Bemused Bystander

Line of Duty, Broadchurch, The Walking Dead and I’m in the middle of watching Lost.

Love Scandal but didn’t know about the spin off from The Good Wife, so thanks for the Lady Kenters.

My ‘go to’ channel is the Food Network. I want to be Pioneer Woman

Having just taken a quick look at another thread (can ‘t remember the name of it, but you’ll know which one I mean), I think the answer to the question is a resounding ‘yes’.

Is the content of the last few pages really for public consumption?

Maybe this conversation would be better off had via email/skype.

Isn’t it interesting how people can read the same text, yet interpret it completely differently. 

A cup is 240ml.

I’m not sure it’s that women have it any harder than men online. Maybe some are just an easier target?

For me it’s more about the abuser than the abusee. Once an abuser finds the soft spot of any abusee, they can prod and poke until the abusee is all but flayed publicly.

Is the majority of abuse male to female? I don’t think so. Male to female…[Read more]

That is so very true. One lovely chatter (and I mean that sincerely, she is lovely) will mention the latest cruise she’s been on and that she’s booked her next break. Others in the room will comment on how lovely that is and can they go with her next time. Someone else mentions a holiday and it’s totally turned on its head. Accused of boasting…[Read more]

I think most of us been bitten by giving too much away at one time or another, but it’s a lesson quickly learned.

I’m sure many will remember Mrs Teapot’s thread about her experience.

Hers wasn’t in the room, it was with someone she believed she could trust and the conversation(s) took place in pm.

It’s so very difficult to know when to trust…[Read more]

You do realise that you’re on this site too, don’t you….

I had a fear of mittens.

I thought that if I wore them too long my fingers would fuse together and I’d be left with penguin like flippers at the end of my hands.  

Cue youtube link

When I was a child, my grandad told me that when I had pins and needles in my hand or foot I should spit on my fingers and rub the inside of my elbow (for my hand) or the back of my knee (for my foot) and it would make the pins and needles go away…

It didn’t dawn on me until I was in my late 30s (when I had pins and needles and found myself…[Read more]

Tavo (according to Urban Dictionary) A friendly Mexican fella with a backwards hat and beard that is entirely too well maintained. But otherwise pretty cool.

Tova – from what I can make out, is a line of skincare, fragrance and jewellery available at QVC. 

I think this thread has gone from disturbing to distasteful very rapidly.

As lots of previous posts have acknowledged, many of us have lost loved ones in difficult circumstances to say the least.

When those circumstances have been explained (as requested), that someone else questions them, almost accusing them of lying is totally abhorrent.

And…[Read more]

Another one bites the dust.

Mutual ‘liking’  

But it’s the same thing time and time and time again.

Get over it (whatever ‘it’ is! :scratch:) and move on!

Maybe she’s Alfie really…..

How about this thread returns to ‘What Made You Smile Today’?

The only people who ‘know’ the truth is those who were there at the time. All of the others only know what they’re told.
