I mention this because in all my 50 years,,,I never thought I would end up in hospital,,,I have always been active, I have always worked, and this time last year,,I was indeed almost 4 stone heavier,,So when I turned 50 last May,,it made me realise I needed to change, so I began by losing weight,,
Yes I indeed feel a lot better for the weight loss, However what I never anticipated was that I would end up in hospital for almost a fortnight, ,,( I do not wish to discuss what was wrong ),,but it really made me think while I was in hospital.
One thing I realised,,No matter what amount of money one possesses, what home one lives in, what car one drives and what holidays one goes on,,all that becomes so very meaningless if you do not have the one thing that matters more than anything,,and that is your health and well being.
I share this with you all because from time to time I go into the main room, I see people sniping, arguing, having a go at people and somewhat trying to be the BIG I AM,,when the reality is,,they are no more than the BIG I AM NOT..,,,( No offence intended ). But that is how I personally see it.
The way I look at this,,,it is a chat room,,no more, no less. It is an opportunity for people to converse and have a break away from things from time to time,,yet some are on a mission to get involved with other peoples lives.
Have I upset anyone from time to time,,who knows,,but certainly not deliberate and i do not go into the room on some mission to look for a fight with fellow chatters.
Yes a while ago,,in fact several years back,,I indeed posted a comment on the boards,,but more of my own thoughts on peoples behaviour,,and how much some seem to get involved way to much into the lives of others,,,However,,the other side of that statement is if people were not so keen to reveal all in a chat room then there would be no one to get involved with the lives of others and to use it against them at a later time.
As already mentioned,,I bring this up because while I was in hospital,,I had a lot of time to think about life, and what is really important,,,,the reality is,,Arguing in a chat room or bringing things up to hurt or upset fellow chatters at a later time is not important,,All that does it show others what type of person one really is.
Stay happy everyone and indeed healthy.
That’s a very heartfelt thought provoking post Angela. Everyone at times posts or says something that others may take offence to or dislike. As a poster or chatter cannot hear the intonation in one’s voice many things can be misconstrued resulting in people reading into things that simply aren’t there.
It’s bound to happen if we choose to converse in such a way through the internet and it’s down to us all to deal with it. We are after all are grown ups and are able to make our judgements and choices about those we wish to continue to listen to or not.
As you say regular holidays in a sun soaked paradise, a 4×4 or detached 5 bed doesn’t cut it, happiness and good health and love of a good family and friends does!
I hope your on the mend and welcome to the boards.

well, some of us play at being ‘grownups’.
Very heartfelt post, Angela, hope you’re feeling better.
I’m not one to post my life story in a chatroom, but I have mentioned a few anecdotes on my life in main in the past.
In May 2014 my dog started having some health issues, in October 2014 it was diagnosed with Cushing’s Disease. I once mentioned this in main to another chatter who’s apparently an animal lover … and guess what, within a couple of days another chatter (Thea 61), mentioned her own dog had been diagnosed with the same disease .
What made me doubt that this was true, was the fact that when questioned on said disease, this evil troll (yes, as I believe that is a troll), hadn’t the faintest idea of the symptoms, etc.Then, in February 2015 my dog died, and I mentioned it in the room.
After that, each time said troll would see me in main, it would mention her dog undergoing treatment for the disease (it must have done some googling. in the meantime especially on cost of treatment, as it still didn’t seem to know much about the disease itself, besides that).
Each time she’d mention it, I would tell her to give it a rest with the lies as it was becoming tedious …. and all it would reply was that just because my dog died of the disease didn’t mean hers had to, too.A couple of weeks ago, this troll mentioned that it’s dog was no longer eating or drinking and within a few days it announced that the dog was dead.
The sad thing about all this, is that most of the chatters were calling me paranoid about this whole thing, which was rather sickening.
They actually believed what this troll was saying was true ( or just playing along with it, who knows), and I was the one in the wrong not believing it as I had no proof of it not being true.
I am not stupid, I know a liar and a troll when I come across one.
What I have learnt from this, is to never, EVER disclose anything which could affect you, as in terms of feelings, in a public chatroom, as there are some pretty evil, pathetic people lurking about in there just waiting to pounce.Or develop a thick skin and say what you want and fuck em
shocked at what Pete proposes to do
To rail against them is pointless as is becoming agitated, depressed or emotional and let’s face it actually compressing their windpipe with your thumbs is highly unlikely to happen. Don’t give them the satisfaction, it’s nothing they’d dare say to your face… so fuck em
Never tell your problems to anyone….20% don’t care and the other 80% are glad you have them.
Angela,bless you.the fact of the matter is you can not control other people’s chat,no matter how offensive it is.i really don’t understand why you would post what you did.you have watched joker say the most awful, disgusting things to me,yet when he comes in the room is saw you greet him with hi joker love. I has saw you say in the room you are looking for a relationship.i know that given the chance you’d get involved with one of the biggest trolls on the net. I’ve watched you.
Me,I have a big mouth,I fight with joker all the time,truth is we love each other to bits lol.he and I will always be like that. I won’t do as he wants,so he slagd me but I’m fit for him.
I don’t however try and make myself out to be some sort of of Saint.you too have your agendas.
We have all had that moment, when you think,fgs life’s about so much more. We are human,and we get through life as best we can. Take your halo from around your ankles and enjoy the chat,instead of judging.I’ve never thought of Thea as anything els other than who she says she is.if the vet told me my dog was ill with cushins disease, I wouldn’t have a clue what it is.i what symptoms there are ere ect. Thea has been coming in for a long time and hiv never seen here be evil..she is nice to every one even rev.she has talked about her pets and familey.who am I to say she is not an evil troll though,your just never sure. Lol
