Hi all,

I'm new to this forum. I'd like to introduce myself. I'm 40 years of age, female. My interests include music (any genre), reading a great novel, watching comedy, Restuaranting, and learning new things. I suffer from depression and anxiety. Depression feels very lonely for me. I'd like to reach out for some support. Thank you.

Saying hi to you in the dungeon!!

I don't know if she's married or what their situation is. He brought it up when he was here last to give me the bond. He told me he had to pick something up for her at the local shopping centre here. He then said, "She's a friend of mine, it's complicated because she wants more than what I am prepared to give her". Perhaps I'm wrong, but that sounds like a player to me. I don't know. Could be true, who knows. Anyway, it would be awkies to bring it up - the sleep over situation - I'm not sure here that was why I asked you guys.

I don't know. Ive never been in this situation before either.

I think you need to be prepared that he could have multiple women over if he's a player. Oh gosh.

Perhaps play it by ear. If he's not that into her which sounds like the case I'd expect her to come over occasionally but if they are serious it could be a lot more regularly. I'm sure she has a home he'll more than likely stay at as well, could be the case. If you're having an issue with it you could ask him politely if he could sleep at hers sometimes but then he's paying rent so would that be an issue for him?

If they are loud it could be a problem. You'll have to tell them to be quieter lol...and then maybe the imposition will mean them going back to hers.

Just throwing a few ideas around.

Your both adults so I'm sure you'll be able to come to some sort of mutual understanding or agreement, or if it gets too much say it's not working out and find someone more suitable.

I haven't applied for the casting yet, have to send in a video which I'll probably do.

Oh dear, monkey,
Im cacking myself here 😆😆 because what youve proposed reminds me of a situation in Melbourne whereby a man got caught by police for breaching curfew after 9pm. He was sitting in his car. When police asked him why he violated covid directions, he said his flatmates girlfriend was too loud. That was splashed all over the media. How embarrassing.
Umm .. Yea, look at this stage, im gonna play it by ear. He seems respectful enough...and we do communicate well, so hopefully itll be ok.

I wish you well with the casting - we could be talking to a famous movie star in the making!! X

UP for air from the dungeon lol.

I'm absolutely filthy! Only cause we're close friends OMG the SNOT coming out of my nose! Seriously disgusting. All black from the fire this morning and now all dusty from downstairs.
NO it's not TMI.... this is what we have to deal with as friends lol!

A friend from Qld called me today in a state of panic about a relative and I said I'd call her straight back after the Handyman left. I did. She didn't answer.

That's a funny piece of Covid news lol... did the guy get off with a warning?
Hope so.

Cheeses.

Noise Cancelling Headphones and a lock on your door.
Alexa told me there were so many girls and women being attacked because they were wearing those types of headphones whilst walking down the street.

SO only use the ear bud ones and leave one out when you're walking down the street. OKAY? Listen to your Ecomama now girls. lol. STAY SAFE.
Plus Alexa has taught ALL my kids the other ones too... Impulse in one hand, keys in the other.
Her Karate teacher taught her that.

And NO I didn't watch Dragon Tattoo tonight lol.. I watched a comedy series of such bad taste that it's funny.

Hey monkey I did watch Enough when you suggested it. I moved past all the airy fairy stuff but I LIKE her style.

Yesterday I picked up a Salvation Army mag they hand out at shopping centres, when you drop a few coins in the box. It was all about Mental Health and how to deal with Covid. I always have a chat with them. THEN I ASK for Prayers! lol.

Oh did you hear about the "one way BUBBLE from NZ to here"??? lol.... sure Australia get their money.... is that what you took away from that? I did.
So my 2nd cousins will be on the first plane I reckon.

Talk soon Cherubs!

MOVIE STAR MONKEY MAGIC woohooo!

EMxxxx

Hi all,

If I get the part/s it's possible I'll be known. I was an extra in packed to the rafters, rem that show and in ads and my friend would always recognise me. I love a bit of tv work.

Yes, U might need noise cancelling headphones in your own home. My brother had noise cancelling foam blocks stuck to his bedroom wall when living at my dads- too funny.

Oh, so you watched the movie " Enough"... I remember feeling empowered by that movie. Self defence is not a crime- loved it. I rem feeling inspired to be her if I was ever in that situation.

Yes, keys between the fingers when walking to your car...I did some karate and self defence. One of the lessons I still use at times. Sad that we have to do that but woman still getting attacked...and men of course. But covids kinda changed some of that I reckon. I feel much safer since ppl r social distancing these days.

