argh yeah.
i’m in the middle of caring for a loved one with bipolar , borderline personality disorder, ptsd, adhd who just is in the tail end of a manic episode ( lasted a couple of months) and now going into the depressive state.

and caring for her two kids (8 and 2)

i’m a loner by nature and i honestly don’t know the last time i’ve had a moment to sit alone and do nothing.

it’s difficult but then we love them and so what’s the option ?

some days i’m so close to just walking and not stopping.
there’s literally a trail right near my house that’s 1000kms all the way to my old home town. with friends and family.

i’d love to do that walk one day. alone.
but i’m getting older and have health issues so times running out. but i can dream.

:)

I can relate to that! I'm a loner by nature too and miss my alone time, but we keep on doing what we do out of love. Never stop dreaming Harry, sometimes that's all you have, and your important too!

Read this @Sedge - it's a long piece but worth it. Lifts the veil on the relentless BULLSHIT we are all spoon fed on a daily basis.

theshot.net.au

You are being remorselessly gaslit about Israel's colonisation of Palestine - The Shot

It's not actually 'complicated', it's brutal colonisation.

That’s a big read but I’ll comment on some of it,,

First I don’t know why he is so aghast at the loss of reporters in a war zone,,,it was their choice to go there knowing the dangers ,,
So sadly, some ended up dead ,,thats the shit that happens when you enter a war zone ,,No ones fault but their own.
He even admits it’s the most dangerous places on earth for a reporter
Don’t know why he isn’t winging about their stupid decisions,.
He calls their demise as a targeted massacre,
Targetted ? Really ?,
they were collateral damage,, ,,wrong place ,wrong time,,but using words like massacre is a bit over the top and par for the course with most reporters now days ,,I for one am sick of hearing personal nuances/inflections from any reporters ,,just give me the news without letting your own opinions get in the way and clouding things up.
Which is the main reason I detest the main news channels and don’t watch the idiot box.

As for it being a part of colonisation ,,first I’ll say ,that if he is so against colonisation ,,,Does he own land and a home in Australia ?
And when is he going to hand it over to the original aborigines that had the land,,,seeing he is so against colonisation ?
It’s so easy to virtue signal ,,but who actually lives by it ,,

Bet you’d be hard pressed to find just one of those Free Palestine protesters that would be willing to house any refugee from Palestine. Social media is full of virtue signallers who’s real value is less than a dime a dozen.

Hamas could have stopped it all by releasing the hostages but they refused at every opportunity, ,knowing full well that the average Palestinian would suffer at the hands of Israel bombing.
Hamas also knew the expected response from their attack on Israel would result in carnage,,
Hamas, hezbolla and Iran don’t give a fuck about the Palestinian people
.
Why then does he not report on that simple part of this disaster ?
Instead he chooses sides with terrorists .
The same terrorists that would joyfully dance in the streets at hearing of any disaster that would befall the likes of you or me.

Well I could go on with saying shit you probably don’t want to hear ,but that’s ok we all have different opinions.
And I’m sticking by mine.

Never thought I’d be saying this but the world needs a bit more of Rick, seems like a good guy.

Unlike many of the bad cunts on the multiple sides of conflict in the ME (and elsewhere).

There are bad cunts all around the world, many in Hamas, Hezbollah and the IDF - which was originally formed from multiple ‘terrorist’ or paramilitary organisations seeking to establish the state of Israel.

There are bad cunts in the IRA, INLA and British police and military. I’m fairly sure there are plenty of good cunts involved in those organisations too, just different circumstances led them into where they find themselves.

Greedy selfish bad cunts have a strong tendency to rise to the top of most countries (and organisations). Australia as great as it is, is no different, no shortage of them here either, but that’s another topic.

So imo it’s all complicated. If u feel differently, then, with some respect, maybe u don’t know much about what ur talking about.

