I can only really speak for myself here but I was only really interested in earning enough money for a comfortable life and was far more interested in how things work and relate. I spent quite a few years at different colleges, more intent on an interesting job rather than making pots of money. I know I could have earned far more if I pushed and…[Read more]

Thank you Rachel. It’s a bit early for me but it was interesting to look. I wonder how soon it will be before we see the CocaCola lorry on the TV. It was even more evident here one year as a man decked out his electric buggy as a lorry like that and drove around town (collecting for charity I think). Toblerone have to work hard since they cheated…[Read more]

I remember the tray full of vials of blood Kitty as my doctor once ordered full tests for me. I don’t remember exactly how many but there were quite a few. The worst time was once when they noted details of a vial wrongly and had to redo but at least they were vigilant.

It’s funny how you imagine people. I, at least at first, imagined you thin…[Read more]

It sounds like a good move, in my opinion. Your health is important. What are the other long term benifits anyway? Are there better prospects for career progression? A point to think about is that even if your old job had better prospects your morale may be so low that you would not be motivated to progress. Having been in stressful jobs before I…[Read more]

Although I would not call myself a fitness fanatic I do like to be fit. Being overweight to me would be a problem as I would have more problem bending down to reach something or raising my foot to head height to tie shoelaces – I like to think I can do these bendy stretchy things and one of the things I wanted when little was to be a ballet dancer…[Read more]

I suppose it is really less of an issue these days as most of the family don’t exchange presents because of the facts you mention Kitty.  I like to plan ahead and put money aside through the year. Now the children have grown it is more what to buy rather than how to finance it. You are good to refuse to borrow Kitty. That can be a road to ruin…[Read more]

It often looks so as I do sometimes screw up my makeup LOL but no not really.

Happy Birthday Kitty xxx

I am afraid that I feel things get too complicated for me. Evil is a relative term and acts may be viewed very differently from various viewpoints. Apart from ‘greed’ appearing evil so is ‘jealousy’.  Really any extreme can be. I used to think people should be paid equally (really communism) as some would like a simpler life and others would…[Read more]

I am really a morning person. I am usually first up, although not really early these days. When doing my OU degree I was in work over an hour before starting my job to get some homework in. Although I am not often in bed before 11:00PM I am often falling asleep before then.

If she is in hospital visit her. Be there for her!

Hi Staci, Welcome to the forum 🙂 .I am here in the Uk.  I often use the term ‘different’ for myself and do studies too but I am probably far more nerdy lol.

I don’t know but I do know our brains are complex. They are maybe working on many planes and alternate realities at once. Sometime the reality may be confused with the non-real. I have had dreams which have seemed so real that now I cannot remember whether the incidents really happened or not.

In these liberated days I would use the old quote: “Faint heart never won fair maiden”. You know what you have to do!

I know that well – me down to a ‘T’ . It was good when my job developed into working with patients out in the community and pushed me into contact. Online it’s not too much of an issue but I still freeze when entering a roomfull of people I don’t know. At least, from my experience of visiting people, I can isolate someone and start to chat. I…[Read more]

I will not go into the fine details but I remember an intelligent cat we had when I was a child. We went out one day, leaving it in the house. I remember on returning we found that the cat had been ill and sick, but had actually chosen to be sick in the bath so the mess was easily cleaned. A conincidence or not but amazed me at the time.

The dog…[Read more]

Thank you Kitty. We have a few pig ornaments and fridge magnets too. My horse painting will soon be finished now (I hope), but I am finding oil painting a bit more tedious than acrylic.

Thank you. It was a bit of an unusual subject for me but I enjoyed painting.

I am afraid I would play ‘devil’s advocate’ here and get a bit philosophical. What is intelligence? One thing I would think is that it is not what you know but how you approach things. I think it more intelligent to be questioning and exploring. A desire to extend your boundaries of knowing and understanding. Am I intelligent? – By most people’s…[Read more]

Being a bit technical I can do a few things which do include checks and probably change wiper blades. I do change bulbs as well and have even found, with a previous car, that the garage at the time put the bulb in wrong. It should have been impossible, due to the type of fitting, but I ended up with rear light and brake light reversed on one side.…[Read more]
