Walk a mile in my shoes

In a world of our own maybe. That no-one else can share.

But if you were showing me the way Nanna who knows where we might end up!

All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there. And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind when we live in a world of our own.

Sounds very rustic and a lot of hard work! However, a gentle walk, minus the olive/building buckets, sounds quite relaxing, especially in the early evening.

Hmmm ... perhaps I'll join you. And I'll leave the buckets to someone else!

Why would you think such a thing P1ke???

I looked at the photo and now I know where most of my family have gone! LOL. Poor Alex. Why do I think that his Mum laughed her socks off?

Yes this illness is not fun but I am hoping that I have reached the bottom now as I have not got any worse for the last 6 months. I have not gotten any better but as I kept declining over the first 18 months I was getting worried. No one knows how long I will be stuck with it or whether I will recover. I do hope so. I never had that problem with my branch as no one wanted the job and there were never any volunteers. My union was the one that covers all tertiary education workers and my members were the poor technical college cousins, as the Universities got all the attention. I started off moderate but as I saw the dark side of my employer I changed. I was shocked to see how nasty people could be and I was stunned when my own branch secretary changed sides and started harassing a woman with fibromyalgia in the hope that she would resign. I understand how you feel about it. I know that there are good and bad people in anything and sometimes people do not get the support they need. I firmly believed in supporting any member who asked for help even when I did not like them but I found out that in the past there were people who did not get the support they needed and so some people would never rejoin in protest at the way their friends were treated.

CFS is a real horror and people just don't understand how awful it is to suffer from it. I was Branch secretary of my Union for a while but left when my Branch elected a moderate leader, when they wanted a radical, and I was accused of vote rigging! They set the Electoral Reform Society on me, who completely exonerated me, but it left a very bad taste in my mouth and I refused to join any union ever again. However, I am all for defending people's rights provided that those people also recognise that they have responsibilities as well.

Long time since I've worn heels Muncheletto. 6 inches can be such a killer! LOL. Heel I mean.

i knew you'd be able to relate p1ke!! xxx

LOL. It isn't a literal phrase. It means to experience life as you see it.

I'm astonished and flabbergasted at the number of responses which walk down the concrete path. Lash

Thanks friend. It can be a pain at times though. Usually at weeding time. Or at dads bath time. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

That sounds very good Grandpa Bob. Lovely in fact.

Hope you catch my foot fungus ok that made me toss up a little in my mouth LOL

Sorry raven

Shan't and I've got some cream. Got to say that 6 inch heels are a heck of a job to walk in. Why can't you wear lower heels like lesser mortals?!!

I didn't realise that Tuscon had extremes of weather. Hope that it's not too snowy. I'm sorry that you feel lonely. myLot solved that for me and in fact now I get out a whole load more too thanks to the encouragement and support of my friends here.

I have some of those things Elitess but as a student I suspect that I too would be a privacy seeker. Not too private. I don't want to be all alone all the time.

I like odd grocery trips. How odd could they get I wonder? Fish and chips o the beach is one of my favourite combinations of food and venue. Now as to hubby ravishing me. I used to have a labrador that humped my leg; so long as there are no tongues............. LOL.

You don't get away that easily. Poor chap. Does he know how maligned he is? If he's anything like me he will know only too well!

I'm sure my husband would hump your leg if you'd like. And buy you fish'n'chips afterwards. (He's a very good sport!)

I think that your shoes might just pinch a little Tamara! LOL. XX

You're a rare breed Lash. A plumber who doesn't believe that he's the Messiah. Never heard of such a person - sorry deity! Over here a considerable donation to the Church of Copper Pipe is essential if one is to experience a second coming to get the water turned on again! I've read one or two of your responses and like what I've read. I'll keep on walking and viewing your thoughts if I may.

I have never been to Snowdonia. I must get up there one day. Closest I've been is probably Chester!

you should it a lovely place to see

Thanks P1ke you always know what to say to make someone feel better,,no wonder your wife loves you.lol Of course you better watch your toes because I haven't been dancing in a very very long time and I am bound to step on a few toes.(HUGS!!)

I'd take the owner of those shoes by the hand and together we would go on an adventure where she would discover that actually she is beautiful inside and out. That there is nothing that she cannot achieve and that she is loved so much. Then we'd come home and drink sparkling lemonade and dance until dawn! XX

This is a small town where there is not much even in the way of crime, police ride bikes in the summer. But yes I have a good neighbor behind me and we do have interesting conversations. When you go to the local store you know many that are in there shopping and they know you as a customer. i would rather live in the dull and feel safe rather than the city where it is a every day round of killings and home invasions.

I'm sure that it can't be that dull. I expect that there are some good people there to chat to at least.

A mile from my house you will find an ancient town and cathedral or an even more ancient castle and site of the former cathedral. I am very lucky where I live. We have downland, 5 rivers and rolling countryside too.

Well, at least I can walk so I am very blessed! We are having spring-like weather here for at least another week after a cold snap, it's going to be a great week!

That sounds so painful. My mother has that at the top of her spine. Your day sounds like mine except I am about to go off to do my bit at the Cathedral. Take it easy and keep warm - it's freezing here.

Crocs aren't pretty, but they are pretty comfortable. But your feet and back sound a real problem. I've been through the teenager thing it doesn't improve with age, just gets more expensive! But we'd have a fun on our walk you can bet. Even if I had to carry you!

Thank you... you are very thoughtful. :)

I'm exhausted just reading about it Humbug! Not really, but I can imagine that it is hard work on your own. Still, when they get home you'll be there with a big hug for each of them and a hug and grin back and that can't be beat!

Absolutely p1kef1sh I wouldn't change my life for all the tea in China!!
