How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2026....

@Pepper, I would never dare to say I've endured what you have lately. But you sound about as low as I've been feeling—as in, very close to giving up. Perhaps we can send each other some mental supportive vibes or good wishes.

Please hang in there. I'll be thinking of you today, and I'm sending a hug across the miles, from the icy Northern Plains.

Many of us are struggling. Maybe we need to mention it more often.

Yes, I agree.

Someone here has, or used to have, as part of their avatar/profile what I thought was a truly excellent quote from Robin Williams, something along the lines of "Be kind, because you never know what internal struggles a person has." I'm drawing a total blank on who the SF person is, and I don't know how to search it.

if they've pulled it you won't find it... but I have found that some people are really hypocrites... and those who bully, or those who are the most unkind will often have those platitudes as their signature strap... so I wouldn't place a great deal of store by it
if you want it as your signature, you can go ahead and have it..
 

@KSav

That would be me.
Thank you; you were the first person who came to mind, but I wasn't sure! 🥰

A few weeks ago, Sean Lennon, whom I follow on X because I find him very intelligent and insightful, shared a social media page of someone who was like that, with platitudes, claiming to be a compassionate anti-bullying advocate, and such.

This same person posted "Your mother's a whore" to Sean's account. Yeesh.
 
Off to deliver a load of books to a charity that sells books to raise money for educational use abroad. It's a bit of a journey, but its an excuse to get away from the house for a change.

We've just about got our late son's room cleared, and having been the biggest bedroom, we're dividing it into a bedroom and 'study' which Mrs.L has already claimed as her sewing room.

precisely ! every forum or online chat venue has those people....
 
It's lunchtime now ( 12.45pm).. It's the painters' turn today..he's been here since 9am

I thought there was 2 of them because I could hear him talking all the time.. so when i took a quick glance he had his phone propped up and was having a full conversation continuously with someone on there...

I've had the Insurance reps from the company I bought all the new appliances from, pestering me to take out Extra Insurance with them,

I told them no I didn't want to pay £45 per month for insurance....why not ?..I was asked... because I have statutary rights by law.. and I also have my own insurance if the worst came to the worst..plus I simply can't afford that...every month! As soon as I said I can't afford it, he hung up...realised obviously there would be no talking me into it....
 
Well, as the world keeps getting weirder and weirder for me, I have decided to get off every prescription med I can before I die. 14 years of dealing with a system that keeps you dependent on them is drawing me. So, I have a new goal\s. 1. Stay involved in as much of the world I can take, and get out of the old Western medicine habit. :)

Good for you, ..but no need to tell you of course.. but I'll say it anyway , just take things carefully a bit at a time.. your body has become used to all sorts of meds so withdrawing them all could cause a big problem.. so just take it carefully
