I know a lot of people that live alone, as I am sure that many of you do. I am sure that you have been texting them, chatting on-line, etc. Yesterday I took a few hours and telephoned the same people I had been using other sources to communicate with. Call people; my ROI was hearing voices filled with happiness at hearing another voice instead of reading words on a screen. I don't mean your Mom. We all do that.

I've been talking a lot more to people in my neighborhood when I go for a walk. And I'm pretty introverted. I guess that's a pretty cool thing that's coming out of the lockdown.

Good idea. I've been doing some calling, will do more.

Skibum gets it. I've also been writing actual letters and using long hand - that's cursive to your youngsters! I agree on the phone calls. I haven't found people out on my walks. Though I did have a small discussion in the park when playing with water rockets or compressed air rockets. Discussing the physics with strangers on what makes a rocket a 'rocket'.
