Hi @Shaz51

Working it out day by day is the only way - I have been thinkinng of you with your proposed dietary changes - that must be an alarning idea - but I know we need to do that best for ourselves -

I would not care if I never even saw another broccoli - until they invent chocolate flavoured broccoli - that can't be too hard - they genetically modify everything else - - - but I do care if they take your favourite food out of your menu - tough that

@Faith-and-Hope

I am sorry you had your art taken down - I missed it - darn that - oh - yes - I stll might get it in my mail-box - I hope so

My computer is having death throes - I think today is the day - I am feeling better today and Friday's are so busy I feel like taking it easy on Saturday - but maybe I can make it last until tomorrow

And life goes on - Dad used to say that there was always something else to put on his to-do list - yesterday I got stacks of salad and started to eat proper meals again and feel heaps better - and now the computer is at it's last gasp

Hi @Former-Member

I have not found your replies as abrupt - you are struggling with something I have not encountered myself and this must be a constant battle for you - I understand though - life is often a battle

Thanks for your comments on my snuggle-cat - she can be naughty - I think she is bored with winter and plays the door-game - lemme in - lemme out - and I don't change the weather for her - terrible cat mother

I was concerned when my daughter wanted to leave school - puzzled as well - I would have put her through university though I was still an undergraduate myself back then - but apart from me my family seems to be into gardening - and I have my plant pots growing mostly weeds atm - still have some herbs though - but she used to help her father in the back garden and it seemed logical to me that an apprenticeship in gardening would be right for her - and it was

All my male cousins have degrees but I was the first woman to get a degree - and for whatever reason my nieces have all gone through university - and the young women in the family seem keen to study - which is a good thing - maybe I set an example - but having people study encourages me - even my gd doing body art is interesting - maybe that is what she will do - maybe that's her passion

Seeing as all of my grandsons got apprenticeships without year 12 - I really hope your son can get one too - two of my grandsons are concrete layers - of course they would have the appropriate ideas regarding maths - I really don't know what they learned in a year - but they are both busy with different employers - so there is work

Needing year 12 to lay concrete seems a bit weird - so for your son - I think there will be something in the building trades - I certainly hope so - I can't see how roof-tyling - or road-building - needs that - I had private students needing English to get year 12 when they were into science and maths - and battled hard with English - so could I pass this off to you and your son.

Needing Year 12 English - which I assume is still compulsory - is a hard thing for kids who don't have an interest in that area - as their tutor I appealed to the scientific side of their mind - writing is a science - this is what to look for - how is this a protocol?

But for someone leaving school younger - kids who are not academic - this is one hard ask - and not fair

Year 12 is not for everyone - in 1960 I started work in a bank with my Intermediate Certificate which was good educationlly for girls back then - now I wonder if girls drop out of school when they were 15 - it was 14 when I was at high school and I wondered what happened to them. Even so I feel Year 10 is not enough - but the kids have to find that in themselves - and if it is not there - there has to be some other way - and yes - I have taught BAL as well and know literacy is not there for everyone

So I wish you and your son the best with that one - I think it's pretty unrealistic to insist on Year 12 in your son's circumstances - in many circumstances

And yes - thanks - I am feeling better today - I have made a salad for lunch - and it's late - dinner - early - I am feeling my appetite again and this has to be good

Catch up when you can - I understand your struggling every day

Hello @Decadian

Hello @Former-Member @Former-Member, @Former-Member, thank you for all your messages

Sending you hugs for today

how are you today ?

@Former-MemberI dont dream a lot these day unless painkiller related. drink stops dreams, not recommended tho.

had lots nightmares til early adult. I decided to become 'director' . that got me out of a few 'scrapes'.

Hi @TAB

I used to have nightmares regularly years ago, then hardly ever. Just started having them alot again, since I started seeing the psychologist. I'm trying to see the good side and that is, I will be able to resolve the PTSD issues with the psychologist. I thought they were resolved, but I guess they've been hiding in my subconsious.

I went back to sleep eventually, then had another awful dream. Up at 7.30am, went back to bed for a bit. Doing chores. How's your day going? I might have to go off here very soon, lots to do.

I'll pass on the alcohol. Would send me on a downward spiral.

yes, lots to do here too, cancelling them one by one lol. slept like log 10hrs just woke, bit knocked out, but in good way @Former-Member been on water last few days lol

@TAB That's good re sleep. Wish I could sleep like that. Hope your day goes well. I better be off now.
