DragonflytotheMoon @aninditasen As a multi abuse survivor I do my best to be kind to others. I know what it's like to be mistreated. If I need to give feedback I try to be as pleasant about it as possible.

DragonflytotheMoon I appreciate that. Is your name, Umi, Noor or UmiNoor? I'm holding steady right now. One thing I've learned is what self care I need. Laughter is a big part of that. I also like watching singing auditions & animal rescue.

I like sales & to go to bargain/discount/thrift shops. Often, the quality between item A, B, C or D is the same or similar. If you're also able to save with B, it seems the obvious choice. One thing I will spend more on is, car...

DragonflytotheMoon Hi, Anindita. That's a very pretty name. What does it mean? Thanks for your good wishes. It seems like there would be more sites like this. For every topic there's multiple sites for it. It seems it would be the same for this. I'd prefer to be doing more...

DragonflytotheMoon Hi, Anna. Thanks. I appreciate that. I had been support staff for developmentally challenged adults. Helping them with goals, behaviors & taking them on activities. Very joyful & rewarding. But, it could also be stressful at times. I'm also supposed to...

DragonflytotheMoon @mythociate Besides both of their names ending in, lock, no. Speaking of Sherlock. There's a lot of fans, including myself, that would like a 5th series. Benedict Cumberbatch & Martin Freeman are both so busy with other projects.

DragonflytotheMoon @kaylachan How many do you have? I've mainly had kitties in my life. Right now, besides two cats, I also have two small senior dogs. All adopted from the shelter where I volunteer. They provide such comfort & support.

DragonflytotheMoon @cherigucchi Some areas may have less opportunities than others. But, there's always something that someone can do to help. If they want to. That's the operative word. Want.

Not literally. That's when you've decided to end association with a person or situation. Or, they have with you. For myself, I say, that I don't burn bridges unless I never intend to pass that way again. I may not continue on with...

DragonflytotheMoon @eileenleyva Ties need to be cuts sometimes. Or, at least, association limited. Depending on who they are. As someone who has suffered abuse & trauma throughout my life, I understand the need for this. Forgive, for one's own peace of mind & to be able to move...
