RE: Where is Sarah Palin?

Sarah Palin joke - cant post it, for more reasons than one

RE: Life changing decision.

Yes but we also have involvement in our own karma - thats personal to you and works for you - Ive thought things through my own way too - what you believe and know is great for you and I hope you are very happy - I do things my own way though

RE: Life changing decision.

If wishes were fishes we'd be swimming away..... Im too grounded for that one - it simply goes without saying that I wish the best for everybody - I burnt all my church candles when I was a kid and waited and waited and waited......... to no avail

Ill reserve my energies now for adulations when the good things do happen

RE: Empty Nest Syndrome? Anyone here experienced it?

I feel for you but dont dread it, be proactive and plan for it - fill the hours with a hobby youve always wanted to do or take a class or join a club - enjoy it, youve earned it

Hello Smiler

RE: flooding in australia

We are up to 10 here with loads of rain forecast - better we have some it it pouring down here if we can take a bit of pressure off the flooded areas but it probably doesnt work that way....

RE: flooding in australia

And your beautiful turn of phrase shines out of the darkness too BB


Lots of us here are wishing you all the best too, Ive been watching the progress on the news - our candles are burning for your safety

RE: Do you truly know what type of government the us is?

Its the same as the UK, a kleptocracy


i.e. a government where officials are politically corrupt and financially self-interested

RE: America stands behind president Obama! Big challenges to solve!

RE: America stands behind president Obama! Big challenges to solve!

For myself, my interest is because my government is so fond of brown nosing with yours and so it affects the whole of Europe when they decide to get us involved in the never ending wars....

RE: America stands behind president Obama! Big challenges to solve!

As a British observer, I dont really have much time for the Republicans - they are such darned sore losers, Ive never heard so much hatred

RE: Retirement

Thank you

RE: Retirement

Im not into arguing the toss on this but physical decline can set in at any age and for any number of reasons.

If we are not attracted to a person then fair enough but to blame it on their disabilities is simply terribly cruel - though it may suit the person making the judgment, Im sure it leaves others cold.....

RE: Retirement

Yeah, lets hear it for the big beautiful women

RE: Retirement

Hiya Gabrielle

Yes, I totally agree, especially in the summer when theres a garden to tend

RE: Retirement

Yep, so many assumptions and distortions of perception.... About 5 yrs back before I took time for myself like you have, I was working 5 days a week on a voluntary job because I totally loved it and thats where Im thinking of going back to soonish - well, its one of two choices I have to make, there will be good training for either but the first one has the potential to lead to well paid work now I have the quals I needed - its been a bit of a long term plan........

RE: Retirement

No matter what the disability, they are all people with minds and feelings - its a common misconception that any of us are better than anyone else.......

RE: Retirement

This increasingly faces us as we get older anyway. If the attraction is strong enough, all such obstacles can be overcome
