The road is a proposed site for permanent gypsy provision ..... I bet they're after it .... and have muckied it up already.

It looks as though that's been rejected, though. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-20034935

Two and a half days of brilliant ness. DH just had to help me upstairs about an hour a go. , but this morning was good, and this afternoon, well...what's one afternoon after two days of joyous LIFE! . Hoping after an early night I get back into the brilliant swing tomorrow.

Pn, I definitely think like would take its toll on you. Living with variables is doubting and unsettling, especially after stressful periods. I think also the impact of being speshul and never having had it officially recognised is significant, If I were you I would certainly be looking into some suppor for that. I noticed meetup has a group for women so impacted in bath or Bristol, so would be worth seeing if there is one closer to you? Its almost certain to require some travelling, but c
Uld be a real key to self realisation and 'affection'. .

When someone continually moans that they are not getting attention and if no-one is going to show them some attention they will stomp off to their room, you leave them to it. At least that is what we would do with 3 year olds and 13 year olds.


Does the same thing apply when they are 73?

I've been through all that Silvercar. It becomes roll reversal, and if these are your parents, you'd better get used to it!

When we were children we had to take advice and do what we were told by our parents.

When our parents get old, they have to take advice and do what they're told by their children!

Tell them that if they don't behave themselves they won't get any Tea!

Although mine are / were somewhat older than yours.

... meetup has a group ...

Over the years I've looked at meetup to see what it's got .... and wherever I've lived it's been either nothing or 20s-30s beer drinking clubbing types wanting to get together.

I just ran a check - within 25 miles of me there are four groups:
• One for Microsoft developer/programmers,
• One that contains two armchair economists who discuss the monetary system and banking reform
• A yoga/meditation group
• A supper club that has 12 members and who eat at expensive places.



Oh, hang on, that's misleading me - search provides more. There seem to be 5 local groups:
• Some cafe philosophers
• Some adventurers
• Coast and forest events
• Young/free/single 30-40s
• Girls 30-50 who like fun

So ... still no boats floating.

Don't forget also, I am not mentally in a position to be meeting annoying people with whom I have nothing in common, who will chatter on with inane small talk about stuff that's not part of my life.

I'd just go, say something rude, leave and never be able to go again.

Are you from round here? No
What do you do? Nothing
Have you been to ...? No

Then they whitter on about their other halves/families and I feel so far removed from their lives I might as well just hold my breath until I stop breathing to escape their banality.

I'd never heard of them, so thought I'd look up to see what's happening locally. Mmmm, let's see…….I've got Lesbians on bikes,Naturist holiday mates and (our all time favourite ) The UK Mushroom Club! :rotfl:

Do the lesbians ride their bikes naked looking for mushrooms?
Could be a good day out for you!

Online it's easy to gloss over stuff - I am not sitting in front of you swinging my leg, looking bored, yawning and pointing out odd things that are outside the window ..... I just say rude things but you lot dismiss it as you know I'm speshul

Remember - any new people I meet don't know I'm speshul, so after 10 minutes they'll just think I'm odd but won't know why.

The other day the cats knocked ove r,y bedside table and broke a glass (happens reasonably often)., I just found a piece of glass in my bed. Well, actually in my back side. Ouchy. Glad I found it not DH!
