@avant-garde ok first of all I'm exhausted by just reading what you get done in that short period of time 🤣. Secondly I'm impressed with how well organised you are and that you know what you are doing and just go and get it done.

Op shop volunteers are some of the nicest people to chat to, love how you say ones quiet and one has no filter, really just shows how we all have different personalities.

You sound like me, when I go to the shops and if a certain area is messy I'll stand there and tidy things up until it looks neat. I also find things that have been put in wrong places and take them back to where they belong.

I love how organised you are and could imagine it would be frustrating when things are thrown out of whack like someone hogging all the machines.

@Former-Member they say I should volunteer there but it's too high risk for me given some of the people in the community, it is my kind of job though, also can't be on my feet for hours at a time.

Dinner tonight was bbq pork Bahn mi that I paid $5 for and got some strawberries for $2 also. Today's deck is whisky themed playing cards, they're putting an order in for the garden themed ones to complete my set. I almost have all the gentlemen's hardware decks now, they didn't know about the bbq or the garden ones.

The no filter volunteer was taking the garbage out as I drove past and so I beeped at her after telling her the type of car I drive and so maybe now she'll actually remember!

I actually find it a lot easier to strike up conversation with people in the community and in my day to day than I do with people at church.

@avant-garde volunteer work is very rewarding. I'm the same with not being able to be on my feet for long periods of time.

Dinner sounds yummy, and strawberries aswell, delicious. I love collecting different decks of cards, I have so many but they are scattered throughout my house so trying to find some when I want to play is almost impossible.

You never know maybe now she will actually remember or maybe she just thought you were some random trying to get her attention 🤣

It's funny how some people we can talk to easily whereas others it's harder.

@Former-Member

I have over 400 different decks of playing cards. Old tape cassette things actually fit most decks perfectly, I shall take a photo of mine, the rest are in storage.

@avant-garde wow that's impressive. I would probably only have around 50 different sets floating around. Never thought of using cassette cases to store them though so that's a great idea.

@Former-Member

They're old cassette drawers

@avant-garde that's an amazing collection and I can see some awesome sets in there. Thankyou for sharing

@Glisten I don't know that she has a disorder, I think she's just a bitch. She doesn't like to work at relationships, I should have seen that in her relationships with her father from whom she was estranged and her ex husband. She didn't want to have to work at anything so she didn't.

Reading that article though I think she might fit into the vulnerable narcissist category.

Either way she is the loser. And so are the kids.

Thinking of you

@PeppyPatti Goddaughter was and no doubt still is wrapped up in her mother. Godson was a people pleaser. He would say what his mother and sister wanted him to say but with me he was honest because he knew I was his safe haven.

This all happened 20 months ago, I am on the other side now, finally clean. I miss my Godson desperately and pray for him regularly. I miss my Goddaughter but not the bitchy brat her mother turned her in to the last 12 months we were together. I pray for her also.

I pray for ex friend and have forgiven, however it's a daily thing, like being an addict. It's one day at a time and some days I don't feel like forgiving. And that's okay.

I am at peace but know the bumps in the road will happen and I will cry and miss the kids. And want to cause not nice things to happen to their mother.

I am going to get a tattoo to celebrate being clean in April. By then it will have been 2 years since I fell apart and came back to tell the tale.

And I've no doubt there will be more Sane plants in my yard by then too 😁
