Am Not Coping

Hi @Adge, what shows do you like on TV? I can watch a bit of 'trash' but don't really watch TV that much at all. More into the computer.

Edit: @utopia, that is a scary story. The likes of which, sadly, a lot of women have experienced in one way or another. Glad you had your wits about you in a big way that day.

Just popping in to drop off some snacks for the party that seems to be developing in the Octagonal Room this afternoon... Enjoy!!!!!

Thanks, @Zoe7. I'm going for some of the fruit and especially the grapes as we speak.

There's a special bowl of cat food for Alice in her corner also @Mazarita

@Zoe7, I can see she's found it already and is looking very pleased. How's it going with you today, Zoe? I hope the after effects of the concussion have subsided.

Hi @Mazarita - I actually still have a bit of a headache - it comes and goes more now though rather than being constant. Still a little hazy and tired - that could also be still adjusting to the meds. I have been a bit flat the last few days but haven't got any worse so I see that as a positive - haven't really wanted to interact with anyone much on here so have popped in a couple of times but not stayed for long.

Have you recovered from being sick yourself or still getting there?

@Zoe7, I think you and I may be feeling a bit similar in some ways. I'm sick today again, this time something with the belly. Some cold symptoms still lingering, like not being able to hear out of one ear. Bit of a patched up puddy tat today. It's good that you recognise when it's helpful or maybe not to be interracting on the forum.

@Zoe7, sorry for the fast departure, but companion has just suggested we go for a walk and I think it would do me good to do that. So will catch up with you soon. Sending gentle hugs.

oooohhhhhh - what a horrible thing to happen- that was quick thinking telling him you had a terrible disease - that should scare people

I have been to St Helens - 1993 actually - our paths nearly crossed - howboutdat!!!! - and it is very remote and lonely on that neck of the woods

I am careful travelling around - as I have done for years - I would not get out of my car and walk in such lonely places - a woman alone is vulnerable - a woman with children is a bit safer because any one watching would be likely to think there has to be a man where there are children

Still - I have seen some wonderful places when I drove all over Victoria - always watching, careful that I never stayed in one place for long - always had a reliable car

Actually I think I grew eyes in the back of my head - I felt like that -

My closest encounter of the most dangerous kind was in a suburban train in broad daylight when a man started to get too friendly - and he asked me where I was getting out - and I told him the station one past mine - and it didn't look suspicious when I collected myself quickly and jumped out of the train just as it was ready to leave.

I ran all the way home - I was so freaked - about 2 miles - taking short cuts across vacant land - wow - I did not feel safe until I was at home

Women should not have to worry about things like this - but we do - just because some men think they have the right - and they don't

I am glad both of us got out of these things safely
