Good day values forum members

I am the new one here under the avatar name @Palme

As it is when you are new in a community, you first introduce yourself briefly. Not in all details, but a few things you can talk about and look through. Much of it is already visible in my profile.

I am from Switzerland and live in the greater Zurich area. I have already seen a few summers and am a pensioner. I had the luck to live very active at a time, when not for everything a paper and whatever for tests were required to work internationally and to go on vacation. Also not every-where a cell phone was demanded to download any Apps by order to be then whenever in the respective to be under control in the respective country.

These times are finally over and that's just the way it is. But what the heck, life goes on for older people as long as we / I continue to live with joy, friends, family and fun. Health is certainly also important, but certainly not the most important.

My hobbies are cooking, especially French cuisine and this mixed with extremely hot spices from Thailand. I like to enjoy good red or white wine with it. I don't like beer as much as I don't like strong spirits.

In order to stay intellectually fresh, I deal with geopolitics on a daily basis. The info sources I read and podcast I listen to are from the English, Asian and DACH area, but this is my business and I am not here to post about these topics, as this is not a political forum.

I also still do my daily financial market analysis as I have worked in this field for years. It's just a pleasure to look first thing in the morning what the markets are doing again and why.

Furthermore I am interested in psychology, especially in behavioral and childhood psychology.

Another hobby, which I have only recently discovered, is music. Comparisons with an original song, no matter if a sonata by Beethoven or a song by the Doors with respective cover songs or a good remix I find, even at my age, absolutely worth knowing and also expands my musical horizons. If wished I may open a new thread on this kind of field in this forum.

So, this must be enough for now.

Have a nice day.

Palme

First of all: Thanks to every body for the friendly welcome here in the forum. No idea where I can press any "Thanks Button", but will do so as soon as I know, as I at the moment not familiar with all the possibilitys in this forum.

@slammer

Some how around what you mentioned, but with out "Wienerschnitzel" or "Schweinsbraten", at least for the time beeing.

If you like an example:

So today I cooked: Rabbit thigh ragout with a creamy, very spycy chilly sauce and a salad a la mode from the boss, which is me . No recepie from where ever, all comes from cooking experience at least at this fancy level.

Happy for you! I'm in my second half of the life and my hearing is already declining I guess. I don't enjoy music as I used to 20 years ago, nowadays I listen to whatever, which is usually POP from a random radio station, or just nothing at all.

It will magically appear once you have ten posts.

@Belgianmum

Thanks for this information.

@Gravity

Well, we all get older and then are confronted with this or that kind of illness. So it is going. But as long as we do not start worry to much about it, then life will always be lifebable. About radio station: As I see your current location is ZH, I like to listen to “Radio Zuerichsee” ( https://www.radio.ch/ )

@Axa

Thanks for this information. May I ask: Would it make sense to open a specific thread in where specific only the original and the cover or remix in one post is shown? Just an idea.

In general I have one question: Is the time limited when staying in the forum as I think yesterday I was of a sudden out of the forum during writing? Where would I have what to change to not happen this again?

Thanks and have a sunny day.
