My opinion is that individually, lots of people are at least all right. But society/humanity as a whole is a completely different story. How/why this seems to be the case, I don’t know.

I woke up just so I could have the spaces myself, but...

It's past midnight and mom has this visitor at this time at night?! :skull:
I'd understand if it's business, but it's a social call. And their voices reaches the room upstairs.

Reminds me how much socialising my mom needs so much, it occasionally annoys me and my sister.

Sigh...

Not really. The Congo River is a highway for the people who live there. People and goods travel up and down the Congo River and there are books about traveling it.

There are, I think, some "undescended" rivers in Asia and in the Himalayas but they far exceed my ability. These are trips with many people and many sponsors. Only the top condition and experienced explorers can attempt them.

I don't "need" a river that no one has paddled before. But I want one that does not have maps beyond the USGS maps. I don't want a description of the route and a video of others who have been there. I don't want books telling me just what to expect. It's like someone paddles a river and it is a secret mysterious place. Then they write a book or a popular magazine article and suddenly "everybody" knows about it. It's exploitation of the river.

It could be my time and the time for this kind of river running is over. I may have to just remember the times I was river running in unknown territory and how that felt.

On my mind right now, it to create a topic ( a French word From France meaning 'topic', but different words are used in Quebec because France lost the respect that the French language had for France). about Star Trek.

Mine do. And I don’t stop them unless another kid is about to use the slide or is waiting to.

I didn't just want to, I did climb up slides. Conforming is so boring.

I climbed up any and everything I could, including hot shiny steel slides in the summer.

I still remember how hot those slides were in the summer sun. Ouch!

I avoided using any slides that had any kind of metal anywhere after getting a huge shock (literally) from a screw in a slide. I too tried climbing up slides (in fact, I thought that most children try it at least once), but I quickly lost interest because I thought it was more fun to go down them.

Yeah, but it was faster for me to use the stairs or whatever, and then I could go down it more times

My phone has stopped working except the alarm. It has been ringing every 5 minutes for the whole day. I can't switch it off because the screen doesn't work to touch the off button.

That's why I'm wondering it cos when schools and nurseries go back there'll be the whole 2 metres apart thing so if a kid's climbing up the slide there can't be a kid going down. Never had slide at my school but had slide at both the nurseries I went to.

I feel... A part of my mind no longer had to holdback.
With a phone that is brought with MY money, with MY settings, with knowing that only I get to use it and see it's activity.

Now...
I hope soon I'd get my OWN space.
Where no one makes a mess but myself, knowing that no one ever walks on my room and arrange without my permission, being certain that no one could've rummage on my things in my sleep or absence...