‘One persons terrorist is another’s freedom fighter’ - Gerald Seymour. He’s worth a google if u have any interest in conflict reporting and time in ur hands

True the only difference between freedom fighters and terrorist is sanctions of the government of said operations

A Chinese Doctor can't find a job in a Hospital, so he opens his own clinic and puts a sign outside reading 'GET TREATMENT FOR $20 - IF NOT CURED GET BACK $100.'

A lawyer thinks this is a great opportunity to earn $100 and goes to the clinic.

Lawyer: "I have lost my sense of taste."

Chinese: "Nurse, bring medicine from box No. 14 and put 3 drops in patient's mouth."

Lawyer: "Ugh. this is kerosene."

Chinese: "Congrats, your sense of taste is restored. Give me my $20."

The annoyed lawyer goes back after a few days to try to recover his money.

Lawyer: "I have lost my memory. I can’t remember anything."

Chinese: "Nurse, bring medicine from box no. 14 and put 3 drops in his mouth."

Lawyer (annoyed): "This is kerosene. You gave this to me last time for restoring my taste."

Chinese: "Congrats. You got your memory back. Give me $20."

The fuming lawyer pays him, then comes back a week later determined to get back $100.

Lawyer: "My eyesight has become very weak I cannot see at all."

Chinese: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that, so take this $100."

Lawyer (staring at the note): "But this is $20, not $100!”

Chinese: "Congrats, your eyesight is restored. Give me $20"

A young girl takes a pregnancy test, which unfortunately shows a positive result. She tells her mother. Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, “Who was the pig that did this to you? I want to know!”

The girl picks up the phone and makes a call. Half an hour later, a Ferrari stops in front of their house. A mature and distinguished man with gray hair and impeccably dressed in an Armani suit steps out of the of the Ferrari and enters the house. He sits in the living room with the father, mother, and the girl and tells them:

“Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem. I can’t marry her because of my personal family situation but I’ll take charge.”

“I will pay all costs and provide for your daughter for the rest of her life. Additionally, if a girl is born, I will bequeath a Ferrari, a beach house, two retail stores, a townhouse, a beachfront villa, and a $4,000,000 bank account. If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a $4,000,000 bank account.”

“If twins, they will receive a factory and $2,000,000 each. However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest I do?”

At this point, the father, who had remained silent, places a hand firmly on the man’s shoulder and tells him, “You fuck her again.”

A family of Collingwood supporters heads out one Saturday morning to do their Christmas shoplifting. While in Rebel Sports the son picks up a Geelong footy jumper and says to his 10 year old sister, "Hey, Pox Face, I've decided to become a Geelong supporter and I want this for Christmas."

His sister, outraged by this, promptly whacks him around the head with her carton of Winfield's and says, "Dickhead, go talk to mum."

Off goes the little lad with the Geelong jumper stuffed up his T-shirt and finds his mum.

"Mum?"

"Yeah, son?"

"I've decided I'm going to be a Geelong supporter and I want this jumper for Christmas".

His mother is outraged at this and throws her moccasins and a full stubbie of VB at him, smacks him in the gob and says, "We'll see about that, you little creep, we'll go 'n talk to your father!"

Off they go to the local prison during visiting hours, with footy jumper in hand, to find Moose, his toothless and heavily tattooed father.

"Dad?"

"Yeah, Knackers?"

"Dad, I've decided I'm going to be a Geelong supporter and I want this jumper for Christmas".

Moose goes berserk and gives his son an almighty backhander and snarls, "No bastard of mine is ever going to be seen wearing that shit!" and then kicks the young lad's arse from one end of the rec-room to the other, just for good measure.

About half an hour later, mum, daughter and battered son are all back in the rusty old Falcon, heading towards home. Mum turns to her son and says, "Knackers, have you learned something today?"

The son responds: "Bloody oath I have!"

"Good, Knackers, what is it?"

The son replies, "I've only been a Geelong supporter for a day and already I hate you fucking Collingwood pricks!
