i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

I was upset by a school friend who I reconnected with periodically, and each time it was all great and enthusiastic. She never had kids and told me off for being a martyr. While she gave me a massage. I was so shocked, now I think she offered the massage in compensation for her lack, but as I was so open as you are during a massage it knocked me for 6. Nowadays I look into their background and situation and figure she had a smaller life ... and was actually jealous, but projecting & deflecting her negativity onto me.

Yea @Former-Member
It is now getting to the stage where I have a secure enough home base that I know that when others are mean, it is about them more than me. It was just that for nearly 50 years I didnt have such a sanctuary.
I am so glad this forum is growing and thriving. Going into garden. Got my dirty work clothes on.
Cheers

What happened last night? I woke to over 100 sane messages in my inbox! Did I miss my own party?

Having an Earl Grey cuppa. Thanks for your replies @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @Appleblossom 
It was awkward bumping into the ex friend yesterday, I couldn't avoid her. I really can't tolerate fakeness anymore. I'd rather be on my own, than put up with fake people.
How is everyone's day going?
I might have to go off here soon, lots to catch up on, chores etc.
I had a nap, still don't feel the best. Oh the joys of PTSD.
