I agree that keeping busy and active makes me happy too but it also often makes me very tired. I think I must be overdoing things at times. You don’t sound square Kitty lol.

I try to avoid politics as you an never tell who is manipulating who and often whether open enemies are really friends putting on an act. I think people at the top who abuse power need tough sentences but the old pals act, and people in power worried about how they would feel, generally limits such sentences to little or poor country officials who…[Read more]

I changed several times until finalising just after 30. When I left school I was not sure what to do and, being rather nerdy and studious, I was different than  my friends at the time. I cannot say that I have ever been totally set in any job as I am always interested in many things. A friend when we were on a course once said to me when my…[Read more]

I think it is a false assumption to think that superstars have confidence Kitty. If you look closely you will see many are insecure. They just get on with things and put on a show, but do sometimes go to pieces.Experience does build confidence though.  I remember, in the days when I gave the odd presentation too, that others who were fairly used…[Read more]

Things are getting a bit heated! Lets all calm down and not get into a fight. It’s like playing a game of ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors’ and someone trying to batter the paper with the stone. As such another way to look initially at the situation or process is those who is involved. Yes there are situations when men are stronger and others which most…[Read more]

Sending big hugs <3

I have not suffered from jetlag but do suffer somewhat with anxiety when I am extremely tired so I would say yes. Hormone swings do make things worse, in my opinion, and experience. Get some rest. You’ll feel better 🙂

Hi ruhaniyat. Welcome to the forum 🙂

We are a broad range of women here of all ages who would look forward to you joining in.

My username is from the cotton spinning machine ‘Spinning Jenny’ but I have taken it as from my middle name and that I am often in a spin lol.

Mostly yes! For so many reasons.

I must admit I don’t work on relationships as much as I used to. It is very easy to get taken advantage of. My outlook is usually very friendly to most everyone but I realised that it was becoming hard work to please people who are not really interested anyway.

It’s so sad when this happens but you were really in a no win situation.  It’s perhaps easier to just say ‘That’s life!’. In any close group of people relationship problems affect everyone in the group. You have made your point and I can see Jodie is upset but there is little more you can do. It won’t help to push anymore. She will get over it in…[Read more]

I don’t know mind maze Cassandra, but it does remind me of a set of puzzles which was called Pandora’s Box. It is the only game I have ever completed all levels on my own. It was simply a set of puzzles though, not a sim of any sort.

Years ago I used to like the Sims but have never seen Animal Crossing. I find I am too busy for these type of games as they take a while. My favourite used to be Settlers. I prefer simulator games rather than fast action.

I am not sure about this as our different perceptions on the world make me wonder whether we really want to be rich and powerful.

From another viewpoint, I have noticed quite a bit recently just how few women these days dress in a feminine manner. Yes there is mostly a feminine cut to the clothes but I sometimes feel out of place in a dress or…[Read more]

It’s good to have a way to break out from time to time Kitty. Sometimes I like to travel on the train to other places. It feels a lot more relaxing than driving.

Having a boy I have not looked closely at a Barbie since I was younger, but I have noticed with all things that quality has gone down, both in material and detail, price cutting for the market. This has happened with general clothing too. It is possible to go down to Primark and buy clothes for next to nothing, but they are very poor quality and…[Read more]

I use Facebook to keep in contact with old friends from work. I am also a member of one or two local groups. One of which is for nature and the enviroment in which people show their natural world photos and even daily dog walks lol. Those from other parts of the world I find very interesting, as well as the dogs. Many of my family don’t use…[Read more]

I will have a look Kitty. At school things were rather traditional with the Brontes and Shakespeare. I never took up literature, going more towards the sciences. I liked authors such as George Orwell. One of my favourite books is ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’. It now worryingly seems to be becoming fact.

I can be so abstract that people often don’t know how to react.I am one of those irritating people who often change their train of thought mid-sentence. Yes I like to look good and get on with people but I am often so engrossed in what I am doing that effort by anyone to diminish my personal power is effectively circumvented. Perhaps a no win…[Read more]

I just had to check and found out he is famous but, believe it or not, I have never heard of him before.

I was amused at times with a boss I had in my previous work. He was the agressive ‘macho’ male who tended to bully his way around but many people noticed that he was really afraid of women and had troubles with other managers. This was in the NHS is which one of the few places where women can and do progress upward more easily. There was one…[Read more]
