chit chat 2023

Hey everyone, time to start a new chitchat thread for 2023. Er, only a month and a bit late.

How's everyone?  Is everyone still here?

I know I've been awol for ages and sorry about that.  Life just got in the way, as per usual.  Started a new job back in 2021, boyfriend break up and so on and so forth, plus, to be very honest, I'm just not as interested in George as I used to be.  

I'm not going to promise to spend more time on this site because I say that every year and don't really stick to it, but I do think of you all often and will try to pop in more than once a year!

Katie

ps: it's now all your turns to update me on what you've all been up to

It's good to hear from you. I think there was some sort of glitch with the system I couldn't log in  so I had to register again. 
But now i  am in on my old password.

Glad you're back - even if it's only once in a while. Sorry to hear about the boyfriend. Hope the job situation is more rewarding. Things here are slowly getting back to normal (except politically, but that's another story).

 I'm with you where George is concerned, but I think it's because a lot of what he's doing doesn't get much press - at least here in the US. We get more from the DM than our own press. Also, he seems to be working a lot more behind the scenes, so we don't often see him in the media. Still, he's doing some interesting work that I'm looking forward to seeing.

I'm glad you still want to keep COH going. I'd miss it and all my friends here.

Katie, I appreciate you keeping this fan site going. My old site just had news and pics but it wasn't interactive like this one is. I really enjoy reading the news and seeing the comments.

In my 30 years of Clooney Fandom, I've had spells where my adoration has waned. I got busy going back to school at one point and had little time to keep track.

He's ticked me off two or three times with some of his political commentary as well.

However, I still think he's a good guy and I respect his humanitarian work so I keep coming back. Lol.

So I'm sorry to hear you're having a rough go of it right now but hopefully things will get better. I just had to put my old diabetic kitty to sleep so hubby & I are sad about that. My job is sucking right now. I've got a little over 2 more years until I turn 65 and I can retire.

Ida I'm sorry to hear about your cat that is very hard I've been there.

Ida - Me, too. A few times. It always hurts, but it does get better eventually.

Hope the job gets better so your last couple of years aren't so bad. I retired from a job I once loved because it became so unpleasant that I hated going to work every day. I really hope that doesn't happen to you. Just remember that it won't last forever.

Find a new puss, from an adoption place when you're ready, Ida. They are so rewarding. And all the animals in our house from the year dot have always been from animal rescue homes. All the children had them too

Katie - have you managed to see 'Ticket to Paradise' yet?

Hi Ida, so sorry about your cat.  They're so much a part of the family and it really hurts to have to let them go.  Sending virtual hugs to you.  And also hope that the job perks up a bit.

 Indeed I have - made all my family go to the cinema on Friday night and then it got cancelled (can't remember why - was that when the Queen died?) so we ended up seeing something else instead and I had to see TTP by myself the following week.  If I remember, I'll open a new thread in the forum for it (or reply to an existing thread where other posters talk about it).

Where is everybody???
