My dad recently got an aged care assessment done ACAT through myaged care. Sometimes I feel a lot of people with problems need some help in their lives. Social worker can help. Mental health issues can really lead to a difficult life. As does chronic health issues. Make sure you reach out for things that might improve your life. @DownMoreThanUp @Appleblossom @ENKELI

@TAB yeah I got censored because I made a joke about pigs and politicians and it got edited.
I have spent money! I put some in my super, paid off my rates, oh and bought some trinkets.
Diamond stud earrings and a pearl ring. I have bipolar, it's in my nature to spend. I have to be really careful though, I'm likely to waste it if I am not monitored!
I also booked the cruise bestie and I are going on next month, dentist tomorrow - I am so lavish, spending money on my teeth ha ha!
There is a high end jeweller here in WA called Mazzuchellis, they have been around since 1903 when they started in our favourite town of Kalgoorlie. I made the mistake of going in to the store here in the 'Vegas and asking if they had any south sea pearls to match my pendant and earrings. They did.
@DownMoreThanUp I promised you a photo so here it is. It is larger than I wanted but I have grown quite fond of it now!

@Taali, long story short, I spent 10 years financially and emotionally supporting ex friend and her 2 kids (my Godson and daughter)after she left her husband. He was diagnosed with depression and she didn't want to deal with it. Then when the house we were renting was up for sale she decided that she wanted to move out without me. I continued supporting her financially while she settled in to the new rental and I moved back into my own house. Then out of the blue she wrote me a nasty message and cut me out of her and the kids' lives. I have tried reaching out a couple of times but she hasn't replied. Her daughter is the same and will use people just as her mother did. I pray for my Godson because he was a beautiful child who was neglected by his mother in favour of his sister and suffered after I left - getting expelled from his school (that I was paying for) because he was not getting the attention he craved. His mother would rather sit him in front of the TV or his iPad instead of spend time with him whereas he and I would play together, read, play games.
The kids will have been poisoned by their mother, father and fathers' girlfriend and I have no doubt I will never see them again. The hurt is slowly going away.
God puts people in your life for a reason, and He takes them away for a reason too.

Well you're the better person @ENKELI
She might not now or indeed ever give you the chance you deserve, but I am certain that you will find a way to cope.
You know why? 'coz you are you!
As for the kids they may wake up to her one day, but please don't invest your time and energy into worrying about it.
Take it easy breezy
Taali 💙
