I don’t watch Holby City, so missed it, but with work I came across people with all manner of conditions which didn’t help with living in society.

I like that. It is a dress I would wear, although personally more likely as a skirt and top and wear the top outside the skirt to lower the waistline. Yes, I would agree that a belt would effectively do a similar thing. To me, it does give the look of a high waist, but the photo looks to be taken from a low angle so making it appear more-so than…[Read more]

Forgive me for playing ‘Devil’s Advocate’ here, but how would you view someone who is intersex? Ok, transexual people have made a choice of sorts, but intersex people are between the devil and the deep blue sea and are being unfairly treated by people’s unfeeling attitudes.

Hi, I don’t have any first hand experience, although have a stepson who I think drinks too much so I can see things a little. From experience in seeing how others have gone I think things are repairable, but it may well not be easy. Your partner needs to see that he is making things worse by drinking and is steadily increasing his health risks. He…[Read more]

That is the main reason why I don’t have a pet (probably dog). I get engrossed in what I am doing with my chores and hobbies so it may well not get the attention it deserves. The way I look at thing, the wildlife living around are my friends, and although I don’t treat them as pets, I do communicate with them in a friendly way, but they are…[Read more]

Hello Greensun. Welcome to the forum.

It’s a bit variable here as it waxes and wanes, but there is a steady following. I love dogs, as well as puppies. I don’t have a live one, but several cuddly ones lol.

Call me Jen. It’s nice to meet you 🙂

I cannot better what has been said here except to say that as life has taught me, circumstances change, and people change. The problem comes in making the decision that it’s time to move on. It’s always hard and hurts me to think.

I remember Sonic. I used to play occasionally although it was mainly the kids. They have left now, but we still have the Megadrive and Sonic games. I remember Jungle Strike too! They seem very dated now. My son still plays, I think, but he went more into fantasy.

Christmas is typically quiet for us now the children have left home. They don’t live just round the corner so getting together does not happen often. My mother usually goes to my brother’s as she is partly disabled and could not easily get upstairs in our house to use the loo.

Thank you everyone.It has been a bit of a climb. Whether good or bad, I find it it takes lots of practice and opening your eyes to really see things rather than glance and assume.

I don’t think I would go as far as poisonous snakes, at least the lethal kinds. I can picture too many opportunities for accidents, although I am not petrified of them as such. I do think that these constrictors which some people keep here are dangerous too though. We only have one type of wild poisonous snake, which is normally not lethal, so…[Read more]

I remember those times too. Dad used to put up strings across the wall for lines of cards as there was not enough room on the top of the sideboard etc for them. We did similar when the kids were young as they would exchange cards with their friends. I think it peaked when they were little as, when I was young, few children sent more than two or…[Read more]

I am not to keen on being in an airliner as it just seems like a big bus with restricted view, and when it is turbulent it’s a bit like a very bumpy road. Some years ago though I did have the opportunity to be a passenger in a small aeroplane which did aerobatics. It was absolutely fantastic, and my fear of heights went away totally. I was totally…[Read more]

I also give spiders names at times Mamie, but have never had a tarantula. I don’t think I would go that far although it would not bother me too much.

Hi Cass,

Welcome back!

Too old? Well I am not saying lol but I am older than 52 lol. As they say, you are as old as you feel, and it matters not. I love to chat with anyone friendly of any age. We all have ideas and opinions to share.

You are lucky to get a list Mikki. My family all have no idea, and I have to keep my ears open all year for helpful hints. With my son and daughter in law having their first baby (my first grandchild) this December things will likely get rather complicated with them living some distance away.

Do they celebrate the New Year or Chinese New Year Bunny?

Thank you. So was I until I took lessons. I was very nervous in class for a long time as I thought my drawings were bad. They still are not brilliant at times, but I enjoy it.

Apart from the finishing touches I have completed another portrait. It is taken from a very old photograph of an unknown girl. This one has taken me quite some time as I have put it aside from time to time. I enjoyed painting it though and am pleased with the result. Do any of our recent new members enjoy art and have things to show here?
