  What Is Your Favorite Decade or Time Period to Live In?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some people say this decade is the most advantage and so they are happiest in the present.

  some long for the good old days before cell phones and computers.

  if you could live in an era or decade , when would it be?.

  some people i know have not gone out of their houses in weeks.

  some will walk near their homes and run right back in.

  meanwhile, i go food shopping and i see tons of people, many with masks and gloves on..

  Too damn right we have .Especially at our age we cant take this virus lightly .I sit on the front porch or the back deck and watch the world go by either with a beer in hand or a glass of wine in hand depending on what time in the A/noon I`m sitting there.

  A greeting and a wave every now and then just to try and keep some sense of normality and being interactive with folks as much as possible as they walk their dogs etc.

  And of course keeping in touch over the phone with close friends when possible .

  Only going out for whats needed ,such as booze # 1 priority and food & toilet paper in that order .

  Take care and stay safe all you lot ,it will pass ,eventually and hopefully we are all still here.

  hey all,.

  i'm day six of isolation, confirmed to have coronavirus.

  i have been seeing very sick cv positive patients over the last month in my a&e role (emergency physician) it was inevitable i would contract it.. just wanted to give some symptom and treatment advice, it's anecdotal but may help.. started as sore throat and headache, then croaky voice, then dry cough, then episodic transient fevers, all this over the first few days.

  IT experts

  good day former jdubs, i'm a new member, particularly looking for it experts whome can verify if the jw apps track its members and record audio, particularly the khonf app.

  if you download app on google play store and click the headphones, a pop up requiring user to click pop up to enable audio recording is displayed.

  i'm minorly aware of the evolution of tech and tracking scandals.

  they are doing all they can to still reach out to people despite the lockdown!

  i am appalled but at the same time ,i can very well remember when i used to be doing the same thing when pimi thinking i am really helping people , giving them a positive hope , something to look forward to n all.. amazing how thoughts and mind sets once opened changes so drastically!.

  Aaahh Zing ,I miss the sunshine Coast of QLD ,Have very fond memories of the place even while I was an active JW.

  Sorry, nostalgia got the better of me .Yes the Jdubs still have to get their time in so letter writing is a good way to go .

  You can spend a couple of hours just writing a few letters with coffee breaks inbetween and you dont even have to leave your house ,except to post the letters .

  Then again most witnesses I know wouldn`t spend the money on stamps so most likely it was a walk around the neighbourhood just letter dropping.
