Hi again @Former-Member

My shoulder can hurt - but I am careful with it - and most of the time it is okay

But the injury was serious - and I have had two surgeries - the next one will be a joint replacement and I am hoping I will pass my end-date before I need that

Thinking back across my life though - I miss so many of the things I did - but I did them - I had such a full life - and I was in a folk group and a muso for the Church Youth Group and drove all over Victoria with my friends going to concerts to play

So although all this was great and gone - I have wonderful memories - it must be sad when people cannot or do not - for whatever reason - take a chance with life's adventures when they are younger - I can enjoy my memories

btw - I love salt and vinegar chips - I think I have a few left - I try and spin the packet out for days - salt - you know - so I go the whole hog when I eat them

Now I can't get my mind off them

Is that like 'operations' re your American English,@Decadian yes I never had the chance to be a player in a church group. Glad you have good memories of your travels around Victoria. I eat the whole packet at once re Salt and Vinegar No regrets here

Goodnight @Former-Member 💕

Hi @Former-Member - I ate chips while waiting for the Pide ... the chips ended up being dinner really .... cos after that I was full. Never mind. We've got Pide for lunch tomorrow now 😊

Hi @Decadian

My D3 is very capable academically. She has just been worn down by a succession of injuries and illnesses, coupled with seeing one parent go off-line with an mi that brought a personality and values change with it .... she is physically and emotionally exhausted, but not all the time.

She is having better days and bad days, and injuries and illness are "over-registering" with her. It will only take about six more weeks of schoolwork and attendance for her to graduate, but if she doesn't, it will take her two years to repeat her Yr 11 & 12 studies, as she would have to re-do them elsewhere .... and yes, she does want to continue studies, but not yet ...

When WH gets diagnosed it can start the healing process for all of us .... not that that will happen overnight either ...

@TAB - is it cold in Kal at the moment ? Lived there for a year at one point ...

Hi @Former-Member 😀

Glad you have been having some spooling ❣

Lots of chats going everywhere on the forum tonight ..... I haven't kept up with much, but it's good to see so many conversations happening and people sharing thoughts ....

Nice sometimes to just sit back a bit and watch it happening.

I went for a long walk after school pick-up and before taking D3 to the physio .... now tired, so might do the iPad face-screen thing sometime soon .... 😏

@Former-Member - oops - * spoiling

Wow @Former-Member

You have had an interesting work life - and PTSD ended mine to so I understand that.

After we sold the family home and I moved into a unit - which had bay views from three rooms - everything caught up with me - it wasn't anything in particular but mostly stress and grief - it was enough to make it impossible for me to work much and I had to give that away - I think divorce can be so nasty sometimes - I didn't want to live with my husband anymore - but I wasn't thinking of divorce - but he was the kind of person who has to be married - at least have a woman iron his shirts - and I was not jealous of her - I have spoken to her a couple of times and I like her

But divorce itself - that was the last bolt through the works - and things piled up and up

I can understand a pregnancy causes PTSD - my dd was premature - the pregnacy was hard with a cervical suture and contractions for weeks before the whole thing got to hard and the doctor had to check that the placenta was - I guess I can add that to everything and I sense that your pregnacy might have been fraught with trouble too - I just feel that - I might be wrong

But omstars - I had something like a guy going to prison myself - luckily I was the second of three women who were prepared to go to court and so he said he was guilty and went to prison

But 20 years - that must have been a really serious crime - I am glad you didn't have to go to court but seeing this on the news would have been distressing

I am constantly amazed about how many things people have in common here - when people open up and talk about their lives - and I find - I am not alone - there are things I don't tell people - but I am finding out other people have the same or similar events

Anyway - eat healthy food - I try to - like salads and steam vegies and fruit - and try and keep away from salt - but it seems salt is in nearly everything
