Ironically I realised that an pedelec (after I built and bought a few) are the worst possible thing that could happen to me as I get older (the kind of assistance that makes my body less able, prevent calorie burn).
Yep. My ebike made me fat alright. By about 3 stones. Previous to converting I did a heck of a lot of walking between bus stops, train stations, taxi ranks and work. Some nights the only option home was a bloody long walk of 10 miles or more. That sort of thing thins, and I was fitter for it. Quite honestly I was thinking of selling my bike, but it's too much fun to ride... provides rapid and zero effort change of scenery.
That's by way of rationalising the not venturing outside general chat.
Threads elsewhere frequently meander into territory you might enjoy.
Never occurred to me to use youtube for private friends family video, it's a thought.
That was one of the main motivations for it's creation. If your therapist friend needs promotion, Youtube could be used that way exclusively, but becomes expensive to be effective. Best bang for buck is a Google Maps listing, with the website featuring video embedded within it, reinforcing marketing information, providing material in a more quickly relatable way than text. Most small businesses don't need much promotion, and don't need to be featured prominently in search engine organic listings, because Google Maps listings are featured above them on search results (on Google, which about 90% in the UK search using). Good job too, otherwise many businesses would be completely wiped off those first few pages by the big players, who invest heavily in Search Engine Optimisation.
Could be a horrible topic of conversation from your point of view, but I trust the divorce is going ok? Avoid becoming homeless, it happens often to men after divorce, that and alcoholism etc. A friend was going through a divorce and boy was that a mess! His missus started knocking him around. Was almost homeless, had to use foodbanks etc. Can be a very rough road. Three years on he's moved to Bali and got married again (third time), has a new daughter. He's older than his father in law.
