Nice people thread part 7 - a thread in its prime

Not going to bite...not going to bite......

Must repeat that mantra to myself to stop myself posting something I may regret on another thread....AAARRGGGHHHH

Amazing how words on a screen can make someone feel like poo on a bottom of a shoe, mind you, probably a bit more sensitive than normal at the moment as it has been non stop problems with the boys (health and educationally) for the last month and I am bloody exhausted!

Don't let our equine chum wind you up! He's so obviously someone's idea of a joke.

Ah...it's not that thread, I pretty much ignore what he writes anyway.

Hi Sue. Just wanted to say that we all know that sometimes life deals you an unfair hand and that there's hardly a person around here who doesn't know that what's happened in your life - the arrival of three gorgeous guys excepted - is not how you would have planned it.

It's probably fair to say that we also know that people who are in receipt of benefits are under the microscope at the moment. Underneath this I think there is a notion of deserving and undeserving benefits recipients that is somewhat difficult to deal with. Personally I don't like the division, but make no mistake, if the division is made, nobody, but nobody, could look at your situation and see you as undeserving.

When people are challenged, they inevitably back down a bit saying (like horsey) something along the lines of "oh well, I don't mean really disabled people"

I think what I'm trying to say is don't take it personally. Unfortunately in the current society divide and rule is being fostered - make no mistake by all political parties - who vilify either bankers, or people on benefits, or public sector workers, or immigrants, or whoever. I'd love to be able to say it is going to get better and people aren't going to say these things but they are and it won't. But please, please, please, realise that it isn't focused at you and that pretty much everyone here and on the adjacent boards know what a difficult situation you have to deal with on a daily basis.

Whoever decided H.R. was a "profession" and needed to be surrounded by mumbo jumbo and gobbledegook should be shot :eek:

I've just used the desktop PC in the study in the first time in months. It's been laptop/tablet thingies all the way recently.

How refreshing! I've forgotten how slick the desktop can feel to use. Big screen; great keyboard/mouse. Perhaps it was a mistake buying expensive laptops, hmm..
