Why am I drinking alone when we have Zoom now?

Traffic on this site has fallen off precipitously.

You know what's better than cat photos? When your cat walks across your keyboard in the middle of a Zoom call. Well, all we need now is the Zoom call.

It might be a way to liven things up. There used to be the occasional post about people trying to meet up with other SLNers, but you could never really get more than a few people together. Technology has pros and cons. As great as it would be to get everyone together live somewhere, it's never going to happen. So why not go next best and host a Zoom call sometime? Would love to see everyone's smiling face

Some old friends of mine starting doing this during the pandemic, every Friday afternoon, and it’s been great. Since we now live all over the place, even pre-pandemic we rarely got to meet up, so this was a fun development.

It's a great idea. I just went to something for my college 50th reunion and it was amazing.

That would be fun.

Wow! That would be weird! I have pictures in my head of what everyone looks like, as if you guys are characters in a book I'm reading. But I'm game if everyone agrees that it's a good way to shake things up a bit!

I would be game. I participated in something similar a few years ago through some type of FB platform, with a FB group I belong to. It was weird but kind of fun.

oh I don’t know kids. I like Zoom because it cuts down on the social chitchat at meetings I have to attend and for that reason I find it valuable. I find it difficult to have useful purely social interaction on zoom with a group. Sometimes I FaceTime with a friend of mine but that is one to one.

so I don’t know if I’ll participate if such a thing comes to pass

I am like catherine and have a mental picture of folks, but I'm game!

I participate in several groups (hobby & other) on Zoom and find there's usually 1 or 2 who dominate and many, like me, hardly speak. I would hate to experience that with this group. I like you how you are. Just me being an introvert.

okay-------no. you kids know my skillset in social interaction is very off-putting. But yeah---even more of you would put me on "ignore". Hope thatt helpps you some.
