Am I the only one (at least here) that detests "family zoom" calls?

14. I hate Zoom calls of any sort - and any video calls at all

I just don't want to have to put on a bra and normal clothes to talk to people. If I have to do that, I want to do it in person so I can more easily sort out who is talking and who I want to talk to.

But then I am an old curmudgeon who doesn't really like to talk to people much at all anyway. (Can women be curmudgeons?)

The group I am a member of has had Zoom meetings monthly since last fall. I have not "attended" one of them. I use the excuse that my Windows 7 desktop does not have a camera or mic and I'm not going to buy one for it. Besides, getting Zoom to work on it is sort of a kludge if I had the technology on it. They posted some videos of their meetings and it just seems chaotic.

My husband's family has had some Zoom meetings, but I let him take those upstairs on his laptop and he can deal with it.

Even if I weren't retired I wouldn't have to do Zoom - running a farm does not require long distance meetings.
