The partition of Ireland caused us to have a hard border in the past n the politicans are receiving the loud n clear message from the majority of all citizens that no one( apart from the few war-mongerers who sniff opportunities for wealth from war n destruction) wants a return to a bloodiest history of a civil war again. I don't care how they logistically handle it all n if they label it a "soft border/brexit", what matters most is that the peace n harmony now enjoyed all over this Island continues for everyone's sake.
Over the years supermarkets just seem to have got bigger n bigger, with more n more food selection n varieties. It follows the bigger the stock then the more waste n spoilage there will be so I think this is becoming an issue all governments will have to address sooner rather than later. I watched a t.v. programme one time about parts of Germany where rents are so high that people (even working classes) have no money left for food n depend on food banks to help them out, some on a daily basis. Of course some of the people felt ashamed to resort to the food banks but it is an invaluable service n helps reduce food waste. Capitalism is at fault not people doing whatever is necessary to survive.
Having had 1st hand experience of depression n combating it I don't believe the root cause is a chemical imbalance in the brain n an eminent psychologist called Ivor Browne wrote a book outlining the same view n how brain chemicals don't account for the effects of sudden or long term trauma/crises in our lives. In my case depression was caused by emotional problems- an addiction to self pity n loneliness. It takes ferocious hard work on holding onto positive emotions n thoughts to overcome it. Cognitive behaviour therapy (C.b.t.) has been found to be very effective therapy.
Its also an outdated myth that suicide attempts are cowardly acts. Research has shown the characters of these people to be the reverse- they are generally fearless of dying n just want the living hell that s going on in their minds to end. Being cowardly implies running from a difficult situation n these people show tremendous courage in facing depression head on every day. Society appears to concede much more sympathy for people with chronic physical pain with a poor quality of life who want to end their lives than to those who are in constant mental n emotional pain n suffering that has a detrimental effect on their lives and also want it to stop.
Epsom salts is a powerful healing remedy. A few handfuls(not teaspoons) in a hot bath, every night for a fortnight can work on internal injuries. Its important to note not to use a towel to dry the affected area(u ll wipe off the Epsom salts which can take a while to fully absorb) so let the knee air dry when u get outta the bath. I used this remedy on n off for yrs. For extensive internal pelvic injuries.
When it comes to food, most things are best homemade cos they re free of artificial additives n preservatives. I won't say artificial colouring cos I know some home bakers use it for confectionery. There are many artisan food products popping up in supermarkets but golly u d need the bank behind u to afford the prices!!
Hi I personally wouldn't pay to avail of an online dating site cos given the fact that u ve no guarantee of receiving anything in return for ur payment, i.e. guaranteed dates set up, it could be a waste of money. Contrast that with professional offline dating agencies who spend time n effort searching for compatible people for u to meet n setting up actual dates I think u get what u pay for with them. As for odd behaviour, my experience of men practically stalking my profile( which is not in constant change) here on c.s. without getting in touch, all of which is free; is a regular occurrence n one I find both odd n puzzling. Sometimes I can't help wondering is it to monitor when I m online on this site which I find quite stalkish behaviour!
So many parents in the world view their children as an extension of themselves when the reality is they are individual n unique. Yes parents can make important decisions for their children when they are small but once they turn 18 they have every right to make their own decisions n the parents have to respect that freedom. Its a tragedy when parents let their egos take priority over parental love.
A comeback of more insults. If that s the best u can do it says it all about ur I.Q. n in particular ur lack of constructive debating skills. Apologises for calling u out on ur pathetic responses. Needs must. Is that sentence simplistic enough for u or do u need to consult a dictionary. I m not wasting any more data on u. U truly are not worth it.
It would make more sense for you to state evidential facts that prove my assertions too be untrue cos a quick glance at the forum rules prove I m spot on! Instead u resort to slagging off my profile. I may well have what u allude to as "boring" in my life but it sure beats the judgemental mindset of people like urself, dear Sir. Do feel free to come back with more insults cos I m known for putting men like u back in their box fairly lively as I ve just done twice already.
I think its a good idea that this site is open to singles of all ages but I'm personally a middle aged woman now. So much as I understand there are some very nice men in their 20's I would have no interest in chatting to them online and I hope no young man takes offense at that. Its not a matter of age difference for me, its simply a matter of stage in life difference. As you get older what you want from a relationship changes. When I was in my 20s I had marriage n kids on my mind. Now I've been there n done that so being a grandmother is the next stage I'm looking forward to. U can ve different hobbies in a relationship but core goals have to be the same most of the time.
