I love Zoom!

With Zoom, I can meet up with family and friends, attend classes and seminars, and still lead my books club. I miss hugging and seeing people in person, but I definitely was less isolated as in past years especially during our dogged, hot and humid days. After 30+ years, I still haven’t really learn how to stay cool and calm during the summer. (It was easier when I was raising our sons, which are now 29 & 33 years old.

I hope we don’t lose some of this manner of communication or inclusion for disabled folks when ever we start a new “normal” with the rest of the world.

Zoom, zoom, zoom.......!

Go buy a Masada....😍

A Mazda RX7, I wish. I had to give up my driving licence as I was a liability. I had a God incident the other day. The Vicar from the local church stopped me whilst I was out riding on my scooter. She stopped and told me that all their services are on zoom. So now I am going to try their service in October. Watch this space 🤗

I had a Mazda 3 at one time. My son is borrowing it. I drive my husbands Subaru Outback for short errands; you thought he was going to have a tizzy - me in his precious man car.😊. I did pass my driving trial with him in it. But still ..... he rather chauffeur me. I am not yet to give up all my independence. Not yet!

It is awesome that there are many technologies available so that we can stay in touch, TonyiaR7 but nothing takes the place of a hug! :-D

That is so true. Many people take so much for granted, like walking, a kiss, love, being together (now so many isolated souls, many depressed younger folks) my son is depressed but I tell him to visit us. Not the same as his friends his age). MS has taught me not to take so much for granted.

I just downloaded the app for my phone, but have yet to try it out. My daughter uses Facetime calls sometimes, and I sure appreciate those wonderful calls. I can see and hear her, her sweet husband, and her kids. What joy it is to get those calls when I can't be there!

Sometimes I get calls from my sister on Facetime. I get to see her and the kids (niece and nephew) as they are in WI and the virus there is out of control and growing all the time :( I don't know when I will get to see her and the kids in person. Thankful for the technology that we have now.

We have weekly family zoom meetings. Get together for several hours with uncle, aunt, cousins, brothers and their families ❤️❤️❤️

We use them for a Christian meeting. This way we don't miss out it's wonderful. Also we have a breakfast group that meets every Monday morning. We used to meet at a restaurant now we just bring our breakfast to the table and get on Zoom and get to visit it's good to. This is a wonderful way to communicate and stay in touch.

Be careful not to use Zoom on your computer. It can make you vulnerable to hacking. Phones have have a different security system format than computers & aren't as venerable to hacking.

I share your feelings about zooming. I meet with a men's discussion group once a week via Zoom. Have you come across any MS support groups that meet this way?
