[Katya]

see her on fb quite often - she is well and so is her mom

Say hi for me. I really miss her.

Everybody is on FB (but me). Oy.

Good night Fran, Katya and snails

And in that post from "quite a while ago", I also mentioned how
Husbear and I just simply stood up and left the after-dinner
gathering when each and every one of the others were immersed
in their cell phones.

Nobody noticed.

Nobody even wrote the next day asking what happened.

Now, I'm sure there are at least two folk here who would opine
that it speaks to Husbear and I... how boring and dull we must
be and that pixels on a device hold more interest than our
presence.

Plausible and possible, but flawed.

It doesn't quite explain what is seen at other tables in a restaurant.
Unless OUR "bore-fu" is so strong it transports across a room and
infects total strangers... pushing them into a stupour as well.

No... I think it speaks volumes as to what has happened to a rather
large chunk of the "human" race. It's insulting, rude, thoughtless,
and a raft of other descriptors.

Strong letter to follow?

And in that post from "quite a while ago",

sure enough! quite some time ago but somehow it seems more prevalent now. but your reminder stirred up some other dim memories - was there ever a solution with that 'chainsaw bear'? can't remember for the life of me and that's scary

That time has long passed. Quite a number of years ago,
but the sentiment remains. Only now, we probably would
not have left in silence. Filters have become a bit thinner.
