@SpinningJen  that windmill was built in 1863 and still runs, in fact most windmills here are still used on a regular basis in our constant with the water levels. That one makes sure that the water is kept at a safe level for the surrounding bird sancutary so that ground nesting birds dont find themselves flooded out. You can visit when the flag…[Read more]

No idea but if its making you feel that the relationship is in any way unprofessional change your therapist.

I love Christmas, hate New year because it heralds utter madness in NL with fireworks.

I dont make new year resolutions I aways think they are doomed to fail and we should set ourselves up to succeed not fail.. But if anyone needs motivation to get out and walk … Two lovely scenes from this week, all for free the only thing we had to do was get…[Read more]

I checked it out and was disturbed by what I found.

Don’t let a naturopath near your vagina: “black salve” for cervical dysplasia

Sadly nothing above about 1 or 2 inches. I suffered a back injury a few years ago and as well as loosing about an inch in height I cant tolerate high heels anymore.

I have to say as I started to read your post I thought sounds like that guy has some PTSD going on.

By the time I got to the end I thought no hes just a player.

The thing is its all very well your friends or any of us saying you deserve better  but unless you think you do you will never move on and find someone.

As @KitKatKitty not all men…[Read more]

I hope you all had a wonderful time. We kept things very simple in fact we had a long walk and a picnic breakfast on Christmas day.

Our gifts were simple and we have no nasty credit card bill to dread in the new year,, I think that counts as successful.

All done just the poaching pears now cant do them too far in advance.

Now as long as the weather plays along we have all our plans ready.

Those cookies look fantastic. I love to cook but my patience is limited when it comes to decorating.

This hasnt been repeated because it wasnt seen as responsible or in good taste (in combination with extended adverts in the same theme)

Have you heard that next year some adverts will have to be less gender specific?  ie house cleaning and  dieting cant only be aimed at women. Holland has already seen one of those ads! Low fat cheese aimed at m…[Read more]

You already know the answer. You know you are not being fair on either of you.

Staying with someone you dont love is wrong,  for you and for him. Dispite any abuse in the past he deserves someone who can give him 100% and so do you.

Stop messing about and bite the bullet.

We took a major hit when OH had to give up working and then again when I gave up work to become his carer although Ive managed to  claim a small allowance to cover 10 hours a week ( I used to work 24).

We use all sorts of tricks to save money. I shop once a month across the border and save a ton on shopping that way, meat, some household…[Read more]

Its true there have been loads of advances in anti retro viral drugs and in many cases people are able to be treated with just one or two pills per day instead of the handfuls they used to take. Its true that HIV is no longer the death sentence it used to be because the modern drugs can suppress the virus down to an undetectable level.  But that…[Read more]

I am now wrapping and boxing gifts, I like to used different paper for each of my grandchildren so that they know which gifts are theirs and it personalises the gifts even more.

They have an outfit each (I like to buy a Christmas outfit for them) and for my grandson some very basic ABC and learning colours books plus playdoh with cutters in…[Read more]

Im friends with my daughter and son in law but my daughter is now 30 and she knows what is and what is not suitable to be published on FB for the world to see , sadly most people do not.

@PeterG. of course I dont mind.. Anything that helps, youre welcome to use it.

Now its just a case of hoping men will read it remeber it and use it..

Personally I have instructed my daughter to suggest to her dad (my OH ) that he buy 2 cinema vouchers and enclose them in a card that says ‘ Id like to take you to the movies to watch whatever…[Read more]

I had both sides of the coin this week.. I had posted my usual warning about not tolerating thinly disguised racists or discriminatory posts about Chritsmas and certain groups of people. Well one person replied with a whole diatribe of hate against religion and groups who knock at his door and how even though he doesnt believe  whats written in…[Read more]

Thats really impressive,,

Sure see what your passions are but also see where your talent lies…

My son always wanted to be a chef like since he was about 3 ..So he went to school he studied he passed all his exams and became a chef but… No one had considered how his growing list of food allegies would impact on his work and the fact that his ADHD was made worse by the…[Read more]
