Needy and/or demanding men aren't what a woman is looking for.

Currently watching "The Sandman".
It an okay series, but at times long-winded and really slow. I prefer a bit faster paced.
But since I'm knitting at night, intricate stuff, it's okay to have this on, hihi.

Another thing that I miss in the series: he's the King of Dreams and has powers. I've watched 6 episodes and have yet to see his powers.

The show is heavily relying on his rather gothicy & creepy appearance.

I started a new canvas a week and a half ago.
There were a few things I wanted to have in it, but I had to figure out how to merge these.
That didn't go as smoothly as planned, but I'm getting there now :)

Still a lot of work to be done!

Me is also 100% clean of that poison.

So are my direct family like both my adult children, son in law, and my mother.

RESULT: we're all healthy!!

I would also prefer a partner by my side who's clean.

I use AdBlock & Chrome.
No ads.

If I had to go through ads and popups here I'd be long gone.

Of late I do get nagged here with a popup to switch off my AdBlock. Nope. I click that popup away. Does come up at every page I visit.
I can sort of live with that. But not with ads.

The OP is difficult to follow.
Could be she wrote it in her own language and had Google translate it to English.

Many series, one of them is Star Trek Strange New Worlds.
And I just learnt that season 3 has come out in July :)

The Night Agent was/is a good series!

OT - I was watching "Extinction" last night but then realised it was about AI "people' who had taken over our planet by killing off almost the entirety of human beings.
At first it gave the impression that we humans came under attack of aliens.

At some point you see an AI bashing in the head of a human. I got sick to the stomach as this subject is dangerously close to becoming reality.

Even Stephen Hawking warned about the dangers of AI and that it could pose a real threat to human survival.

I switched it off to watch another movie, "10.5: Apocalypse".

With the help of artificial intelligence, a clearer footage of Patterson–Gimlin β€˜Bigfoot' film was obtained, and proved that it was clearly just a guy in a gorilla costume all along.

Just goes to show you cannot rely on AI.
Experts have proven it to be real. The way the hairs (like the hackles standing up in her neck) and muscles move could not be faked at the time.
The fur fabric you could buy back then didn't look anything like real fur. Nor were there computers and CGI and whatnot to make fake moving images.
The only logical explanation by experts was that it is a real living walking and breathing creature and NOT a human in a suit.

Great to read! Good luck with it all, very exciting.

If you do start a FB page bear in mind you will get a lot of flak and ridicule.
Just look at the FB Expedition Bigfoot Fan page and read some of the horrible replies of people.
Are you up for that?
On that page it isn't really moderated, although there are moderators. I think they somehow benefit from all the attention?
In any case, just so you have an idea what you're up against.

There are still so many idiots out there that don't believe Bigfoot is real until one is killed and dissected. The old-fashioned barbaric way of having proof.

Anyhow, enjoy the journey! It's not for nothing this came on your path!
And LiDar is great in Bigfoot research!
In Expedition Bigfoot this LiDar expert captured one on handheld LiDar. He couldn't see Bigfoot but the image was clear!

Hi SparklingCrystal
Thank you for your tender yet specific questioning.

Being vague in my case is a defence mechanism, it allows me to potentially date laddies and see if we initially match.

I suppose my question should have been;
When is a good time to disclose illnesses that effect the mood?

Can people that have ups and downs that are medicated lead a truly happy life?

There it is
Laid down bare for strangers to see and hopefully share with me their honest and respectful views.
Thanks

Hi John!
In a way I feel the first part of what I wrote in my previous reply still goes:

What impact will it have on the other person?
How often does it occur, how bad does it get? Are there also stable times? Does it impact finances (unable to work), Is it very trying for the other person?
Does it limit what you can share together? Does it mean you regularly have to spend time apart? and so on and so forth.


When to tell is always difficult. Right of the bat is not giving yourself a chance, but waiting too long so the other person could be emotionally invested, isn't fair.

So I'd say after at least some conversation, maybe phone calls, but before you meet.
OR...
on the first meet.

WOW! That is totally amazing, and also beautiful!
Weren't you scared though, even a little bit? I mean, usually they make themselves scarce but they are strong, fast, and big, hihi.
Were you alone?
Anyhow, amazing experience!!

What sort of treatment is your mother taking? I have had a bit of experience with this sort of thing and it is hard to watch the progression of this disease.
First, remember it is a sickness you are dealing with and not totally their fault as the way the thoughts come out. It is a tough journey ahead with basically zero help from medical science. A massive dose for vitamin B12 tends to allow return of some sanity in my experience but it is trial and error to find something that works. Consult the doctor about dosing. 2500mcb a couple times a day worked pretty good for my dad.
I have also seen apples and apple pie work for bringing them back from not knowing who I was at all.
Keep your sanity and best of luck!

Thank you!
She's not on anything. It's in very early stages. And whatever she takes aside from her regular medication, throws her body out of whack. She has issues with bloodpressure, INR, heart, easily gets dizzy (because of that).
Whenever she takes something that could remedy these issues, and the early signs of dementia, it triggers her heart or INR and blood-pressure and so on.
That's the problem.
If only she could take hormones all these issues would be remedied. But even the lowest most minute topically applied dab of hormone cream throw has her entire system off-kilter.
She had the same with top quality algae oil capsules, CoQ10 and so on.

Great movie!

You are describing women who are using their sexuality to get what they want. This pleases everyone except those whose antique standards are used to oppress women.

So what are you saying? You have antique standards? Or are you one of the perves who loves such photos?
Not certain, but it doesn't sound you understand the point I was making.

Women who post, "hey look down my blouse, or up my skirt" type photos are usually scammers or ads for porn sites.

Women who have to put their azz on display to fill concert halls are usually mediocre singers backed up by over produced music.

Me thinks you are right.

We have to stop competing and develop self-love and self-respect as opposed to dimming our Light.

Same thing for female singers, seems they have to
get half naked anymore to attract enough
attention just to sing..think Miley Cyrus,
Taylor Swift.
Why?
The voice improve with a draft?

Thank you for that feedback, Kristi!
Much appreciated.
If she gets to the point she cannot live alone any longer she will go in the home that is kind of part of the individual senior homes she now lives in.
It's not that far yet though. Wait and see.
It'll be sad to have that happen as she then will only have the one room in which you cannot fit a lot of things. But it is what it is.

And you're right, women have this way more often than men.
Women have a very high risk of dementia due to hormone loss after menopause.
It's one of these big things, I believe 65% for women, that you can develop, unless you use hormone replacement.

I'm not surprised that in men it works out differently either. Lack of hormones also can make someone moody and/or angry.

I know all that, but it's extremely hard to deal with when it's your mother.
I think it's easier with a stranger as you're not attached to them, they're not in your inner circle.
When it's your own mother that treats you like chit you automatically feel like "WTH are you thinking treating me this way?!"
In a way it's like starting to say goodbye while she's still alive. It's not like she's completely lost it, yet, but I nevertheless have to bear in mind that she's not her normal self anymore.

In any case, I will see her again tomorrow when we visit my daughter and granddaughters.
Hopefully that's enough distraction to make it easier.

Thank you again, Kristi! VEry helpful.
If I feel I need it I will find a group on FB.

Okay :) Time to paint!
I want to finish my painting.
All that remains is the tiniest little glimmer in an eye.
I've done that 4x already, didn't work out.
I hope I can now get it done!!
The other eye worked out in 1 go.
Fingers crossed!
