Re: Musings

Is it you who thinks that you are not worth the truth or the (toxic) person who is lying to you?  Something that is quite difficult to discern.  It is a shame though that there are some people who do and say things to others, about others, etc. because they need to feel superior.  So when I know tha...

Re: My pain is better

Looks interesting, but also uncomfortable.  But I am not ready for something like that as I can still mostly move myself without too much pain or hassle, but I know many cannot so something like this makes sense.  A few years ago I got a Temper-Pedic (get the real one and not a copy) that molds arou...

Re: More bullshit!

I am still very new to all of this but was once the creator and moderator for a large home schooling group in my area.  No matter what you do or how hard you try to maintain civility and be "the leader" there will always be at least one person who has a few screws loose; if possessing any screws at ...

Re: Encouraging people to come to the forums

Hi, I am new to all of this, including all of this unfamiliar technology.  I, too, like the idea of a forum as I sometimes cannot keep up with a chat room.  I come into one and more often than not have no idea what the topic is.  I'm 61-year-old woman and was diagnosed in my early 20s with degenerat...
