@katt I’m finally here and it was such a delight to find your friend invitation. I also read Paul Coelho’s “The Alchemist”, but it was probably 8 or 9 years ago and I can barely remember what I read last week. I’m not much good with self-help books. I get too impatient or they are too airy-fairy for me. I have started many but only […] View

    Swearing and farting are always okay at my age. Also I think we should include snorting for those times when you’re laughing very hard. Why do they say laughing hard?  It should be easy.

    Julie, we’re going to get along fine. I love cookies and mojitos, though I’m not sure I’ve ever had one. I’m sure I will like it. I think life is great when I decide I feel like cooking and call someone up and they just come on over. Inviting someone to come to dinner 10 days from now is very unappealing to me. How do I know if I’m going to be in…[Read more]

    PS, I’m working on an iPad as I spilled a large mug of coffee on my laptop that was a non-recoverable error so I accidentally closed this topic then reopened it but I’m not sure   if I hurt it. Damn fat fingers.

    Oh Miss Linda (that’s Southern y’all), I knew you would be giving back and reading your list I am ashamed of myself for being a hermit and exhausted by your schedule. I think maybe you need to find a way to take care of yourself. This would be an excellent example of the pot calling the kettle cast iron, as I am very poor at it.  I was going to…[Read more]

    Linda, I did some more thinking and can offer some thoughts on severe depression, more like a huge black bear that is probably more than you will need.

    During the abyss, and trust me it was deep and the walls were steep and wet so climbing out took a really long time.  So I knew I had to establish some guidelines to get strong enough to begin…[Read more]

    Well Ladies, I just discovered this thread and want to chime in.  I find it rather quite interesting that such amazing, creative and courageous women would have such self-doubt.  I’m including you Julie in this comment. Active traveler screams adventure to me.  I can’t imagine starting on a PhD at 60, or 30 for that matter.

     

    I fear I have be…[Read more]

    I am so impressed with Sue’s response. How adult, how positive, how very healthy.  Truly.  Funny when I traveled for work I was never uncomfortable going out to dinner alone, but I’m not very good at it when on my home turf, which is pretty much all the time.

    Linda, I think Sue is probably the poster woman for what to do.  I always turn to ch…[Read more]
