I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

How has your day been @Former-Member.?
thanks for the comments re mine. I wish that it was possible to have these days more often. It's a friend I haven't seen for 6 months and we had the most perfect day here weatherwise. I hope it can carry some momentum to help get me through the next few days. 💜🤗

@Former-Member - myself and hubby are going to a friends place for a group dinner celebration on Christmas Eve. We really enjoy their company so am looking forward to it - somewhere I can sit back relax and laugh the New Year in 🙃🙃🙃🙃
My day was a mixture of drama with daughter and relaxing in air conditioning whilst cross stitching my Angel project. Up and down today but feel more relaxed now. Great how you caught up with a friend after not seeing each other for 6 months. Must of had a lot to catch up on 😄

@utopia I know my daughter can create mountains to climb 😬 That's one I am keen to move. That is not the only thing I would move if I was meditating on an ants nest 😜

Nope, I think anxiety is quite justified if one is nobbled by an ants nest :ok_hand:🐜🐜🐜😎. You do deserve a medal @utopia
My daughter has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and bi-polar/PTSD. More a serious note, she has been sexually assaulted and abused by people. But she continues to allow it. She had a wonderful loving, nurturing childhood so I don't understand why her self esteem is low - but she was an only child (other children not living with us) and was bullied.
Sometimes she can be fine - then just snaps with horrific mood swings. Mainly due to abusive boyfriend. Why does she still speak to him?

@utopia That's ok. I have a small geek that lives in me. I used to be abreast of tech but haven't followed stuff for ages. My kids had to teach me how to use their Netflix using an Xbox controller, there's a laugh right there 😁
Basically when you go to google something I think there is meant to be three or four dots in a vertical line in the top right hand corner and if you tap on that a drop down menu should appear. One of the options should say request desktop site. Then if you are familiar with the desktop site you use it as normal but I'm thinking tech minded teens will sort this in 2.5 seconds.
How has your day been?
