Hi 👋 @saltandpepper @Anastasia @Emelia8

Yeah I hear you @WIP start small, I'm sure you'll get to where you want to be, give it time. Not an easy thing to come back from hey? I'm not generally a social person, usually content being at home. But I guess that's changed a bit now that there's no one else here. Except now all my friends are loved up and shit. I'd go out on my own just to be around people but I don't live in the city. So yeah, hear you on the lonely front. And also had similar experience with GP trying to pry into what i do "for fun". There's nothing. Nothing=fun right now.
I'm glad you dropped by, and thanks for sharing with me, always here if you ever need a chat 👍

Tattoos? Gee @saltandpepper ... I have some, but really really want to get rid of them. I am just not a tattoo person I guess. Mine are medical ones unfortunately ... radiation guidance tatts. But I have seen some lovely tasteful tattoos on other people which I like. My husband had 4 tattoos, which he got when a young sailor overseas. He always regretted getting them ... a drunken mistake he considered them to be. Mind you .. they werent what I'd call tasteful.
Yeah .. you like my happy dance with pizza? Hope @Anastasia is having a pleasant evening with the family group.

Well they're blo*dy important tattoos you've got there @Emelia8 probably the most meaningful ones around I'd say. Could always get tattoos done over them or tuern them into something else if you like?
yeah a lot of people tend to regret it hey? I dunno, I've never been into appearance so it's not something that I'll imagine being bothered by. First one I got was when I was 19 on an impulse, still don't regret it. There's a story behind them.
i mean, i probably shouldn't say. But I've talked on here before about it, how i used to SH and it's still such a strong impulse I have. I'll book in for a tattoo instead if it starts playing on my mind too much.
Yeah i love a good dancing pizza @Emelia8 🍕 and yeah, hope she is too
