 | |  | | Hi I hope I'm ok here.  I was invited to join the group and I think it's a great idea, as we can all learn off each other. You never know when the tables will turn on us. The human was brought up with the tricks of using old beer crates with sheets draped over them for bedside cabinets. Also they worked great for book shelves too. The human left home when she was 17 and joined the airforce (she lived with her mother). As soon as she joined, her mother left the country to go back to her parent country in Scotland. So she knew then she was on her own. She is 44, (well 45 next week) and always had a job, sometimes holding two jobs at the same time. Only because she wanted to learn a new trade and changed the field she was working in. We have invested (savings), hee hee, they may not have been in the best places but like everything it's all a gamble. It's like life and you never know what may happen. Tomorrow, you could be hit by a bus and off work for months or years, so no one can be complacent. I think life goes in waves like this recession it does happen, even the real estate market talks about it. There is always a bust after a boom and vice-versa. There are always good times and bad times it's like the summer will eventually end and the winter will be around the corner. Sometimes it's a bad winter and sometimes it's mild, but it will always be there. 
Sorry I'm rattling on too much. I think what I'm trying to say is if you think you are at the bottom good news… things will get better, it's just when. You can speed it up, by pushing for it. But also the harder you push the harder you seem to fall (if you don't quiet make it). So take care of yourself too. The human has watched it happen when people go for broke and pushed so hard that they ended up collapsing with exhaustion. So you do need to find happy things to take your mind off it too. Hopefully this group .
I love the recipe thread and would love to try other dishes.
Actually this year seems to be a bad year for many, it’s really really strange. This year the human male lost his father suddenly and it looks like the human females father will go soon too. This year expensive trips have to be made (visiting both families) and the washing machine finally gave up last week after 20 years of fantastic service. We aren’t the only ones to have strange things all happening this year and they aren’t related to the recession so I’m wondering, if it’s just a bad year. Maybe the planets are lined up strangely????? and the magnetic force is affecting a few. Like the winter blues. Or as we say it in Christchurch the Norwest winds really affect peoples thinking. Down there the wind travels across the Canterbury plains heating up and it seems to affect peoples minds. They don’t think straight and many are ratty. It’s really strange to see. So who knows..?????? |  |  | |  |
