Everything Birds

@Shaz51 I'll tell you a secret to do with birds? I'm quite scared of them!

Hello @Adge

My yearly visit perhaps?!

In response to Yo I hear that you like forms etc

I believe that they have a whole department with an enlightened Minister appointed to oversee just for forms

They then have administration officers..... quality and assurance section......

They cannot be contacted of course as they are far too important and knee deep in paperwork

How does that relate to the saving trees... environment department?

Oh yes they do not communicate to each other....

They have also enlisted lived experience staff as there are so many who have vast experience in completing forms

I heard a rumour I think..... there might be a special royal investigation into missing forms....

etc etc etc

Never lose your sense of humour Adge

It is yours and yours alone and keeps you unique

stay safe

might write next year if I remember the forums

I am reminded of them if I receive a notification from someone who usually tags about 50 people

Hi @Sophia1

Hey @Shaz51

Yes those pesky forms...

I'm in the process of having to Lodge an NDIS Change of life Circumstances Request for a funding Review Form..

What a mouthful that is.

I don't yet understand the NDIS Review process either.

I have to Request a Review, because NDIS have only funded my Supports for 1 year, then they stop.

As for Tags you mentioned @Sophia1 They really do work to get people onto the Forums.

It's thanks to Shaz51 Tagging me often that I keep coming back onto Forums to find out what it's about...

Adge

Hello @Adge

Unfortunately from what I have heard from many NDIS is like a fortress to navigate

Not made easy possibly to cut down on applicants and or those needing reviews

Yes @Shaz51 is wonderful at tagging people

My way of connecting annually or therabouts

I have also now met @Mustang67

Ooops @Adge

My techno skills have not improved in the least

I had not finished the previous message

Wanted to include also

have now met @Bunniekins @MissGremlin and found again @Oaktree @TAB

Lovely to know that there is always a welcome back no matter how long the absence isn't it.

take care @Adge

I am short on words these days

Sophia

@Sophia1 thanks for the tag 😊

@Sophia1 Sophia1 you might remember me as greenpea? or maybe not it has been awhile since we have spoken. you used to post cow photos for my middle son i think a long time ago. xx

Hi @Sophia1 how are you going? As good as you can be I hope.

What sort of things are you interested in? I am interested in coin collecting and spending time with my cat, that finally after 6 years without her, I am back with her again. I think I sent you the link for the cat page, if I didn't just let me know and I can direct you there if you like.

Would love to hear more about you.

Enjoy your day.

Hello @Mustang67

A surprise leapt out from the page

Somebody out there wants to know more about me

This entails reading my words, absorbing and hearing, listening, noticing

Sound wishy washy??

Real world is so rushed and pressured even the people in the medical world who should be the ones to take notice are caught up in themselves

Even when we have problems we can still notice others

A beautiful cat reunited.

I had three cats now one who is extremely spoilt

He is not overly affectionate but picks up when I am not at my best and in his own way is there for me.

He is very deaf but his senses are there along with mine

I feel that he has ancient wisdom and is a protector

I used to write on "living with ourselves" which lives somewhere.......not sure

That would give you an insight perhaps

I love nature

I love depth in people

I love people with differences like myself as their differences are different again to mine

I abhor labels, diagnoses even though needed in some instances

I love silence

I love gentleness compassion and listening

I am very curious

I ask thousands of questions

I am an enigma and that is fine by me

Does that help?

I do not visit often but try to get back to people who tag me

There are a few long term members who still keep in touch which is lovely

Oh I love writing but not in the way that most do

I write when my mind tells me that it is overflowing and I sense there is a need to put the whatever on paper

I prefer to handwrite

I do not want to write any books or publish anything.

Oh I also write great epic responses!!!!

Nice to meet you

Sophia

Keep on being you

Thank you @Sophia1 for sharing some information about yourself.

I totally agree that the real world is so rushed and pressured even the people in the medical world who should be the ones to take notice are caught up in themselves. Since spending time in hospital when my dad was sick and my various stays due to a few gallstone attacked, I have lost faith the medical world. Especially in hospital, they don't seem to communicate with each other, and things get missed.

I think because we have gone through some very bad times, we take more time to care for others, so they don't have to go through similar, or just to make their day a bit brighter. We are a very caring bunch.

The reason I asked if you have pets, is so I could direct you to the cat discussion, where we share photos of our companions and discuss all things to do with cats. If you are interest, press on this link following. The Sane Cattery Because normal is overrated My cat is similar, she can definitely tell when I am down and used to come and lay on me. Unfortunately, I have just had to move into a caravan which is on my mum's property. And at the moment, my cat hates the caravan. But she will get used to it eventually. I love that every time I walk inside mum's house, she comes running up to me. But that could also have something to do with I provide the kangaroo mince that she loves. Lol

Maybe your cat comes from a long line of Ancient Egyptian cats. They were highly revered as sacred protectors, symbolizing divine guardianship and safety. What is your cat's name? Not that he can hear it. Lol

We also have a music space where we share our favourite songs, or a song that describes how we are feeling, if you are musically inclined. A song that describes your current emotional state

I have never heard of "living with ourselves". What did that entail?

I also love nature. When I am in nature, I feel like I am at home. I have chronic back issues at the moment, so I haven't been in nature for a while, but I do go to a look out that overlooks a nice beach and have a cup of coffee, when feeling stressed or just need to get away from life for a little while. Well, I used to until I moved.

I had to look up what "I abhor labels, diagnoses even though needed in some instances" was as I have never heard it put that way before. Thank you for teaching me something. I love to soak up information and learn new things.

It depends where I am at with my mental health in regard to silence. If I am suffering from a PTSD episode, I need noise and something to take my mind away from my thoughts. When I am like this, I usually watch movies or tv shows on my phone just to keep my mind busy and thinking of something else. And this usually happens at nighttime when I am trying to sleep.

I could just tell that you are a gentle, compassionate person and that fact that you listen is an added bonus.

Like you I am very curious about all different sort of things and if I don't know about it, I ask questions or look it up.

Thank you so much for taking the time to response to my questions, so I can get to know you a bit better. I feel a connection with you, even though we haven't really communicated that much.
