How is your day going?

Hi all

@Grumpy1314 hi, hope you're well and good luck going into town. You can do it you're a good guy.

I was wondering about what you said about groups. I'm OK with groups, I don't get intimidated anymore and find them helpful to meet new people, but I much prefer 1 - 1 as well.

I tend to find people I get on with in a group, then ask if they'd like to meet up and stuff.

I do the same on forums. Like I'll often PM people on forums to talk about stuff, not because it's sensitive, just it feels more comfortable for me.

I think it's an element of when I have a conversation, I prefer it to be meaningful and not smalltalk. In a group setting I find stuff often gets, not intentionally ignored, but missed.

In real life I also struggle to know when to talk, like I'm not very good at interrupting people and often worry it's disrespectful, but often it's your only chance to get a word in and if you don't speak up someone else will and you'll be left out. One - to - one it's easy to know when it's your turn to speak

I didn't sleep much again last night.

Its another beautiful sunny day here and I have my mobile hair dresser coming to do my highlights later.

I think you're a strong person for being able to realise that about your old friends, and even more so for not denying the situation.

I'm sure you've thought this through already, but when it comes to insurance, is it an option not to have it? As I understand it, if someone was in an absolutely critical condition, most countries would do a bare minimum, before sending you away. Like I say you've probably looked into it already and it wouldn't surprise me if being insured was a condition of entering some countries. 🙁

This sounds stupid, but via a new friend I've gotten into cinema recently. It's something I never thought I'd enjoy (at first I did it to spend time with a friend) but now I like it. My friend often goes on her own and keeps encouraging me to do the same. The chain I go to is quite disability-friendly, as well.

Furthermore, you can often watch concerts at the cinema. I didn't get the idea, it seems like a cross between watching a band playing "live" on YouTube… but I watched a film recently where a concert scene was part of the film and it was great… I can see why people do it

I hope the fire brigade visit goes well and isn't too distressing. Are you anxious about what they'll identify, or more just about tolerating the visit with anxiety and stuff?

another message disappearing….. i give up…. it is pointless… i guess all my messages are negative.. so scope does not like them…. well.. i can only be honest…. and will always be honest…….

I acknowledge and appreciate your messages I feel the same

I only have Freeview and it is always the same. Same stuff over and over again ..... considering Netflix.. but maybe it is the same.. repeat after repeat....

i have not gone to the cinema for a very long time but there is nothing interesting.. maybe around covid times i think.. i want to go back but there is nothing interesting. in order to feel at home one has to like the place you live at the moment i hate it but i hope i will one day move. i would love to own my own place so i do not have to accept all these unwelcome people.. even if it is done by law i just do not like it… having to tidy up the room so the agency does not complaint etc.. in case someone from the agency comes… it is all anxiety and stress..

i am not sure.. sometimes i like the idea of not having tv.. i probably would read more etc… it is true sometimes i am with the computer and having it as a background noise. i am not sure i can live with out it. or it would be very hard. and the older i get the more i appreciate it in the back ground.. it is not just the sound but the images as well.. but maybe it would take some efford and ii would be able to do more stuff.. but maybe tv license will be harassing me and not believe i do not have a tv…. i am not sure but i thought about it in the pass. i know of a person who does not have a tv… he relies in internet… etc…

I'm having a small whisky as not had one for a good while. I went for Deanston 12 year old mostly as it was at the front of my whisky cupboard but it's half empty so I must like it. It's nice so far 😊

@Grumpy1314

Sounds like a diverse mix 😊

That's interesting about military.. is that something from your past or just an interest? Of course goes without saying please don't answer if not comfortable. I always would have liked some kind of military career if I'd never had health issues, I kind of liked the sound of the community and the culture
