Oh DD I have been saying this for so long.... the Media directs what the sheep do, they flock to where they say' they grieve for people they dont know...the media can make a celebrity in a minute and ruin the same in a heartbeat,the same with a political party.
Thank you Rivane,I see you mention ADHD and you are spot on,my guy is a teacher in that field we live in this small country town and his school teaches kids that have Autism, Aspergers is part of that spectrum.
Many of these young adults 14 to 15yrs disappear into the darker side of the electronic world,they come from all walks of life and nine out of ten are Males.
Some times its heartbreaking and other times it can be so rewarding,in the main the school prepares these kids for life in the outside world to get a job and make a living,the percentage is about 60% who make it through.
How this is done is the teaching is mainly to start one on one' and no more than six to a group towards the end. Also this school gives the Parents and Guardians a well earned break as the effects on them can be devastating and demoralising over time.
I often wonder what the Real percentage of the population has disorders like this,it is known that is has increased dramatically since the eighties,but many cases go untreated as families just grin and bear it with the milder cases.Makes you wonder.
Its a different world out there now if anyone does me a kindness I Always make sure I thank them and try to pass on the courtesy to someone else. I used to travel by train to the City sometimes and it takes about 3 hours, for a while I noticed that everyone is in their own little world but if I started a conversation I noticed that anyone within earshot would join in it was great, I often wonder that people are a bit timid to start chatting to strangers in case they are rebuffed or is it losing the art of conversing.
Our world now is going toward isolation' instead of the children going out to play with each other they get on face book or the like. No physical interaction anymore in the home everyone has their own computer or ipod it would be interesting to see what percentage of the family sits in front of the TV together now I remember the saying that since the TV the art of conversation has gone,I never really believed that because if you had something to say at least that person was there in person...oh damn I dont know any more.
I dont own an ipod or a laptop I have to get up to go in the study to use my Desktop but I still manage to spend a couple of hours a day on it so I cannot cast the first stone.
One thing I am certain of is its never going to get better only worse as technology is moving forward at a terrifying rate so more and more of the population rely on it.
I wanted a partner.... easy' punch in what you want not to your liking or vice versa'punch in another one and so on.
If I want to know anything just Google it' expert at every thing easy dont have to ask some one any more, doesn't have to be remembered.
Even as I type all my spelling mistakes are corrected.
Yet how do we select the good from the bad.... Doctors can discuss the latest treatment with others from all over the world and so on and so on.
I have said this before I know but I am retired now and I have the time to observe this... as always is JMO,I am often wrong and to quick to judge' but this is my world and its how I see it.
I was an only child and quite lonely but I had lots of pets like Rabbits, Guinea Pigs,Pet Rats and of course my much loved Cocker spaniel Judy.
Used to love going to the Auctions and bidding on stuff and then getting my Dad to bring it home for me.
The stuff I purchased would be worth a fortune now as it was from lots of old estates,I remember buying two lovely old chairs for my cubby house and one of the chairs had no arms as that was for a lady to sit on obviously only the Man was important to warrant a chair with arms,the stuffing was made out of horsehair with beautiful carved wood,cost me two and sixpence.
This was in country England and I must have been about 10 or 11 years old I still wonder how I was allowed to bid.
Its so simple' just make sure you leave a will and leave your inheritance to who ever you please, that means it is your own free will I where it will go dont need a law for that.
What a hypercrite you couldn't bear it any longer could you! accusing us! well it wont work NOT ANY MORE my dear... just look at how you have got stuck into Dags far worse than we ever did and then you start on all of us,do as I say not as I do.
I remember the tight little groups on here sniping at each other, anyone who was attractive that were not part of the group they were pushed off this forum,unbelievable as these members were adults.... bullies in the school yard, so many decent people left or were forced off.
In the end they were banned....the person that caused all this grief to start with stayed on here far too cunning to be caught'and just stirred away in the back ground getting someone else to fire the gun ,the good thing is... this group of members on here cannot and will not be manipulated.
I will say this! though all that trouble at the end there was hardly anyone left on these forums and it has built up to a decent number again.
This group of members are a great bunch,and anyone who comes on as a newbee is made Welcome....but if they start to cause trouble they will be given short shift same for all of us.
Ok it gets a bit boring sometimes and they all go to bed early but so what... they are an absolute delight bless their cotton socks.
You are someone I know, I know how you work as you have done this before, plus you protest too much as you always do.
As you know I agree with you Venere what Dags doesent realise that all human beings are not the same he is lucky to strike it rich...and the stupid guy seems to think that all Asian ladies are all like the one he married
There is good and bad in every society Dags and you have the Audacity to come on here trying to persuade the more vulnerable and Lonely guys on here to follow the same path.
I know of some very lonely guys have married just like you and been taken for every thing they own,there are winners and losers 50/50 I would say the odds are.
What you are doing is very low and an insult to the single Ladies on here. In fact I do not think it is allowed on CS but it does not matter if you were banned you can always come back again in a different guise cant you.
Its very interesting that since Tiger was sprung he has reverted to just one of the pack. I am wondering is he missing his family or lack of fitness perhaps as he had his own way of keeping fit.
You must look after yourself I found that when I was on my own I did the very same thing,plus I am of an era when potatoes was the main on the plate and I love mashed potatoes, peas with beef and I make my gravy with oxo. Or porterhouse steak, salad and Idaho potatoes.Not keen on pasta except with spag bolonaise,Stir fry is not my thing except now and again.
But when on my own beans on toast, soup or scrambled eggs.Not a good diet.
You know I have often thought what if.... I know I shouldn't do that but after my daughters accident our lives did a 365 metre turn.
We had a successful racing stables my ex was a leading horse trainer and my daughter was a top Jockey it was a great life.
Then the fall!after that tragedy after tragedy the stress of it ...then ex had a stroke a different man after it, walked out and left us,never thought we would come through but we did.
My daughter and I just made sure we fell in a heap at different times no choice one of us had to be strong.... only three of us left including my granddaughter.
Tell the truth havent thought what if for a quite a while now.
I have thrown out quite a few computers in the past and yes they could have been easily fixed but buying one off Ebay is a whole lot cheaper that getting it fixed...throw away society now.
Thanks for that Rob but looking to buy a tint to mix into my paint to make it dark brown for the stable doors the paint, I have purchased is the solar guard exterior type.
I cant seem to find any tint to mix it myself ...you would think that it would be on sale some where surely.
I used to get heaps of scammers but since I only accept contacts from Aus and this is just if anyone from the forums wants to get in touch, on my profile I say up front very firmly if you are a scammer you are reported no ifs or buts.
It really works.... havent had a scammer for ages now.
