... Gardenia .. @Sophia1 😇

hi @Sophia1 

really nice to catch up with you too, i know you have been taking a break, i feel the same as you, we chat when we can 🙂

BMX bike is on hold, i am renovating my sun room, walls, ceiling painted, ceiling panels and batotns replaced from all the water damage and windows stripped back to raw timber, fixed from water damage and repainted, i have been at it for 3 weeks now, i should be done this week.

i love chatting about the garden too, gardinias are deciduous so it does not matter in the winter where you put them, if you have a greenhouse it might be different, in the winter months i put all 7 of mine under cover and put the pots as close together as i can to protect them from frosts. 

it may be different where you live, we can get to -5 in the winter. 

that is a good idea to try a little sea sol on one to see how it goes, they only need 1 feed every 3 months, don't over do it.

mum and my girlfriend are well, both had a good break over christmas and are looking forward to the new year.

i hope things are going well with your husband and sons.

hugs my friend

Hello my lovely @Jacques 

As always I do feel warmed by your responses.

You certainly sound as though you are a very resourceful and industrious person...

Given the fact that you have such a vast knowledge and expertise of computer systems .....

I realise that you are extremely intelligent and hide that from the forums...

Modesty is a quality that many do not have...

So yet another attribute which I personally admire as I follow in this same line of thinking...from my part...a continuance from my upbringing...

one that I do think is a plus..

In this world today most are so ready to spout about achievements rather than listen to someone in need of being heard perhaps?

how would one know?

The answer is one would not and therefore always be open to listening..

You have taught me something else as well that gardenias are deciduous..

I do not actually have a greenhouse (what I would consider to be a structure with glass)

I have what was going to be a cat house exercise and fun structure when we had both cats...Then sadly one had to leave due to ill health with only one remaining.

Our remaining very spoilt boy is still at a loss without the company of the other two previous cats; family members..

why would he not...

It therefore followed that he would not and did not have any interest whatsoever in playing in an outside cat house on his own.

The original intent was due to not having enclosed gardens at front and sides.

There was a need for them not to have free roaming as they had on 5 acres...(caring for wildlife as well as his own life)

Not happy at all...

Hard to adapt and I do not think that he ever will understand there not being other cats or animals as companions or at least household pet family..

We have decided at this stage to not have any more as hope to at some point travel!!

This of course is questionable....when??

We have a very large carrier for a dog that we use for our spoilt cat so that he has room..

Why not?

He is only allowed outside with us briefly as he pushes the limits...

Interesting that I have no issues around traveling yet isolate within my home area...

I am pushing myself again to begin walking in the park across the road..

I am terrified of snakes at this time of year also..

I am of course having grave concerns around omicron or whatever the latest Greek alphabet version is...

This I have to come to terms with as life now and onward...

Keep up vaccinations as with flu and in earlier time... polio, smallpox, cholera, measles, tuberculosis, as well as so much more..

Hopefully some of the very materialistic, egotistical, selfish people might learn something from this..

Then again they wont read this will they laugh...

So pleased to read that apart from your working so hard your mum and girlfriend are doing well..

All the best to all of you my friend..

Sophia 1

big hugs.....

Hello dear @Emelia8 

I am so dreadfully sorry that I have not written to you.

I have read some of your posts and how you are in so much pain and suffering on top of dealing with your grief.

Your beautiful dog Holly; also with her own health issues holds on tightly to life to stay with you despite her own health issues. She wants to be there for you as her love and loyalty is unquestionably so very strong..

I have had extreme back pain but not nerve pain that you are enduring..

You however have constant pain and nerve pain that I have only read about not experienced...

Inability to sleep I am familiar with..

Your situation is out of physical pain..

Mine has now reached the stage of losing faith with almost all of humanity..

Are you able to leave the house still?

Dear @Clawde 

I wanted to thank your quiet support of my posts about the place.

I am not aware of a place where you write about yourself or if you do..

If there is such a place please tag me if you feel comfortable in doing so as I sincerely would like to support you..

I have observed that you have and continue to support several people which is a very caring gesture and I want you to be able to feel that yourself...

If you already are and that is enough... I will be relieved to know..'

You are a very caring person who definitely deserves to read and or hear those words

Dear @Adge 

Your situation with work or work experience or work training continues to sound untenable..

There has to be a position within this incompetent organisation where you can address your concerns and affect on your health as a result of this deplorable treatment..

If not then there is or was an office within the government called

We are part of the national network of disability advocacy organisations funded by the Australian Government through the Department of Social Services.

Yes another government department however if you are not up to approaching them yourself ask for assistance as you are entitled to receive help that suits your needs.

These departments that you are dealing with are not communicating with one another (not unusual) this is not your issue and they are literally bullying you..

Ring Sane and ask for further guidance to reassure you that you are well within your rights..

This whole situation has been dreadful from the start and violated your rights.

At the same time if you do need assistance in following through with an advocacy service it is in no way a slur, or failure on your part.

You have done and worked above and beyond what is humanely acceptable given the medical certification that you have...

I am astounded that whoever provided you with the certificate has not provided further documentation supporting you..(Let them know also...)

This the advocacy will do on your behalf...

You must be absolutely exhausted and deflated....No small wonder...

You can use copy of your posts without breaching confidentiality to assist with providing information to the advocacy.

People are not allowed to treat you in this manner any more Adge.

This must stop now.

Please let me know what actions you follow and any outcome..

I am behind you all of the way..

I am sick to death of people being mistreated and nothing being done..

I am following through with clarification on information myself and getting the run around but that will not stop or deter me..

I might rest.

I will be back though..

I am here for you Adge...

Tag me..

Dear @Former-Member 

I have noticed your support and thank you.

I am not sure how long that you have been on the forums as I am here on and off as part of time out, self care...

I read your latest post on the worry room and wanted to let you know that I hear what you are saying..

It is a dreadful feeling of not being heard....I know this only too well..

My older son does also and hence I continue to listen to him as long as I can when he rings and is incoherent..

Everyone needs to feel that someone somewhere is listening...

I know that I am not the only one listening to you though there are others....not everyone hits that support button..

they read and take note though..

Continue to speak up and express your thoughts..

An important part of what the forums are about...

I am often not about taking breaks...

I do pop in though every now and again...

Will look out for you if you need someone to listen..

Take care

Sophia1💜
