I paint my nails with clear polish often, too, Mamie. I always use a base coat beneath my nails. It makes my nails look neat, pretty and glamorous. I keep my nails short, though: long nails – on me – bug me. I also often clean my nails with soap & a nail brush. I don’t like grubby nails. Plus, I do a lot of cooking and hate having onions beneath…[Read more]

Thank you, Rachel! I will reply soon.

I agree with much of what you’ve said, Mamie. I also think it is best to take palm reading, tarot cards, horoscopes, etc. lightly. Because it is science that explains the world, everything in the world and the entire universe. Science is why we’ve got our computers. Science is why people go on airplanes. Of course, we don’t have all the answers in…[Read more]

I have to agree, SpinningJen: modern, contemporary poetry is more enjoyable to read than the older styles of poetry. Of course everyone loves W. B Yeats, but he was from a different century. We are – obviously – in the 21st century and I feel my poems should be modern, sometimes fun and just a breath of fresh air.

I have never claimed to be a…[Read more]

I have nightmares myself: I often dream I’m in a town where there’s a T-Rex on the loose and everyone is running and screaming in fear. It is awful.

I also dream I’m in a smokey, fuzzy room and as soon as I try to reach the door, my legs buckle and I fall down.

Most of my dreams are nightmares. Now – I love my sleep – but these nightmares replay…[Read more]

Being in pain is absolutely awful, so you’ve got my sympathy. Chronic pain sucks. But enjoy your DVDs and keep online.

You’re not alone in this, but take care and I hope – as Mamie does – that your doctor is able to find out what’s caused it.

Sending positive thoughts your way.

That’s what I thought, Mamie! But I could understand where my sister was coming from. It was her weekend and why should she miss out on enjoying herself, going out & about? I had been very selfish. But we went out yesterday and had a great time! We aren’t going out today, as we have to start cooking dinner early. We are making Coq Au Vin. I shall…[Read more]

I am not a parent at this stage of my life, but have strong principles when it comes to parenting. Food and diet is something I would strongly instil in a daughter. I would show them – through example – rather than tell them. Words can be ignored or pushed aside, whereas actions have a much more lasting effect. I would show them through my actions…[Read more]

Congratulations from me too, Mamie!

I continue with my job at the charity. I am positive it is the right job for me. Plus, I’ve got my writing and digital marketing work.

It’s all good!

Nails, nails, nails.

I LOVE having regular manicures.

I would love to write song lyrics. I tried to as a little girl: now I write poetry instead. I just love the creative process and being imaginative. Having an imagination is amazing.

There is no limit to what I can imagine.

Thank you, SpinningJen.

Thankfully my sister got over it and cheered up! There wasn’t a falling out. But I still feel awful and very selfish. Because I have 5 days a week: my sister only has 2 days a week. I have learnt my lesson in that regard now.

I think you’re right: saying “What WILL I do?” rather than using the word “should” is better.…[Read more]

Brilliant, SpinningJen!

Maybe if there was God – and maybe even Satan – then all they are, are energies. An old, dear friend, believed that Satan was an energy, rather than a self aware being. But a negative energy. Maybe all God is, is a conciousness beyond human thought. Not a person as such.

But the universe is a strange place. Even in quantum mechanics, the…[Read more]

I have had a new book of mine published by Lulu.com. I LOVE the way it has turned out. It was well written and edited. I do enjoy creative writing and putting my work on the Internet. I definitely go my own way: regardless of bumps in the road.

Anyhow, back to German: it is a nice language and I would love to speak it. French is too difficult for…[Read more]

I don’t think their behaviour bodes well. I think they are distancing themselves from you and are thinking of moving on.

I write this because I have had long distance friendships and recognise the signs. Being supportive and kind doesn’t really work at keeping in contact with them. I know you love them, but I feel they are distancing themselves…[Read more]

Life can throw such situations at us, but you’re not alone: you’ve got friends on here and IRL. Leave her behind and move on.

It isn’t worth being bitter about. You’ve nothing nothing wrong and it isn’t always your fault. Some people are just the way they are: and it is not reflection on you.

You’re not alone.

Also, nothing was ever made better by being miserable about it!
