Re: My Place

I hear you on that @Oaktree ..  And see your thinking.   My shrink always said to me that if you give someone ice creams when they complain,   you run the risk of training them to complain.  

Mind you,   he was known as a hard man.  But I have seen it happen with ,  'some'   the nations children

who then grow up to still be adult children,  looking for a mother to marry.  These  "big'   babies don't get the outcomes they just assumed they are entitled to,  we end up with record domestic violence. 

Of course I'm generalizing,  but I now have 4 woman that come and go from here that all were 

victims of the.    the  'Ice cream'   generation.   How many times  do you see the mothers of criminals 

say . . .   My boy wouldn't do anything wrong . . .    I guess thats why I would rather point out a positive

side to a negative,  than just toss one more get well card on the pile.  But  I do think a mix of both is important.

I'm not worried at all @Oaktree .   I have in the past had help regarding posting pics and protecting my privacy.  Also updates on actions taken against 2 members that were abusive to me.  sent in private emails.   I new I 

would not get feedback because I was well intentioned in all my correspondence.

Is it perfect.   NO,   but its about the overall flavour and intent,   and I'm never  ever abusive.   hey my friend.  Your a good example.

 

Your day may have got rained out,  but you took what you could not change,  and made it into something better. .    @Glisten   @SmilingGecko  and others on this thread,  and you,   set the bar high for keeping a positive mood and saving us all from endless drear n fog.  It keeps me coming back.   

Think thats why I like the poetry thread.   We can channel things into something there,   call it a picture n walk away.  And thanks by the way to Sane for showing tolerance in that thread.

 

Thankyou for you kind support sis.   Hug to you and hubby,  Have you had a look at a motor home ?

I'm making dinner for everyone so I better start scrubbing  spuds..     Kind thoughts           tns.

Re: My Place

Well said @tonys 

It’s the thieves that steal from the vulnerable. The ones that are only sorry because they got caught. The intimidators, the bullies. 
Being mean to someone makes them feel better.

A pox on all of them

Re: My Place

Hey @Glisten @tonys 

 

I appreciate the support, sometimes I feel a bit sensitive I guess and if someone says something I second guess myself.

 

@tonys 

 

No not selling and buying a motor home or anything smaller. We live in a 3x1 and we are lucky enough to have the mortgage paid off. In WA at the moment there is a housing crisis so you actually can’t buy a house or even rent one very easily. Eventually I want to sell up and move to the country but the house needs fixing and I don’t have the money. Mid year I am expecting a 20k compensation payment from the Army hopefully so with that I will fix the roof, get solar and aircon. That will be awesome for next summer so I really hope that happens. Keep your fingers crossed for me

Re: My Place

Thankyou for that  @Glisten .   Yes . . .    well I do wonder if we need to lock the parents up as well as their,  tantrum winging siblings.   We are a lucky n wealthy nation.  Are we raising a generation of entitled whingers.    In a percentage of people,  I think yes.  Then I come across so many young kids that just blow me away. Kind,  brilliant minds,  and beautiful, hopeful,   eyes.   Its hard for me to get a fix on the way of things these days. 

 

@TAB   Having trouble getting your thread to work.  Took 5 minutes just to make a support turn blue.

and can't even get to the last page .  Anyway,  was just going to say, I know  I haven't commented on your 

course because I  know you'll do it in your sleep,  top the class,  and be home for cornflakes. 

Guess thats why your board.   You need a  'real' challenge.

Re: My Place

Hubby and I planted 5 more Brussel sprout plants and some rojo garlic cloves into another raised bed this afternoon. These Brussel sprout plants are about 2 weeks younger than my others and are much smaller right now. Hopefully they grow ok.
