check in friends.
« on: March 21, 2020, 05:37:51 PM »
no matter who you are, where you live and what you do. these are trying times. it seems really quiet and you may not think you have anything to offer but let's keep in touch. by the nature of this board we practice "social distancing".

you may not feel like talking or have anything to post but just let people know you are ok. post a gif, a smiley, a picture,  say hi, anything. just let us know you are still out there whether it is every day, once a week or once a month. just let everybody know you are ok.

here goes............

Great idea.

Not only check in here but check on friends around you.

The old folks don't need to be completely isolated in this time. we want to protect them by distancing but that can lead to isolation. give them a call just to say hey maybe a bit more frequent.

absolutely. if your phone works, call someone. a parent, a child, grandparents, friends, coworkers, anyone who may be missing or needing contact.

if you have to text, sure but real conversation can't be beat and may make the difference in someones day.

That was inspired.

Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?
