General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I too am sorry to hear of your friend's death. It's very hard to deal with when you lose someone you care about. My condolences.

Also, continuing from Golden Bear's thread above and, with respect, might I make a suggestion?

Many years ago I was on another forum and I started a thread simply saying What's For Tea? Most people followed it and submitted their own recipes and ideas, and what they were having. Those who weren't interested in the thread didn't need to reply, but those that did, made it a very enjoyable read. Rather than starting new threads with the same subject? Just a thought.
