John1 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 First off my 9 year old daughter only being in school a couple of days / week with none of the normal activities a girl of her age should be partaking in. No soccer, Girl Scouts, gym or just running around outside with a pack of kids. It's quite sad. 2nd - traveling. She is finally old enough for us to take her out and start seeing the world. Made it to Munich just before the virus struck, had plans to go to Ireland last spring and London last fall. 3rd - just being able to go to my local pub, watch a hockey game and have a beer with the village lads.

BarryWilliams Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 What I miss most - popping into the local pub at lunchtime and having a pint of best bitter stood at the bar....... or sat in the pub on a dark cold winters evening by a roaring fire sipping a pint or three.... europapete, mpk and Phartycr0c 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanmoe Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 My wife has a terrible form of uterine cancer. However, she looks and feels great. In other words, she's in between the recurrence and treatment cycles. I'd love to really treat her, to travel, or just go to a nice restaurant. It killing me that I can't do more to make this part of her life richer and more enjoyable. scvrobeson, aircommando130, Adrian and 8 others 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ron Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Yes travel, I've been traveling internationally for work since the early 90's and my wife and I try to do at least two trips a year somewhere fun, i.e. Hawaii, Florida, Ireland... This is the longest stint I've gone without travel since I was in my early 20's. I used to go to Houston once a month, I haven't been there in 13 months now.

James Rademaker Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 For me, my grandchildren. I haven’t seen them since Christmas 2019. I hate this #&$#&$%* virus. I have two grandkids that I have not even been able to hold. On the bright side they are doing great and thank god for FaceTime.

I hear what your saying but it's not the city I miss at all actually. I have a lot of friends and colleagues in that area, some I've known almost 30 years, it's them that I miss seeing.

People are hugely over-rated, on the the whole. Additionally, unless you cook them well, they can be very chewy. Chris.

Panzerwomble Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 1 - It's a bit like being sent to Jail in Monopoly , & after 10 months I still haven't rolled a double to stop incaration in my own home ( now with added fines in the UK ) 2 - Groundhog day ....for 300+ days , the only difference at the weekend is not having to switch on the work laptop . 3 - All conversations on the phone sound like the comedy character Kevin the Teenager ....."where you been ...? ...nowhere" ..."Who have you seen? ....no one" ...."what are you up to ....nuffin ...." 4 I can't travel to see my elderly parents 200 miles away .....unless they die..... and then I'm allowed to go to the funeral with 5 others . #UKsucks for me at the moment .

Zactoman Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I miss the bars and clubs packed with cute college girls. Oh wait, that was 30+ years ago... I was locked in my basement casting parts long before this started so not much has changed for me. I do miss going out for those occasional dinner and a movie nights with the wife, but then I've taken up cooking and have had some wonderful dinners with her here at home.
