In case you want an update: my friend is still my friend. She isn’t too angry with me and has forgiven me. We still talk all the time and plan to meet on Thursday in town. She was discharged from hospital a few days after the incident [she was attacked]. She still has issues – as we all have – but I am there for her. I also spoke to my dad about…[Read more]

Just to note: I am not overweight, overweight. And I don’t overeat and am not greedy. I just respect my body and don’t abuse it with diets and diet pills, etc. Eating is for health: but not with the aim of losing weight.

Some people are meant to be curvy and that is what is beautiful. Nicki Minaj is a big woman, yet incredibly attractive. I think…[Read more]

I don’t like the Christmas crowds either, TestDummyC. I still go to all the shops, but I don’t like it. I am not a crowd person: I never will be.

Anyhow, there is a chance my income could be stopped. I can’t go into details. But I am dead if I lose my income.

Money could well be very too tight to mention this Christmas. And I must admit, I am…[Read more]

I see what you’re saying SpinningJen: I have made no money from my poetry and other books. But I still write poems – although I have not written any short stories for a long time – and put in 100% effort. Creative writing comes from enjoyment and just wanting to create something. If I wrote for money, I would’ve given up writing years ago. I have…[Read more]

Thank you, Rachel! I will reply as soon as I can.

The word intelligence is a bit vague. Because everyone is intelligent: including people with disabilites, people with mental health problems and everyone else. It is subjective.

Still, I rate my intelligence highly. However, I would like to be a genius at mathematics. Yes: really.

That’s awful, cassandra. The nurse was awfully clumsy. Having to have that kind of treatment repeated is horrible.

I have had blood tests. In fact, I’ve had more blood tests than I can count on both hands. They’re awful but I turn away when the nurse draws the blood. Still, it has to be done if I want the doctor to treat me.

You’ve got my…[Read more]

Brilliant, juliaschaefer! It is good to enjoy your work.

Having a job you’re happy with is more important than having a larger paycheck. You spend your whole life at work: why do it just for money? Choose the lesser paid job and have a job you’ll love.

A little wisdom.

Health should be priority: not slim for fitting fashion. So it is great that you’re fit & healthy, cassandra. Getting over such an awful illness is wonderful and I am glad you’re feeling better. Weight can often be affected by illness: my sister had a virus and lost a fair amount of weight. She had to have 7 vials of blood taken from her arm in…[Read more]

I agree, cassandra: if having faith helps someone get through tough times in life, that is their prerogative. But it wouldn’t be right for them to force their beliefs onto others. I have my own beliefs, but I would never vocalize them or tell someone they have to think or believe the same. Beliefs should be personal: not something to be forced onto others.

I am working, so money is in constant supply. But I can’t help wanting to earn more. Having more money would help enormously. I need to pay my sister $300. I need to pay my council tax. I need to pay for a new coat. I need to pay for lunches out. I need to pay for more Christmas presents. I need to pay for craft fairs this Christmas. I really do…[Read more]

It isn’t actually my birthday until December. But thank you all for the early Happy Birthday wishes!

I am very much looking forward to my birthday. I am going out with my family to celebrate. We are going out for a meal, you see. Plus, my brother might be visiting then and will go out for the meal with us.

Anyhow, I AM loving my new Boombox. It…[Read more]

I love mornings in winter time, when I’m in bed awake and know I don’t have to go out. I just sit in a warm room and drink my caffetterie coffee.

Mornings spent out in the cold, I do not like. But I still go to work, in spite of the cold weather. Still, I’m only a morning person when indoors!

I have never been able to do this. To be honest, it makes me uncomfortable to try to raise my eyebrow. I can’t click my fingers, either!

The brain is an incredible self-aware machine and – even today – science does not yet fully understand it. And will we ever? Maybe there are reasons behind why people could be reincarnated. Not everyone believes in the soul, but I do. All my brain really knows is itself: and has its own functions. Thoughts and emotions dominate me and I am too…[Read more]

Thank you, TestDummyC!

I agree, TestDummyC: money itself is not evil. It is how it is used that determines whether someone is “evil” or not. Just a tangent: being evil – to me – is deliberately hurting others for my own gain. I am not evil for being able to pay the rent, when someone out there is homeless. I would not give up my home to someone else. It is like I…[Read more]

I value my kindness.