I heard about the one way bubble. Things r opening up slowly, slowly. Bring it on.

We had a trip booked to Hawaii last August and couldn't go 😔

Covid is slowly leaving...good riddance.

💗

Yeah I spent almost ALL our money I'd saved for all of us to travel all over the U.S. with bf this Christmas... for a month. We were going to hire a mini bus! Well bf was. And he has enough points for ALL the motels too.

It was the fares and spending money I was saving for.

Clearly NOT going lol! Money's almost all gone now anyway.

The kids are VERY happy NOT to go now... I'm spending it all on our home lol.

The attacks on women and girls are so seldom reported in the media. My children are socially connected locally and hear about 100 x MORE than is ever reported.
It's about 97%+ females to less than 3% males.
Same with violence.

I knew of 3 suicides in a week not reported. AT ALL. Just in one suburb here.

If anything the attacks on women has increased here... we've had SO MANY ppl move here since Covid... being an extremely low Covid area and great hospitals. The interstate number plates nearly equal our state ones, we've been taking data lol!
I'm not blaming the interstate ppl for the increase in crime... but having doubled the population means it's harder to catch them with same old number of Law enforcement.

They are INUNDATED.

It's STINKING HOT here already!
I'd better get the hard work done before the hottest parts of the day swoop in.

What's everybody up to?

Party for Centaured in the BB Cafe tonight. What an achievement.

Love you guys

Hey naughty Monkey & filthy Ems,

It is a glorious, sunny day - Enjoy the sunshine all.

I don't believe the guy with the flatmate with loud g/f got a fine - I think Vic Pol used their discretion here lol. Poor guy.

Noise canceling earphones and lock door? lol. I'm sure the noise would be that bad to the point where it'll cause my bedroom door to fly open lol. lol. lollies lol.

The travel bubble with NZ has not been extended to Victorians - fine by me. Who wants to go to NZ anyway?

I hope you guys got refunded for the trip - most ppl haven't. They lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Greedy agents.

Monkey I do remember packed to the rafters though never watched it. Hollywood movie star you will be Monkey. Have you listed your jeans yet?

Blubes

Hey people!

Holy dooly you must be a proactive Blubes....already thinking I've done casting, selling the jeans, Hollywood movie star...nup, not yet, sitting on ma touche.

I'll eventually get all the stuffs done.

Glad Centaured is feeling better. ECT therapy is contraversial because of the memory loss and other side effects. Plus it's easy money for a psychiatrist. Haven't heard the best things about it but it seems from his perspective it's beneficial. Might pop into the party.

Don't like this attack on woman situation where U r. I've had some lucky escapes but recently felt safer. Looks like it's still rampard...damn police who took my stun gun.

Funny story- I was in the back of a paddy wagon for scaring a guy with my stun gun...went back to the police station and they took it lol...
Need some sort of protection in this day and age.
Guess I'll have to rely on my limbs.

Exactly.

There's no REAL protection for us.

An AVO is ONLY a piece of paper and the things these criminals can get away with is.... CRIMINAL.

As you can only imagine what my American boyfriend has told me to go get for my own protection lol... yah no not hapnin'.

And he keeps wanting to send me pepper spray, fully legal there for women to carry BUT NO... not here. He just doesn't get it.

He wasn't impressed at all with the demon story from last night.

Impulse is fine.

I guess they'll ban us from carrying perfume after a while.

I've got another helper starting in a while in the DUNGEON lol.

AND OMG I FOUND roof tiles!! Oh yeah baby! I had emergency roof repairs done this year from have a guess what ripped my roof apart...... GUESS.... you will NEVER guess....

I'll let you have a try though...

Anyway I got an insurance payout and HAVE TO SPEND ALL of it on getting that repaired and one other thing. I have to provide the Invoices should my Ins Co ever ask for them.

SO this will be alot cheaper now. Happy days. I might be able to get them to replace the barge board too ya never know.

I did find ONE baby album. Looks like the rest have been stolen / destroyed by demon.

No family history photos.

So sad.

Stuff might turn up bit by bit but I doubt it.

Now to move those roof tiles lol... the shelves are going around 12 metres long, way down to where the tiles are resting. 2 shelves to start with then going to 3 as it gets to have more room.

OMG SO MUCH PAINT I've found. Good to get 'something back' from demon's business lol.
And a few more of my garden tools I found buried and a few of demon's too.

gotta go
