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

Hi @Kurra I think you're making the right decision in talking to your supervisor. Just make sure they don't tell the others who told them. The others have shown their true colours and I don't think there would have been much point in getting into conflict with them.

Sounds like a good decision to me @Kurra, but more importantly, you seem to have settled with what you want to do in this awkward situation.

The 'like' is not for your headache ...... 🌷
It's that sort of tension strain that I use Fisiocrem for, and it works wonders for me. Another thing I keep on hand is a small glass tube of Peppermint and Lavender oil with a little rolly ball on the end, like a roll-on deodorant, that is marketed for headache relief. I use it at the temples, but also down the back of both sides of my neck. It makes your eyes prickle tho.

Not naughty son. You are just dealing with commitments. Share about it or not. I understand it may not really change if your aunt is still living with you, but really it requires her to adapt to your space and not just take it over. She is obviously struggling too ... I hope your safe space has been set up. How is the garage?
I am doing ok @Jacques and so is my irl boy.
I have set up a weekily digest to help manage my Sane forum time .. but with you I just check if you are visiting ... you dont have to talk to me ... as mum we want our kids to talk to lots of people.
I never did the "dont talk to strangers" much as a mum ... mostly I see society needs to set up links and not put up walls.
It does matter that you get exposure to all types but learn to see what are ultimately good interactions, and steer away from the less good.
It has been interesting how the forum is changing .. lots of good and troubled people .. a bit of work to actually read the threads .. it gives me hope though.
I hope you dont drop out all together
Love Mum
