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 🙂

Gidday Shaz @Shaz51 🙂

I think you'd like it here, the birds are amazing - Cockatoos, Galahs, willy wagtails, ducks, water hens - so many . . . and they seem to have no fear of people . . . or dogs?!?

I'd beter go now, gotta move the portable solar panel to charge the battery 🙂

Yes, the push for people to breed - I don't understand it, there are too many of us on the Planet. Children die daily, . . . why can't we bring them here? Politics? How's that for mass-murder and war mongering!?! Almost forcing people to breed here, so they can make more money, to send to those starving elsewhere.


Hi Niqua

I have to stop pushing my ideas under my soap box and get real - I agree this planet is totally overcrowded and for some obscure reason people keep breeding when they have no way of suppporting and caring about the financial state required to bring up the children they have brought into the world and I feel like crying when charities put up advertisements about the starving and under-priviledged children in the world and I struggle a whole lot because I can't help - and every child already here deserves to be here

But why bring more - they shows us children starving in famines or suffering discrimination in our own societies - and they deserve better - but why are they here?

I struggle with these thoughts all the time - and I can't find room in my heart for judgments - only sorrow that I can't help them - so I agree

It's time we got serious about Zero Population Growth because the whole planet will suffer - not just those already under-priviledged - and there are times when I am glad to be at this end of my life - I will not be around when the tipping point has past - if it has not been already

Aw - I am just darn tired today - but when asked - this just happens to be my constant point of view

I agree Niqua
