It's pretty common to direct message folks here with questions that might be too personal or revealing for a semi-public forum.

Indeed.
Don't send me any, I may be upset and probably don't know anyway …

I have potentially hurtful and personal questions to ask but I'm scared to ask them here as I don't want to upset anyone. The difficult questions, you know? What is the right way to ask such questions here? I have no one else who can answer them as some of you here do. I may direct message individuals I feel have insights into certain questions. Is this a skillful way?

It is skilful
Phew! Hope I got away reasonably skilfully … in a Hinayana (disused term apparently) sort of way …

Well just as I arrived back from my morning jolk I saw my landlord who told me his ex who also lives on the property has just tested positive for Covid, he and my immediate neighbour have been testing themselves daily and so far have not tested positive...

I let my landlord know that if they need any help with getting food etc, I can get them help through work...

Since the beginning of the pandemic we have been social distancing when interacting and we don't go into each others homes...So there's minimal chance of me catching it from them, mind you. I have more chance of catching it at work where we interact with both vaxxed and unvaxxed clients face to face, however we do all wear masks and social distance...

I’m trying to find the good news in this post ? Perhaps the fact you don’t have Covid?

Oops sorry @Bunks, I was wondering where my post disappeared to...I thought I had posted it in the Covid threat...I have just looked at the Covid thread and couldn't see my post, so posted another one...

I guess you're right the good news is no Covid symptoms...

Re: AI Metreya

Had someone wanting to join, proclaiming themselves to have been recognised as "The Buddha Maitri."
Sorry, but anyone who wants to join a forum and has a dubious Fb page... Hmmm. Not convinced.
The more you crow loudly about how great you are....

Nah.
