my d’Verse mates are tech savvy
meeting and chatting in virtual time
no idea how to do
and too lazy to learn
satisfied with reading the words
altho I’m sure many excel at reading
I’m more comfortable at reading others
than exposing live online
Bjorn the fearless instigator
started this new peaking trend
a go setter by all means
as the team expands to the seams
glad to hear the joyful snippets
of those productive face to face times
but relieved to take a back seat
as my blogging unwinds …
aroused 
Nicely done.

Beauty of words unexpressed in a unique and charming way, the literary taste makes it a winner.

I’m there with you in the back seat. 😉
I enjoy the reading and exchange of ideas and prompts
But not so much impressed with new tech. Had a few of those Meet-ups and well the connections aren’t always best depending on who has what carrier.
I’ll pass on that new trend for now 😀

I can’t make sense of the internet
It needs all these passwords
That I always forget
I can’t keep track of virtual time
And I can’t feel the rhythm
If the words don’t rhyme
I ain’t no poet … I’ve no mates at d’verse
I know that you know it
And that makes it worse
But I keep passing comment
What else can I do?
It runs in the blood
So you do too.

I like to be able to hear a voice to go with a face but I don’t want to put in the effort either. Besides I’m busy and they are scheduled at inconvenient times… (excuses, excuses)

OMG. Me, too. Thought i’d listen in and next thing I knew I was looking at my face, without makeup and with morning hair, in spite of the fact it was after 9 at night and looking 20 years older than I thought I looked. Damn. Why didn’t anyone warn me???? Slammed that lid down faaaaast.

It was just that I wasn’t prepared. I hadn’t even brushed my hair that day. I looked like an ostrich with a cockatoo’s hairdo. Thank God I was clothed, albeit in my nightgown! Nope..I need to get that post-a-note back up on my camera.

Quickly drawn and clever stuff Kate… I did actually try and give it a go myself – but my repeated attempt only crashed – so retreated to drink tea and read instead!

Scott, (and Kate) did you try downloading the google meet phone app? I couldn’t get my mike to work on the PC but the phone app loaded quickly and seems to be working.
