Introduction

Hi guys I am new here but just skipped over introducing myself and threw myself straight into the forums so let's rewind a minute.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder in 1990. It changed my life and not in a good way. My mother said "now you will never do anything with your life" and my Aunt said "we should put her in an institution". It was right then that I decided that I would live the best life I possibly could with this illness. I since met and married my husband and we had 3 gorgeous children who have all now reached adulthood. I have been in and out of hospital a lot since around 2008 and somewhere along the way had BPD added to my diagnosis. I enjoy art and crafts, playing computer games and watching tv. I was working with a psychologist and we were going to work on childhood trauma as I grew up in an abusive household but I kept getting sick so we are currently on a break. Not sure if I want to go back to therapy at this point in time. Not sure what else to add so I will just leave it here. Feel free to ask questions x

@LeChuck In the desert you can remember your name. . . . "America"

Wishing wells in rain ravaged ravines now parched of wanting eyes. . .

A cold pail of silence, thats all we ask for. . .

@LeChuck @Oaktree No rule says you have to tell anyone anything.

What's truly your secret burial ground, let em stay buried I say, I let the sand go through

the sieve, The big chunks of ice, . . . there just for me. Keeps me frosty.

Soon as you think you owe someone, your no longer free.

I'm happy with whatever a mate chooses to bring to a B B que.

I'm not going to say don't get lost out their. No fun in that . . hey.

That’s true @LeChuck

You don’t have to share your story at all.
Wishing you happy trails…

Hi @tonys

What state do you live in? I am assuming you are over East somewhere. How are you this evening? Do you have a bbq with the pickers every night? I love a bbq but even I might get sick of it if it’s every night.

Hi @Oaktree What state do I live in. . . . Inebriated , manic, comatose , frenetic, dishevelled, Bingo. .! thats a full house. Pay the man. . Just kidding.

N S W , northern rivers , Were you Adelaide or Perth. Sorry mate I forgot.

Yes B B que most nights, You know how it is. Back packers, Few from overseas, so to get them back each year, bonfire and guitars, and awful singing and selfies. Give em some fun.

Funny thing is, most nights we have fish, because Ive got a couple of good dams and the river.

Just happens, last night we had a few roo tails in the coals, and the butcher is the book keepers ex, so we get looked after. B B q is convenient. Foil, paper, plates etc.

I leave em to it after a bit and do a bit of escaping on this new toy. Computor is still a novelty.

So tell me something. anything, Something you want to do that will.

Make the papers. stir undertakers, leave a blush on maidens and quakers.

Oh @tonys

I am feeling sad. I have come across posts from an old friend. It made me feel so sad. I treated her badly when I was unwell and she didn’t deserve it. She is a friend of yours actually.

I live in the Northern suburbs of Perth.

Now let me think of something to tell you. I don’t know that it’s possible to make you blush! I like to talk about intimate things with my kids and make them squirm. I don’t give them details of anything but I ask them embarrassing questions lol. Two of my kids are on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum so I am curious about how it all works. Funnily enough one child is very forthcoming but the other one is not.
An example question is as follows;

So you know that you and your girlfriend are both bi? How does that work now that you are together. Will you both never have same sex relations again?

My child is a boy.

How did I go? Did I make you blush???

Re: Introduction

I can relate to living in all those states you mentioned first @tonys

Now to ask for farming advice. What’s a good variety of heirloom tomato that I could easily grow in WA with salads being its intended use? Maybe the occasional sanga?

Re: Introduction

Hi @Oaktree . Well done . No , not blush, But smile , and think. Paydirt.

L G B T Q I X Y Z. . . Whatever comes after that. well that where I begin.

Mate, I tend to trust diverse people more. They are always more accepting of me.

That they can freely express to you, speaks volumes about your style.

But a big thing for me is that you are able to recognise when you have hurt someone feel

remorse and well, If your pants are down on the forum, thats the makings of a good

apology I reckon.

Think I know who you mean. Trust in the theatre of daily warfare is so hard.

Thinking machines, lack the loyalty and purity of the weapons they hold.

Our safety's off for just one day. . . and Its green on green. Then the aftermath.

Even when she's not around, she has always been the "the man next to me" in the trench.

Give it time mate. . .

I ran out to rescue someone and took a heap of friendly fire, and no apology ever came

or ever will, Few can admit they are wrong. Fewer can say sorry, Gutsy move.

Your my mate too. Your kind to me, and I'm known for being a loyal grunt.

Sooo Back to Perth. Hard to believe , but I never made it there. Only state without a wanted poster.

Well your deal mate. My legs are crossed. tonys moonbase 1
