Well thats the last thing I thought I'd read, which is good. @Glisten , You point out there are far more pressing issues for you, and I tell you I have much stronger views also on any form of abuse too, Too anyone, not just females. be it physical or verbal, or controlling behaviours. My country town has an abundance of this and the town folk know well my views and actions on this. I lack an ego or or abusive streek and that does make me a target now and then. Moderators have saved me twice on Sane. I have a life time ban policy on verbal abuse. If someone has done it to me once, they will do it again..! Both the book keeper and my cousin live under my umbrella out of fear of ex partners. One in five woman will be assaulted by there partners, is that right ?
I went on a dating site once, way back when it was still a, his and her column in the paper, Most the Ladies insisted on tall financially secure alpha type men who could dance. And the men seemed to care about looks too. Not me mate. Safety peace and friendship and accepting of all races religions and orientations. That was my list. . Took ages that friend found me thank goodness.
My cousin went on last year and asked for a guy with a current police check, short chubby plain and not spoilt in the love arena. The guy she found treats her like gold . I know respect should be a no brainer, but I do admire her different and fun, approach given the current state of play. No.. woman don't choose abuse. I'm just relaying my personal story on this topic. Hope thats Ok.
Well I always love to read your letters and I don't have any answers to most of todays affairs, so I like to ask others. peoples views interest me, and its still a free country, all views respected by me.
Realigning eyeballs and sea worm dreaming tonight ..
Have a beautiful eve @Glisten
@StuF OH no, I figured it would be better than that, and its on my list mate. Cheers. My favorite vampire movie is the one with Sam Neil. Is it called daybreak, ? cant remember. ..
@Former-Member Mate. you really put some value in my head. I never used to read much because always used to think it would, unbeknown to me , influence what I write and sing and I'm sure it does. Maybe thats what you where touching on but I'm going to have a good slow study of your letter tomorrow and think on it.
They dosed me up good n proper today, Bit of pain .. So my minds telling me, sleeeeeep
OH and yogurt.. good nite fair folk

I always seem to come on late sometimes here, when everyone's going to try and sleep.
I don't do well with you guys when you reply to my messages, I need to get better at it, my memory is terrible. I love it on here, reading how everyone is going, it's the one place where we can feel safe and say how we're doing or struggling with things and just bring up all sorts of things and I also learn so many things that I would never had known even though I forget most of it with my memory but still love ❤️ it.
@tonys I've got a fan for my son's room and tower fan in mine which is ok when we have 1 hot day and cools down at night, I just brought those neck fans for Xmas if you have seen them, I tried it out our last hot day and worked well, then wet face clothes or towels then with the fan on them helps as well, it's just when we have constant heat and the house doesn't cool down when it's horrible so lots of cold showers is the way
@TAB @Former-Member @Glisten @Zoe7 @StuF @Meowmy
Have appointment at doctors next week, at least since I've just been drinking water and nothing else it's been better, but when I eat the pain comes back, so trying not to have any dairy, I only had some shortbread earlier but that caused stomach aches again so not eating them anymore either.
Hopefully will be able to sleep again, spose to go to my one friend that I have tomorrow for New Year but worried about drinking and having BBQ on stomach but I should give it a go as they say it only comes around once a year.

Dont be hard on yourself @saturnzoon its ok not to reply..
Putting feet in bowl of water works well too with hot weather.
Maybe try emergency or theres a phone line you can ring a nurse and ask them what they think .if its a blockage or appendix its really serious. Best to get professional opinion

Hope you slept well @tonys
I am doing similar... re "I won't be doing AI but rather possess a healthy sense of self and draw from my own well of creativity." Well writ.
Will watch what happens. Went to AI show on Q&A tv a month ago. A lot of hype. We'll see.
@Former-Member @Glisten @saturnzoon
Hope you all have a good New Years Eve
I cant believe my son asked for and is happy for split pean and bacon soup. I made a strawberry coulis to have with ice cream. Pretty basic. Told him if he gets better offer I will run and hide and leave him to it.

Hey @tonys @Appleblossom @Oaktree @TAB @saturnzoon and all
Good morning of NYE...!
@tonys I'd not heard of that Sam Neil vampire film...it is called Daybreakers, by the by. I'll try to watch it sometime...I miss being able to go to a store to rent films. I reckon I had a much better attention span then

Good that the pain has eased...but yeah, not eating etc obviously not sustainable. As @TAB said, best to get it checked sooner than later if you can...but I understand not so easy this time of year

@Oaktree that's a beautiful way to spend some of your day, cuddles are so lovely
