@hypatkesq I don't want a message. Chat right here.

@DealsHunt3r Age matters. A twenty something has less experience and wisdom than an almost 50 something. There is nothing wrong with the difference. I am looking for a peer to chat with.

@BtoDee Thank you for answering my question. I noticed you changed your profile name and photos. Pictures are one thing, but being indecisive on your name is not a great sign of stability. I hope you find what you're looking for.

@B-an-Dee Hi.
Question.
What do you mean by, "... I have... a lot of good sits in me"? [sic]
Is that a UK term?

@hypatkesq I just joined this site 4 days ago. I am not interested in following anyone unless I have good reason to.

I would like to chat with a contemporary and peer similar to my age of 45.

You didn't specify which holiday

According to Guinness, the fastest sneeze in the world was clocked at 167 km/h.
The only reason I know this is because I own a Book of World Records

Humans can be the worst monsters of all.

@Sushiiii Thank you. I cry for her every day.

My cat, RIP, acted like a guard dog. Whenever there was a noise, she would jump to attention, meow and stick out her tail and stare at the door.

She was amazing and I had her trained to do several things including fetch, roll over, play dead, speak, dance, high five/ten and so much more.

She also saved my life on several occasions when I developed a unique liver disease and would predict my episodes 12 hours before they would occur by laying on my side; something she would never do otherwise.

She had a friendship with a crow from spring until autumn. Everyday she would sit on the deck and growl like a dog at the crow and the crow would caw back. They would chatter for hours everyday.

This spring after her death the crow came back to visit every day and my cat was gone. He would caw and caw all day like he was crying for his kitty friend who used to visit with him, but his kitty was no longer there. Then one day in late summer after months of persistent calling, the day grew silent and I realized that my bird buddy had finally flown away.

I miss them both.😭

As a frequent visitor to the USA 🇺🇸 my word is "Hospitality".

I have two favourites. Poppies and the Bleeding Heart.

@Lonelyloser Hi, I'm 45 and have been struggling with suicidal ideation for forty years. Yes, since the age of five I have had thoughts of killing myself so I know exactly what you are going through mentally. Although everyone's personal experience and degree of struggle is different, the pain and suffering is real for all of us who find ourselves in the bottom of the black hole.

I am speaking from years of experience when I say that sometimes we don't get over it. However we do find a way through it. I still experience triggers every day that remind me that I have to manage a very delicate relationship between my emotions and irrational thoughts. It took years of therapy and training to learn to develop proper coping skills and train my brain to recognize negative triggers. Once we know what is behind our negative thinking, we can move toward positive change even by taking small steps.

When you think about the big picture of our mental health, we are responsible for it ourselves alone. No one else can change it for us. So in a way, you are right that we are in a sense lonely. However, we can Express small amounts of gratitude and be thankful for little things like WiFi, or the internet, or chatrooms. If we do that, we might gain an increment of happiness in knowing that we really aren't alone.

You reached out. People responded. It's a positive step forward in the right direction. Trust me when I day that it's not easy. I know. It may be a life long fight. But as long as you keep reaching out, you will not battle alone. ❌🔴❌🔴❤❤❤
