  1. Oh I'm sorry to read your mother is unwell. I'm glad she is receiving good care. Re taking care of yourself, I'm doing couple if easy things that help a lot. I make big pit of vegetable and lentil soup. Make sure I bring to the boil each day and just add a few more veggies here and there. Also, buy deluxe muesli, add some fruit juice and keep in fridge. It's very nice with fruit and Greek Style yoghurt and very filling. It gives a long way and very healthy.
  2. Awww Mrs Darcy, love reading about you and your hubby and so glad you finally met him!
  3. Oh, The cap came of fuel tank if my lawn mower a few weeks ago and when I went looking for it, I realised the bits of plastic I found were from the cap - I had run over it. No luck I. Finding a replacement locally so I will have to contact the manufacturer. Luckily the grass is mostly dead ATM. My little black pony likes to eat dandelions!
  4. Bet he has a great time. Yes I worry when mine is away too.
  5. Oh that is such a weird thing to do. D doesn't go to church, but he would probably do similar. A couple of times he dropped me off at the hospital when I had day surgery, but I don't recall him hanging about. In fact, I recall at times when they were setting me up at the hospital for surgery and different tests. There would be this largish room, and I remember when I would be sitting there getting the Canula put in my hand. There would always be an older couple, and the husband would be hanging about doing things for the wife or being affectionate. I always thought that was so lively, but certainly not the usual and how blessed they were. If I am ever with a person again, I want it to be with somebody like that.
  6. Big Hug Cynder. I'm sorry you are going through this.
  7. I'm only meeting my son's girlfriend tomorrow and they have gone out for over a year and lived together a while. They both live 3 hours away. He did same thing with previous girlfriend who he lived a lot. I wondered if he was embarrassed of me or something. Still, I can understand how she feels and it would need to be something to consider
  8. Will your sister be living closer to you or your parents home Lum?
  9. Haha. Sorry, I know they have been naughty boys, but that is so typical of teenage boys.
  10. Hi Lum, it is early fall here, but we call it autumn. I love autumn and spring because we still have some nice clear days without the extremes of temperature and it gets cool at night. I think most people, myself included, sleep better when it's just a bit cool. Well, by our standards it's cool at around 7-8 degrees at night. Where I live, we get most of our rain in winter although in my birth state, we get it in summer.
  11. I'm so sad. You have hurt me many times, but this time, I truly don't want to be with you again - ever. I'm moving on.
  12. We have had a few nice days too. So good when you can spend some decent time outdoors.
  13. Hugs Reinvent. My concern for you is that over time, bit by bit, this guy has the potential to isolate you from others. I know you're a smart lady and aware of this sort of thing. I think you are trying to be very fair to him, but that you know inside that he is not who you want a long-term relationship with. So glad you have a good bunch of friends who are very social.
  14. I'm so sorry Lum. My family had to make that decision for my mother and I know how hard that is. Hugs.
  15. You're doing great Cynder. I checked out the UU Church where I live, but it's a couple of hours away. If it was closer,m I would check it out myself. I did visit a spiritualist church quite a few years ago, but wasn't quite what I had hoped . . . But it was ok. ALSO STUDIED BUDHISM WHICH I like, but I likely would never officiate membership.
  16. Being an older woman myself, I wonder if it's just that we have a greater awareness of potential issues in relationships. When I look ba pick on relationships I had when I was younger, I wonder what I was thinking, why I didn't recognise red flags - actually, I think I chose to turn a blind eye to a lot if things. I'd say a lot of us become more and more discerning as we get older, especially when we enjoy being single.
  17. You're doing great Cynder. Your video made me smile!
  18. Glad to read you are fully recovered now alum.
  19. You're doing great Cynder! You can paint your own walls purple if you want
  20. I think I remember now Lum what you ate talking about though I never heard a name put to it. Didn't he used to go to the desert alone and there was also fasting involved?
  21. I can so identify this. . . This morning I feel like Holly Golliath (Breakfast at Tiffanys). I've realised why I am like this . . . But also that it really is okay to have a life that does not involve intimate relationships. I can understand your feeling of suffocation and entrapment.
