RE: Where Are All The Budding Artists?

I love to draw but I don't have the necessary imaginative skills required for illustrating

I find this idea quite captivating

RE: Where Are All The Budding Artists?

Good for you

I reckon this is a great project and there's bound to be some on here who would find the idea irresistible

Hoarding

I know she finds it distressing though, embarrassing also

And it's this that has triggered my interest, to try to understand how those who are affected by this issue can be assisted and supported to find some relief.

Hoarding

I've pondered on whether the fact that I'm a minimalist triggered my fascination with this issue but I don't think so

One thing I've discovered is that some who hoard, to the extent that they have piles of stuff surrounding them, come to a point that they don't actually notice it

Those layers of stuff become 'walls', reducing their living space but otherwise just part of the architecture of their home

Strangely, in visiting my lady, I've adjusted to this also and simply take my spot on the sofa (the only vacant space available) and chat away quite comfortably

This too

Hoarding

This is how I understand it

You may be onto something there.

RE: YOUR THOUGHTS....

At 34 she is not a child

And as her Dad, of course you'll feel her pain but it may be time for you to stand back, with love, and let her figure out her life for herself.

We all have to, sometime.

RE: How to make online dating more successful!

I just think there's far too much emphasis placed on it ~ people seem to think that if they can't crack it in the everyday world, somehow the magic online-dating fairy is going to deliver their perfect someone

If people are going to get tedious and talk about exclusivity when they haven't even met yet, I'm thinking reality check

Yeah but hopefully it won't be raining with 43km wind and 17° like predicted

Striking them off the shopping list as we speak

And this is him just after I got him, enjoying a munch on a carrot

Ohhh

A question for the Mods

This is him eating his veggies like a good boy

Random Thoughts

No I'm just thinking about my grandboy, seeing him tomorrow as we're going to Taronga Zoo for his annual birthday celebration

I don't see him very often as they live in Sydney ~ his father's family is European and they're always visiting en masse and they're huggy and noisy and OTT and that's just not me

A question for the Mods

Oh

Never mind, you've been most helpful, thanks

Maybe a mod will come along and reveal that mystery

Random Thoughts

I'm don't think I'm your typical Nanna (the gushy, huggy, phone-calling type) but my grandson seems to love me anyway and he knows I love him too

A question for the Mods

So how do I post Youtube vids Epi

And this is him being a meerkat last Christmas

That's my beautiful boy Jack, he's two and a bit now

thanks Epi

RE: Anonymous messages

Go find a hobby, your threads are torturously boring you silly old woman

Hoarding

It's so complex and a clinical psychologist should probably be involved

I took one of my ladies who is affected by this condition out for coffee yesterday, during the course of our chat I felt comfortable in asking when she felt her acquiring first began

She immediately said it was when her marriage broke down

A question for the Mods

You probably did Epi but I've found it so complicated

Please try again

Eat It

Just made a batch of fetta,spinach,sundried tomato muffins mmm

A question for the Mods

Many do but equally as many operate off a tablet/smartphone, I'd suggest

A question for the Mods

When are you going to make this site smartphone-friendly?

I gave up trying to post pics/vids on the desktop version years ago, just had another attempt on the mobi site which is simply appalling.

Is it assumed that most members are tapping away on a keyboard?
