Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Hi @scruffypuffball , I'm sorry all these things are happening to you.

Good luck with your health and sleep.

I was very houseworky yesterday, but less so today.

Just saying hello

hope your days go well...

I need to get houseworky too, but too much going on, see how I go on the weekend, sorry for the long threads yesterday, but I was outside & overwhelmed. To top it all off, as I was shutting the windows 12am last night two boys 19yo?? Walked past my street walking into my neighbour’s driveway looking in their cars for something to steal, I stuck my head out of the window with my n95 mask on, white and bright and they saw me and they scattered off 😂🤣

When I was overseas, I visited a slum as part of a tour. One thing that struck me was that the people, from early adult-hood, work extremely hard there. Despite the poverty, the below living standards, the number of peoplr packed into each and every nook and cranny, they ALL live in harmony. There is no evidence of crime against each other.

@scruffypuffball , does it mean our young people don't have enough to do? I makes me wonder.

Anyway, good to see you all @scruffypuffball @NatureLover @Appleblossom @Dimity @Shaz51

Hello @tyme , @NatureLover , @scruffypuffball , @Appleblossom , @Dimity

In town here, people get together at the local park with loud music for hours on the weekends

@tyme I used to volunteer at neighbourhood watch, police said youth crime was about pushing boundaries and fitting in. Once they got caught most of them never did it again. I remember that happening at school too. Humans imitate each other

Absolutely about fitting in @scruffypuffball . It's interesting about the point that they never do it again. That's good to know!

@NatureLover perhaps the landlord is still lining up tradies - they might be very busy right now after the holiday shutdown.

Poor you. Between cabin fever and agoraphobia.

Thanks, yes I've been very tired this week.

Hmm I'm far from houseworky at present @Appleblossom @scruffypuffball . Doing what I need to do to get by.

@tyme @Shaz51 I've read that a high proportion of crimes are committed by a very small number of repeat offenders. I sometimes wonder if better investment in family and youth services would help.

Thanks, @Dimity . I made it to the library to work yesterday. I didn't cough too much while there, thankfully.

I don't think the landlord is lining up tradies, but you never know. I've been keeping the house neat, but still haven't scrubbed the shower.

Are you feeling any stronger after your surgery? I hope you're getting enough sleep at night.

I've got a lunch on today.

Hope your day goes well.
