    I am now more scared. I’m reading a stray missile killed two people in Poland. Poland is in NATO…

     

    Ukrainian S-300 surface to air missile attempting to intercept an incoming Russian cruise missile. Chances are we won't be hearing about it anymore within a week.

     

    Yes, every aspect of the war is concerning, but as a recovering "doomscroller" I've learned that it's best not to freak out when news like that initially surfaces. Try to stay calm and wait for more facts. The worst thing you can do is jump to conclusions and imagine the worst case scenario. If you're anxious about something you'll engage in emotional reasoning, convincing yourself something terrible will happen. Thoughts are not facts!

     

    Hope that helps.

    I'm certain I make my share of grammatical errors. Also, I'll occasionally come across one of my old posts that seems awkwardly worded, so I'm in no position to criticize.

     

    The only thing that makes me cringe is when I see all right spelled alright

    being more active here this past month -- it's really just now hitting me that this forum is deserted. what does it for me is seeing the birthday/anniversary notifications of all the classic members who have been long inactive. 

     

    Well, it is a message board -an endangered species.

     

    Isn't SOCN still pretty active? I don't lurk around down there anymore since I stopped using stealth mode.

    We were sitting watching the BBC news when everything changed before our eyes .... one minute they were talking about 

    The Queen being unwell, to all of a sudden the announcement of her passing. Quite a shock.

    RIP.

    Yes, that seemed quick. We were watching the BBC news Channel that we get on our tv and felt the same.

     

    I only heard about it because I get BBC breaking news alerts on my phone. I knew she was in frail health, but I didn't think she was that ill. I thought she'd live to be 100.

    The mayor of our town is being investigated for leaving the scene of an accident. He drove through a grassy area and hit a water line, ripping off the exhaust system of the car, which was city-owned, by the way. He then fled the scene. Alcohol was allegedly involved. 

     

    I'd drink too if I had to be the mayor of this place.
