Hi @Historylover 

 

I read your other posts carefully - I have not experienced such antisocial behaviour myself but I do know what you mean - after spending years at 3 different churches of my denomination in this area I left - for personal reasons - I guess things just added up and for different reasons I had enough - I think I could have been more passive about things but I just don't hang around where I am not comfortable. I would like to play cards but I am not comfortable with the in-talk and politics of the local aged-citizens. Who knows why? I am comfortable alone I think

 

But I do hear you - maybe things are worse out there now than they were when I was employed - I took early retirement over 25 years ago now and I do recall there were unpleasant people about - some people go out of their way to be nasty I think. I was pretty popular in most of the places I went to - but yes - a few nasty people can make things smutty - I guess as I am older I like it less

 

I don't know what to suggest - sometimes people are just having their say about things and I can leave it there but feel free to share - if you want to get out and about in the community then it is really hard to find a place where the atmosphere is conducive to returning

 

I'm glad you got your new computer - I didn't know people got a free mouse with a new computer - I have had a lot of computers since I first bought a word processor to write my minor thesis back in 1991 - I have had to buy a new mouse from time to time - with the lock-down I would feel okay about getting something on-line now. I've been doing on-line shopping a bit lately and it gets easier each time

 

I'm really sorry to hear that you don't have a proper kitchen - that has to be down-right inconvenient - I don't know how you manage with that - or rather - without it

 

All the best - I hope things look up for you soon - I am sure that therapist you had has made relationships harder for you - that was not a good scene for anyone
