Coasting along.

25 Replies

As once was said by a message poster,

Life can be like a roller coaster.

The peaks get higher, but the troughs go deeper,

And that's where lurks that old Grim Reaper.

But friends are here to help you up,

And to a brighter future look.

So grit your teeth when you go down,

Find a smile to replace that frown.

Cos you've still got a full half cup,

And very soon you'll be coming back up.

I like that Don only my iPad won't let me click 'like', to posts. I'm allowed to 'like' replies but liking a post shows as 'unlike' 🙁. No idea why this is but would be grateful for suggestions. Keep 'em coming Don.

I was confused by this until I realised that the unlike response means you can cancel your like response! Simples really! All the best xx

I'm still confused🤔 - I can't 'like' any post. When I click on like - 'unlike' appears, if a number of others have already liked that post the number indicating how many have liked it disappears and 'unlike' is all that's left in the box. This doesn't happen when I click on 'like' to replies, if I click on it again 'like' will disappear but there is no 'unlike' in its place (for replies)......if you see what I mean🤔.

in reply toMagpuss

But surely when you click ‘like’ and it changed to ‘unlike’ your ‘like’ has been acted upon? You only click ‘unlike’ if you change your mind and don’t want to like it after all?

I notice that when the unlike comes on there seems to be less likes.will ignore it next time, thanks Don

It happens to me too

I’d rather have a ‘reply’ than a ‘like’ anyway. 😀

👍🏻👍🏻 Wonder what year that pic is from?😏 x

in reply toKittykat2

The photo was taken 1954 in Margate, by Grace Robertson, a remarkable lady who is still very much alive aged 89.
