Best Friends Club

Re: Best Friends Club

@Former-Member I had picked out a few colour options and after putting them together came up with a new perspective.   I had initially had 2 different whites to choose from Vivid and Natural, having seen them on the wall I felt that Vivid was just too bright and would become a bit glaring, so I guess that was one change I made.  

 

There were 2 slightly different greys as well being used for different aspects and I was going to do them close to each other as well. However, once the colour testing was done and the drying was completed, I found that it was easier to go for just the one grey instead of them both.  They look similar wet but are completely different dry and I think it reduces the visual strain and work by going for just the 1 other grey.

@Arbie_wun that's the thing with paints,  they can look similar when wet but once dry completely different. Wouldn't want a bright glare all day long so glad you chose the natural one. Sounds like you made a good choice with the grey and definitely will be less visual strain and work.

hi @Former-Member 

Is it an issue with your parents ?

At 57 years old I get huge support from my Step mother who lives in Boston. I only met her when my father died of cancer and she and I talk on an app almost every day. 

It's weird o never ever had support for years. It's like I didn't know how to get it.

Hi @PeppyPatti I'm not quite sure if this post was meant for me?

 

I only have a mother and she really isn't a part of my life. 

 

Im glad that you have that support, life is hard enough let alone when you have mental health issues.

Re: Best Friends Club

@Jynx i totally missed this post. That's just one of the many things she did to me. But that's all in the past now, although the damage she did and the trauma it's left me is something I live with every day. I'd say she can't hurt me anymore but she still contact to do so. 

 

Looney tunes was awesome but yes there's a few episodes that really should have never been made.

 

I don't do crowded places but in saying that I do like to hunt around in op shops for DVDs, so i push through the anxietysometimes. The biggest issue i have is that I have 5 DVD racks and they are all completely full 😂.

Re: Best Friends Club

@Former-Member Morning Grems. Big shopping complexes are like casinos for shoppers. They freak me out, because can’t see the outside world.

Some Op Shops have that weird odour and are quite expensive. I still have a look in the hope of finding a bargain for something I need.

You mentioned Looney Tunes. I loved Animaniacs.

Re: Best Friends Club

@Glisten yeah I hate that you can't see out, just makes you feel like you are trapped. 

 

I think all op shops have that weird odour. They are ridiculously expensive these days but every now and then you can find a bargain. 

 

Oh yes animaniacs was funny. 

Re: Best Friends Club

Of course it is @Former-Member 

 

I beg you to take 💜❤️ heart. 

I beg you to wrap an aura of positive around you. 

It takes a long time to feel comfortable about this and no worries until your ready. 

 

I read your lovely messages. Maybe this is all you can do at the present moment. 

 

There is always another much worse story out there. 

 

I enjoy writing to you

Thanks for your kind words @PeppyPatti . 

 

I hope you are doing well ❤️

Re: Best Friends Club

@rav3n @Former-Member , I love the Simpson's and Futurama! Although I have to admit the new episodes of the Simpson's are not as funny.

How are you both?

Saturday night, I'm enjoying some relaxing jazz music after listening to my husband have a rant all day. Exhausting but I feel so much stronger now where I just walk away and know it is nothing to do with me but his inability to self regulate. I filled my cup but seeing friends and talking the doggy for a walk.

I hope everyone is having a good Saturday 

@Shaz51 @Gremlin24 @tyme and everyone 🫂🫂🫂
