topics, certainly educational and enlightening for many, pushing the envelope for some, but carefully-moderated and watched over.

 

I am too scared to be my self in that area. lol

 

I became more active here and became a mod.

Made some cool interesting friends. And burned a few bridges. I was very careful with that process.

A lot of changes happened here in all of 2021. We learned to not let wannabe children ruin this place. Because we're grown adults.

Looking forward to 2022.

 

You're brave.

 

2022 is going to tell 2021 to hold it's beer.

 

You have nailed it with that one. Either way.

 

I am not sure what to think about for 2022.... I think with so many people not getting vacations there is another pending shut down

 

Omicron of which is an embarrassment to Delta is starving it because it is more viral where Delta spends it's energy upon symptoms. If only this keeps up until a future mutation becomes the end of it.

 

----and sometimes I wonder---do you ever think of me----

 

Omicron is merely an anagram of Moronic !!!

 

Ironic.

 

Will Labour succeed the Tories before the Libdems?

 

Not when you consider the cretin we have here in charge of our government !!!

 

The Labour Party is numerically larger than the Limp Dems, so its likely, but I'm not enamoured of either of them !!!

 

a year of not having a new outrage everyday, i'm happy and thankful for that. condolences to gb for still having one of those.
not much else to say for the year past except again grateful it wasn't one of the four years previous to it.

a couple of stimulus infusions and a cost of living long overdue upgrade, though still lagging behind actual cost increases.
everybody wanting to hire somebody, now that i'm over 70. oh why could that not have been 50 or even just 30 years ago.

of course the reason nobody wants to go back to work, is the risk of getting sick if they do.
which everyone tries to pretend isn't there, but can't escape it being in the back of their mind.

maybe if more news were about creative things, new ideas being tried and some or most of them working,
you know this is what i'm always looking forward to, and we do have the big scope on its way to L2,
and earlier in the year we had this first drone flight on mars, a robot launching another robot,
and it all worked and almost no one noticed how cool, amazing and wonderful that was.

and we even have a president who knows what a train is.
that may not sound so amazing for europe and parts of asia,
but for america that's been a rare thing for most of my life.

and people, i thing a lot of people, everywhere, are starting to realize how important the forest, and the diversity of life, is for their own.
maybe not entirely understanding it, but having at least some vague idea of a connection.

its been a year, if not of a rediscovery of wonders, at least one of a crack of light, and the hint of a tiny bit of hope that brings.
