@Former-Member @Former-Member @Meowmy @StuF

Good Morning all ...

its 9.30 am

Yay I made the right time ...

I know @TAB ❤️ It must be difficult looking back over that time in your life when you were in the Army. I wonder if my father regretted going into the Airforce. He had an iron will, used to wake up at 3am to got to work at 5am so he could come home early and avoid traffic on the roads. That was when he was doing computer programming work not Airforce, he changed careers. My dad never had formal education in IT - he became a mechanical engineer through long distance education and the job at the engineer firm demanded he do computer programming. I know he hated that career. He did it to bring in the money. I think the work he did was soul destroying work.

hmm yeah my parents were going through a 'thing' like 20 years ago and came up with all sorts of things that we took as gospel, prob them just being upset as much as anything like father saying oh i hated eating sandwiches oh really ? and mother saying oh never found your fathe attractive ... that lead to 2 embarrassing funeral services , the first, my mothers all about her suffering ok that was true guess meant her marriage ..

then there was something Iwasnt sure I heard right .. person doing church service at fathers funeral asked if anyone wanted to apologise ? for real ? for what ? lol ... bizarre , he must have put them up to it and cant believe they did it, or maybe sister set it up. Very strange @Former-Member

Yes families...I think my dad just kept on marrying the wrong women. His first wife was unfaithful. His second marriage married to my mother was bad in that she acted out all of his suppressed emotions which he could not freely express himself. So she did it for him. I'm kind of done with my family of origin it was like a crucible. I still care about my brother but we don't get along @TAB. But youre right lots of sour emotions in unhealthy family dynamics

yes, why would you bother @Former-Member from what you see around who knows

I'm glad I never married or had kids @TAB - had a defacto relationship that lasted 10 years which was a mistake. But now with covid and financial pressures its getting a whole lot worse for families.

yeah I had no clue with relationships @Former-Member couple on and off and not really and sometimes dont know whether on or off for year or two at a time things lol

Good morning @Appleblossom thanks for the insight into gene mapping and again your great knowledge of music.

Sorry to hear you are feeling beaten up - life is certainly rough sometimes. Hopefully things pick up for you today 🙂.
