In response to "Niagara Falls"

I hope you get to go in person someday! It's still possible.

Though I hear there are amazing waterfalls in Australia.

In response to "Niagara Falls"

I agree with SandraLynn Team Florent!

Niagara in the winter is spectacular. I went in February, we stayed at the Embassy Suites and our windows overlooked the falls. I saw it at night from the hotel and in the day did the stroll down to see it closer. The boat wasn't going when we were there. My husband wasn't thrilled about the temperatures but the sight was incredible. There's also a butterfly house not far from the falls that is so worth seeing. I couldn't believe how many butterflies surrounded us while we there.

I hope you find a way to get there, you won't be disappointed.

Oh, I agree. Crutches are not for the faint of heart. I've tripped other unsuspecting, innocent people with them. I've tumbled down stairs attempting to walk with them. They are the closest I'll ever get to stilts. "I'll pick up my sticks and shuffle." Yep, that's all you can do.

I have been lucky enough to visit Niagara Falls many times and it is always a breathtaking thrill. I've been tossed about in a boat and blessed by the spray/mist. It is really spectacular in our winter with the snow and ice as a sparkling backdrop. I'm sorry this dream has never been a reality for you.

Nicely done!
I can see how crutches can be demons. When I had to, after foot surgery, I opted for a cane. Luckily, I healed fast.

I hate crutches, they make my armpits and shoulders both hurt. And I've almost fell down the stairs trying to navigate with them more than once.

Nice job!

In response to "Old Dog. New Tricks"

That's so funny. It's also true of cats. My older cat won't climb up but now that our kitten does, he's been climbing and exploring places he never did before. Sometimes they just need the right incentive.

In response to "Is there an answer?"

People here in the United States were warned about climate change years ago. Our Vice President in 1993, Al Gore, was an environmentalist. He talked incessantly about the issue warning something needed to be done to avoid destroying our planet. People laughed at him denying there was any such problem. He was right, they were wrong. I need to answer this prompt if I have time today. Have a good one!

In response to "Love "

59 years is incredible.

I can't imagine a love that intense either. And I'm very much in love with my husband. It's my second marriage, we've been together 20 years and married 16 years. If I had foolishly stayed in my first marriage it would have been 50 years. I left him before our 30th.

I've read a lot of his sonnets and wondered the same thing about the woman. I didn't realize there were 100 of them Kåre Enga in Montana

that's a lot of mushy stuff.

P2. Social Media - Good or Bad (opinion)? Should it be or can it be controlled?

Anything can be both good and bad at the same time. It can bring communities together or drive them apart. It just takes one s..t stirrer to start an argument and the topic/ conversation is ruined.
I’ve always been astounded how a simple question or request on our local community chat group can get someone making a criticism or a smart or condescending remark. I have stopped making any comments or asking simple questions any more. I do wonder if it’s always the same few people who ruin it for everyone else.
Do they scroll through several conversations looking to make what they imagine is a clever remark guaranteed to start the rot.
I find sarcasm to be the most prevalent. Sarcasm can be so hurtful and when I read it, I squirm for the poor innocent who simply asked “does anyone know what that loud noise was,” or “are the shops open for late night shopping” simple questions like those.
The worst things on social media are when someone begins a rumour or tells a downright lie. These people are called Keyboard Warriors for a reason. They hide behind anonymity, say things they wouldn’t dare to say to someone’s face.
Were we better off without it? I’d have to say a big “yes.”
Facebook can be fine if you choose who is going to be in your friend circle. I love keeping in touch with my family. Without it I wouldn’t know what my grandchildren and great grandchildren are up to. I see photographs of them as they grow and celebrate their successes.
My brothers both live in England and I’m in Australia. We keep in touch, not often but without Facebook it would probably be not at all.
So it’s a shame that the few spoil it for the many, but it’s here to stay and it’s up to the individual to use it for the good.
