General chit chat

General chit chat

Hi@Faith-and-Hope, @utopia, @Mazarita

I'm still not very good at 'navagating' this site, maybe that's why I kept trying 'instant' chat sites - they seemed easier. But I like that messages can be checked, that it's not instant feels like some sort of barrier against instant shock I suppose - though I know this is a public Internet site so anyone can use it. I also think, though I hate the term Mental Illness, as I think it takes all the physical out of it, that the people that cause trauma probably suffer from it, so they would have just as much right to use it. But I feel a bit like typing I think, so I thought I might just blurb a little?
I've went away for a few days. I go every month. I visit the center of my Universe 🙂 The one person who has been there with/for me, their whole life & I believe will remain that way until I die 🙂 . . . & quite the large Family they have provided for me to share in 🙂 I go from, it almost seems like another Planet sometimes, my life is very quiet; to the center of my Universe, which includes 5 grand-children ranging in age from almost 2 to, going on 18; then there's the partner, the partners Parents and a large variety of friends 🙂 I often find myself thinking 'alein sound dimension' - there's so much noise on so many different levels! Every single one of them has every gadget known to mankind, and most of those gadgets make noise! And my World is a lot calmer, with a lot less going on - we're usually driving in the car, taking children to school, doing whatever shopping is necessary for the day in time for whatever seemingly endless appointment is due, . . . by the time my alarm goes off to make sure I wake up in time to get tired in time to go to sleep in time 😄 There's no way I could keep that pace up anymore! After a few days I find myself almost running away with my tail between my legs 🙂 But it's the perfect balance really, I do spend a lot of time alone - apart from my 3 furry, four-legged friends; but I am extremely lucky, my bond with my only child is of a strength I can't see breaking; I get a phone call or text every night & welcomed by a dozen open arms and smiling faces every month. I am lucky, I have a good life. Well, I think life is just a word, neither good nor bad. I have good experiences and I am happy 🙂

Here's a non-identifying picture of me too, from behind, feet in the water, taking in the ocean...

Hi @outlander, how are you going today?

Re: General chit chat

It's raining, it's {not really} pouring {more like sprinkling ;)}, the old ladies snoring! (ME snore . . . NEVER!}

She bumped her head on the back of the bed & she didn't want to get up in the morning! 😄

I didn't really bump my head . . . the young fella head-butted me! 😄 . . . and I got up anyhow 🙂 But it is raining - well sprinkling & that's good enough! 😄

I've got my thermal socks & a long sleeved dressing gown on . . . & my fingers are still cool 😄 😄 😄 I'm loving this!!! 😄

The dishwasher thing isn't happening for my Childs birthday, I've discovered yet another unpaid bill - an excess water one this time. The real estate agent won't even contact the property owners unless it's paid. Instead I'm going halves in a Smart watch, my childs partner having asked me for extra financial help to get over the birthdays - to the tune of $700. Yet again I heard the story that an account will be 'set-up' to start 'paying me back' some money; which over the past few years would be many thousands of dollars. I know it won't happen. It's not the money that bothers me so much, financial abuse can only occur whilst there's finances to abuse. What money I have will run out & that will stop. This feels like abuse to my love. So soon after the xmas kerfuffle.

Well, seems like there's still some undelying worries in my head. I'm off to the Center of my Universe tomorrow. I'm not ready in any way & don't feel the motorvation to get ready - I don't think I really want to go. I'll just stay 1 night, that's a lot of travelling.

Anyhow, Don't Worry - Be Happy 🙂

Re: General chit chat

Hi @Former-Member, @Bubbles3

Niqua, do you really HAVE to go? Is there any way you can say no to at least part of the financial requests? I'm saying this because you clearly don't feel good about it. A smart watch is really not necessary when there are so many other issues to be solved. They can't just keep dipping into your finances like this. It's really not right and you are the one that needs to stand up to it. Trying to give you a bit of a pep talk here. I can see this may not end well. Hope you don't mind me saying these things. I give these thoughts to you, with love, to take or leave, of course, as you see fit.
