Because I can just drop a summer dress over my head and be dressed in a jiffy.

That’s a while! Maybe it will soon be time to order next year’s summer dresses lol

I used to take blood from a pin prick on the thumb. Only a little capilliary tube full though for blood gas tests. In some areas they used to take it from and ear lobe.

I think it is mainly down to hormones. Look through nature. In many animal packs the male has a surrounding of females which he guards jealously. Having many women makes a man feel like he is a successful lover. Although our society is against it, it is natural in the animal kingdom for the stronger dominant male to be more successful in…[Read more]

The look I hate to see is when you say something or ask and they shy away both verbally and bodily so you really know they don’t like it but seem afraid of telling the truth which is what I really want. It has gradually turned me away from many people as it is so negative.

I think I have had near misses and these moments of enlightenments in my life too! Not to belittle them at all as they may be gifts from god but my philosophy is to live in harmony with life and nature as much as possible. In that way there are many moments which are hard to understand but beautiful.

I get your meaning there Kitty but always…[Read more]

I prefer the truth in most cases. With years of experience meeting many different people I can usually spot a lie instantly and it does tend to cloud my thinking as, like Test, I am a fairly logical person who acts on information. If it is incorrect then things get complicated and doubts and suspicion form. It can get complicated when people do…[Read more]

Luckily I have had few back issues. I did have problems when my son was a baby with my elbow / arm due to carrying but I knew someone who had similar problems so I recognised it and was able to sort. At work I did develop a knee problem due to carrying heavy bags, or more correctly holding them and chatting at the door when leaving a patient. It…[Read more]

I am sorry to hear Cassandra. My only tip would be to lead an active a life as possible. My approach is to utilise my muscles as much as I am able. I used to dance quite a bit (just disco things) and often wanted to be a ballet dancer so was used to bends and high kicks (I used to dream so included such things lol). These days, being more careful…[Read more]

I would think it likely that the stress of childbirth and subsequent early life probably took it out of her physically too. I have very mixed feelings about IVF in this crowded world.

I don’t get three hours either although do like to lie down on my bed and read a few chapters late afternoon / early evening when I can, which is usually several times a week. It just relexes me after the day’s stresses. I find that, if I am not careful, I just keep on going until bedtime. It helps well with sleep as I just crash out but it wears…[Read more]

Looking around there are various specialist forums for particular subjects or functions but I think Facebook is the most general. I have found that the social chat on specialist forums tends to cater for a small subset of the population, as one might expect.

I am glad you enjoy your dancing Noeleena. Don’t let the men who won’t talk put you off. That is just nasty!

You watched it too much and wore it out Kitty 😀 😀 😀

That sounds good though, very kind as they only usually have a year guarantee.

I like watches too and have several so can accessorise. The trouble is time does not go for too long before one requires a new battery. I buy them by the pack and change them myself.

I cannot think of anything of note although there have been little things over the years. I suppose it was maybe my earlier days in healthcare when the group I worked with were part of some world leading research into support for disabled people. I did get my name as an add to one or two reasearch papers. Various cuts came along and sadly changed…[Read more]

I cannot keep up with your pace Kitty but have just read Agatha Chritie’s “Hallowe’en Party’ over the past few days and now about to read a Colin Dexter Inspector Morse. Last week I got a couple of omnibusses so have six stories to read although I think I have read one before.

I love reading too!

That’s good Kitty. We need to do what we can. My approach is to start by doing what I can in the garden. Ok only one medium tree but I have several little ones too and it is a tiny garden. I think everyone with the space should help as they can. I feel we need to integrate with nature as well as keeping those forests that still exist.

I probably could but am unlikely to. When I am out I don’t drink at all as I am usually driving and so avoid any alcohol at all.

Fantastic news Kitty 🙂
