    <description>&lt;P&gt;One friend and I are committed to a monthly zoom call. We live in the same city but I am retired and she is not. Once a month is good because a lot happens in a month for us to discuss. In the 3 years, we have seen online concerts, plays, movies, art and docs. We usually eat, drink and talk a lot. We have seen each other in person. Saw a play in December.&amp;nbsp; I am grateful for the connection (no family).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Some text, some phone and some dropped off.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;No house visits or Facebook.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;(1 comment) Hello Everyone!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;COVID "seems" to be backing up and we are socializing more.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My only child video calls me every Sunday. We are in different states.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(1) Are you visiting them in their homes and/or they visiting you in your home?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(2) Texting?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(3) Phone?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(4) Snail mail?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(5) Facebook.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(6) Email.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(7) Other ways, you tell us.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Nicole &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:"&gt;🙂&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I visit my relatives, and my eldest son, who reside in other states.&amp;nbsp; Facebook, especially the Messenger feature, is wonderful for keeping up with the latest news and sharing pictures.&amp;nbsp; We all also text, call and video chat.&amp;nbsp; The internet can be a wonderful thing!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Barbara&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;We have 3 daughters that we see regularly and talk to by cellphone. We texted and post photos on Facebook with or without comments.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;A while back I was keeping in touch with one of my kids who had enlisted in the military.&amp;nbsp; I assumed that during Basic Training they would be deprived of their electronics, at least in the beginning.&amp;nbsp; I sent a couple of letters via snail mail and got one in return.&amp;nbsp; Apparently some of the folks in the barracks were absolutely mystified by this method of communication and didn't even know how to address an envelope.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
