Life can be a Pain

Sleep well @utopia

If women ran the world we would be inclined to sort out our differences with a cup of whatever and our knitting 

That could be why men want to run the world - politicians often seem to have a lot to prove

Thanks guys, appreciate it (one of my weaknesses - needing validation. Then again, we are all connected.

@Owlunar, its just that time of year - gonna have to 'cut ourselves some slack' & you have taught me much about that. Thank you. Bad sciatica kicked in yesterday, don't know why, stockwd up on all the analgesic last night, rembering you @these times inspires me. Thanks ❤

hello @Former-Member

I am not very good at following threads with several posts....

I only seem able to flit....hide somewhere for a while...then withdraw into a thread that I have written.....eventually return to threads where not much traffic...

I know that the busy threads means that people are being heard ...gives me time to rest...I still think about those people..

I will always remember you lapses...

I do know how the not being tagged feels though...I have felt the same...realising later it was just my own insecurity...with everything going on around me at the time...

tag me where you would like me to talk to you and I will at the times I am on here..

Morning @Former-Member @Sophia1 ..... anyone else about ..... 👋

Hello @Sophia1 @Decadian @Faith-and-Hope @outlander

Hearing about secondary impacts of war @utopia my dad was at same repat.

@Former-Member I definitely like having you around.

Going through my own little mini crisis about whether or not liking, posting or tagging somebody is a good thing or just annoying.  At least with you I know you dont mind.

I just posted about a Peace Cantata I was involved with in last few years. The fellow who wrote it has just had it performed in Amien. It was to celebrate Monash as General whose strategies at Amien brought the WWI to a quicker close.

@Appleblossom. I hated that hospital. It was late 70's & all of the 80's. They really didn't do anything for him other than constantly misdiagnose him. I also really dislike the Dept of Vet Affairs - as they did nothing to help dad. Infact they did everything they could - over years - to try and prevent him getting the TPI Pension.
I don't mind when people tag me. I always 'like' the post to acknowledge I have read it and hear what is being said. And when I feel able - I always respond. Also happy to be tagged in new posts if people think I have similar experience or may be able to help.

Both mr’s parents suffered war trauma as children ....

We become the new front lines in terms of trying to stop inherited trauma from rolling forward into future generations if we can bring in under control in ours.

@Appleblossom @utopia @Owlunar @Former-Member @Sophia1 ..... and I know there are others on the forums affected this way.

We were there in early 70s. @utopiaMy father died there, over medicated.  Maybe he would have become an alcoholic but I never saw that, tho I had a friend whose dad was, so I would have smelt it.  

@Shaz51 Yep there are pros and cons to being married or single.

Best approach is to enjoy as much as we can, cos bad stuff happens anyway.

Yep @Faith-and-Hope The costs of war are legion.

Good night All @Decadian
