A tip, that may be useful for you. I don’t have smartphone, just an old nokia dumbphone. I have an iPad wich I decide wether to carry or not when I’m going out. Sometimes I take it with me because of work or just because I want to draw. But I can choose if I want to be an internet terminal when I’m outdoors or not. I think it reduces my online time quite a lot. Maybe could be helpful for you, I don’t know. But maybe you can try. Those Nokia’s are just around 60$.

I really love that idea (no smartphone) and I’ve thought about doing it. I must say I really admire you for not having one. That, I think, is a powerful statement and takes a great deal of dedication.

My excuse fir not giving mine up is that living here with no car and relying on subways and buses, I often need to check arrival times, suspended service, etc. for the MTA. I don’t own my own laptop or tablet, of which I’m (probably stupidly) proud.

Yeah, I’m in the same situation. I don’t drive so I move around the city in public transport. And check arrival times, etc. sometimes as well if I have the tablet with me. Anyway, my city is quite good at announcing arrival times, both in bus stops and tube stations. It is not really very necessary to check everynow and then. But I reckon that, in a monster like NYC, it might be more than necessary.

Apologies for my rudimentary English.

I've just had around two week long break from the social media which is in my case Twitter and of course our forum. I've been too busy first and then too ill to sit at the computer or stare at my phone. Well, for sure I had more time for other things as watching movies and sleeping, definitely my ass and back hurt much less from sitting. I cannot say that it made me happier though...
I missed you and funny pictures of cats posted on Twitter I'm addicted to.

But I don't see
And I don't feel
But tightly hold up silently
My hands before my fading eyes
And in my eyes
Your smile

I mistook stars reflected in a pond at night for those in the sky.

Well I can assure you we're glad you're back because you're feeling better. You've had it rough enough, lately!

Thank you

I've been feeling almost constantly sick for past several months but even though annoying it's only minor stuff and I should be grateful for that. Currently with post-covid strange sinusitis again but hell with that.

Yes, I was thinking you'd had a few months of this. Even if it's "minor" stuff being under-the-weather for so long can really wear you down! I hope your body can shake all this stuff, soon!
