Am Not Coping

Re: Am Not Coping

@utopia

 

oooohhhhhh - what a horrible thing to happen- that was quick thinking telling him you had a terrible disease - that should scare people

 

I have been to St Helens - 1993 actually - our paths nearly crossed - howboutdat!!!! - and it is very remote and lonely on that neck of the woods

 

I am careful travelling around - as I have done for years - I would not get out of my car and walk in such lonely places - a woman alone is vulnerable - a woman with children is a bit safer because any one watching would be likely to think there has to be a man where there are children

 

Still - I have seen some wonderful places when I drove all over Victoria - always watching, careful that I never stayed in one place for long - always had a reliable car

 

Actually I think I grew eyes in the back of my head - I felt like that -

 

My closest encounter of the most dangerous kind was in a suburban train in broad daylight when a man started to get too friendly - and he asked me where I was getting out - and I told him the station one past mine - and it didn't look suspicious when I collected myself quickly and jumped out of the train just as it was ready to leave.

 

I ran all the way home - I was so freaked - about 2 miles - taking short cuts across vacant land - wow - I did not feel safe until I was at home

 

Women should not have to worry about things like this - but we do - just because some men think they have the right - and they don't

 

I am glad both of us got out of these things safely

@Mazarita Like you I don't watch much TV.

Just the occasional movie if it's not on too late - or a nature program or something that catches my eye.

Re: Am Not Coping

Hi @Faith-and-Hope

 

Are you going to a Pascal Candle Service? I always loved that

 

I remember one year I had a fantastic insight - As a chorister I was with the choir in the back of the church when all the lights were turned out - and it was blowing an eerie wind that night - great sound FX - and then the Pascal Candle was lit and then the tapers followed and the light grew - and grew - and did not diminish - which is like God's love I think - I believe

 

I would love to go - I have been physically uncomfortable today and don't like to go out at night much - I can take any taxi during the day but at night - no - not really safe for me

 

So - say a little prayer for me tonight - I would be honoured
