The one on the left, with yellow tie, does not look like a man at peace.

Something is eating at him.
Too bad.

Tell me your eyes didn't water when you watched that fountain scene....

It has been such a relief to not hear tweets repeated constantly on Tv, etc.

The silence is golden.
His tweets have been an irritant for 4+ years now.

So sorry this happened to you today.

Perhaps try to keep her near you where you can keep an eye on the situation before too much happens.
Frankly, just as you do with a young child that you can't trust out of your sight.

Covid in long-term care facility - what about viral load in rooms?

Daughter diagnosed with Covid. She had first dose of vaccine before Christmas, second vaccine the day before diagnosis.
She was taken to facility's Covid unit.
After one day, another patient was brought into her room as a roommate.
My concern is that the new person will increase the viral load and continually re-infect my daughter, causing her case to be more serious.
Daughter is 59, with many co-morbidities - diabetes, has had a heart attack, etc.
Are there any iniform or accepted practices re sharing a room with another Covid patient?

The French word " speak", as in "parlez-vous francais", etc.

I pray you're correct...

Son listens to him & such while driving a van to his various stops in his work.
This has poisoned his mind.
I compare it to the addiction to pornography.

Beautiful and sweet traditions to have and to remember.

I have recently reconnected on Facebook with an acquaintance from employment; she was a convert to the Orthodox church nearly 40 years ago and appears to be very close to fellow members. I am sure this is a great consolation to her as we and she age. She frequently posts thoughts and prayers from Orthodoxy on her FB page, so I relate her thoughts with yours, Sprinkle - all good.

When I was a child - 1940's- on Christmas Eve the kids went to bed at regular bedtime

and Santa (parents) then prepared the gifts under the tree. Thus no midnight Mass at that age.
Later, when college age and young adult went to Midnight Mass.
Now, way too tired to contemplate going out at that hour.
