Comment from Ric Myworld

Excellent

Our laptops come in handy sometimes. Of course, more times than not, mine keeps me from doing something constructive. I've been gone and out of commission for over 2 months, and will likely we a few more weeks before catching up on reading and reviewing. I hope I haven't missed anything, or too much. Hope all is well with you! Ric

So good to hear from you. Where have you been? I can’t really be arsed to write or review at the moment. But every thing is good.

I went to Las Vegas for about six weeks. Then came home and ended up in the hospital for a couple weeks, and no it wasn't from too much action for an old man. LOL. I ended up with a few things going on, blood clots and such. I'm limited in what I can do for now, but I'll be good as new in another week or two. I hope. Hope everything is great with you and yours! It's always a pleasure to see your name pop up. Hugs, Ric.

Hi Ric. So sorry to hear that you are not well. Have you got someone looking after you? I feel as if I know you but I know so little about you.
Dare I ask what year you were born? Hugs Jen.

reply by Ric Myworld on 13-Mar-2025

Thanks for your kindness, Jen. I live alone and still act more like a teenager than an adult most of the time. Born in 1955 I guess I've reached the age where things can happen. But I don't have anyone around, and really don't need anyone. Yes, I'm with you, we have communicated for a long time, and I feel like I've come to know you in many ways, but really, we know nearly nothing about each other. I do know you're a sweetheart who's witty and kind and who makes me smile whenever your name pops up. :-) Hugs and a big peck on the forehead, Ric.

I also live alone and behave like a teenager. Although I do go out and socialize a lot I like my own company. You seem to spend a lot of time in Vegas. I take you are a gambler, I am not although I was a croupier long ago in a former life. I’ve only been to Vegas once. I saw Bette Midler at Ceasers Palace. It was a fantastic show. Hope you’re feeling a bit better. Hugs. Jen💓

I thought you had a significant other for some reason. I used to go out a lot but the last 5 or 6 years I keep to myself. Like you, I prefer my own company more than most. LOL. I’m really not a gambler, if I thought I would lose over the long haul I would never play.
I just like to compete and keep the brain working and break the monotony. I’m doing much better thanks! Hugs, Ric

We all enjoy our technical devices and I enjoy my iPad as much as I'm sure you enjoy your laptop. I enjoyed your 15 syllable entry for the contest and I wish you the very best in the contest.

This is simple yet I like it quite a bit. Good work. True also. I like how you describe the feeling of what your lap top connects you to in only a few words. Great writing

That's cute! Love the way you surprise us with more than just the laptop as a tool but as a means to connect with friends through the internet. Best wishes in the contest!
By the way, you might want to check the syllable count because I count 16. I suggest just dropping the "as".

Thanks so much Helen for your help. Can’t believe I was so stupid.x

We all do it! I've miscounted syllables, too!

I laughed at first, but technology has made what was deemed impossible, possible. I communicate more via a laptop than by phone or any other device. My husband complains about it. My phone is hardly locatable or functional (I never charge it). I could relate to the sentiments expressed here.

I love the artwork. It symbolizes friendship, whether online or in reality. The message is clear and comes across with the pleasure of going to your laptop to see and visit your online friends. I do the same thing with the hope that the friends will fill my life with wonderful visions of togetherness and love.

Love this, and yes, many if not all will/can relate to your words, I have always-as a young fella, made friends face to face, but that experience seems to have been made obsolete, with all the violence going on, and now the laptop does hold friendship, very well written, best wishes for your contest****kahpot
