Some of the back and forth comments coming out of these adults mouths reminds me of some of the things I used to say when I was 7 or 8 something even younger…

For example Friend A & B have had a major falling out over trivial matters. Friend A has evicted Friend B.

The situation is that Friend A is a known party person & used Friend B as a live in babysitter. Friend A is a very untidy person & Friend B is a clean freak, so we know who cleaned Friend A’s house. Friend B paid her rent plus board at a cost of what I think is way too much.  All Friend B needed was the occasional lift somewhere (Friend B has no licence).

Friend B texted her (now ex) housemate to say that the bins needed to be put out, well Friend A has now abused Friend B for stalking her. Friend B asked to collect the last of her belongings and Friend A  has replied with when I get 2 weeks rent.  Friend B has retaliated with “well I will charge you babysitting fees”, Friend A replied with “well I will add up all the petrol then”.

Seriously a) is the left over goods worth the rent owing? b) would it be worth just paying the $$ owing and have it dealt with? c) are we still children here with the bitching and bickering.

Friend B is now informing me of all the things Friend A has said behind my back… Friend A is telling me how much of a nutcase Friend B is.

I don’t care. We all have a bit of a bitch behind each others backs… Friend A is a habitual liar but I have learnt to deal with that in my own way, while Friend B is a liar but a push over.

Great friends yeah?

I just wish adults would learn to deal with issues in a more, I don’t know, ADULT WAY!

I had a falling out with an old friend of 20yrs who still had stuff at my house. I put it all neatly and carefully in a spot outside where it would not be seen by passer-bys, would not get weather damaged and sent her a message that it was there and what time I would not be there to afford an uncomfortable meeting.  It sat for 1 week so I asked a mutual friend if they could deliver it for me.  That was not hard and nothing was damaged nor was there any thanks but not the point. It was dealt with in an Adult manner.

Please, people, grow up, it is not that hard… stop acting like spiteful little children.

Australian's don't donate enough or charities don't collect, you be the judge?

Well if not collecting charity donations that have been left at a charity bin for 2 weeks (in which time it rained) is dumping rubbish then yes we do.

Why remove the 2nd charity bin and then leave it unchecked for over 2 weeks? There was even a lounge suite left there in good condition… well 3 days later it rained so maybe not so good now.

I still need to upload my 3D gallery but I think the fresh crisp new look is a good start.

If you would like to add a link to my site from yours, feel free.  I have has of yet to have a “Links” page on my site, but if you would like me to add a link back to you, I will.

I couldn’t help myself from posting this amazing story. I have also created a group on Facebook with the same title. It is a true story of hope and I believe this little Elisabeth is a real Superhero.

Rescuers pulled a three-week-old baby girl alive from the rubble of a house more than a week after it was destroyed in Haiti’s devastating earthquake.

The baby’s uncle told the station that the girl, named Elisabeth, was 23 days old. The station reported she was in healthy condition and did not appear wounded and had been taken to an American field hospital nearby.

I will post some of the best questions to this blog along with my answers. This should be fun.

My single male friend has no children of his own but would rather date a single mum because he believes that we have more to give a relationship.  He reckons that we know what we want out of life and where we want to go.  We have a life so to speak.

I also believe this to be true but also stated to him that my biggest issue is that Single Mum’s have a lot more to lose than just our feelings if the relationship doesn’t work. What about the kids… they get attached too.  We come as a package.

This is true and my friend believes this is what makes mum’s work harder at making relationships work.  Said male friend’s theory is that mother’s have their life & their kids, they are not interested in hanging off your arm every second or making sure that you are together 24/7.  They allow for breathing space within the relationship.

I explained that I have a fear of dating a guy that has no children of his own.  How does this effect the dynamics of dating… I cannot just jump straight into a relationship and hope that it works.  I don’t have the flexibility of spontaneity that makes relationships “fun”.

I asked my friend “but don’t you want kids of your own one day?”  His reply was that maybe but it wouldn’t matter to him if he was happy in the relationship.  If you love someone enough their kids will be enough too.

How wise he is…
